So, you guys, time to learn about my experience at Heroes Con. I'll talk about the panels first. Because they were...pretty amazing. But not in a good way.

The DC Nation panel was the one where I actually asked questions annnd stuff. First of all, it looks like a good time for Jason Todd fans because Sattler seemed pretty into it and he says they ( Read more... )

So,a casual observer might be inclined to think-- what does DC have against Asians?

Cassandra Cain is currently stuck in limbo after having her character utterly crapped on for the longest time- evil, then given a terrible miniseries by the guy who turned her evil- and her role's been taken over by her white best friend.

No, the OTHER avatar movie. The last airbender one.

It is known that I object to the casting in every way possible. Asian and Inuit characters were cast as white people. The only people who were cast as non caucasian were those who were considered villians in the first movie- and Zuko, who was asian in the show, was cast as Indian, because one race ( Read more... )

I finally got around to writing my letter for Avatar. Now I just need to find a stamp so I can send it off!

I was extremely disappointed to see the casting for the Avatar The Last Airbender movie was completely Caucasian. I think this goes beyond liking the show, but speaks of the marginalization of people of color ( Read more... )

Doubtless, everyone has heard of the casting for the Avatar movie. I wasn't going to make a post on it, since so many others have managed much better ones than I could have, but I realized I could link to those posts and spread awareness! So here.

Get the skinny! The sad, white, skinny.

Wellllp, school is out and it's the givin' of thanks time over here in the USA and I'm heading to Atlanta tomorrow to spend it with my cousin. Lately I've basically been working on my Senior Exit Project (It is finally finished!) and following the fallout from the Twilight movie on fandom_wank and other sites. It's quite hilarious. I'm glad I wised ( Read more... )
