i know, i know, getting mad at reddit for being racist is like getting mad at rain for being wet. but....... jesus fucking christ. and they fucking LOOOVE this shit. little fucking hogs clapping their sticky little hands. and it looks so fucking trash.
One fuxking poster out of the dozens they made for the film has stayed rent free in the minds of all the conservative shit heads who are just going to remain proudly crowing that “China are the real racists!” until the end of time despite the central conceit being easily disproven with a single google search.
It’s shit like this which is pushing me to agree with that redsails article called Elites, Masses and Rebels (or at least in regards to the “middle class” and petit bourgeois)
According to Wikipedia:
That alternate poster being blamed on China is extremely frustrating myth, because you can literally find both Chinese versions of the other posters and other-language posters of the one that minimized Boyega with a simple google search.
I'm also pretty sure China didn't edit out the scene of the two women kissing that everyone just preemptively assumed would get edited out by them. Saudi Arabia did, though.
The funniest thing is that alternative poster for black panther was only used in Hong Kong but saying that Hong Kong is full of racists doesn’t fit “muh evil CCP” narrative as well
Honestly I thought LGBT scenes being removed has more to do with conservative audiences than governments, cuz a lot of people here in Indonesia complain about LGBT characters in Disney movies simply existing (not even a kiss scene).
white libs blame the inferior backwards nonwhite savages for all the bigotry in white western media, since whites are the superior progressive aryans and western media is certainly not primarily aimed at a core audience of westerners
They really do want to believe
