(Anonymous) 2017-01-17 12:32 am (UTC)(link)Today, a friend of a friend declared to all of us that Jyn Erso is racist, because she "disrespects" Cassian Andor and Saw Gerrera. By "disrespect" she meant "argues with them."
Apparently, a white woman arguing with non-white men, regardless what those men have done, is wrong.
People kind of awkwardly changed the subject after that, but...what.
What is this kind of logic.
"Hey Cassian, I know you were ordered to kill my father, and you almost did it, but the actor who plays you is Mexican, so I'm not gonna call you on it."
"Hey Saw, I know you raised me up as a child soldier and eventually abandoned me in a bunker, but the actor who plays you is black, so don't worry, I'll swallow my pain and pretend everything is cool between us."
And how is it not racist to say that non-white people must always be treated like shining paragons of virtue.
And what about the gender dynamic, here, because isn't this also saying a woman should just roll over and be a doormat for a couple of men?
Here's this super diverse movie, and it's still bad and wrong because the female character is white. And, you know, maybe there's something to the idea we should get to have some more non-white women as protagonists, since there's still a gap there, but there's a point where it's like...are you sure you're not trying to find a reason to be mad?
For fuck's sake.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-17 12:42 am (UTC)(link)Okay, the fandom was always... weird with that. From the start, really. But I never got why all the people who actually liked the books and JKR left, and all the people who think the books suck after the fourth one and JKR is the devil and Draco's leather pants should've defeated Voldemort stayed.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-17 02:20 am (UTC)(link)I liked the books and saw the movies (with the exception of stuff released in the last two years). As long as fucking Freeform doesn't air the movies every other goddamn week I don't think I'll get tired of HP.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-17 03:28 am (UTC)(link)Translation: a small minority of people are now saying they don't feel total adoration for one of the most famous, bestselling, internationally beloved fantasy series of all time.
Haha, come on, no. That's just absurd exaggeration.

(Anonymous) 2017-01-17 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)I went back and forth on it for a week because I didn't really need it, but I really really liked the idea of it glowing purple, finally decided what the hell I'd treat myself... and now I just feel like I made the wrong choice.
