You're too much of an obstinate blowhard to acknowledge that slapping gold grillz on the black actress chick is ignorant racial stereotyping.
quote:
What has she ever done for your proxies to mock her with some idiotic cultural insult? A culture she isn't even a part of, she's an English actress. Calling it a "joke" doesn't change the ignorant racial nature of it. I've given you the benefit of the doubt in a lot of these woke show threads, but your refusal to admit that the grillz thing is racist is leading me to conclude that you really are a racist nitwit.
You're the racist for insisting that there's anything genetically inherent that gold teeth are resigned ONLY for black people.
* And let me repeat myself. The mocking of Disa as a black dwarf is mostly on the writers and showrunners of RoP. Not the actress. She just took a role and did a decent job (some say the best acting in the show). She could have been a far more important part if the writers had bothered to do ANY work at all and brought in characters from the South, where actual people of color WERE in Tolkien's work. But no black dwarves, elves or hobbits. That's the worst part of all this, she could have been a part of this amazing mythical world. Properly so.
But now we'll never know.

Except, it is, especially in the context that your proxies used it. And you calling anyone programmed is ridiculous, considering you constantly regurgitate shite you watch on Youtube. And I'm not offended, I'm making a factual statement. The grillz thing is an ignorant racial stereotype. You know it is, but you still defend it.

I didn't say anything about genetics or grillz being black exclusive, you retard. Stop making shite up. And calling me a racist is laughable.
See, I don't have an entrenched position here, like your incalcitrant arse. I easily recognize that the Velma shite is racial, the same as the grillz shite. It's not an either or proposition, they can both be racist nonsense.

I couldn't give a shite less about any of that, I've not watched a minute of Rings of Power, nor will I. Their mocking of her with racial stereotypes puts you in bad company.

Not mine. I post vids from those who make good points, and in this case, one vid had a funny thumbnail. I had no part in the process of making any of it.
You're offended because you believe it's 'racial'. I know it not to be. That's simply how it is.
quote:
Stop making shite up
This is ENTIRELY your head canon making stuff up. If it's RACIAL, by definition it MUST be genetic in nature. Gold teeth, truck nuts, not remotely racial. Choices made by a tiny % of a group for purely social reasons.
The Velma stuff where she insults Fred and calls him out for being white, rich, and entitled are overtly mean in nature and gratuitous. There's NO reason for it, what so ever.
Again, you're comparing ONE screenshot to an entire HBO Max series.

I'm not offended, you spit that out as a deflection. It is racial and you know it is.

Well, don't invent shite I didn't say. Racial does not mean exclusively genetic. Race is also social and cultural. Again, something you know but refuse to acknowledge.

There's also no need to slap a grill on the black chick. They did it for the same reasons as Velma.

Yes, it does. It's sciency. Maybe that's where you're getting confused?

Well, if you're saying there's no reason ANY blacks should wear gold teeth/grillz, then isn't THAT racist? Or only when YouTubers do it on a thumbnail and you don't agree with them? This is getting way too confusing.

And you're wrong again. Race, by definition, includes social and cultural components.

When did I say that? I've been rather plain in my language, don't act like you don't understand me. And stop inventing shite I didn't say. You're confused because you're fricking dumb, apparently.

I'm inventing nothing. I'm explaining. You say things off the cuff thinking you know what you're talking about. You don't.

No, you're just dumb as a brick. If dumb were a super power you would be in Marvel movies,

Lol. Says the dude who watches hours of Youtube daily to see what he should be outraged about. You live in an echo chamber, you literally can't comprehend anything outside of your narrow window of belief. People from all kinds of backgrounds in this thread have told you that you're wrong, but you still insist that you're the righteous one. If anyone needs to step away from the computer, it's you.

Exactly. It associates her with the lowest common denominator of black American culture, simply because she's also black.
It's just as dumb as saying Colin Firth likes truck nuts.

Again, this is like saying that Patrick Stewart likes truck nuts and Natty lite.
Being a stereotype doesn't mean that the comparisons automatically make sense.

Not differently. Less well.
The cognitive achievement gap is substantial and highly heritable.

It probably is a “hit” in terms of viewership. This show was crafted from the ground up to piss people off, have free marketing, and target hate watches.
Posted on 1/17/23 at 12:24 pm to td01241
Was looking to find viewership numbers since they have already released The Last of Us numbers but can't find exact numbers. But it was the most watched premiere of any HBO Max animated show. Viewership will get you renewed.
