And if she were white they'd be complaining over the fact that she doesn't have massive tits and a waist that food couldn't pass through

They fucking suck and honestly if I could, I'd stab their fingers with bamboo skewers so they could never type again

the one piece live action is the only live action anime I have ever seen that has been any good

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I actually liked the Cowboy Bebop live action.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Was it you who liked it, or was it the worm?

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Even the blackmail scene?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I liked Rorouni Kenshin. Obviously don't pay for that one...

just realized we should have an edit of this where it's like "NOT WOKE/WOKE"

They casted an indian descent actress as vivi so expect more chud rage for season 2

[–] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

I always thought her kingdom was very clearly Egyptian-inspired so they probably shouldn't have expected them to be white

Based and grandlinepilled

Fucking amazing how many people fly into a frothing rage at the sight of dark skin.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

They're enraged about "tokenism" and declare inclusion is meaningless but beneath that they're enraged that they feel less included.

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One wonders if they think inclusion is meaningless why it pisses them off so much.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

It's usually the same people that claim "nothing offends them" but get really fucking mad if people aren't laughing at their tiresome edgy jokes.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The tokenism claim is crazy like it's not a really diverse cast of actors representing people he meets while traveling alllllll around the world. Like his in universe purpose of pursuing freedom and achieving his dream necessarily requires that he meets and develops relationships with a diverse cast of people.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

If any anime series should have a diverse cast of characters that I can think of, it's one that's about travel, exploration, and a multitude of people joining an ever-larger crew. luffy-pog

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oda also approved the 4kids voice of Sanji. But this casting shouldn’t be a problem. She’s Nami’s adopted sister. She can be whatever race they want.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Being more concerned about the racial make up of Oykot Kingdom (Tokyo spelled backwards) than the author was in 1999 when the manga chapter came out, 2018 when the explanation for where they were came out, or in 2023 when he helped cast the actress. It's like if you were playing DnD and you not only asked what the bartender's name is but then you start getting upset when it sounds too made up.

Ummm actually it's PEAK fiction smuglord

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

My favorite part of the story where the boy travels around the entire world meeting a bunch of other world travelers is when nobody travels and is instead silo'd into their little kingdoms just like the most prominent antagonist, the world government, likes it.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ITS A FUCKING FANTASY SHOW BASED ON A CARTOON BASED ON A COMIC BOOK SHUT THE FUCK UP AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

THEY MADE WHITEBEARD'S BEARD OFF-WHITE INSTEAD OF EGGSHELL THIS IS TRASH - chuds probably

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

WHITEBEARD ISN'T PLAYED BY A 28 FT TALL WHITE MAN, LITERALLY UNWATCHABLE

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Twitter was always a shithole. Now even more so

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

They know exactly how to act just like all Jim crow racists have know to act since before slavery was ended
