Resident Evil film reboot is woke trash

Again, it’s a dumb “gotcha” reverse logic argument and something completely unrelated to what we’re discussing.

This isn’t Japan. Every country has their own makeup of cultures or something much more narrow in scope compared to the United States and that’s not a rabbit hole we need to go down.

@Shiftygism, you’re really good ad avoiding to answer questions, almost as good as your old nemisis Niko

What you are saying is not equal opportunity, you’re thinking souly about race

Yes, once uppon a time there was real discrimination, and that’s wrong

It was wrong in the 1940s that Hattie McDaniel was discriminated aginst for being black, that at the oscars, in which she was nominated and won, she was segragated from the rest of the Gone With The Wind cast

But 2 wrongs don’t make a right, we shouldn’t be going black people were oppessed then, now it’s white people’s turn, we should be making sure that such things never happen again, against no one, obvioussly i’m not implying whites are being discriminated against the way blacks were back then, but discrimination starts with making one rule for one race and one for another, so however petty it might be to complain about as you put it “WAAAAAAH! MY COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS CAN’T POSSIBLY BE THE SAME IF THEY DON’T LOOK LIKE THE ONES I KNEW ON THE SURFACE!!!”, it’s still wrong if that change is allowed one way but not the other

People that toss out “virtue signal” claims are usually the ones that want to ignore the existence of issues if they aren’t directly affected by them.

“you’re really good ad avoiding to answer questions, almost as good as your old nemisis Niko”

It was not only a loaded question but one that couldn’t be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” as things aren’t black and white regarding a matter that has nothing to do with what we’re discussing as Japan, and a whole host of countries we could needlessly drag into the conversation have their own cultures, ideals, and values.

“What you are saying is not equal opportunity, you’re thinking souly about race… …discrimination starts with making one rule for one race and one for another”

Again, back to the original discussion, the Resident Evil film would’ve had five (primarily) white leads had they not switched things up. They lost two to diversity casting. So what. So fucking what.There shouldn’t be rules when it comes to this sort of thing, it should be common fucking sense. The ethnicity of a character in most cases, especially for shit like Resident Evil, doesn’t matter and allows such changes. Not many white folks are chomping at the bit to be lead in a Tyler Perry film so don’t sit there and give me this there has to equal treatment in casting practices. I’m sure folks will adjust, they’ll have to, things need to change, and these dipshits that cry over superficial elements like these need to realize that when a studio lands the rights to a property they can do with it whatever they like for better or worse. Be it a half black Jill Valentine that angers bigots like Swag or complete failures of characterizations and storylines as we got with Fox’s X-men.

It shouldn’t work both ways.

The problem lies with “all characters being played by white actors.”

It isn’t necessary and things need to change.

Also, Zendaya isn’t playing Mary Jane Watson, she’s a reimagined version of that character.

Peter Sellers however…being a white man, playing an Indian (Native American?), is racist…but the world and industry was much different back then.

@Shiftygism, by saying it shouldn’t work both ways you’re just proving you’re a hypocrite, the problem doesn’t lie with all character’s being played by white actors, the problem lied once upon a time with actors of other races being discriminated against, now that has changed it doesn’t mean there can never be an all white cast again, it just means that there can also be mixed cast, and all black cast, and all asian cast ecc.

And when i said indian, i meant indian from india… i’m gonna guess that you don’t find it racist for actors of other races to play white characters

“it doesn’t mean there can never be an all white cast again, it just means that there can also be mixed cast, and all black cast, and all asian cast ecc.”

semantics.

“i’m gonna guess that you don’t find it racist for actors of other races to play white characters”

Again, keep up…if there’s no reason for the character to be white…they don’t have to be in a reasonable instance, especially when need to broaden the makeup of the cast.

The Resident Evil film, and even the casting of Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker were instances of that.

Equality, lol. We’re not talking about a equality, we’re talking about a measly seat at the table. EVEN IF you change a role here and there when it’s a character that would allow it, it’s still likely gonna be disproportionate makeup of folks in a white dominated industry. Sometimes doing what’s right and being fair doesn’t always go hand in hand, nor should it.
