Re: Of COURSE most people hate Tumblr

Honestly, while I have my grievances with Tumblr (not related to the 'it's populated largely by teenage girls' thing), you're so on the money with the 'everything that's popular with females is shat upon'. That's something that's always bothered me in the back of my mind (like when Twilight was A Thing, even though I was largely ambivalent/indifferent towards it), but I couldn't really ever articulate it. So thank you for that.

(Also, please forgive my ignorance, but what 'certain sci-fi movie' are you referring to? My curiosity is piqued)

I'm guessing the new Star Trek thing with Cucumberpatch?

It was Star Trek Into Darkness, a title that really should have a colon in there somewhere. A white, British male played a character named Khan Singh (which are both surnames from very different regions, so if you can't tell, I kind of don't like the character on the basis of a lot of things besides his portrayal).

I get that there were two other actors who rejected the role (although as far as I know, neither of them were Middle Eastern or Indian) before BC got it. And I get that casting a Middle Eastern or Indian man as the terrorist would be unseemly, especially since the movie came out fairly soon after the Boston Bombing. But really, having one other Middle Eastern character who was capable and worked for the good guys would have quieted potential accusations. And then I have a bunch of problems with Khan from an artistic and not political perspective, too, but that's a discussion for my fellow film-watching friends (say that three times fast).

Teal deer says, "It is indeed the Star Trek movie with Cucumberpatch, as the anon above me said."
