It's actually even worse than I was expecting. I mean, even most of the commenters to that article are appalled.

... SERIOUSLY?!?!

I mean, this is one of the very few opportunities to use ethnically Asian actors, and this is what we get? I am VERY FUCKING ANGRY. Time to pray to Shiva about bringing some divine wrath down on M. Knight, yes indeed.

M Knight has some issues. Farreal.

JUST A FEW MAYBE.

Yeah, that really hit home to me when I was watching The Village. When you are directing a major motion picture, and the only POC in the entire film is you doing a cameo... well, it's probably time to do some hard thinking about your life choices, y'know?

[yeloson]

Oh HELLLLL NO.

[havocthecat]

So wrong. In so many ways. I didn't have particularly high hopes before, not being a huge fan of the director, but this has lowered my expectations considerably.

[delux_vivens]

Um.

I'm so beyond disappointed and angry that I can't even describe it.

[hekatelesedi]

I totally agree.

On a happier note, I love your icon to bits, and I'd love to steal, with credit, of course.
