Social Black Panther (War Room Discussion)

[Tiny]

But both sides are making a claim.

You're claiming that, despite hundreds of years of racial bias in America, somehow none of that ever penetrated Hollywood.

And the other side is claiming that, despite what a casual observer may see as a pretty fair racial environment, there are still major discriminatory practices in Hollywood.

You haven't provided any proof that racism stopped at the silver screen. They haven't provided any proof that racism still lives on in Hollywood.

So how do we evaluate this?

To prove to me that there is still a problem with blacks being under represented in hollywood based against their population representation then show me numbers that tell me that they are far less than 12 percent.

Its that easy.

Far less then 12 percent is less then 10 percent. Lets say you would have a valid arguement if that number was 8 or less.

8 or less percent of black actor representation in hollywood would cause huge gaps of seeing ANY black actor in any kind of staring role.

And im sorry but i cant think of any time in my lifetime where there wasnt good black actors playing staring roles in major motion pictures.

So i doubt any validity in the claims that blacks are under represented based on there population in the united states. And further more, this fucking narrative magically seemed to have become a thing since the blm movement and isnt that a coincidence?

You think media made this stink over any eddie murphy movie in the 80’s? Or will smith movie in the 90’s? Well why not? According to you this has been asystemic problem for over 100 years.

Show me numbers of drastic under representation against their 12 percent population base and i will agree that this is a problem worth tackeling. Otherwise this is just another bullshit libtard narrative that loves and feeds off of the victim of the month card.

Do you believe that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth? Prove to me that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth. Oh, you can't, you brainwashed libtard cuck. In all my life, I've never once seen a dinosaur and I can think of countless times when I was on Earth and did not see a dinosaur. So I doubt any claim that dinosaurs were once real.

So again, prominate roles in 60 percent of these movies and lead actor in 1.

10 percent again. Problem? Nope!

Let's check 1996 then Surely we were racist in 1996!

1 Independence Day Fox $306,169,268 2,977 $50,228,264 2,882 7/3

So out of these 10, black actors in prominent roles in 70 percent of these films and lead acting in 30 percent...40 if you include Cuba but for argument's sake...let's not.

Problem? Nope!

This was 3 slices in time over the past 20 years showcasing that audience will buy movies staring black actors, and black actors had no problem representing well over their 12 percent population in the united states.

Wake me up when there is ACTUALLY a problem and not just a bunch of libtard headlines placating BLM.

Want me to do the same for female leads in action films? Or do you submit that there have been a ton of leading woman staring as action heros in films?

 

[Son of Werdum]

The fucking media pushed that narrative you stupid shit.

Just as they did with wonderwoman

I have never seen ANYONE push the narrative that Wonder Woman or Black Panther was a milestone for gender or racial progress.

Yet I have seen dozens of morons on the internet like yourself outraged at the "liberal media" for supposedly pushing the narrative that Wonder Woman and Black Panther are milestones for gender and racial progress.

Of course I don't go looking through hundreds of reviews hoping to find one person I can use as an example. I don't have time for that shit but I am sure you do.

It's insane how thin skinned you full-time victims are.

It was all over the fucking media, dipshit. It was jammed down all our throats. And claiming there never was a problem at either Black film representation or woman in film especially as leads in blockbuster action films, is hardly showcasing "victim mentality". But then you are just looking to bitch because you fucking failed at actually paying attention to what I was ACTUALLY saying and now that I've finally straightened you out, you are OF COURSE still looking to bitch.

Color me surprised.

Go change yer tampon.

I did not see it once in any media outlet and I ingest about as much media as any healthy male.

Maybe someone on your weirdo conservative outrage blogs found some random dumb bitch on Twitter but I never saw a single professional review or promotion for the movie discuss the racial or gender milestones that the movie reached.

So you can keep saying it was "all over the media" but that doesn't make it true. It's just some weirdo persecution fantasy you conservative snowflakes like to imagine, just like all your other shit.

I am friends with dozens of women on Facebook who I would describe as "dumb Femnazi bitches" and plenty of other "SJW pussies."

I see their stupid ass rants every time I check my Facebook.

I saw them rally behind that shitty Ghostbusters remake and claim its failure was due to jealous males and sexism. I saw them bash the Angry Video Game Nerd and other critics for giving very fair and reasonable assessments of why they had no interest in the movie.

I saw them rally behind Amy Schumer and blame the patriarchy for her low ratings on her Netflix special.

I see them post just about every stupid ass Jezebel article you can find.

But I have never seen a single one of them promote Wonder Woman or claim it to be a milestone for feminism. Never even heard one of them mention the movie.

They largely don't like Wonder Woman because they cast the extremely attractive and fit Gal Gadot who pretty much every man finds irresistibly charming and beautiful. They only like attractive women who are also loudmouth malcontents like Jennifer Lawrence.

Wonder Woman was mostly loved by sane women, hungry men, and little girls who finally had a beautiful and kick ass hero. Nothing to do with liberal agenda when assessing the movie by either the media or the public.

You live in a fantasy.

I mean I can keep going but what's the point? You just want to bitch. So get it alllll out of your system lil buddy. Bitch away.

 

[original doom]

I don't think the issue is the percentage of Asians in movies so much as them being typecast into minor roles and not getting important roles, even in movies where its kind of obvious an Asian should be cast. The Last Airbender, Dragonball Evolution, Dr. Strange, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, Starship Troopers, the list goes on. And almost every film Hollywood makes based in an Asian setting features a white protagonist. It's pretty played out at this point.

you have to draw the line at fiction such as starship troopers as it wasnt even wrote by an asian.

you have to understand white liberals only love blacks.

Just picked an article at random and read it, the LA Times one. It said absolutely nothing about feminism or its impact on gender issues. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

All it discussed was that it is by far the most financially successful superhero movie with a female lead. Which it is by far. It approached it from an economic standpoint and not a social one in any way.

It talked largely about the marketing opportunities for WW merchandise and how it might shift the balance in the MCU vs DCEU war.

It cited previous female superhero movies like Catwoman and Electra and discussed how they were critical and commercial flops. It did not draw any links to sexism or feminism at all to explain those flops.

It prospected on what this success in an untapped market might make for future female lead superhero movies like the upcoming Captain Marvel.

The closest thing to even approaching a social issue was a single sentence about the Hollywood pay gap and calling posters of Wonder Woman by herself "girl power."

Did you even read these articles at all? Something tells me you just typed "Wonder Woman Feminism" into Google and posted the few articles you found. If you have to do that it is not "all over media." You are actively looking for something to be outraged about snowflake.

Ahhh ya fucking dipshit, ya did it again.

First link;

"Wonder Woman" isn't the only movie to make the conversation happen. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" made a choice to have a female lead. So did "Rogue One." We need more female leads like this, more female screenwriters and more female directors, but that's not where to start. The film industry needs more women in positions of power: more female producers and executives, like Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy, who will have themselves represented the way they want to be seen. More women with the power to choose who tells those stories is the next step to providing half of the world's population more Diana Princes, more Reys, and more Jyn Ersos. "Wonder Woman" is a great start, but it's just the beginning."

To this I counter that Wonder Woman ISN'T the 'first' fucking movie to a woman in a "position of power". It's been happening in every other movie since I was a kid. It's nothing new. Go check Angelina Jolie's IMBD or Scarlet J's to see what the fuck I'm talking about. There was no new ground broken here. This is much ado about nothing and a false narrative created by the media. And dare I suggest that of the 3 female characters produced by female directors or producers...2 of them sucked and had no story or background to them. And 1 is a Mary Sue.

Stories like Ripley, in Alien was much more bad ass and fleshed out as a person than all 3 of these examples. So do we NEED it to be a female producer or director to tell a story of a bad ass female character?

Nope.

What we NEED is great producers and great directors -regardless of sex or color- telling great stories on film. And if those stories happen to be black or female then so be it.

You are correct though that I did in fact "google" Wonder Woman - Feminism because this is shit is months old and I didn't care enough to save out any of these links to my fav's because I don't care enough about this non story. And the only reason I'm actually revisiting this bullshit again is to slap you upside the face with this crap and to tell you that this was in fact the narrative media created when Wonder Woman was released.

Stay bitchy, bitchy guy.

So out of these 10, black actors in prominent roles in 70 percent of these films and lead acting in 30 percent...40 if you include Cuba but for argument's sake...let's not.

Problem? Nope!

This was 3 slices in time over the past 20 years showcasing that audience will buy movies staring black actors, and black actors had no problem representing well over their 12 percent population in the united states.

Wake me up when there is ACTUALLY a problem and not just a bunch of libtard headlines placating BLM.

Want me to do the same for female leads in action films? Or do you submit that there have been a ton of leading woman staring as action hero films?

Do you find it at all odd that you consider voicing a cartoon as "prominent roles for black people."

They're literally cartoons. Voice work.


So out of all those movies you named will smith is the only real leading role. The others are bunk roles like Rogue One, cartoons, or lowly supporting characters.

Work is work. Voice acting is part of work within Hollywood, and these types of movies make money. It's actually a great window in that there ISN'T a problem, as if there was racial bias against blacks, then most certainly few if not any would get cast as voice actors as their timber or tone could easily be replaced by a tenor voiced white guy.

It further proves that it's a myth that blacks are under represented in Hollywood films. Black Panther broke no ground as no ground needed to be broken and we need to stop placating the whiny and bitchy demands and complaints of BLM, which likely started this entire narrative. Because as I've said, this wasn't even a topic of conversation during the 80's and 90's when I was enjoying Eddie Murphy and Will Smith movies.

Sam Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Cuba Gooding JR...and yes Will Smith (because he's been the most prominent working Black actor in the past 20 years), so I'm not surprised that his movies made the list twice. Doesn't negate anything and it's a weak ass attempt to try and brush all the other roles under the rug.

Blacks represent 12 percent of America's population. I should really only see close to 12 percent black representation in Hollywood. And go figure, that's what I just listed. Over 60 percent of these films feature a black casted actor in prominent speaking roles...and over 12 percent (if you average out all three lists) feature a black actor cast in the leading role.

you have to draw the line at fiction such as starship troopers as it wasnt even wrote by an asian.

you have to understand white liberals only love blacks.

Asians are not rioting in the streets like an angry mob bitching and moaning about everything they can while asking for handouts and reparations because some shitty white cops shot some shitty black people. Suddenly every aspect of their lives is an atrocity and ZERO blame can be pointed at a shitty culture that perpetuates piss poor life decisions.

Asians are too busy working hard and owning SAT scores to give a fuck.

Wish Blacks would be more like Asians. Yup, I said it.

what a shit thread, almost as bad as the fucking film.

What was wrong with the film? I thought it was decent compared to most super hero films. They actually put effort and told a bit of back story on the main antagonist for once and for the most part, he wasn't some cgi dry wall bad guy. I thought that was a step in the right direction.

When was the last time you saw BLM? No one isn’t placating BLM.

And you’re wrong. As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s people did talk about this stuff. You just don’t remember any of it.

#nope.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

#nope.

They most certainly did.

Spike Lee for instance. You’re either lying or being ignorant to cover up for you lying.

In the 80s you had the Cosby show and that was the first time on tv an educated and wealthy black family was depicted on prime time.
