Given that the reboot of the cult classic is missing two key ingredients—Guillermo Del Toro and original star Ron Perlman—I’m not sure folks should get their hopes up too high in general.

Holy bullshit batman.

LOL. There’s a shitload of talent of all ethnicities out there. It’s absurd that anyone would think no other actor could play any role given to Ed Skrein.

Very easy to work with, very modest base salary, takes relatively low points, genuinely nice person to speak with, middling actor. My understanding is he’s also capable of working on very tight shoot schedules and available on short notice.

10/10 Would pay to see Takei in Ghost in the Shell

They had to go with the backup plan since Mickey Rooney has passed:

Yeah, it seems a bit ridiculous to cast an Ashkenazi Jewish/English guy like Skrein as a Japanese American character. How on Earth do you pull that one off?

Whether or not they were pieces of shit (boy howdy, they were), Americans revere the Founding Fathers for the, uh, not piece of shit things they did, like creating the modern conception of republican government. I’m not saying we shouldn’t tear their statues down, but if we let them stand there’s at least a reason to…

Nah. He’ll go home and think about how justified he is in his beliefs, and that all those people that view him as a monster are just simple minded “savages”.

Some day I’ll get tired of seeing that. Today is not that day.

All of this. Being a white CIS male I’ve got some huge advantages and am pretty sure it’s impossible for me to really appreciate what that means properly. No matter how hard I try I doubt I’ll ever ‘get’ it. That’s a hard thing to really embrace, I’ve got all these pesky biases that keep sneaking in. Brains are…

Throwing allies under the bus

Cosigned (as another “wypipo”)

I say this as a white person (and the spouse and mom to POC) to other whites if you are offended by this article. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!

Agreed. Don’t worry about bruising my ego; I’m not here for pats on the back. Just tell me what I can do to help.

NOw if More White People had your responses, AMerica would DEFINITELY Be great!

But Yesha you don’t understand, as a White British man not even in the US only I have the true account and explanation of what went down yesterday and I have to let you all know what went down and how that affects Black America.

tl;dr - The harm done to white feelings is not equal to the harm done to black bodies. Help or get out of the way.

Came here to say tht, but got distracted with the cray-cray. But yeah, if you have ever tried to “slash” a tire, you know you are not slashing kevlar/aramid/steel fibers with your knife. A stab is all you can do because you can get the separation through the intersection of overlapping fibers.

Immediate red flag when someone describes themselves as a “guerilla journalist.” No actual training in or study of what journalism is/means, including pesky fact-checking, etc. Use of the term “guerilla journalism” is an attempt to apply a sheen of legitimacy to the practice of disingenuously tricking people into…
