I also didn't post anything of hate for the movie, just still didn't got around to go and watch (it is always on my maybe list, as was deathnote and I'm 2/3 in and finding it to be shit). But I do agree with you that it may be a case of a lot of good things that when mixed turns terrible. I didn't see her replies, but if she stood her ground without attacking back and accusing fans of any "ism" then she deserves respect.

My probably with Deathnote was not the casting, it was how light was portrayed.  Needless to say since you did not finish it, I will say only at the end does he come close to how the character is portrayed in the anime.  Bleach on the other hand is actually pretty good.  

Yes I didn't bother with the race of the chars since they changed locations anyway (although the reasoning for the name Kira was ridiculous). The thing is trash after trash and he is so dumb that it's unbelievable... I'll try to finish anyway.

And about the discussion Machiavellian, if you read all the replies you'll see that the complains doesn't have to do with book saying she is white and the show making her non-white, it have to do with the heritage and royalty being core to the story.
