Can We Stop Making Films Where the Villain Wears Glasses?
This trailer mostly looks fantastic. Even after KOTCS, I still have hope, but can we please, please stop portraying villains, especially Nazis, with short-sightedness?
Short-sightedness is a DISABILITY. Thus, constantly portraying spectacle-wearers as villains, especially the Nazis (who weren't fond of the disabled, or intellectuals; and, yes, I know some high-profile Nazis wore glasses, but many of them also had dark-hair, but that didn't stop them talking about blond, blue-eyed 'Aryans' as the superior race, did it?), is ABLEIST.
It wouldn't be so bad if Indy was also wearing glasses, as he did in TOD (which stupidly gets derided as 'the most offensive Indiana Jones film'... *sigh*), and as his father did in TLC, but making your only glasses-wearer the main Nazi is frankly offensive. Bear in mind, contact lenses did exist in this era, but they weren't particularly popular yet.
And no, this is NOT trolling or some sort of satire. I'm serious. I post these issues here because I know other sites will tolerate them even less. Hopefully, the posters here are more tolerant and open-minded. Please prove me right.
