Care to give me the actual definition of a "skank"?


Most common?

a prostitute; whore. a person who is sexually promiscuous, especially a woman.

And yes, I do see that there is a definition for an "immoral person", which I've never heard anyone use it this way. So if that's what you mean, ok. But I'm sure you can understand the confusion you caused.

Yeah, I'm not believing this until it's confirmed. Doesn't seem like Nolan.

In its entirety.

Dictionary.com says that a skank is:
1. A prostitute, a whore
2. Disparaging and Offensive. a person who is sexually promiscuous, especially a woman.
3. A dirty, repulsive, or immoral person.
4. Dirty or repulsive matter; filth

Genetically, which of those definitions do you think fit Lupita?

I don't think she's a prostitute, so that leaves us with unpleasant. She's definitely a racist, but maybe some folks find that to be a quality they like. I guess that's also subjective.

You're thinking of Jodie Turner-Smith. And they were married for a few years, divorced last year.

Nuptia is a good actress. But she's not the beauty that launches 1000 boats to war.
I'll still go see the movie though race swaps don't bother me. Just think she's not a 10. Helen needs to be a 9 or 10.

Jodie and Josh split in 2023. He then dated Lupita for awhile.

This board used to be the most peaceful board on this site. Shame what's happened to it


The conflict is here for a reason.

Half on this board are all in on the replacement of legacy film/book/tv characters with someone other than straight white males. Because white people are the root of all evil you see. They cheer it on and gaslight those who oppose by saying "its just a movie why do you care?"

The other half push back against the studios constantly doing this. This isn't about this film in particular, it is an ongoing fight against the erasure of a culture.

Also, why don't the studios do more films set in sub-Saharan Africa and explore its history and myths? Wy must they take legends and myths from largely European history and alter it? This does a disservice to both groups and the truth overall.

How about the others that aren't jumping to conclusions based on some fake image with Lupita? If it's confirmed, complain all you want. But at least wait for confirmation. This was started by random accounts on X.
