/u/TriangleSunflowers doesn't even seem like xhe's Asian xherself and is being offended on behalf of Asians and telling them they they shouldn't appreciate an Asian character in a major film lmao. Kill yourself
'can we please not' gets me all riled up and angry and then they immediately follow it with a lot of lame millennial buzzwords that are even more nauseating like 'tone police'
Person A: You wanna know why western characters are usually white? Because they can be anything-
Person B: Oh?! You mean because white people can do anything they want becaue privledge!
Person A: No. A White character can be autistic, gay, good, evil etc. and no one will complain.
I hate that autism is now something which needs representation. We ran out of things to virtue signal about so we decided autists are now a demographic that needs to be catered to
Can we please not tell marginalized groups that they're wrong to be happy with representation?
On the other hand can we not tone police other marginalized groups who are upset that their representation is continually framed in stereotypes and ethnic tropes?
How do these people function. Policing to the point nobody can say anything.
Docile asian women. She even fails at putting Ego to sleep and the film seems to think that by the end they've empowered her when it's just a horribly cliche trope of a character.
/u/TriangleSunflowers...did you even watch the same movie I did? I'm assuming you're talking about the climax (heh) of the movie when Ego is enraged/fighting for his survival and she did put him to sleep until the tendril she was touching was burnt and she lost her connection to him.
I thought it was a giant rock that knocked her off the vein, but either way /u/TriangleSunflowers is literally making up stuff in order to dislike the movie.
And what will the bug aliens think when they come to earth and see all our media has stereotyped them as docile and infantilized? Hmm? They probably won't like that.
Did you guys see the Hapas thread on this? They seemed, I think, happy about this? Because the actor that plays Drax is a hapa and he was abusing an asian woman instead of the other way around.
Wait, Drax is autistic? Is that based on that one tiny moment in the first film where he took a joke seriously? Does that mean we werent suppose to laugh at that, and laughing at it is offensive foward autists?
ok

All Asian women are monsters and should be represented as undying litch people who exhaust nothing but Marlboro smoke and racism, imo.

/u/TriangleSunflowers are you azn or just getting offended about inane bullshit on behalf of azns?
n/a Homer00025 2017-05-16
Ironically enough, dude whining for azns versus autists is the biggest autist.

So we should only represent one marginalized group at the same time, got it.
n/a chwed2 2017-05-16
Theres is anecdote that goes something like:
Person A: You wanna know why western characters are usually white? Because they can be anything-
Person B: Oh?! You mean because white people can do anything they want becaue privledge!
Person A: No. A White character can be autistic, gay, good, evil etc. and no one will complain.

Mantis isn't supposed to be asian, nor is she even played by an asian. Wtf?
n/a charlie2158 2017-05-16
The actress is half Korean apparently.
n/a lifesbrink 2017-05-16
Damn, she doesn't at all look like it then. Looks like she has "passing white privilege "

yeah she got knocked the fuck out by a falling rock

She got knocked out by The Rock? Wtf I love misogyny now!
n/a CC3940A61E 2017-05-16
it was such a surprise cameo, too. not mentioned once in the press.
n/a Christafix 2017-05-16
Mantis isn't asian though, she's a fucking bug alien. She's played by an Asian actress but that's it
n/a bjt23 2017-05-16

n/a Gothmog26 2017-05-16
They'll like it even less when we start gassing them.

Did you guys see the Hapas thread on this? They seemed, I think, happy about this? Because the actor that plays Drax is a hapa and he was abusing an asian woman instead of the other way around.
n/a Michaelphelpsisquick 2017-05-16
Every character has autism so I can relate to them
n/a chwed2 2017-05-16
