@qw90700: "your reaction about this situation shows you are emotionally involved"
Not really... but it is an interesting debate. And my understanding of the situation puts me on Disney side...
"shows it became personal to you"
Again... Not really... The only thing I take personally is ME3... That's a different kind of an insult...
"then you can't see so many shades of grey in reality and you only focus on black and whites."
Undoubtedly... I am what you can say, a person who sees 98% of things as black and white... only 2% are grey situations... What you are probably doing is mixing black with grey decisions... Dont worry, thats what most people do. On my part, I will never justify a black decision only becomes it gets some beneficts...
"you overestimate companies so much you think they did the right choice for themselves as if they are god so they can always absolutely make the right decision."
No... I already agreed with you that they did a crappy job with the latest Star Wars trilogy... So clearly they make mistakes... A lot of mistakes to be precise... I just think that this decision is not a mistake...
"so far disney really triggered a hate camping to disney by the fans of her, supporter of freedom, sjws, trolls, etc. lol"
But that's also ok... Every action has a reaction...
"but disney did their thing anyway. I respect their decision. I'm not glad for it as you are"
Actually I never said I was glad... at best I said I was disappointed with Gina and that I agree with Disney decision... It may sound the same but is not the same thing you are implying. There is nothing to be happy about this situation... I will never be happy for people losing their jobs... (except for Casey Hudson and Supermac - Yes, I´m human...)
"it seems you just want them to respect your own definition of which races are okay for portraying which characters"
No... I would see the movie nevertheless, and if it is good, perfect. But I like to see respect for the source material. I´am not a professional writer, but I wrote some stuff, and I would not like to see changes in the characters I created. In this case you can say its a matter of tastes and respect...
"also it's okay when it's "what if" situation as in the narrative takes place in a parallel universe where the character has a different race."
That is different situation... that's why I like Spider Man Miles Morales. If there is a logical explanation for the change everything changes in my perspective....
"LOL yes thus I learned a new word "impasse""
Sorry... It is not an English word? I thought it was... LOL
"ok. but what about "Black History Month" celebration"
On this matter I'm sorry but I don't know that much about US celebration days... Here in Portugal we dont have that kind of celebration... So I have no knowledge to enter that kind of discussion...
"but serious SJWs were kinda"
That's the thing... I'm pretty sure there is a very different kind of SJWs. Some more radical and some more calm... Like everything in life... Regarding the "fat kid" analogy, I believe that he should be warned about the dangerous situation he may be in it, but that would not excuse any kind of bad behavior or descrimination towards him... So, as you can see, you can always have the middle ground...
"it was better around 2005s and got worst due to SJW wave that started around 2010s"
Like I said, and tastes aside, nowadays you have a ton of content. Your tastes are probably covered, so you are not discriminated in any way... Sure, there may be things you liked that are not what you want anymore, but if you look you will find something else. And that´s good in my opinion.
@immanuel79: Why do you think that her stupid statements only have effects in the US? You people should stop looking down into your own bellies... there is a way larger world out there...
@michaeldark: "And the worst part is, no other member of the cast and crew dared to stand up and defend her. Because apparently terrorizing your emploees is allowed if the victim is not on the left side."
Maybe, just maybe... they don't agree with the stupid things she was saying...
@qw90700: "because it depends on the situation and not every action is right for every situation of course"
On that I can agree... Perspective and context is everything...
"if you know her personally it's okay"
I don't need to know her to define how I feel about her ideas... or how I see her because of that...
"so you were so disappointed with her you wanted revenge?"
Revenge? Why? Because I understand Disney position to want to part ways with her? You are being naive at best...
"this behavior is no different than a husband kills his wife because his wife was sluty to other men to save his personal/family honor -- it's basically the same shit"
Sorry but that comparison is so over the top that I will not bother to reply to it. At best is two companions who disagree with the vision of the world and every one of them goes into different paths.
"the thing is what you seeing is just the tip of the iceberg..."
So... You take the logical approach from a business point of view to justify their position, but then you say that their vision do not embraces all sides of the equation. Well, that is not really a surprise when both sides are almost opposities. At some point you need to choose what your values are. Obviously, they (as a corporate entity) will always choose the side that gives more revenue. And if in the US you may have a debate, in the rest of the world is an easy KO...
"what's wrong with that? not that I accuse you as racist or I care about race stuff"
Don't worry, accusations are an easy thing to do, what matters is if I would worry about the label, which I dont. LOL... I told you previously that I like the respect for the source material. That alone is explanation enough...
"perhaps you are right but perhaps you are wrong"
Perfect definition of an impasse... LOL
"I heard that debate was so toxic"
You have no idea...LOL
""black life matters" motto is kinda racist because its especially stated black life matters as if other races' life doesn't matter lol"
I think is a matter of perspective... You see a gain above other races, I see the quest for equality with other races. When I see BLM I see people worry because they are treated differently. So in your opinion, they are treated the same way but want more? I truly disagree...
"My point is SJWs can be ironic..."
While I do agree... it goes both ways...
"SJW is actually meant to state the extreme kindergarten level on acceptance and portraying of diverse characters."
Why kindergarten? I dont understand the reference. Why the respect for diversity must be a debate? This really baffles me, maybe because I´m a person who am not offended with other people happiness...
"killed the entertainment"
I'm pretty sure the entertainment was never better than nowadays... You have everything for everyone... All people need to do is search...
