They always do, and it always goes the same.
"X doesn't even exist!"
"X exists, but it's not what you say it is!"
"X is what you say it is, and that's a good thing!"
So...They Fury Roaded He-Man.
...Seriously, why isn't this a thing? It definitely should be a thing.
I would not have believed if you told me I'd ever be saying this only a year or two ago, but quite frankly, fuck Neil Gaiman.
Selling out your work, whether over ideology or simple greed, is bad enough, but don't fucking piss on my head and tell me it's raining.
I'll second Berserk, Blame!, One Punch Man and Blade of the Immortal.
Off the top of my head, some more (mostly older) stuff I haven't seen mentioned yet:
-Lone Wolf and Cub
-New Lone Wolf and Cub
-Path of the Assassin
-Nausicaä of the Vallley of the Wind
-Akira
-The Monkey King
Reminds me a lot of a video I once saw by, you know, an actual South African on racism and race relations... probably because as he described his growing up there, my exact thoughts were - I fucking kid you not - "damn, that sounds exactly like what SOCJUS zombies are trying their fucking hardest to do to the US".
Holy mother of fuck, the depth of the sheer fucking ignorance on these absolute clowns somehow never ceases to astonish me.
Seriously, is two minutes on Wikipedia to find out that "amen" is a Hebrew word roughly meaning "so be it" too fucking much to ask of them?
Honestly, I can't remember any specific scenes or details; like I said, it's entirely possible I've just become so allergic to wokeness, I'm starting to see it where there's none.
Season 1 was incredible. Season 2, eh...
It's been a while, but I seem to recall getting a certain whiff of wokeness off it. Nothing much, mind, and it may certainly be just me getting a bit too oversensitive towards this shit, but yeah, I remember feeling slightly worried about it towards the end.
Guess I'll start on season 3 today.
If only.
This came from the mind of a person who decided he was going to teach his kids (assuming he would be physiologically capable of fathering any) that Santa Claus was black, and to explain them only ever seeing regular Santa anywhere, he'd tell them that was "Santa's Husband" - and then went on to write a children's book about it
So yeah, no troll here. The horrifying truth is, this was 100% sincere on his part.
So predictable, it would be funny... if it wasn't just depressing instead.
"Oh, but it's a STUNNING and BRAVE film that deals with growing up as a muslim womyn of color, and it actually denounces the sexualization of children!"
Yeah... "denounces" by engaging in it. Truly a work of genius, that only someone in the far-right (i.e., anyone who's not a goddamn Maoist) could possibly object to.
So what you did was turn white characters black to fill your quota, because that is somehow not tokenism?
Brilliant move there, geniuses.
According to that lazy fat fuck, he initially thought of making Valyrians as a whole black, yes. But he ultimately didn't, he made them particularly fair-skinned even by Westeros standards. So get fucked with that disingenuous bullshit.
