#rocket-sith

I have unlocked a new SW trash achievement. All these blogs are here because of SW and/or Obikin.

Not only is this hilarious, it also solidifies the idea beyond a shadow of a doubt that Force Ghost Anakin spends a ridic amount of time lazily sprawled out, resting his head in Obi-Wan’s lap, cracking wise while Obi-Wan pets his hair.

There are a lot of stereotypes, racism, and orientalism in the series already but I don't see white people complaining about all that. All white people are complaining about is that it's "not whitewashing," when it actually is. So it's not racism or stereotypes white people care about but actually are perpetuating said racism by not wanting a lead just because he's Asian.

Okay the sentiment was definitely phrased horribly, but if the character is white to begin with, how is it whitewashing? Are we supposed to make him Asian just because he knows martial arts? Because that sounds like a pretty good way to promote ridiculous stereotypes. (I haven't seen the show so can't speak to the quality or lack thereof, but "let's turn the white dude into an Asian dude because karate" sounds like an invitation for a whole new set of problems.)

Oh, you’re totally right. I actually don’t know Iron Fist AT ALL before I saw this. I figured the character was originally Asian because of the original post’s implication! That’s a whole different can of worms, and I 100% agree that the idea of making a character Asian because only Asian people do martial arts or all Asian people do martial arts is definitely not an improvement.

I will say, I think that the problem primarily comes from the sentiments he shared which were DEFINITELY racist. I also think that there’s a difference between him being a white guy from a white culture with a ton of privilege doing something that could be seen as culturally appropriative and someone from another “minority” group doing it. 

lmao that blog. I am torn between finding it hilarious because it’s just so over the top absurd, and finding it infuriating because it’s posting fake as hell BS to try and guilt/scare people away from enjoying stories about imaginary gay space wizards.

ikr? i can’t believe that’s someone’s hobby. they sit down and devote their free time to doing that.
