The breaking news of Snow White's remake casting, besides breaking me alright, also just reminded me of how Elyan the White was portrayed in the BBC show Merlin (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Want to feel sad, and depressed?

Check the woke washing list I maintain

Http://drjester.neocities.org

It would have been in substack but I can't get it to publish it.

EDIT: Found the issue with substack(it was the crypto addresses). I've added the list to substack. I don't know how I am doing the update yet, update permanently on the already published list, and creating new posts when there is a new update. Or posting a new list every time.

anyway, here it is, http://drjester.substack.com

I'm impressed by your weaponized autism, sir.

Also can't help but be amused that the whitewashing section is virtually all women.

I went over the section of white washing on wiki, and many of those didn't even fit the definition of white washing. I added those that did, and I was surprised at how little there was. Worse still, WaPo even used those same examples as well, they peddle these as if it made it alright to blackwash or gender swap other characters. As in, it was not as a common the whitewashing as they led us to believe.

I don't know. It throws me an error when I press to publish it. Checked my ad blockers, script blockers but no cigar :/

Due to wording like "Muzzie" perhaps.

Time for the other half, then. They're "Slims" now, next up on the euphemism treadmill after that is "Virginias".

Found out the reason, it was the crypto addresses.

Love the list, learned a lot.

Minor thing, though, would Samuel L. Jackson really be considered a race-swap when it was based on the Marvel Ultimate comics run where in that universe (before the MCU even existed) the creators made Nick Fury black (and based on Samuel L. Jackson)? Just asking. I know in some continuities characters change or whatever, and I wasn't sure if that counts.

But otherwise some of those are just disgusting to behold. Also, it appears the same chick who is playing a race-swapped Jill Valentine in the Resident Evil reboot is also playing Red Sonja in the reboot. So they black-washed both characters and lazily hired the same actress for both roles!

I'm following mostly the original design of Nick Fury, because there was even a movie with the original Nick Fury look with the chad looking David Hasselhoff . But I do understand these exceptions, but it needs to be there, regardless.

Oh okay. I wasn't sure how it was being measured.

Thanks for the explanation.

And yeah I remember that movie, it was cheesy but fun. Aired on Fox didn't it? Hasselhoff did a great job as Fury, too. He really brought the comic book character to life.

Oh, I saw it a LONG time ago! To the point that I have mostly forgotten most of it. That means, I got another good movie that I have seen, and that is nearly brand new for me :D

If you're going to make a man called "the White" black, you could at least go through the trouble of making him really black. Just a darkish brown is weak sauce.

I still think the White Witch will stay white in the new Narnia adaptation.

But only her.

Until they make a "Witch" movie about her and make her the tragic victim for some stupid reason like they did with Cruella and Maleficent. The fact both those names scream of negative connotations should be a big give away that in children's stories that's intentional because THEY'RE THE BAD GUY!

Oof, they would love that, turn the Christ figure of the Lion into a negative character. It would be all about the patriarchy.

/thinks back to ancestors who were "actual witches" and were all executed at the time because it was really just several women grassing on each other and taking down as many others they didn't like as they could before their own execution

Hm, I'm sure that subreddit would have some choice words in that situation like,

Ah, no what are you doing?! I'm one of the good ones!

"Jadis"

Turns out her sister leading the rebellion against her on Charn was so evil and terrible she did that world a favor by genociding all life with the Deplorable Word. Now she has to save Narnia from the tyranny of the cruel lion who magiciked it into existence for his own amusement.

Never leaving Earth in that case then.

Why does black skin exist?

Because of higher solar radiation intensities in certain parts of the world.

Why does white skin exist?

Because that solar radiation intensity isn't uniform across the planet and bodies have an 'Energy Budget' for existing that's a balance between survival and reproductive ability. Skew too much in one direction and you screw both facets. Ignoring the human condition the entire point of Life is to reproduce. Sometimes this happens indirectly with kin selection but the basic premise is still there.

What does space travel mean?

Living in artificial structures designed to prevent stellar radiation from killing the inhabitants.

What will that include?

Solar radiations that causes melanin production.

Therefore; spaceborne human civilisations move towards decreased melanin expression because of evolutionary biology as it's no longer needed and in biology waste can mean death and death means no reproduction so plants and animals don't waste energy on things it never needs. This is why tanning happens in people because the body realizes it needs to produce more melanin to survive better. Persist in such an environment tanning will happen and the tan will also persist. Go back to wherever someone came from and there is no more need to the tan fades.

tl;dr Humanity ever lasts long enough to establish itself in space there will be a paradigm shift away from dark skin without artificial manipulation, this includes using a planetary breeding stock to maintain a population gene pool and is probably just stupid and woke enough to be suggested by wokesters if this topic ever gets properly addressed.

See also: There's a reason Superman is white because Kryptonians lore wise are an ancient race. Plus solar absorption for powers works better when there isn't a layer in the skin blocking said solar radiation. Calvin Ellis and Val-Zod and every other black Kryptonian should never, ever be as potentially strong as any white Kryptonian because of this.

That's an actual vague fear of mine, that humanity will be represented in the future and across space by Chinese culture. Aliens would be justified in trying to eradicate us.

Let's say you grant that leftists don't simply desire the total replacement of whires. How exactly would they behave any differently if they did desire such a thing? The only difference is what they claim, and they openly subscribe to ideologies that do not adhere to an objective reality. Why would I believe them? Isn't it more likely that they do want to destroy me and are lying about it so that I won't defend myself?
