Uh buddy they’re off book now. I’m just saying *kanye shrug* They did this already, maybe try something else this time?

and ohmygod SANSA AND JON I’M CRYING

we’re also doing that whole white girl saving the savages thing all over again i see

Oh, I think those countries had other ways of getting technological imports that do not involve racism, slavery and economic exploitation over centuries, as well as spiritual malaise and a bunch of famines. But you do you, white person. Convince yourself colonialism was good for us natives.

westerners forcefully spread their “culture” globally. we didn’t want it.

You’re right, the British brought the English language to India and now most Indian people speak much better English than Americans.

relax no one’s having a mental breakdown.

I’m more offended that Slumdog Millionaire isn’t really even Bollywood. It’s a British film. With an “iconic dance” from the Pussycat Dolls.

Did you even read the poster’s comment? It literally says that the author should stop watching the show if she doesn’t like the violence - which wasn’t what the author said, and the only reason that comment even exists because the poster think “GoT’s violence is awesome” and he/she won’t brook any other opinion IN…

It’s amazing how one manages to miss the point of even a short blog post by clinging to one word, “violence” so.

“DON’T WATCH THE SHOW IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT” is not a criticism of the criticism.

Art gets criticised, that’s kind of a thing that happens, yeah? Don’t read the criticism if you know you’ll feel the need to start whining about it.

if you don’t like reading differing opinions on a show you like

Yeah - I hate it when people say shit like “oh they want to be white” etc etc. Marge Simpson has an afro and yellow skin, yet she is considered white. Just because they don’t have explicit stereotypical characterisation doesn’t mean they’re white - Kyoto style eyes are simply an artistic styling. They’re Japanese…

Perhaps, but again - don’t put Hollywood racism on that - they’re literally adapting Japanese shows, and they choose white actors to play Japanese characters with Japanese names within the context of their culture. “That’s what you get” is kind of a problematic tone to take. It’s on the studio execs, simple as that.

It’s not because they’re dumb. They don’t really think she is white. They just couldn’t care less that she’s Japanese. The name of the character is Major Motoko Kusanagi. They knew what they were doing.

So white amirite?

Yeah, but ironic racism can still actually be racist - it doesn’t matter what you were going for. Sure, some Chinese folks and many self aware white people might find it funny. But so far, from social media - Chinese people don’t like it. It can come from a genuine place or a non-racist place and still be racist in…

Maybe so, but you telling me that Chinese people reading that people are going to feel all fuzzy about it? Ironic racism can still hurt people. Think of more creative ways to criticise it if you want to. This might not feel like a “fun take” to Asian people reading it. Now, self aware hip white people might feel…

Or the word processing software, Sentencé.
