    I think the most frustrating part about this is that Gerard Way wrote a really intruiging, different Asian Spider-Woman using Evangelion influences without it being ridiculously racist, and the adaptation took one look at Peni and made her Lowest Common Denominator Anime Girl.
    I will never forgive spiderverse for changing everything abt peni bc she looked like gwen 😭

    I’m just begging non Asian people who consume our media and don’t actually know Asian history to stop making takes. Not everything has to be an assumption, just ask! But the folks who do this just like pretending every country has the same history and developments as the US.

    there’s a weird specific kind of orientalist escapism that comes from weeb vtubers who brand themselves this way. they brand themselves as ‘sakura wolf spirits’ because they wanna pretend they’re not real ass people living in real ass society. i have no sympathy for this white.

    The issue with the minority of people still going “Well give it a chance, it may be good!” is that studios have demonstrated time and time again their main point with these ‘remakes’ is to take a perfectly good movie and remake it with less Asians.

    Way's Parker was a refreshing difference from Dan Slott's Silk, whose origin story is hugely orientalist. Here was a white dude and one of the best frontpeople of a band ever who actually wrote an Asian character with some respect and the studio fucked it.

    Ian Ousley, the actor cast to play Sokka in Netflix's 'authentic, diverse' live-action Avatar The Last Airbender series is enrolled in a fake tribe. Ousley is from a Trump-supporting family and the thread has evidence his family paid a fake registrar to list them as Cherokee.
    just in!!!! proof ian ousley (sokka) is enrolled in a fake tribe and not cherokee (continued on next)
    Readers added context
    The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky is an unrecognized tribe, but it is not the only one. Over 200 tribes are unrecognized by the government and has created many issues for Native Americans. Just because a Tribe is unregistered doesn't mean it isn't indigenous. npr.org/2021/04/17/988… theguardian.com/us-news/2020/d… nytimes.com/2022/04/12/sci…

    Like full offense if you’re white and don’t actually speak japanese this is so fucking cringe and a specific kind of racist, but weebs don’t really think of japan or asian folks in general as real people or as a real place. just fiction to consumed for white identity.

    A reminder: these were the people they promoted to 'fix' the work culture of misogyny and sexual assault, and they couldn't even be bothered to pay O'Neal an equal salary. The rot is deep at Activision Blizzard.
    Former Blizzard co-lead Jen Oneal says Activision Blizzard rejected multiple requests for equal pay with her male counterpart Mike Ybarra, and was only offered an equivalent contract after resigning from the role. ign.com/articles/blizz…

    I wish wh1te critics would stop bringing up old racist Wachowski works like Speed Racer without mentioning the racism? I like that movie. It has a great ‘live cartoon’ visual style, but do you seriously need Asian people to tell you your movie full of evil Asians is racist?

    How are you a professor giving your opinion on a show where you admit you don’t speak the language and have zero cultural context for the level of conversation around brown immigrants in Korea? you admit already you don’t have to tools to know if it’s an authentic representation

    i love being a person of color. our very presence convinces people that someone, out there, is woke, if we are ever put in fucking anything.

    legitimately did not get that ‘cho chang’ was supposed to be asian, as an asian in an asian country reading these books, because not a single goddamn person i grew up with had anything close to that kind of name.
