>Tony awards
not television or film FUCK OFF!
What are they going to do? aim with their fingers?
>>70763632
Tony Awards air on TV dipshit.
>tony awards
Literally who cares
>>70763675
they'll use live venomous snakes
>>70763675
No, that'll be too aggressive and vaguely phallic. They'll just go with open palms and make a kitten purr noise so as not to trigger the audience.
>>70763566
Good for them. Much less triggering. Proud of their understanding and progressiveness
If Thomas Jefferson is now black, does that mean he isn't a racist for having slaves anymore?
>>70763675
Will they also ban Muslims from attending the performance, lol
NOT FUCKING TELEVISION AND FILM, FUCK OFF
>>70763675
>aim with their fingers
>>70763836
He's one of the bad guys in the musical
Plenty of references to slave rape
Good. Seeing a 1700s prop pistol during a ficitonalized musical number would be too much for CBS viewers to handle after the channel's nonstop coverage of the real events all day.
>>70763968
>making the guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence and gave us the western half of our nation the bad guy
>making the guy who introduced central banking and supported the king the good guy
Bravo
>>70763566
MUHFUGGING KANGZ YO!
Thanks. Now I can watch the Tony's without being triggered.
>>70763923
Television and films are all about pushing a lefty agenda. Finally /tv/ is catching up
i don't get it
why are they black
>>70764178
Because having white people play white people would be far too triggering.
>>70764178
It's like watching dogs ride bicycles.
>>70763632
>>70763715
>>70763923
anti-art fags fuck off this art board.
>>70763923
But the Tony Awards are televised you disgusting pleb
Will they replace them with walkie talkies?
There are probably more people who will read this thread than will watch the Tony awards, who gives a fuck?
>>70763566
Looks like they should use bananas instead.
>meme musical for teenage girls to see so they can pretend to be artsy for a day
i get it, because only gay people go to musicals
wouldn't want to spook the gays
>>70763566
>muh TRIGGERED
Fuck's sake. This is like sending in a shrink to talk to kids when a classmate dies.
i'm so fucking tired of this musical and that fucking spic
>>70764178
because a bunch of black actors who were too gay to do films wanted to be employed somehow?
>>70764178
They'll say "blind casting" but they know and we know it isn't true
Oh thank God! I was so worried...
That's pathetic. Also, why are there so many blacks in a play about Alexander Hamilton?
Sage for not /tv/-related.
>>70763675
All the handguns and muskets will be replaced with White Privilege Awareness pamphlets.
>Removing guns from a play where guns are an integral plot-element because faggots might get triggered over it due to some faggots being shot somewhere else in the nation today.
>Liberals
>>70764846
>thinking it won't be this decade's 'cats'
Idk what this shit is, why are they all black?
>>70766753
The Founding Fathers were all black. This is the secret history of our people that the white man has kept hidden from us all these years...
>>70763566
I understand I guess. It's a little stupid, but if it makes people feel uncomfortable I guess there's worse things.

>>70766780
Wait, but then, why did they own slaves?
>>70763566
"waah look at us we are so culturally sensitive! please respect our professionalism and check out our race baiting plays!"
Oh lord...
>>70766923
We wuz nevah slaves
TAKE THAT, RADICAL ISLAM WHICH IN NO WAY REFLECTS A REAL PROBLEM WITH A VAST PORTION OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION
>mfw I found out how much money Broadway actors make
seems like a childish knee jerk reaction
if the play contains gun violence, then hiding the gun wont do anything except mess with the coherence of the play. if the gun violence is so bad that they really fear it will upset people then how did it get in the play in the first place?
this seems like hiding something away so it doesn't upset the children.
and I'm pretty sure no rational person is going to connect a play to a real life mass shooting. weak move for something thats getting so much credit for being bold and groundbreaking
>>70767047
>this seems like hiding something away so it doesn't upset the children.
Are you familiar with Zizek's telling of the chicken joke, as a didactic tool to understand Lacan's concept of The Big Other?
>>70767002
Any cultural belief or practice of anyone besides white Americans and some northern europeans is sacred and can never be ridiculed
>>70767047
they don't think that people will be offended shit-for-brains, it's just an act of respect to the victims
>>70764300

Idris Elba
>>70767094
how is this respectful to the victims? Its obviously just a publicity ploy. None of us had any clue the Tonys were airing soon until this story
>>70767084
You just sounded like something Zack Snyder would make Lex Luthor say to Batman
>>70767084
?
>>70767094
are people going to be reminded of the gays because the play is a musical? whats insensitive about the play that was written long before this happened?
Hopefully no one will eat a Pop-tart into the shape of a gun while at the awards
>>70764178
It's to try and get young people interested in history, it's the same reason they rap
>>70763675
theyll use walkie talkies
>>70763732
Underrated post
>>70763566
Just recently heard about this. Heard it from a chubby nerd culture gamur gurl with BPD. She highly recommended it.
Nice big red flag to never bother with it. Musicals are cringe as fuck.
The ISIS plan to thwart Hamilton's night at the Tony's is going to work if this happens.
Don't let the terrorist win you faggots!
>>70767295
I know what you mean, all my SJW friends are hyping it up, but I like everything I've heard from it.

>A man who believes he is a piece of grain and, subsequently, fears the chicken that could eat him. Eventually, the delusional man goes to therapy; where, ultimately, he becomes convinced he is not a piece of grain; however, the man still feels anxious about the chicken. Bewildered, the therapist asks, "Why are you still afraid of the chicken? You know you're not a piece of grain!" To which the man replies, "Yes, I know I'm not a piece of grain, but does the chicken know?"
Basically, Lacan's concept of The Big Other is similar to this chicken - people do things that they know make no sense, but they would make sense from a perspective of The Big Other, if it was real.
This is how various bullshit beliefs work in society, you know it's bullshit, everyone knows it's bullshit, but you still "believe" in it and believe that this will have the effect it should have.
Another example is an example where a father and son both don't believe in Santa Claus, but the father pretends because of the son, and the son pretends not to disappoint his father because he knows his father thinks he believes in Santa.
Now apply that to various real life SJW bullshit examples, and you see how you can construct an entire elaborate system of bullshit.
Zizek, however, doesn't go as far into how this is used maliciously in society, and I think it's used extremely maliciously by people who construct The Big Other for us.
>>70766753
Because watching white people rap is awkward as fuck
>>70767175
No you fucking moron, there's nothing insensitive about it. I don't doubt that the idea probably came about because there are probably a lot of homosexuals involved in the production, but there's absolutely nothing wrong modifying the play in order to pay homage to the victims of a recent tragic event. It seems to me like it just really bothers you that there's a lot of faggots in the theater business.

Do you seriously believe this?
Radicial Islam is probably the single biggest sociological threat western nations face at the moment.
>>70767533
>Radicial Islam is probably the single biggest sociological threat western nations face at the moment.
The biggest threat western nations face is their own spiritual wasteland of atheism, degeneracy, and nihilism.
>>70767047
>seems like a childish knee jerk reaction
From Liberals? NO. IMPOSSIBLE.
>>70767225
>>70767643
I agree, we should all convert to Islam to be more spiritual.
>>70767415
more reason not to do it. adults shouldn't have to pretend with each other to make everyone feel happy. it leads to over sensitivity and people playing that up to their advantage, next thing you know, microgressions isa thing
>>70767445
yup, I'm also pissed about all the black dudes in the NFL
>>70767533
hahahahahahahahaha
yes, a certain demographic of the global muslim population probably amounting to less than 50 million people overall, the vast majority of them amongst the most destitute peoples on the entire planet, blowing white peoples and each others heads off with secondhand Chinese military hardware for decades on end, are a legitimate threat to destroy Western civilization as we know it
fuck off shithead
>>70767643
I'd argue that's the #2 threat.
Islam is #1 if for no other reason that they blow shit up more often.
>>70767720
>adults shouldn't have to pretend with each other to make everyone feel happy
Yet this is what the entire society lies upon. When you buy, I don't know, an expensive car, you know that it's just a bullshit item that's more expensive than other cars mainly to signify your status in society, and you think that everyone else believes in it, even if they don't, you think they should because The Big Other believes in it, and they think they should because of the same reason... and so on.
Same thing goes for wearing a cop uniform, or having a hipster beard, or believing in the wage gap.
>>70767850
if they're not a threat why are we at war with them? And losing?
>>70767149
Why am I laughing at this
>>70767850
They just perpetrated the single deadliest shooting-spree in American history.
Before that it was Brussels. Before that it was Paris. Before that it was San Bernadino. Before that it was Charlie Hebdo.
That's like 300 people in 5 months.
Please tell me what group consitutes a greater threat to white Americans and Europeans right now than radical Islamists?
Please, I would like to know.
>>70767149
Is there anything he can't do?
>>70767850
What group poses a larger direct threat to American and European civilians right now?
Are you one of those idiots that thinks "neo-nazis" are still an actual threat in the modern world?

Looks like anti-discrimination laws have to apply to Libs too. Whodathunkit?
>>70763566
Well that'll put an end to Muslim extremists
>>70768165
Funny thing is they would rather have women playing Hamilton and Jefferson before they would have a white man. Fuckin' hell is wrong with them. Are they gonna rewrite history and say the Founding Fathers were all trans?
>>70768001
China, China, and China
The single greatest threat to global stability is the global power structure going from unipolar to multipolar, where one of those poles does not respect traditional Western values of sovereignty and rule of law, such as China. The United States's long-term relationship with China going into the late 2020s and 2030s will set the stage for events to come for the rest of the century. In 2030, the Middle East is going to be no more relevant than any of the central African shitholes you hear about once every few years when one of them rapes 50 girls at once or some crazy shit.

>>70767401
From what I understand it's because the people who wrote the songs are actual hip hop artists. The flow is good. It's the subject matter that's cringe as fuck.
>Hey you know Alexander Hamilton? Let's make a HIP HOP MUSICAL about him
I don't understand the connection. Why hip hop? Musicals are like the least offensive yet most pretentious form of play and its always the same type of personality that gets fanatical about it. They're almost always people I'd rather not associate with. They're like the type of people who when they have a fucking issue with something, of forming a coherent argument, they send you a link to a song that very loosely paraphrases how they feel even if its not even accurate in a lot of places.
>>70768290
>Are they gonna rewrite history and say the Founding Fathers were all trans?
Libs will be doing this in 5 years.
Mark my fucking words.
>>70768290
No doubt they will place higher importance on it, but historically, there were actually quite a few that indirectly helped with the American revolution.
>>70767094
You're an idiot, this has nothing to do with the victims. Shit musical trying to get attention
>>70768398
>>70768290
bruh it's a play were you expecting them to have 100% accurate casting. Theater has always had stuff like this.
>>70764300
>Hamilton
>Highbrow art
At least be fucking Beckett or something. Hamilton is reddit the musical
>>70767445
Please explain how removing the depiction of firearms in this play is in anyway, symbolic or otherwise, pay homage or support the victims
>>70768364
One reason that hip hop is a good medium for the show is because it's an easy way to fit a ton of information into a short amount of time.
It's not strictly hip hop either, there are several songs that have no hip hop roots or influences at all
>little white boy makes a bank, helps with the founding of the US
>lets make a musical where we cast a tall black dancing man as Alexander Hamilton and make it a hip hop song and dance
>>70768812
It's fucking gay just like them
>>70768823
But it is a HIP HOP musical. Regardless of the fact that they have a couple slow singy songs doesn't change that. Yeah j get that you can get through a ton of information, yeah, but rapping about history fact for fact makes it fucking feel like school of rock. It's lame and it's designed to try to make you interested in an otherwise pretty fucking uninteresting piece of history.
History majors will love it. But most history majors love history because they're afraid if the future. Not because they want to be historians.
>>70764178
Because white people can't rap or dance.
>>70768616
Then make a play about women who helped in the war instead of shoehorning bullshit.
>>70769001
Have you listened to the show? Just because it's telling the story of someone from history doesn't mean it's "for historians." It's very clearly loved by people that probably hadn't heard of Alexander Hamilton before the show. It's a brilliant show, especially considering it was all written (music and lyrics) by one person. The harmonies are wonderful, the costumes are beautiful, and the story is well told.
Listen to the Broadway cast recording. It's genuinely good.
>>70768708
Did you even look at the article? They specifically said "no white people" in their casting call and then got assblasted when this fell under the anti-discrimination law and had to cover their asses. They didn't want any white person no matter how talented. Now, they're accepting white people in auditions but refuse to cast them. They would rather have Alexander Hamilton be played by a woman before he is played by a white man.
>>70769513
>It's very clearly loved by people that probably hadn't heard of Alexander Hamilton before the show
>people that probably hadn't heard of Alexander Hamilton before
>>70764178
For historical accuracy.
>>70769707
You give some many people too much credit. There are a lot of people that are pretty dumb.
why do gay guys love msucial theater so dearly? I texted a gay guy I know about this and he told me to stop fucking around.
>>70769703
No I didn't look at the article because I don't really care that much. But I guess that's dumb of them.
>>70763566
Sooooo progressive
>>70769876
It seemed like a whole day was dedicated to Hamilton in history class.
>>70763566
The western world will not last.
There can be no doubt any longer, save from the delusional and the blind.
>>70769967
Not in mine. I really only heard of him through the Federalist Papers, and we only went over a few of those. I didn't have a great government teacher though, so I obviously don't speak for everyone.

>The harmonies are wonderful
Bull fucking shit. Give me an example and musical analysis.

>>70769132
White people could absolutely dance. Black people just made it so that the only acceptable version of dancing is hip-hop where the others take much more skill.
>>70771265
You mean that paint-by-numbers two part close harmony? This is entirely disposable music, nobody will be playing these tunes on a piano ten years from now.

On the one hand if you are islamophobic you are a bigot, on the other hand if you accept islam you are going against leftist ideals because islam hates gays and degeneracy. That paradox has literally manifested itself with this shooting, liberals have literally been check mated by their own retardation.
It's fucking glorious.
>>70769132
Is this a meme
>>70772725
Sort of. But liberals have brainwashed the general public into believing it.
>>70772683
I've seen more homophobic and racist posts here on 4chan then that.

/r/television has threads for the tonys
>>70774364
