For discussing any racial, gender, and orientation misdoings happening across various movies and the film industry today.
This week, producer Ross Putnam started a Twitter account called "femscriptintros
", where he puts up examples of how women are introduced in the screenplays he's read. And nearly all of sound like terrible porn or are too concerned with emphasizing said lady is beautiful despite whatever traits she may have. Here's a Take Two podcast made today where he talks about it.

And we're supposed to believe conservatives criticizing Disney for being too liberal between this and Ike Perlmutter? Clearly they don't read between the lines.
Power of Thor!
Katherine Langford to Star in The Lady of the Lake Origin Story Series Cursed
Zetna Fuentes (Jessica Jones, Jane the Virgin) will direct and executive produce the first two episodes. The series synopsis describes the show as “a coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible.”
Frank Miller? Headlining a YA series?
Oh this is going to be terrible.

It's co-created by the guy who did the Lego Ninjago Movie. I at least hope he and others are able to keep Miller in check.

Once again, curiosity piqued.
I'm here for our date, Rose!
Miller claims to have gotten his head on straight again in the last few years, FWIW.

Well that's good to see Munn's actions had an effect. Good thing that Paige Carnes is getting justice now.
Wait, where did Frank Miller claim to get his head on straight? That's a miracle if it's true.

Just watch as the female lead turns out to be an unloved medieval prostitute who gains magic powers through a series of angsty events. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

Not to mention what an irresponsible attitude that is to take towards multiracial people:
Oh, the burden of world peace and racial cooperation rests solely on your shoulders. Single-race people can't do it, it's all up to you. And it's all because of the chance occurrence of what your parents were, not who you are.
You can't leave a task like that to anything less than the full population of the world.
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you
Ah yes, mixed race babies have always been the solution to ending racism.

As much issue as I have with The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, at least they kept its “oppressor and victim” friendship plausible by showing Bruno hadn’t drunk all the Kool-Aid, he just wasn’t informed enough to question it.

There times where I wonder if my liking for Raven Hair, Ivory Skin is "genuine" or me internalizing the racial views of society.
Who cares. I need more pale people with smooth dark hair

Lover of masks.
IS there such a thing as a you who isn’t you? Are we not all just the sum of our parts?
Please.
Sorry what do you mean?
A Simple Favor is out now, and apart from wanting to see it just cause it looks interesting, i think it features a rarely seen example of diversity.
Blake Lively's character is married to an Asian man (played by Henry Golding) which is not something you see that frequently. I don't have hard numbers with me right now, but I feel like Asian Woman, white man is the more common pair in tv and movies.
Like I said, I haven't seen it yet, but if the movie makes little to no mention of this, that'll be even better.

Netflix's food show Chef's Table is great, but unfortunately previous seasons have only profiled mostly white male chefs. Luckily the criticisms have been heard and the line up for seasons 5 and 6 are mostly people of color, especially Wo C. The creator seems to be attempting to make strides in inclusion behind the camera as well
Wrong link?
Btw, has anyone watch The Dragon Prince? It just dropped on Netflix and has some really interesting commentaries on disabilities... initially by not commenting at all, it just drops in a deaf and mute character without the need to make a big deal about it, and later on it has a storyline commenting on...well, I don't want to spoil it.
Wrong link? Anyway that's hardly surprising. The idol scene in Japan and Korea is a horrible machine, as we've seen from what it did to Kim Jonghyun.
Huh, they're a hetero couple. I thought "out of the closet" meant they were gay.
Edited by AlleyOop on Sep 15th 2018 at 2:22:45 PM
Oh, from your phrasing I assumed they were a gay couple. This Contractual Purity nonsense is sadly nothing new. At the very least the company is getting a massive backlash.
Don't get your hopes up. That episode has pretty much been destroyed according to the show creator.
