Scarlett Johansson and that lgqbt role

[Great Rumbler]

This SJW agenda has pretty much destroyed comics.

The American comics industry has more interesting stuff going on in right now than it ever has, so I dunno what you're talking about here.

I’ve maintained that it is a mental disorder so I don’t think you know that I’m not triggered by your comment you hateful plebeian.

oh good then. we agree. kisses 

I’m not sure we do agree.

You: trans is a mental illness. You are a man.

Me: if you demedicalize being trans, insurance companies will have no reason to provide trans care because the uWu’s  will have made it not a medical problem but a social one. Thereby no longer giving insurance companies the need to help pay for life saving medicine which will make almost every trans commit mass suicide. Another short term solution to a larger problem to make sjws feel better.

don't trans people commit suicide at alarming rates even afterwards anyways?

oh you're right all those articles about how the comic industry is struggling must be clickbait

Why are you hand-wringing about sales? Go read some actual good comics, of which there are currently plenty on the market.

You're right my apologies Dog. I don't care about comics, never did, never will.

[TVC15]

Also I’m specifically only talking about major characters here. Really minor characters though? Who cares?

I think they should slap a ginger wig on Kevin Hart and BAM!! new Jimmy Olsen.

You really think he could finish a 22 page comic where each page has like two dozen words on it? You know you’re asking too much of wonder boy.

[thisismyusername]

First he couldn't finish 22 pages of Jordan Peterson

Then he couldn't finish 22 pages of comic books

Next he won't be able to finish Green Eggs and Ham

It's a wonder he's able to form coherent sentences. I'm wondering if he's using a librarian to make these posts.

[Assimilate]

You think i don't know you guys would literally ejeculate in your pants knowing i bled through that Peterson paper?

I’m on so many medications and drugs that I can’t even get erections, let alone ejaculate.

Dude, I have to stand over the urinal/toilet like a full minute after peeing because of prescription-related muscle control/release/whatever issues. I accidentally piss like a cup of piss in my shorts like twice a week at work because I forget or get impatient.

Isn't an ideal situation for a trans person is to go from day to day without having to think about what gender they were born as, and for others to not give a shit what gender they were born as and accept them as the gender that they currently are? Isn't bringing up that somebody is trans outing them?

[nachobro]

Like isnt the best actor supposed to get the part

Isnt that what equality is about

scarlett best actor

scarlett best tiddies

Some trans people revel in the "identity", the social side. There's many of us who don't care about that and just want to live our lives as how we feel fit. Many are activists, but not all of us are. It's fine if someone wants to be an activist. It allows a voice for those of us who don't want to speak up. The problem occurs when they try to speak for all trans people. Ten years ago, most trans people tried to be stealth, as in, no one knowing you’re trans. That was the goal. It's different these days but stealth and all that comes with it is still very much a thing.

yeah but now because hollywood and mainstream media got on the trans bandwagon all of a sudden it's 'trendy' to talk about trends issue, relate with a trans person, or in some instances pretend you are actually trans.

it's fucking mind blowing but no difference than the booty implant craze after the kardashians did it. it will eventually go away.

[Himu]

Lol no one is pretending to be trans irl

Lol no one is pretending to be trans irl

yeah i dunno about that

After they saw Caitlyn Jenner win all those awards, they want awards too!

i find it funny some of you can both mock the lunacy of REE and then come here and claim people aren't that stupid  and crazy.

Please give us examples of people that are pretending to be transexual. Please.

wasn't this a dave chapelle bit

assi is probably confused

[benjipwns]

Limited to the statement, I'm sure there are people playing trans on ERA/the internet. But the "in real life" part is more difficult. For one thing, it implies they exist in real life and I have not independently confirmed that yet.

[Himu]

Ah, irl. Yeah, true enough.

[bluemax]

Remember back in the day when Michael Jackson and then later Marlon Wayans were up for the role of Robin in Batman movies and then later it went to a white guy.

Or how they re-cast Billy Dee Williams with a white guy to play Two Face?

[I'm a Puppy!]

not to defend assimilate, but I sorta get the whole "people pretending to trans IRL" cause I saw it when my daughter ran her highschool's LGBT club.

There were two kids in there that were definitely trans. They took it seriously and it wasn't "man in a dress" trans, I mean if you knew them you knew that they were damned serious about it. Then there were a bunch of other kids that decided they were "gender fluid" and treated it like a fad. Changing their gender as they wanted, naming themselves after their favorite anime characters and such one week they'd get all pissed if you called them a guy, the next you'd be crucified for calling them a girl. Of course, they're teens and we all did stupid stuff in our teens but I can see where the criticism comes from. I don't think it's common place, and it's a stupid thing, but I can't say I don't understand when people say "some people pretend to be trans" because I've certainly seen it.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I feel like confused kids trying to figure shit out is very different from people pretending to be trans.

I agree. But I can see how an idiot like Assi would be like "haha! SEE?! People DO pretend to be trans!!"

I mean, it's not a large jump.

[Himu]

What if they speak for trans people while being confused?

Trans trender is a phrase in the trans community. A lot of trans people think there’s people trying to be trans because they think it’s the it thing now. Like trans is counter culture and the new punk or emo. So not even people like assimilate are the only ones to hold those views.

i'm the idiot here? i'd pull my fucking kid out of that school.

go ahead and foster that type of fucking behavior lol

"hey im a girl today.... nope i'm a boy today fuck you"

this is what passes for "teens being teens" now?

amazing. this social experiment should turn out alright

umm...how is that even a question, in this or any thread?

[Himu]

Worst part of the people Puppy talked about is that they help create animosity between trans people and non binary people. People like that are what many trans people think of when they hear non binary and it’s like they’re pissing in the pool. So now many trans people flat out assume all non binary people are like that.

Well, like, playing the Major in GitS requires one to be soulless and unemotional and get their tits out lots, ScarJo is perfect for that role ethnicity aside. Also that movie was really bad and so she did everyone else involved with the project a favor by being the fall guy person in that particular situation. Doing the trans role basically immediately afterwards is just amusing cause she's pissing everyone off again. I'd feel sorry for her but it's probably just her agent shoving her at whatever will be the biggest paycheck.

The difference here is you seem to be coming at it from the perspective of concern for what such behavior may do to harm a vulnerable and often targeted sect of today's society. Assimilate is just a POS that seems to always be using his  try-hard alpha online persona to make up for his real-life misery and hatefulness, so he tends to gravitate exclusively toward any argument that reinforces those ignorances and prejudices.

Like I would suspect he also gets disproportionately worked up over the relatively small upticks in false positives stemming from strengthening norms and laws governing sexual harassment and rape aimed to address the much larger issue of a systemic imbalance for the actual victims of these things. Whereas a normal person worries about that issue like you would a serious but low probability side effect from a life saving drug, something that needs to be addressed and treated but not something to justify sticking to the backasswards practice of bloodletting instead of moving forward.

[brawndolicious]

What I got out of this thread is that representation is bad because then there's a greater chance everyone will be able to read the mind of low-motivation descendants of imperialists.

[VomKriege]

Re: ghost in the shell. In the actual anime/manga the Android body is white, right? Just the spirit or mind or whatever is Japanese, I think?

If true it’s even funnier she gets shit for whitewashing because it’s actually accurate to the source material.
Edit: reddit tells me it’s axually open to interpretation as to what she is supposed to look like and is never explicitly defined as looking as a certain race.

Never took the Major for a "white body" in any of the manga or anime.


But it doesn't matter a ton in a world where ghosts can switch bodies on a whim (one rogue agent do that from a male company executive to a female blonde) or become outright robots (like the CEO / porn doll maker) anyway. The manga doesn't cover identity in that way really and is even pretty light on the whole nationality thing (it's made explicit that it's Japan and there's a couple of story threads around that but Newport could have been made a cosmopolitan city state like Olympus without much fuss. Stand Alone Complex is way more into fitting it in a recognizable geopolitic landscape).

As for the trans role I dunno... I'm not here to tell people how they feel about that but in the grand scheme of things I think the film would have been a net positive for the image of trans people (provided the writing was up to par) and removing herself from the project may have doomed it's financing or the prospect of a wider release.

[HardcoreRetro]

If I worked on a project and they wanted me to make a known white character black I would outright refuse.

I'd put shoe polish on a white actor.

Or maybe she was going for that almighty Oscar nom? You know like a ton of actors have gotten simply by playing a gay/trans/ whatever the fuck role that the perv infested Hollywood loves so much.

Just think of it from her view: you see all your peers get nominated for such roles so why wouldn't you take one? especially for a hot button topic such as this trans shit is now in libby moronic circles?

No, of course not, everyone must slam her for 'poor' taste or being an idiot because she 'pissed everyone off' in the tumblr gay sphere. But don't take my hatefulness the wrong way,  i would like nothing more than Hollywood in its current form to implode.

"Early white performers in blackface used burnt cork and later greasepaint or shoe polish to blacken their skin and exaggerate their lips"

I know my racism.

Edit: In fact, the character in my avatar uses shoe polish to paint his beak black. His actual beak is yellow cause his mom ain't a crow, but a blackbird.
