This is a nice post and all, but I'm guessing that the only reason anyone is even arguing about this because these people believe 3D is superior to 2D.
How would you cast that though? I am thinking, average looking white guy with glasses on (thick rimmed of course), maybe a nice wool jumper, with some coldplay in the background. He could mention how he enjoys being a stay at home dad or something.
It reminds me how on one of the aspirting writer subs one of the "big whig" dudes who everyone respects has never had anything published aside from grocery store gay erotica.
Reddit's not really known for its high standards in this stuff.
For a bunch of people who you’d expect to be in the know when it comes to all the ways society lives and breathes, pretending they don’t know what “a black sounding name” is seems contrived.
I’d venture to say pretending that there’s no such concept as cultural sounding name in the movies is pretty ignorant and borderline racist.
Why are people so mad at him tho? If inventing a black coauthor would in fact take some heat off him, who is to blame for that? All y'all made this bed yourselves, now sleep in it.
It's a really bad idea, though. Combing through his post history, the guy seems pretty dim, I doubt he'd be able to keep his story straight. And given that his friends are the sort of people who say "Whitesplaining" unironically, I don't think they'll take too kindly to this revelation.
Screenwriters write films all the time about shit they haven't personally experienced. If they didn't then all films would be about dorky guys with masters degrees in Creative Writing. But most screenwriters don't use a nom de plume (you liked that huh) unlike novelists who do it all the time.
oldest trick in the book. You think the jane austen guy would have been able to publish his devastating critique of women's predatory marrying habits if he'd gone by his real name?
lol at anyone who doesn't know the only script accepted in hollywood are those manufactured by the carefully curated writer's guild a-team. I think the days I've some random dude shopping around his script are long since over.
I love all the people who get their panties wedged up their arses at the idea certain names have racial connotations. You hear someone is called Nguyen, you aren't picturing a white guy. You hear someone is called Matembe, still not a white dude. José is similarly not white, and neither is Mohammed. If he picked names like DeShawn or Shanice, nobody is going to think that's a white person.
Of course, at least one person is now going to remember seeing this thread and ask them to produce this mystery black, but if he'd kept his mouth shut it may well have worked.

I love all the people who get their panties wedged up their arses at the idea certain names have racial connotations. You hear someone is called Nguyen, you aren't picturing a white guy. You hear someone is called Matembe, still not a white dude. José is similarly not white, and neither is Mohammed. If he picked names like DeShawn or Shanice, nobody is going to think that's a white person.
Of course, at least one person is now going to remember seeing this thread and ask them to produce this mystery black, but if he'd kept his mouth shut it may well have worked.
