(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 12:50 am (UTC)(link)Regarding Darwin specifically. He was the only character who could justifiably, within the bounds of the various character motivations, attempt to make the challenge. Within the structure of the movie, whoever made the challenge had to die. His ethnicity is irrelevant to the heroic sacrifice at that stage. Lit 101 stuff there.
Also it is no-win scenario for the director there. If you have Darwin step up and be the one to make the challenge, you are anti-black by having him fail (he can't win because the movie would end there). If you have a white character (or white-blue) then you have activists saying stuff along the lines of "how come you made the brother out to be a coward, you tryin' to say black people cower behind whites and don't step up? Someone's gotta die at that point and if you've got a racially diverse cast, whoever you pick you've got SJWs ranting at you.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 01:17 am (UTC)(link)It..., you know what. Burn the niggers and the chinks, impale the sodomites on a splintery post like old Vlad used to. See I'm saying that because you don't give a fuck about anything except showing off your so-special SJ credentials and you know fuck all about context or story structure so I might as well fill this post with slurs about the retards and mongoloids and how they all deserve to be castrated so they can't breed. And the jews too, fucking splitters.
You've already made up your mind, so I'm just doing this to play down to your mindset which you would mentally file any real explanation into. Hey, don't forget the those scalping happy, firewater drinking injuns too.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 04:32 am (UTC)(link)Yeah ... just, next time, just don't bother replying because you're not as clever as you think you are.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 05:28 am (UTC)(link)Or more likely intentionally ignoring it in favor of insulting anyone who doesn't believe every choice ever has to be made with the conscious intent of avoiding even a whiff of racism or OMG RACIST!!1!1!!!
How's the air up there on that pedestal? Getting thin?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-16 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)I was reading along this thread and suddenly...BAM! offensive performance art, wtf?! Way to undermine any argument the AYRT might have had.
