#gingercide

Gingercide again Jean Grey got race swapped latina. Of fucking course it was Insomniac. Watch the shit MCU follow suit.

She also got the big fucking head manfaced treatment MJ got as well. Fucking hell this sucks. Why can't my comic characters look like comic characters?

[that-theaven]

Yes the whole April was originally Black thing is more easily debunked than than the Hermione controversy. That being said that doesn't put Seth Rogen for whitewashing Bebop in the new movie either

This might be weird to say but I'm gonna need for Maharet and Mekare to go through the ~gingercide~ in the show... Cause if they're white while Akasha is POC (I'm assuming black after Aaliyah) the discourse is gonna go on an INSANE direction...

While I agree with most of this, I dispute the claim that the MCU Spider-Man movies "did this properly". Michelle Jones is still a terrible and inferior substitute for Mary Jane Watson, forced in against all narrative cohesion and played by a lousy actress. Just because they didn't outright lie and claim she actually was Mary Jane doesn't mean she's any better than all the times they blatantly replaced an established and enjoyed redhead character with a racebent mockery. She's still a symptom of Marvel's current contempt for Mary Jane and their refusal to let Peter Parker ever be happy.

What’s your opinion on white washing and black washing? I personally think they’re just awful. Not only does it involve replacing an already existing character with a completely new one that just has the name slapped on top, but it’s so lazy. You’d think us mixed and black people would be more offended, but for some reason so many seem to think it’s great representation.

Tiana is Disney’s most popular black princess, and she and her prince were frogs for most of the movie. Cinderella works hard like Tiana and the moment she gets a prince? She lives the high life. Tiana? Gotta stay in that ghetto struggle.

Tinker bell? They already have a black one. Her name is Iridessa and they should’ve given the girl her own movie if they wanted to do more representation.

That new tmnt movie? They made April O’Neil a fat, ugly, black woman. That other tv show of it isn’t any better for it; she’s not ugly but she’s certainly not April. Some people even try to lie and say that April was always originally black but that was disproved by the creators.

Even the new spiderverse movie coming out has done it. They took a white pregnant spider woman (already a bad idea) and made her black for whatever reason.

I’ve noticed that they seem to be especially replacing red head/ginger characters with black people.

The only movie I can think up of off the top of my head that did this properly is Spiderman homecoming. Mary Jane Watson, a white ginger, becomes Michelle Jones Watson, a mixed woman. They didn’t try to say that this was the same Mary Jane that everyone is used to.

I’ve definitely missed a bunch more but these are just the few I can think of.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be creative with already existing mediums, I would just like it if movie studios respected the source material more.

I totally agree with you. It’s unnecessary and it’s lazy to race swap established beloved characters just to get woke points. And it’s worse that they’re getting them, too. People should be holding them to higher standards.

We don’t need remakes just so you can change the look of classic characters we all know and love for shallow political reasons. Give us original content and use whatever race you want to tell the story.

And in my opinion it’s kind of insulting to the people they’re trying to please, too. Like “look we made this character not white this time around! Aren’t you so proud of us? Aren’t we heroes?” It’s pathetic.

And I don’t know why it’s always the redheads they’re swapping either but there’s definitely something going on there.

It’s clear there is no respect for the original stories and they have to be “fixed” because they’re not “progressive” enough.

I don’t even spend time watching things that aren’t original stories because every time they do something just to race swap the whole movie/show sucks.

Gwenny!!

In case youre not on twitter (astaghfurallah) a few days ago some rando made a tweet joking /neg about how if they make a ben 10 movie theyd make gwen black, and that got a bunch of people clown on him and i joined in which included making this fun drawing

It also got a few people who agree that it would be bad to "blackwash"(fucking hate that term) a character in my replies which sure was tiring. Im too immature to block on sight and move on so i try to argue with them but it usually just wastes my time, so i guess PSA if anyone unironically complains about blackwashing or raceswapping white characters or "gingercide" just hit them with hammers and block them

[xmenred2022]

gingercide people are remarkably quiet on Scott Lang, a man hit so hard by adaptation synergy he’s barely had red hair for almost a decade. I wonder why that is. probably nothing.

[asshairz]

@6kirei you me @quotevarchive @akiyurii @impitoyable and gingercide is real

[gwyoi]

Gingercide yaaas let’s kill the redheads

[argentumcor]

I should just embrace being called a redhead half the time and get in on the protest against Hollywood gingercide. It's not like my hair color is easy to define, apparently.

[brithombar]

they should gingercide mj watson in the comics too

[brw]

""gingercide"" Do you want to fucking live or not. Because I'll kill you. I'll do it you fucking bastard.

ITS 2024 IF YOURE COMPLAINING ABOUT ""BLACKWASHING"" I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!

[thebookfreakthatlovesmusic]

In the conversation about Halle Bailey and ‘gingercide’ I find it crazy that people are really forgetting that there are Black people that come out of the womb with red hair like Black gingers are a thing

[black-is-beautiful18]

Some of y’all are really dense.

“Is it modern?”

“Why is her hair not red?!”

“WHERE’S HER TAIL?!”

THIS ISNT A FIRST LOOK!

The cast has been in London since January. Halle has been there since December. They flew into Italy last week and will be there until next month. The pictures from yesterday were of a rehearsal. Ya know…CUZ THEY HAVE TO PRACTICE SCENES THEY HAVEN’T DONE YET. Halle’s hair is red. For those of y’all claiming that there’s some “gingercide” 🙄 and made a huge fuss about her red hair, you should know that. No one is born with fire engine red hair. It’s unrealistic as heck so Disney is going to edit it. They did the same thing to Cinderella’s dress. It was not that dark blue while they were filming. In fact, it looked grey until they edited it for the film.

Stop being idiots. I’m begging you. You think you sound smart and you’re not. You’re just being dumb. And once again Halle has every right to be Ariel cuz she had what the director was looking for. If you wanna bring race into it stories of mermaids were told in Asia and Africa long before they reached Europe. Having ginger hair does not belong to a race. It is genetics. There are Black ppl who are gingers. Argue with your mother.

[jostenneil]

I'm sorry but the only thing candice patton playing iris has led to is a surge in mixed and racially ambiguously looking women with european features to play love interests to white men

me when i lie
