@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons 😪bruh wth are you on about look aight man you got it clearly you’re not getting what I’m putting down. Bros talking about communism now. What are we even doing.

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons This isn't "everyone gets an opportunity." This is "these roles are reserved for POCs." White people no longer even get a shot at these roles.

Avatar: Aang, Le Dernier Maitre de l'Air, le prochain film de la franchise qui sortira sur Paramount+ en Octobre, est actuellement en train de fuiter. 2 extraits viennent d'être publiés, dont une avec les versions adultes de Zuko et Katara tirés de La Légende de Korra.

@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons You call it BS I call it equality

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons The word games reminds me of how people would say you couldn't be racist to white people because "power+prejudice." Like stfu with that shit.

@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons This is not discrimination or racism though. It’s literally inclusion lol

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons More importantly, two wrongs don't make a right. Just because some actors were previously discriminated in the past, it doesn't justify discrimination the other way to equalize it. That's a toxic mindset that will never end racism or discrimination, but in fact perpetuates it.

@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons The og comment was calling it diversity hires. Thats wtf I’m talking about main reason I’m here. It sounds dismissive and wrong

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Wtf are you talking about? All the actors voicing the main cast have had many roles before this. Heck, the one for Toph has had a long VA career before any of this "ethnicity needs to match" movement in the first place.

@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Ya know a lot of these people have never been able to have the opportunity to even act in these type of roles? Racism, ableism, discrimination never allowed for this to even be considered. Also you can criticize I just don’t like this diversity hire none sense

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons It only seems a lot to read because tweets have trained people to read only small amounts of characters but it should only take you like 30 seconds. I'm not saying a murder happened but it's clear their physical characteristics got unfairly prioritized and that's wrong.

@TypicalMangaFan @superfighter64 @SupremaToons I ain’t gonna lie this is a lot to read chief also your statement here is clearly a false dichotomy lol. Look man other people exist ain’t nobody life getting negatively effected by toph va being blind. They are actors not a diversity hire yall make it sound so bad like it’s a sl

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons And I think it's a travesty they didn't cast a third degree burn victim to play Zuko.

@TypicalMangaFan @teabytheriver @superfighter64 @SupremaToons I don’t get the issue here though. These characters are a reflection of real ethnicities and such in real life. You get actors who are close to that to enrich the story and culture. That reducing them to a diversity hire reduces these people to nothing more than just fodder

@Mango_Maki @teabytheriver @superfighter64 @SupremaToons The term "diversity hires" never meant the people were randomly picked off the street. They always included pros, but it's to say that they got unfair prioritization due to their race.

@teabytheriver @superfighter64 @SupremaToons There are more than one reason for that. Your statement feels like a stretch and isn’t substantiated by any evidence or acts like that in the past for movies or remakes.

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons I get that, but who was primarily affected by this if not the original cast members who were let go for being white?

@HazelyGod47 @GregorHunt3 @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Varies but it’s like how Timothy chalomet altered his own vision to get into character for Marty supreme. Literally trying to get into character.

@Mango_Maki @GregorHunt3 @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Do you know what an actor “getting into character” even means?

@teabytheriver @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Orrrr black or italian or any other pre-requisite besides who toph the character is. You should like you want to be a victim. The movie is in no way negatively effected by this

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons Hired with the pre-requisite of not being white…

@GregorHunt3 @superfighter64 @SupremaToons I don’t see the issue with this?Toph is visually impaired so why not? We talk about actors trying to “get into character” we’re at a point where we can have actors who are also visually impaired to do it themselves she doesn’t even sound bad

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons It isn't even a matter of skin. They got someone visually impaired to voice toph.

@teabytheriver @superfighter64 @SupremaToons You say by every metric but that’s not how metrics work. Also again even though I’m not a fan of the voice actors either these people are what they chose for the movie. They are not diversity hired. They are actors.

@Mango_Maki @superfighter64 @SupremaToons They should’ve kept the original voice cast that people knew and loved — instead they fired them for the crime of being white. So yes, whoever they employ after the fact is by every metric a “diversity hire”.

@superfighter64 @SupremaToons And?

@Mango_Maki @SupremaToons They cast a blind woman for Toph.

@superfighter64 @SupremaToons Each character had an ethnicity set to audition for them respectively. They chose the best from that bunch. Your statement invalidates them all reducing them and their efforts.

@Mango_Maki @SupremaToons They were literally hired to match their characters ethnicity. The voice director admitted it.

@superfighter64 @SupremaToons I don’t like these voice actors either but diversity hires is a bit much

@SupremaToons It’s genuinely so fucking painful to hear the new cast. Especially when you know they were all just diversity hires because the director wanted them to match their ethnicity. Not gonna watch this when it hits theaters. Not unless they redub it.

@lulupuffiana @alovetrilogy Why was this even a movement “disco sucks” sounds so targeted

@alovetrilogy Disco demolition night was anti-black and queerphobic. A bunch of honkies were upset that disco was a set of attention and rock wasn’t.

it’s unfortunate that she became a victim of the disco sucks movement and never had a hit afterwards. her debut album is amazing and her voice is so radiant and unique

More proof that anime doesn’t have to depict Black peoples as caricatures unless they truly WANT to
