Am I the only one sick of watching Ana De Armas and Chris Evans in the same movies? Is Hollywood really THAT small? She’s not the ONLY Latina actress out there for representation. How about we move on and use someone different? Thanks.

i saw this on reddit as a sample of how the mcu landscape has changed when it comes to latino characters and the comments were full of " they're not latino theyre x"

and let me tell you

if you ( or your family) come from latin america you're latino

that's about it.

and as america is a continent with very little genetic diversity (among native population) and most latinos are mixed, so native americans from us/canada are basically family too.

seriously, they have done dna studies and there's a decent amount of overlap.

so a character like maya lopez (echo) can be both Native *and* latina

a character like Namor also counts, because he comes from latin america too! the character is from atlantis in the comics, but they cast a native latino actor and adjusted the story accordingly.

and characters like robbie reyes and yoyo from AOS count too, even if we're unsure of AOS' current standing in MCU canon.

they're still latino heroes we were very happy to see!

America Chavez might come from a different dimension but latam (or some version) still existed! we saw her mums!

in Moon Night, we see marc's mum, who iirc is brazilian, and *all* actors playing him are latino

the only ones we can argue about are aliens (eternals) and robots (WbN)

the point is, it was supposed to be a celebratory thing, not once again arguing over what it means to be latino.

To those who say that The Acolyte cannot be the victim of racism-related hatred because of the main actors of Andor, Mandalorian and Ahsoka make me slowly laugh.

Diego Luna may be Mexican, but he's sort of white-skinned. Pedro Pascal is under a fucking mask the majority of the time, and Ahsoka may be an Afro Latina actress is a character who was basically one in the animation, being part of an alien race. Natasha Liu Bordizzo also plays a person who was originally in animation with a fanbase that already existed.

You may think that all this does not play a role in public perception, particularly racist in terms of their tolerance, but you are wrong (especially in the reception of an animated character compared to live action like with Sabine). On the contrary, it plays a huge role in their criticism. And precisely, thanks to that they can hide behind the excuse of not being racist.

Amandla is a black woman who play a completely new character. She pulls the triple hat for the worst of the worst in Star Wars fandom. Namely the sexist criticisms and the misogynistic criticisms, and criticizes of the untouchable Lore / what they think Star Wars is supposed to be, which all combine together.

Without forgetting that the one who makes the show is also a woman, a lesbian on top of that, who inevitably infuses her vision into Star Wars.

Stop acting like it doesn't matter.

And hiding behind the fact that many love Qimir and want the continuation of his story to make people believe that there is no racism linked to Amandla forgets some details on this subject.

Literally, these people completely remove the female character, Osha, from Qimir, while you can't tell his story by removing the girl. The characters work together and not separately. They don't understand that the essence of Qimir's character is linked to Osha. And obviously they don't understand that he's more complex than a Sith either.

These people who only focus on Many don't understand the character at all. Most also have misogynistic remarks towards Osha / Amandla.

So, frankly, taking those who specifically focus on Qimir as a standard to prove that there is no racism, only shows their incompetence in analysis and understanding of media, without forgetting the other horrible side that this show has had to face ; misogyny.

Be realistic, the show suffered a huge hate campaign well before its release and therefore the slightest trace of the storyline !

And yes, the storyline of The Acolyte is not perfect, but that is far from the main reason why the show is criticized ! A little realism and objectivity, please !

It's to the point that there is a counter-petition to prove that people don't want The Acolyte to be renewed, and sorry for the haters, but the numbers painfully prove you otherwise.

i saw a post you made about catwoman where you mentioned that she was always white in the comics and i wanted to come in and refute that! catwoman has been portrayed on and off in the comics as afro-latina (often specifically cuban) for a while now. in animated series like harley quinn and dc super hero girls (and the comics that go with them) shes been portrayed as black

also in the 1960s batman show, catwoman was portrayed by three different actresses! in seasons 1 and 2 she was portrayed by julie newmar (a white woman) and then in the third season she was portrayed by eartha kitt. in the film adaptation of the show she was portrayed by lee meriwether (another white woman)

Hey thanks for this!!! I don't know where that post is right now but hopefully it comes up when I tag catwoman on this ask.

now I'm gonna paste some pix of black Catwomen

hii maybe you can do a sev w a spanish reader!!!!

I see you talk it a little?

lovelovelove

sure! i should give a quick disclaimer before i do this tho: i'm not latina or hispanic! (i'm irish american, so i'm very white haha) so if i get anything wrong-- language or culture or anything-- please let me know, and i'll fix it asap!

sevika would love hearing you speak spanish. on the phone with your family, or when you're out with your friends, or even sometimes to other spanish speakers you encounter in public.

she's never really thought about it before, but once she meets you she swears spanish is the most beautiful language.

(it's just because you speak it and you're beautiful.)

she's constantly having you teach her words and phrases and using them in conversation, looking at you with an anxious little smile each time she does until you praise her and tell her she did great.

if it's your native language, sevika starts taking night classes. she wants you to feel comfortable at home with her, so even if she can't speak it perfectly, she learns enough that she can at least understand you when you speak.

if you call her a spanish pet name, she'll melt. mi amor, mi vida, and mi corazon are her faves.

(she also loves calling you mamacita. she's ridiclious i love her)

i'm most familiar with chilean spanish, and i love guagua-- a chilean pet name. it means baby. (i know guagua also means bus in some countries, so i don't wanna confuse anyone haha) but if you taught this word to her, she'd use it for you all the time.

sevika's voice actress is afro-latina, so there's a chance her character could speak spanish as well.

how cute would that be? she'd only speak spanish with you, like it's your own secret language.

in public, she'd talk shit to you about people pissing her off in spanish right in front of their faces. you'd have to bite your lip to keep from bursting into laughter and betraying your conversation.

taglist!

The comparisons with Luz Noceda are starting to become actively aggravating. Luz is Afro-Latina. Lois is voiced by a Korean actress, Alice Lee, and is probably some variety of East Asian due to such. We don’t in fact have to flatten everything in a fandom monoculture.

Afro-Cubana actress Gina Torres talks about her identity journey as a first Gen Afro-Latina in Hollywood 🇨🇺

Blackness and Latinidad are not mutually exclusive. Afro-Latinx (or Afro-Latino, -Latina, or -Latine) folks are people who identify their ethnicity as Latino and their race as Black. There are millions of descendants of the African diaspora who make up Latin American and Latinx communities.

maybe there's more context but i noticed a lot of the time, public criticism for projects lands really heavily on lmm's shoulders. the reason why i'm saying this is because i binged his projects and its reception. apparently, when in the heights 2021 came out, there was a lot of discourse about the lack of afro-latino representation in the movie: this itself is completely justifiable and good. we shouldn't be scared to critique and start conversations about media. but i was a bit confused because all of the blame was put on lin and not the director? maybe you can provide more context here: i know he's the show's original creator and is famous, so he's reasonably gonna get more scrutiny; and he did have a role as a producer, but he talked about how they tried to take out the piragua guy, etc. so i assumed he didn't have full control, and usually, the director is the main focus, no?

and of course that period where people hated the song in the little mermaid and the movie being eh was his fault, and even the bad songs in wish somehow being his fault (despite him not being part of that lmao). i'm an international fan that recently listened to in the heights and was really impressed, so i wasn't aware of all of this.

and then the projects of his that were well received seem to have this begrudging energy. people liking tick tick boom (which he directed) but heaping the praise on andrew garfield (who deserves it!!) and not any for lin? like wtf i thought y'all love to make him the sole focus of critique.

these are just my impressions based on some heavy online surfing, and i wanted to ask your opinion!

i actually agree with everything you said here, anon.

let's start with in the heights (2021). i don't know if you're one of my mutuals, but if you are, you probably know already that i am not afraid of criticizing the movie. maybe not because of the lack of representation (i am a white woman so i feel like it's not my place to say anything about this but i totally understand why others can feel excluded), i have other issues with it tho. but, as far as i can tell, lin was not responsible for the casting & yet he was the one who apologized. so they basically said they were talking about casting afro-latinos but they ended up with actors who were just perfect for the roles in their opinion (also, leslie grace, the actress who plays nina, is, in fact, afro-latina). & yes, they were trying to get rid of piragua guy, mostly because they couldn't find anyone who could play him & they asked lin if he could do it (he wasn't supposed to be in the movie AT ALL & he only agreed cause he wanted to save piragua guy). so yes, they put all the blame on lin but those were not exactly his choices. also, speaking of lack of representation, did we already forget about what he did for people of color on broadway? cause i saw so many people calling him racist & it's just... are you sure we are talking about the same guy?

about the scuttlebutt, i have so many things to say. well, first of all, lin was only responsible for like, three songs in the little mermaid? wild uncharted waters & for the first time? damn, those songs are really good & i know most people agree. but there's also the scuttlebutt. so the hate comes mostly from people who hate awkwafina & her voice in general, they find it annoying. well, guess what: this song was supposed to be annoying. maybe it's hard to say when you just listen to it without any context, but damn, just watch the movie & then it makes a lot of sense. second of all: the main audience? kids. & as far as i can tell, the kids absolutely loved it. not every song has to be a masterpiece, some songs are JUST FOR FUN, let's not forget about that. i know a lot of people also complain because it's rap, well guess what, this is lmm we are talking about so what did you expect? it's just his thing, it doesn't have to be everyone's cup of tea, but damn, it's not gonna change just because some people don't like it, deal with it.

speaking of tick tick boom, i absolutely loved the movie & i agree, andrew garfield was incredible, but yes, i haven't seen anyone talking about lin, like??? he literally directed it. i saw one comment on polish website tho that goes like "lin manuel miranda, keep this name in mind cause he's gonna be huge one day" & i was like oh boy, i have news for you... (i'm sorry i hate my country so fucking much).

i'm not even gonna say anything about disney's wish because there's no point. he had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing, & people still blame him... this is just ridiculous. come on.

i saw a twitter thread some time ago where someone was trying to prove that lin is a bad person in general & honestly, spending so much time online just to prove that someone is problematic is insane to me. go touch some fucking grass instead of being a hater.

honestly, i wish i knew why people hate him so much, yes, i know he is not perfect & he made some mistakes in the past (he even apologized for some of them) but there are so many celebrities who are much more problematic & yet they will hate on lin & try to paint him as evil. i will never understand this.
