8 years ago pasty white Brit Christian Bale played Moses, an Egyptian Jew, in a $100m+ budget worldwide film release.

Carr4MVP: *crickets*

A black kid plays Kristoff in a play at Disney World in Orlando.

Carr4MVP: wOkE pAnDeRiNg, this is literally the worst thing ever!

Yeah, I agree with him on all the woke shit being out of control, but that is one strange example of trying to make a point about it.

How "woke" is this thing going to be?

Welp, the very thought of Hollywood going full Hollywood and potentially injecting an overload of SJW bullshit into this story is going to ensure not only the fans tune in, but random internet warriors on both sides of the subject ready to flame away at the unwashed heathens on the other side. I'd say they're getting exactly what they wanted here.

Or…and hear me out….they picked the actors that they thought best fit the parts.

Shocking….I know.

Elves? The most effeminate race there is in middle earth?

Or are we talking about dwarves where the females are just as masculine as the males?

Yes.

And Dwarves that identify as elves. Or Ents that identify as Hobbits.

I wasn't on the board eight years ago, dipstick. So you would have no idea what I did or didn't say.

I didn't even know that movie existed until now.

That being said, idiotic casting.

My apologies for wanting to keep characters consistent. Kristoff is white. I don't want to see a white Tiana either. But I would bet $100 dollars if Disney had a white Tiana, the SJWs would burn down the park. Double standards.

And LOL at getting butthurt over seeing a black guy play Kristoff in a play at Disney World.



This is just a case of you seeing what you want to see and ignoring what you don't to fit the narrative.

Whitewashing in film has been a thing for-****ing-ever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...o-wasnt-white/

They've been casting white people in roles of fictional and even real-life minorities for the last 100 years.

Of course, it has happened. It was wrong then.

Let's not compound errors with errors.

Common sense, really. But you and your groupies want double standards and revenge.

Doesn't matter. You literally just said this:

Then I linked these examples in which it cuts EVERY way:

LMAO Bruv, I don't give a shit about revenge. That's dumb as ****. I linked multiple examples of whitewashing within the last couple years. Contemporary movies. It is still happening now and you are blind to it.

Looking forward to this. Think it could be really awesome

I kept thinking, watching the original LOTR movies, that it was shocking to me that they never had Tilda Swinson play an elf. They are the most androgynous characters in Middle Earth.
