Damon was chastised for portraying a deemed Asian character to hell and back.zombie wrote:scarjo was bullied out the trans role, and she shouldn't have been. it did more harm than anything else. i don't know anything about the matt damon thing?
but so, they cast a gay actress to play a gay character. and that's where you find the problem? enh, whatever.
My problem is, actors can't portray and do make believe anymore? Get the fuck over yourselves.

This is why I don't want Hollywood touching the classics, anymore. If they bring back F13 in any form, they will turn Jason into a transqueer or something.

and i pointed out three cases that yes they can still play make believe. and probably always will be able to. bullying someone out of a role is not a good look, whether that someone shares real life traits with the character or not.
Re: August 7th 2018
Remember, it only goes in one direction. SJWs have no problem with a black person playing a white character or a trans person playing a non trans.Reign in Blood wrote:Damon was chastised for portraying a deemed Asian character to hell and back.zombie wrote:scarjo was bullied out the trans role, and she shouldn't have been. it did more harm than anything else. i don't know anything about the matt damon thing?

Sorry for not wanting my childhood memories crapped all over. Why don't we make Spider-man a child molestor while we are at it. Plenty in Hollywood to play that role...zombie wrote:okay. so then don't get hung up on how a role is cast, so much?Foo wrote:Asian and Caucasian don't have clear lines.

Anybody ever had a fucking headache that is persistent every day for like two weeks and you need tylenol just to function? Knowing my luck it is either a clot in the brain or a tumor, but assuming it's non-life threatening, I think it's a tension headache. My symptoms seem to match it, and today I can feel this tingling-soreness in my neck.
