So it's whitewashing to cast a white actor/actress as an Asian character, but perfectly fine and progressive to cast a black guy or a woman as a white male character?
Explain this to me
>>71622663
P.much
RACISM = PRIVILEGE + POWER

And why? It basically all comes down to white guilt. Nazis, slaves, colonialism and all that. All the bad things in the world are because of whites. It starts with kids in school where history lessons are about all the evils of whites and they keep on repeating them until it's in so deep that people really believe it in their heart of hearts. Add the endless Nazi, colonialism and slavery movies and documents that are done EVERY fucking year again and again. They get a shit ton of media attention and awards as well. Every fucking year some Auswich shoah movie gets an Oscar or some shit. It's in too deep already and there's no saving us.
It's basically brainwashing. Modern medicine (whites created it) has saved more non-white lives than whites have taken in the last 2000 years. But saying that is WHITE PRIDE YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE RACIST PIG!!!!
Boom. You just lost your job.
>>71623519
This shit is basically similar to IF the Japanese history lessons for Japanese children were only about the Rape of Nanking and Unit 731 for years and years. Instead, they had the foresight to NOT teach those in school. Go Japs!

>>71624118
Scarlett Johannson was cast as Mokoto in the new GitS movie.
Despite the Major having a robotic body that in no way needs to be Asian.
Hell, it's heavily hinted she wasn't even female when she got cyborg parts, why would she keep the same ethnicity as well?

Okay guys, politics aside we all agree that this is a miscast, right? Who would you cast as Motoko? I can't really think of anything so I'm geniunely curious about your propositions.
Except no anime has Asians in it anyway. It's like all the whites in America moved to Japan, and the Japanese went out to sea and sank.
Now the new white population calls themselves Japanese and lives in Japan, dying their hair strange colors and wearing short skirts.
I wish I had so much spare time and priviledge that I could sit around and make up issues. If I had that amt. of time that isn't what I'd do w/ it, it'd just be nice to have it.

So when you replace minorities with whites, because it's irrelevant to the story, it's negative. When you replace whites and men with minorities and women, it's positive.
>>71623344
that feel I know it
She was only cast because she's a well known actress and people like her as Black Widow and Lucy. They knew the casting wasn't right when they tried to use CG to make her look more Asian. They should have went the Edge of Tomorrow route if they really wanted to make it American Hollywood.
It's all about money in the end.

>>71624686
They cast Idris Elba because lol, who cares about source material?
Motoko is a pretty fuck Japanese name, and Scarjo in action movies is a little stale.
I'm not opposed to it in concept, but I do think it's going to detract from the movie.
>>71624992
But why?
>>71622663
Remember when Annie was black and they made the movie about hating white people instead of a poor relatable orphan girl, and then that movie flopped and was hated but nobody said anything because we'd be racist ;^)
>>71622902
"When you're privileged, equality feels like oppression.". Something I've seen on kikebook a few times. Basically, only sexist and racist people complain, so they don't.
These motherfuckers don't even realize that the story is based on a book and sci-fi ideas from Western literature.
That Kusanagi in the anime is not in a "Japanese" body. Her outer body is supposed to be a very generic mass production model with military grade internal parts. She has had different bodies in the past as well. The puppet master jumps into the exact same body type that the major has, only a civilian model. The only difference is the blonde hair and a slightly lighter skin tone. This is made abundantly clear in the last scene when the two look at each other, as if it were a mirror image.
The entire premise of the film, manga, and TV show is the question of self when the body is no longer relevant to the human experience.
Fuck SJW bullshit on this one I want to see a good movie for once.

Shit makes about as much sense as casting Idris Elba as the whitest of norse gods. Couldn't we have got Rinko Kikuchi instead?
>>71625199
sjw won't even watch it because it's based on manga and that's too childish but at least they can complain :1)
>>71625199
Well that won't happen. They cast Johansson for mass audience appeal, which should make it pretty obvious that it's going to be generic action movie #4046737 with none of the introspection of the anime/manga/animated movies.

It'd be a shame if japan were to try something like this one day, create a really popular medium, and then bastardize western nations by making their characters have blonde hair and blue eyes.
Hmmm hmmm hmm.

Yeah except the body kusanagi uses is japanese, not white.
They don't make it look very japanese in any of the anime/manga, but they sure describe it that way.
>>71622663
There should never be live action movies of an anime at all, not because of this race issue, but because live action versions of anime suck so fucking bad, its a pain to watch them
I can bet 99% of the people supporting this haven't ever heard of Ghost in the shell before this, let alone watched
>>71625199
Then watch the original you fucktard.
Hollywood has proved incapable of producing anything but only the most bland and easily digestable gruel when adapting ANYONE'S work.

In stand alone complex they explained it better. It specifically is not a "Japanese " body. The only things different from the puppet master's Lilly white blonde is the hair and slight skin tone.

I'm just fed up with people who contribute nothing to the creative process but bullshit complaints about things they will never watch.
It wouldn't matter if it stared the chick gogo from kill Bill or any Asian actress. They weren't going to see it any way.
Deadpool proved that you can do justice to the source material and make money. This, is just much to do about nothing.
What would be really cool was if they had the actress playing a lot of other extras and the puppet master to drive home the "shell" point to these idiots.

Pic related, playing "the whitest of the gods"
I'm still upset that they cast a black guy as roland deschain, especially since race played a major part in his interactions with Susannah so you know they are going to take a big shit on the plot
>>71622663
Also the reason is because the purpose is to wipe out whites dumbfuck. Pic very related.

The guy in pic related is right, its prepping the minds of white people for the income billions strong black horde.
>>71622663
This is quite funny, asian anime producers and other such individuals who work in or around these fields make their characters look more 'white' with wider eyes, caucasian hair and eye colour, a white person's physiology and more. They do this out of their own conviction, because asians, especially women, to some extent have western beauty standards.
They may also be doing this to market their crap to western audiences.
Now SJWs claiming to be the ally of the oppressed minority are trying to curb-stomp asian marketing tactics. It's quite funny to watch. Sure, go ahead and get a B-list asian actor instead of Scarlet Johansson, I couldm't give less of a fuck if I tried, but at the end of the day the only people you're hurting is Asian business.

What if... And hear me out now... Scarlet's body is the basic model of the mass production one in Japan. They could hide her in crowd scenes with different hair and small cosmetic alterations.
Japan already has a fascination with the West as far as fashion goes. Fast forward nearly a century and who knows maybe even then it will become a multicultural shithole like your country. :)

I dont think anime characters look either asian or european, they look like aliens to me, however, the identifiable characteristics of the characters, such as their physiology and fashion / clothing, as well as skin colour, eye colour and hair colour all seem to be a lot whiter than they are asian, and are aspiring to western beauty standards in that sense.
Lolita fashion for example seems to be spruced up aristocratic victorian clothing.

As for the gits movie, it needs to not exist at all for the same reason the marvel and dc movies need to not exist. It attracts an audience that is not the original's target. Because of that, mediocrity is as assured as certain.

Elba is the best actor of the Wire.
>>71627390
>Unless their race is relevant to the story why would anyone give a shit?
I can't speak for the Ghost in the Shell adaptation. But at least with the Star Wars movie, while race wasn't relevant in the narrative, it was relevant to the directors and writers.
The big issue with casting unintended races/genders for roles is that it feels forced. If it comes about naturally I don't think anyone really gives that much of a shit. But when you have directors like Abrams basically condemning 'whiteness', and openly saying how he wants more minorities, it's hard not to get frustrated.
>>71627474
It doesn't matter what the role is supposed to be. All Elba plays, no matter the character, is a British gangster.
>>71622663

this, if they were serious about the film im sure they could have picked an asian character. i think there are plenty that have that haircut that could have fill the role well, but i guess producers are worried about sales
>>71622663
Asians are particularly swept under the rug when it comes to casting. They get hardly any representation on the big screen, and when they do, it's usually some one-beat ching-chong stereotype character. White people on the
other hand are almost always cast in leading roles. Unless you're Will Smith or the Rock, you're probably playing second fiddle to a white actor.
It's seen as racist because the few good asian roles are given to white actors because producers know that white leads sell better.

There aren't that many outstanding, young asian actors.
There aren't that many outstanding black actors either, of those that are, they are constantly getting offers and starring in movies.
There is simply a much larger number of A-list white actors to choose from, who are not only better actors but will also attract a bigger audience.
