Topic	Asians are OUTRAGED over the WHITE-WASHING of a Character in HELLBOY!!!
Syntheticon 08/23/17 11:28:22 PM #6:	TheCyborgNinja posted... GitS taught me that only westerners care about white-washing. Normally I don't care too much if the character's origin doesn't require it or it's incidental to the plot that argument doesn't work here. GitS was about a new shell for an existing brain and not every body that Motoko has used in the Manga (or even the Anime movies/series) has been Asian. Casting Emma Stone in Aloha was just foolish and the movie was terrible anyway so that should have been a lesson for them. Skrein was really good in Kill your friends (not so much in Transporter but those are trashy action anyway) so I get why they'd want to use him but this isn't the right call. --- Mod me?
