What?

Regency era England, LOL.

Multicultural cast pretending as if it were normal in an England set a few decades before the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.πŸ™„

But no, it's just color blind casting. No political agenda whatsoever...

Only racists think there is an "agenda" here.

Says who? You? In that case, it can't be taken seriously.

I have yet to see ElSofoque say something β€”on ANY subjectβ€” that can be taken seriously...

My agenda shall be not to watch historically incorrect twaddle.

Only racists watch this show!πŸ˜„

That Ariana Grande guy must be pumped for it! πŸ˜„

In that case I look forward to a mixed race Zulu tribe in the next adaption of "Zulu" than. Oh hang on, it doesn't work the other way does it?

reply

Yep... when I watched the trailer I knew instantly it wasn't worth watching. If I'm watching Roots I expect black actors to play the parts of the black characters.. if I watch a movie on the Ming dynasty I expect to see Chinese actors. This casting makes as much sense as casting Melisa McCarthy and James Corden to play character in a concentration camp during the holocaust. I refuse to watch woke shit that was cast by a quota system.

The sad thing is if you were to do the "color blind" casting of Roots the liberal cunts would be up in arms at the "cultural misappropriating" that was going on. The hypocrisy is what kills them.

The hypocrisy is detestable, they’ll be out with pitchforks again when Gal Gadot’s Cleopatra is released, all falsely claiming its historic whitewashing of a black African Queen.

reply

Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek--a total white chick. Anybody who tries to sell you this "black African Queen" tripe is an ignoramus or a liar.

reply

Yep, the Twitter outrage over the casting of Gal Gadot was quite a thing to witness, so many people are just ignorant of history it seems.

reply

Why stop at casting black actors and actresses in a setting they would hardly feature in? Let's have some disabled people in wheelchairs in their corsets fanning themselves.

reply

As if you were ever going to watch this anyway.......

reply

As if you would watch it it if it wasn't woke...

reply

lol and you called Me a troll.

reply

I'm dead serious. This show completely fails at being a Regency romantic drama. You even admitted yourself you had to "adjust" to a whole bunch of things. There's no other reason to watch it besides its politics.

reply

Maybe not. But I still live in a society that endures this ever-increasing woke culture, so just because I won't be watching it doesn't mean I'm not affected by it.

reply

You say that in jest, but I remember a few years back the woke warriors at Disney's California Adventure hired a lady in a wheelchair to be in their stage production of Aladdin... So they are dumb enough to do that type of thing and it was just as jarring as you would expect to see someone in a wheelchair moving about in a musical/play in a story where no wheelchairs would have existed.
