Dear Oh Deer

Happy Valentine’s Day

I run, so lost in this maze

Dreams, Hopes, Forward, Forward

Like chasing butterfly or wondering in dreams

Sailor chibi moon x Helios

Mighty Atom

Lolita Shoes

This is the Ghost in the Shell we need.

I don’t dislike ScarJo

I dislike the white washing

I dislike the message saying: Japanese material is good enough but not a Japanese face

I dislike that Hollywood continues to say there aren’t enough Asian actresses, there are. They just won’t cast them in main roles.

I dislike that people are saying Motoko Kusanagi is not human so she can be any race, wrong. Kusanagi is made of mass produced parts so she doesn’t stand out, she also lives in a fictional Japanese city, you know what doesn’t stand out in a Japanese city? Someone who looks Japanese.

You know who does stand out? Someone who doesn’t look Japanese. Yes it’s a fictional city but it’s a Fictional city in Future Japan, a country where less than. 3% percent of their population is not Japanese (as in they can be any race, including other Asians who aren’t Japanese).

I dislike that there are so people coming out to defend this casting choice as if race doesn’t matter, or as if Caucasian actors are some how being unfairly treated by this… Are you kidding me?! white actors are not in danger of losing roles… If anything Asian actresses can’t even get a role where the protagonist is supposed to look Japanese…

How many Caucasians do you know named Motoko or have a surname remotely close to Kusanagi?!

I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

I love Ghost in the Shell. I love how it is most certainly a story resembling a part of Japanese culture and society and has commentary on very Japanese values.

I am just very disappointed by the continual Hollywood bullshit answers.
