McGregor is a trash human, but that’s typical pub shit. The old guy’s probably also a miserable cunt. He took that shot unfazed.

Here endeth the lesson.

Even Hardees/Carl Jr is rolling out a Beyond Burger. so if that does well also, then the remaining brands have a choice: make not having a plant option a marketing point, which could be tricky, or respond - even if begrudgingly - with an option.
I suspect you’re right and it’ll be the latter, with the only question…

I’ve been wondering this. I think for vegans, this is already a no go due to the bun (butter, milk, eggs), but the cross-contamination will be an issue for stricter vegetarians. My guess is, BK will initially shrug at the issue (meaning issue a formal handling/prep policy but then not focus on violations except in…

lie. lie backed up by out of context information. lie. information out of context to support lie. lie contradicting previous lie as rhetorical escape hatch.

it’s a wave. It’ll play out like any other wave because it isn’t anything special.

maybe some sort of sonic repellent, although to be fair, that’s technically us coming into their environment with tasty food. Maybe a change to containers from plates could stem a lot (recyclable of course).

let’s disagree to agree - but let’s agree that you’re wrong.

the greatest black superhero movie since Meteor Man

They ARE wrong. It’s easier for them because it’s a lazy racist trope they just leaned on. But it’s no harder than marketing anything else. A white lead isn’t some magic formula. A PoC lead can very easily open a major movie. Even a shitty movie. And racism being secondary, we can agree on. But racism (the racist…

No. I am saying they want to maximize profits and making racist assumptions and taking racist actions in figuring out how to do that. They aren’t race extremists, they’re business people. And they have implicit (racist) assumptions and calculations that inform their business decisions. Just like how in the 40s, women…

This is actually the time to grab the line, I think, and put it in storage as a curio.

Racism and greed are not exclusive. Greed is, they want to maximize profits exclusive of other concerns. Racism comes into play when deciding what will be ways to do that, such as deciding a white actor will be a better draw than a person of color, which is a racist assumption, and then blithely whitewashing a…

Thank you, yes, I already am aware of the rationalizations underpinning whitewashing. I wasn’t laboring under the conception they were doing it for the glory of the Aryan race. Racism, you see, comes in different forms.

Since I’ve addressed these points, simply refer to our earlier exchanges.

1. you clearly do care but maybe what you mean is you aren’t impacted.
2. It is, and I didn’t, and you’re the one that seems to have a problem with people having a problem with the movie.
3. Hey, thanks, we’re pushing for that as well. So, more diverse filmmakers and better decisions by white filmmakers to not engage in…

First, she doesn’t look more Caucasian as some objective fact, that’s your subjective interpretation. Second, what you are fundamentally wrong about is trying to justify whitewashing. Whitewashing is a shitty practice, it needs to die, go fight better fights.

The film. Correct. The white creators of that film wrote her as white using source material in which the character was Asian. In the manga, she is not designed to “look white” nor is she Caucasian, nor is that a plot point. It was introduced by the white writers.  I always wonder about someone like you. You know this…

Ah, and now we come to the ethnicity deflection. Ethnicity is not race and this is about white hegemony that has marginalized representation in roles by people of color. It’d be nice in a utopian reality to not have to worry about this bullshit. But we do, because when people of color didn’t speak up and out, mostly…
