Rumor is that in the original manga she takes a body based off a "westerner" anyways.

Not only was it a dumb thing to get hung up on to start with, it may have been accurate to the original source.

not anime but have any of u guys seen Altered Carbon?? i saw it and then readd it got alot of shit from its depiction of violence against women.... like YO ITS A SCI FI DYSTOPIAN SHOW LIKW WHAT DO U EXPECT

2018-07-17 00:45:12 UTC  

👌🏻

2018-07-17 00:45:19 UTC  

Which would have made it go from banal to simply incorrect.

2018-07-17 00:45:20 UTC  

and its not like men dont get fuckin killed in it lol

2018-07-17 00:45:45 UTC  

Yeah, the whole point of GiTS is human versus machine anyway.

2018-07-17 00:46:28 UTC  

@Revan I don't want to spoil it, but there is a good reason why she is not asian in the movie. That is kinda the plot point.

2018-07-17 00:46:33 UTC  

People looking for excuses to get angry.

2018-07-17 00:46:58 UTC  

@Uksio I understand that

2018-07-17 00:47:02 UTC  

if the movie failed at anything it's emulating the tone of the series, but that's kinda to be expected

2018-07-17 00:47:06 UTC  

lol man professional victims haha

2018-07-17 00:47:11 UTC  

GitS is not even men vs machines. It runs deeper than that

2018-07-17 00:47:14 UTC  

hollywood doesn't really know how to do anything that isn't an action movie

2018-07-17 00:47:17 UTC  

I'm just saying that depending on the situation, it could be more helpful to blend in by looking like a local

2018-07-17 00:47:38 UTC  

Increasingly, Hollywood can't even do that.

2018-07-17 00:47:49 UTC  

And when they do they get criticized for making it.

2018-07-17 00:47:50 UTC  

What it means to be human, what it means to be a living being, and how much are you a living being if you are in a body of a machine

2018-07-17 00:48:00 UTC  

Transhumanism 101

2018-07-17 00:48:05 UTC  

Hollywood needs to be rebuilt, IMO.

2018-07-17 00:48:15 UTC  

my buddy is in Education at the Uni reight beside where i live (extremely left) and the head of the english department calls them Social Slackers LOL and its like 90% social justice warriors

2018-07-17 00:48:26 UTC

2018-07-17 00:48:28 UTC  

Make Hollywood Great Again!

2018-07-17 00:49:09 UTC  

social justice warriors/professional victims and the like

2018-07-17 00:49:35 UTC  

Makes sense.

2018-07-17 00:50:47 UTC  

Honestly, I just think those are people that have nothing even vaguely controversial and/or adverse in their pampered lives. So they start to just actively seek a cause to rally behind (sorta like larping a revolutionary) or hate something that is permitted to hate - fascists, white males, alleged oppression of someone etc.

2018-07-17 00:51:16 UTC  

It is an outrage machine spawned out of boredom of safe and secure life

2018-07-17 00:51:17 UTC  

That's very much what it is.

2018-07-17 00:51:37 UTC  

I remember as a kid in school we were basically raised to idolize the yuppies and hippies of the 60s liberation movements.

2018-07-17 00:52:04 UTC  

So now the young want to make their liberation movement and are instead punching at phantoms.

2018-07-17 00:52:17 UTC  

YEAH for real like i live in freakin canada as if any of the people there have anything to complain about patriarchy

2018-07-17 00:52:32 UTC  

like my buddy has a freaking social justice CLASS

2018-07-17 00:52:39 UTC  

i repeat AN ACTUAL CLASS

2018-07-17 00:52:43 UTC  

Oh man. That's bad. Which uni?

2018-07-17 00:52:52 UTC  

Bishops University

2018-07-17 00:53:12 UTC  

The one nearest me requires all students in the arts and sciences to take a class in race, gender or oppression. And it's an ivy (not Brown)

2018-07-17 00:53:14 UTC

2018-07-17 00:53:46 UTC  

tho lol ive triggered the hell out of a few of the education students when ive said im a big fan of WW2 docs haha

2018-07-17 00:54:19 UTC  

What? I know the new graduates these days are ignorant of history, but opposed to WWII docs? I don't buy it.

2018-07-17 00:54:26 UTC  

We have "woman parking lots" here in Germany

2018-07-17 00:54:43 UTC  

They have pink dividing lines and the parking lots are wider than usual
