I was reading this article that was complaining about people should be more focused on bringing characters that were originally conceived as POC to the screen than on recasting white characters as POC. 

Which I actually agree with.

But in the same article the writer complained (I’m paraphrasing) “If you cast a black guy as Tony Stark, no one will think of him as Tony Stark, they’ll always think of him as Black Tony Stark.”

I have to point out a big flaw in that logic:

Children.

Everyone in the older generation thinks of Obama as “the black president.” You know who doesn’t think of Obama as “the black president”? 10 year olds. Obama is the only president they can remember. He got elected when they were two.

There are children who listen to Fall Out Boys’ “Centuries” and don’t know they borrowed the opening riff from Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner.” As far as they’re concerned, that’s Fall Out Boy’s riff.

There are children who don’t remember that The Rock was Dwayne Johnson’s wrestling name.

My favorite version of  A Christmas Carol is The Muppet Christmas Carol. I don’t care how Bob Cratchit was written in the original story because as far as I’m concerned, the real Bob Cratchit is a bright green frog puppet that’s my canon you can’t stop me.

There are a dozen incarnations of every possible comic book character. And every vigilante superhero we read about today is based on the original vigilante superhero – The Scarlet Pimpernel. There is no real version, there is only your favorite version. Every version that isn’t your favorite is going to feel fake to you.

But it’s going to feel real to someone.

Haven’t y’all read the post where the little girl doesn’t want to watch the original Annie because “Annie is supposed to be black”?

Also wasn’t Fury white in the original comics? Is there a fan alive who would dare tell Samuel L. Jackson that he’s the “black Fury”?

U kno what???? Honestly?? All jokes side about the Duolingo owl, Duolingo is one of the only language education services I know of that doesn’t charge for the full course and I really think we don’t appreciate that enough in a world where knowledge is severely (and increasing) restricted based on income. I just went through the app store and downloaded every language app I can find, and the only two that didn’t charge hefty subscription fees to access all the lessons were duolingo and memrise. Support free education.

In this house we stan Duolingo

Great advice

i’m sorry but there is no way you could have stopped me from standing on my chair and screeching like a banshee if i saw this live…

“ballet isn’t a sport”

The thing about this is, you can barely see their muscles straining from effort. The effort to keep each other and themselves balanced, definitely, but that guy’s hand is barely shaking. The amount of training and strength and balance to go into this is fucking insane.

Ballet is raw AF

I brought this up to an old lady once and she said “but it’s a single person bathroom I don’t have to share it with other people” and I was like … So are gender neutral bathrooms….

Plane toilets are also gender neutral. I never thought about it until I went in after a bloke.

it’s not the most efficient design, but a lot of people also like being able to have the option to use a private bathroom rather than having to share with other people.

There’s a gender neutral bathroom on my campus that’s just like a normal public restroom. It has two stalls in it. People go in there all the time. Trans folks, people just using the restroom, mixed groups of friends that don’t wanna stop chatting just because their pal got ink all over her hands and has to wash. I’ve been in line in there with a cis looking woman and two cis looking guys at the same time and none of us started any fights or peeked under the stalls. No fires started. The world didn’t end. It never does. People always just do their business, wash their hands, use those stupid hand dryers, and then leave. It’s that restroom that eliminated any thoughts I had about gender neutral restrooms being a bad idea. It’s just a normal restroom. The stalls still mostly hide everything. The only difference is that now you might be washing your hands next to someone of a different gender and if you pee standing up you gotta follow two extra steps (opening the door to the stall and lifting the lid). And that’s it.

There’s absolutely a place for single person restrooms but not all gender neutral restrooms are gonna be like that. And in practice the more public ones really are not a big deal.

When you’re iconic I guess you’re just…. well, Iconic.
