| Azuren said: The difference is your argument predicates persecution against over-represented identities under the hard left assumption that you can't persecute white straight cis males. Mine is "all persecution is bad". So you can think you're right all you'd like: you're still the one advocating for persecution. I bet you also think Affirmative Action is a good thing.
Were people upset, or weren't they? Was the movie good because they made Domino black? Would it have been worse if they had an equally talented white woman play the white character? Do you feel somehow justified that leftist sites liked the blackwashing just as much as the movie itself? |
Didnt I say we arent gonna convince each other? But sure, let's do this I guess. The difference is I think I'm right and you think you're right. A wise man once said "Don't pretend it's more complicated than that."
I'd love to live in a post-discrimination society that allows me to agree with you, beleive me. The Affirmative Action point (I really did guess corectly it would be brought up eventually) just makes me wanna do this even less. In a society in which racial discrimination has never happened, it would be bad. In reality, it isnt. Because minorites not getting equal standing in education is not organic, or natural. And here I am just reiterating my original point that you're looking at this with zero context and history, and looking at any social issue that way is pretty much completely meaningless. Anyways, I'm gonna skip the waste that explaining further would lead to since I dont wanna and just post this.
Shifting points in that last part there, but you arent gonna get me that easily, my point was that the biggest problem with ghostbusters was it was poorly made, not the gender change. I countered that by showing a film where the change wasnt universally panned because people liked it. I dont need to start defending points I didnt make here. And like I said, people are going to stop making a big deal about racially diverse media once we are in that idealistic post-discrimination society.
