Wait. Isn't this about a decade and a half past giving a gently caress?

They just started releasing some new GitS movies in Japan

I forgot about those. I tried to sit through them maybe a month ago because a couple were on Netflix, and they're so terrible I already forgot they exist.

They should really piss off the weird kids and not give her special ed haircut in the movie.

So we've moved on from being angry about Tilda Swinton in the Dr.Strange

There was anger about that? But, Tilda Swinton makes everything better.

Masamune Shirow once said in an interview that the reason he made Makoto a lesbian was because he did not want to draw man rear end, only lady rear end. He is a porn man deep down at heart.

I'm the same kind of way about always playing a woman in 3rd person shooters.

Is there anything essentially Japanese in character about the story or ppl in it?

I saw the animated movie like 20 years ago, so I don't remember it as being culturally Japanese beyond the fact that Japanese ppl made it.

It's got robots and a strong modern female lead that dresses like a 70's hooker. Who is a robot.

So, yes.

They aren't totally insensitive. I'm sure they'll have her squint and not be able to pronounce her "L"s. Maybe give her buck teeth too, as a nod to the source material.

"According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to “shift her ethnicity” and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film."

:lol:

Ha. I totally called it,

Yeah, lay off with the "anime is for pedophiles" poo poo. We're talking about GiTS here. A genre redefining piece of utterly brilliant art which contains NO pedophilia.

Except for the couple times the main character runs around naked in a tweenbot body in front of a co-worker that's totally horny for her. And the time she's naked in bed with a twelve year old homeless boy and asks if he's down to gently caress.

So unh, there you go. Three films and two seasons of a TV show which are widely regarded as the pinnacle achievement in anime, and AT MOST you've got like three or four examples of anything resembling any sort of creepy sex involving children. Truly anime's crowning glory.

Welp, so much for that controversy. Clearly the Major is not Asian.
