“ Some say AVATAR has “no pop cultural footprint.” But that criticism plays into the hands of IP overlords who have stuffed us full of second- and third-rate Star Wars and Marvel and DC offerings. Rewatching AVATAR, one realizes just how special it is. “

It’s really starting to bug me that people also seem to forget whitewashing includes erasing certain features on POC. 

people on a bundle site: Why don’t we see game bundles anymore?? Bundle site: posts a game bundle: Ppl on the site: Ugh these games are crap!!! Why is this site so shitty???  Ppl, 5 seconds later: When will we get another game bundle?? Bundle site, months later: posts another game bundle Ppl, inevitably: Ugh these are such crap why do they bother??? ppl, 5 seconds later: But why don’t we get game bundles anymore??? Rinse and repeat. 

Totally fucking random (unless you know I picked up some new books about the topic) but while I understand what people mean about Female!Sherlock being a need, I also feel like people don’t seem to get that having Lucy Liu as a female!Watson is STILL amazing in its own right. I’d even argue that there’s more prestige in having a female “ex-doctor” professional who also is an Asian woman and has her skill in-universe to be almost equal to Holmes himself and recognized as such to boot. Would I welcome a female Holmes too? yes. But it bothers me how people overlook just how much of an achievement it is for there to be an Asian female!Watson. I’m not saying to be content with it. I’m saying recognize it as the achievement it was and still is. 

white actor: criticizes a movie they were in Fandom: you know what that’s fair I guess. sure they have a point actor of color: does the exact same as White Actor abt the same fucking movie. Fandom: 

if you ‘can’t relate’ to a movie because the protag isn’t white I really dunno what to say.
