#daterasure

Hahaha, hi!

If you wanted someone to tell you that "yes, you are way too butthurt call the waaaahmbulance" then you totes came to the wrong place. 

(Though personally, I usually don't unfollow instantly, if I've got the spoons to explain just why what they're doing is sucky, trivializing, dismissive, erasing, etc. Most days I have the patience/willpower to be an explainer. But some days I'm not, and it's nope!unfollow city. YMMV. If unfollowing them keeps your blood pressure from spiking, go for it, imo~)

As forrr links:My favorite is Moff's law. It's actually linked on my blog already.

Moff's Law

The entirety of Racebending.com is a pretty good resource too. (Both the tumblr account and the official website.)

Cracked.com is getting better at this, too. 

STFUConfederates made a good post.

I just like this one.

NEGL, when I'm *totally fucking over you* I rely on the Glossario. "The Oversensitive" sounds like what you need.

Derailing for Dummies is always fun.

I've also got the tags: #whitewashing, #daterasure, #datmarginalizing, and #this is why my media company needs to exist that might help! That last one is mostly a tag meant for my own archival & inspiration purposes, so if you're going to go tag diving, try out the other ones first, lol.

OF COURSE NOT.

Yep. It's just as bad as we thought.

Kristen Stewart as Ky

Garret Hedlund as Kaneda

Helena Bonham-Carter as Lady Miyako

Ken Watanabe as The Colonel

Kaneda is a bar owner in Neo-Manhattan who is stunned when his brother, Tetsuo, is abducted by government agents led by The Colonel.

Desperate to get his brother back, Kaneda agrees to join with Ky Reed and her underground movement who are intent on revealing to the world what truly happened to New York City thirty years ago when it was destroyed. Kaneda believes their theories to be ludicrous but after finding his brother again, is shocked when he displays telekinetic powers.

By way of Racebending.com:

FilmDistrict has announced that it has acquired all U.S. rights to "Arabian Nights" from Inferno Entertainment. Chuck Russell ("The Mask," "The Scorpion King") is set to direct the 3D fantasy epic from his own script, co-written with Barry Ambrose. Liam Hemsworth, who will also star in "The Hunger Games," will star with Dwayne Johnson ("Fast Five") and Anthony Hopkins, currently co-starring with Hemsworth's older brother Chris in "Thor." According to the official synopsis: "Arabian Nights" is a visually stunning 3-D retelling of the classic adventure tale about a bold, young commander (Hemsworth) who joins forces with Sinbad, Aladdin and his Genie to rescue Scheherazade and save her Kingdom from the dark powers of an immortal Sorcerer. The film weaves together several beloved tales and characters into a wild magic carpet ride for all ages. "'Arabian Nights' is a fun family adventure in the tradition of the classic Ray Harryhausen movies,” says Bob Berney, President, Theatrical Distribution, FilmDistrict, in a press release distributed by FilmDistrict. “His mash-up of characters and legends into one story is a very cool concept.” A release date has not been announced.

Sauce.

I'll just be over here giving the #sideeye to the plot shoehorning in the unnecessary (or rather mainstream!mandatory?) White guy. And I don't quite remember Scheherazade needing any rescuing...
