Then she should start producing movies so she can have far more control in who she works with.

Without men, especially white men, she probably wouldn't be able to make a living in the field she currently does.

I feel like the context is lost here.

Never saw the first Creed. I was going to catch up and then go see the new one. Not now. Thanks Tessa

Aweome. I support that.

she does not wish to walk on set and have white males predominate either on screen or off. 



How very inclusive of her.

Creed is excellent. Don’t do yourself a disservice.

Inclusive to all or does that really mean that he just wants a lot of black people on the set? If he means that he wants his movie productions to have equal representation for all groups, then I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

So you are an advocate for every movie to have equal representation of every race, any gender, midgets, dwarfs, retards, the elderly, etc...?

Instead of just choosing the best people for the job we have to find inclusive groups of people to fill a quota regardless of skill?

Ignoring "just" for some disgruntled white male outrage makes OP seem like a snowflake.

I had no idea who she was, probably a bunch who don't either. The pic might help.


Pic of her as a Valkyrie that never dresses as Valkyrie. They took one of the most visually appealing Marvel characters and turned her into Generic Warrior Princess #2.

That's exactly what she meant. Snowflakes are offended by it, though.

No. That's not what I mean. I mean that when he says "inclusive" is it just his way of saying he wants a predominately black movie set? I am not a fan of filling positions according to quotas as opposed to hiring the best people for the job, but I'm also not naïve enough to believe it doesn't happen more and more these days, especially in the film industry.
