If I've been against fictional characters who were originally conceived as white or redheaded ones being portrayed by black actors, more so with actual historical figures being changed for the sake of forced inclusion and political correctness.
I'm sorry but this is blackwashing and forced inclusion like I mentioned before. It's actually demeaning and racist characters or real people being tokenized to content black people. How is whitewashing wrong but not the other way around?

Pretty stupid,well very stupid to change the race of a historical figure. Looks totally woke and gives ammunition to the right wing. Very different to a fictional character that when created can be anything according to the author. Whats next henry the 8th been played by a good looking skinny asian guy?!
God help beautiful liz for playing cleo back in the day.

Jesus actual Christ. BBC News - Flash Gordon gets warning for 'potentially offensive' Ming the Merciless www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55409194He said: "Ming the Merciless is coded as an East Asian character due to his hair and make-up, but he's played by a Swedish actor in the film, he's played by Max Von Sydow, which I don't think is something that would happen if this were a modern production, and is something that we're also aware that viewers may find dubious if not outright offensive. |

While we're at it, people should cancel and being outraged at The Beaty and The Beast because it normalizes and romanticizes bestiality and the Stockholm syndrome. *sarcasm * We can't judge cartoons and animated movies from 80, 70, 60 years ago with today's standards and ideologies because those were different times and different points of view on how people saw life. It's enervating children nowadays are treated condescendingly, like sensitive idiots who can't distinguish reality from FICTION. |

I remember when the argument of trans activists was that sex=/=gender. When they said gender can be fluid/a matter of choice, but oh no, they aren't anti-science and they do not claim sex isn't real or that it isn't a biological fact. Now we got to a point where they did start claiming that. Bye-bye sex-based protections for women and girls.

After I read respect's last post it appeared in the Google news section this note about Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) expressing support towards JK Rowling. I don't know if Ralph said more on the controversy regarding JK (you have to register and pay to read fully the original telegraph interview) but I really liked what it's highlighted in most notes because it shows Ralph's class, maturity, reason and that he doesn't have a lynch mob mentality like most virtue signallers involved in the Harry Potter franchise. “I can’t understand the vitriol directed at her,” Fiennes told The Telegraph about Rowling and the backlash she’s faced over the last year. “I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.” www.indiewire.com/2021/03/ralph-fiennes-defends-jk-rowling-hatred-disturbing-1234624445/amp/Whether trans activists and allies like it or not, what JK expressed were valid concerns towards the rapid increase of children and young teens making life altering decisions that won't be able to reverse in most cases if it turns out some people were wrong on having gender dysphoria. It was also disturbing she was hailed as transphobic for not disregarding the concept of biological sex, by negating it, it also negates trans people going through gender dysphoria. I believe in trans rights but some activists and allies zealotry makes them go to the extreme of violating biological women's rights and wellbeing. That's why I agree and won't condemn JK. |

Wow....no scientific difference in sports performance between men and women?! All they have to do is look at various sports records to know there is. 100m event is an excellent example. Bolt has the fastest time with 9.58 seconds whereas the fastest women's time is 10.49 seconds. And 10.49 seconds gets you a ranking in the all time stakes between 1100th and 1200th! Logically, there's only one rational explanation for this - men have a clear biological advantage. |

Similar arguments are made in regards to white people today who some extremists demand must apologise the actions of their ancestors. Even if your own ancestors had zero involvement in the Atlantic slave trade. No way on earth would I apologise for shit I haven't personally done. Extremist wokes like to pressure people into kowtowing to their ridiculous demands, but they better be prepared to besiege those who are resistant to their nonsense..... I'll stay on my feet, thanks wokies! ;-) |
