    Vice? yeah, I'm just going to assume this is some western chauvinist slander. This seems to me as an attempt to stop ridiculously aesthetically sanitized ahistorical portrayals of historical events. This has also bothered me about lots of media.

    Why must everyone be fucking beautiful and perfectly manicured unless they're portrayed as the inhuman villain? Why is the team of the world's greatest scientists in your film also a group of the most attractive people in history? Is it really a great idea to have all plain looking, ugly, overweight, disfigured, and/or disabled people who are otherwise talented actors basically unemployable in media? Why should only beautiful people be cast in ostensibly realistic depictions?

    I'm asking for the volcel vanguard to diversify casting so that the entire film industry isn't dependent on a de facto horny arms race.

      This is about making teenage girls worship soldiers and "manly men" instead of pretty boy K-pop stars. It's part of a broader conservative push aimed at the youth which I suspect is largely in order to prevent a collapse in birth rates (and help shore up the PLA).
