Kinda shocking — first time in a long time that a redhead comic book character has been cast with an actual redhead actor in a modern live-action version (media.communities.win)

Because its a villain.
They have no problem with whitey playing the villain. That fits perfectly with how things operate now.

Also so they can have an interracial sapphic subplot, that even more woke points than two black girls.

Yep. It's that simple.

Whites are to be portrayed as evil wherever possible.

It's ok, man.
If the people pushing this nonsense who are obsessed with defining everyone by their intrinsic attributes are somehow the "heroes," then I'm perfectly content if they want to label me as a "villain" for disagreeing.

You are probably right. I keep thinking they will see how stupid all the race swapping has been.

I don't think they will.
What's funny, is that when i visit my Mother (I don't watch TV) and she has something on TV, I notice that white men literally don't exist in any commercial anymore. They're nearly gone completely. The ones that are there tend to be fat, overweight, balding, and typically the subject of some joke being made. I understand trying to add more representation, but it really has reached an almost ludicrous level of pandering at this point. Worth a good laugh, though.
I'll never understand why so many people base their entire identity around such pointless things. Even more bizarre, is that society has begun making that viewpoint seem like it's strange somehow. Like people are supposed to base their entire life around those things.

Yea I’ve noticed that too. Also have said the same thing about going overboard on the diversity thing. It’s like a cult

Yeah, but it's Netflix. Everyone knows Netflix is trash, so I guess it's not too unexpected...
After they straight up promoted thinly veiled pedo crap, I'm honestly surprised people still use their service.

I was out when they did an 0bama payoff, but any thoughts of ever temp subscribing to watch something died with the pedo shit.

People should have gone to jail.

Definitely.
On the bright-side, it was a fantastic litmus test to see who the real creeps of society are. The amount of people who defended that film blew me away.

Ironically works against them too. Since villains can be far more interesting characters because they're not constrained by being good, White characters will still always be more popular, because villains are always more popular characters.

The last bastion for the embattled ginger. You can still be the villain.

Enjoy it while you can. Soon you won’t even be allowed to be the bad guy.

lol but she'll be lesbian in an interracial relationship, so that's the tradeoff.

I would actually genuinely be shocked if she wasn't.

They ret-conned her into a lesbian, along with Harley Quinn. Those two were never lesbians in the past.

Well. At least it was 2 hot gurls being lesbians. Usually one or both are butch dykes.

Poison Ivy was redhead in the show Gotham. They even cast a two white girls for her as young and older Ivy.

That show was surprisingly free of wokeness despite the time it aired. There was a little gogurl bullshit but no nigger worship.

Because it's a villain. White people bad. If it had been a heroic role, it'd be a shitskin.

CW and Batwoman though.

Will be total trash. The lead actress jumped ship after one season when she could see the garbage it was.
