Iron Fist totally isn't the best martial artist. The number of times he gets pounded by Asian characters is too many to count.

That trope is not “racist.” And the trope is more “completely random outsider becomes new chosen one.” Which is one that cross-cuts all sorts of races and/or cultures.

That was exactly the point people who said “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” were making. Rob just ignored it altogether to make a strawman op-ed piece

His character was, and is, an appropriation of Asian culture

So white people can’t be good at martial arts, only Asian people? Isn’t that one of them ... what do you call it ... its the stupid thing like asking an Asian kid about math ... umm ... microtransgressions ... yea, there we go. Making Iron Fist an Asian is steriotyping and microtransgressioning ...

Wow, way to totally ignore why people were saying that it was a “damned if they do damned if they don’t”. Seriously, not one mention of the actual argument that these people were making.

Seconded.

Counterpoint: No it doesn’t.
