I guess you didn't read they aren't hiring a black person, they are hiring anyone that isn't white, so they don't even have her in tune with the rest of the cast unless you want to think that only after they choose the actress they are going to choose the ethnicity of the rest of the country and start doing auditions.

And you making her adopted instead of descendant is one of the things that break the lore, but you play it as inconsequential and not accepting must be hatred and vitriol. You say it all but don't accept that you are name calling whoever who disagree with you.

Again, I never called anyone names. Nor did I say anyone who doesn't agree with my stance of breaking the lore "must be hatred and vitriol" as you put it. You really should read what you are responding to.

If you didn't understand what I wrote, I will break it down for you.

I conceded that the potential breaking of story lore (again, we don't really know what is the reason, so this is all speculation) would ruffle some feathers. I even said I had no problem with that. EXHIBIT A: the first bolded text from my quote.

I followed the thing I do have a problem with. EXHIBIT B: the very sentence following that first bolded text.

The hatred and vitriol and the outrage I am speaking of is the use of fiery language, politicizing the discussion, and even your habit of hurling false accusations at those who don't agree with you.

I am saying it's hard to see that kind of reaction all over a fictional character's change of race. That statement doesn't equate to me saying everyone who has a problem with the work changing the lore is full of hate. If you are reading that in anything I read, you need to reread my posts.

Geez louise.

Except the people using inflamatory and making it political is in the side you are more aligning with.

But if you accept that the antagonism to the change isn't necessarily from hatred or racism, that they will have to make it makes sense to the risk of damaging the decision then we are fine.

Yes, he bases the entire work on myth of medieval white europe, besides describing the girl as white and the people of the countries, etc. There have been some posts over it.

So there white. The book creator said this 

Yep. And to change to non-white (while not even saying what they are looking for, the BAME they used is basically anyone not white) without any explanation and with the risk of breaking the lore is what is being complained.

I think at this point it's very clear that people who are upset with this casting news just can't be reasoned with no matter how much history is brought up or how much of a precedent has been set or how many variations of the final product could still fit.

Some people are very racially sensitive about stuff like this and some people will do anything to find something to be outraged about.

I think I'm done trying to explain how this isn't a big deal. I've been wasting my time for days and I have shit to do. Y'all enjoy being hateful and spiteful and willfully ignorant in your sad, grumpy echo chambers while convincing yourself that diversity is bad. You're bad people, I want nothing to do with you, and this thread is a testament to the lengths people will go to justify their hatred.

Peace out.

Sorry but when you aren't willing to open and accept you have 0 ground on calling anyone wrong, closed or anything and you showed that the first post you made.
