Having a sad day but the person I want to talk to about it is having a sadder day and so I’m telling Tumblr.

Racism can take on many forms, including consistently skewing a brown person’s words and intent in the worst ways possible and presenting it as truth.

Take a moment to ask, “Why them? What made them specifically the subject of their disdain, to the point where they are writing multiple pieces on the matter, when there are many equally popular and more problematic people?”

What makes them different?

You know what it is.

Idk how to properly articulate this but stripping Thor barenaked in chains for female leads to gawk at and eat popcorn or whatever as he’s chained against his will (and have it played for laughs) is not a win besties

When Chris expressed his discomfort at going shirtless in Rangarok, saying that he isn’t just a piece of meat), Taika’s response was “yes you are”.

And who wrote and is directing Love and Thunder? Oh right. 🙃

Crazy ain’t it

@redemptiionss

Here’s a good image of that.

And if someone wants to say it’s fake, here’s video of Taika saying it himself.

But the simple reality is that this is the reality of Hollywood. It’s a haven for scummy people, and yet people still financially support the industry at large.

Rage. Malice, even.

It is absolutely clear he’s joking if you understand even the first thing about Indigenous humor, Kiwi humor, or just humor in general and I feel like I’m losing my mind seeing so many people interpret this out of context and in the worst way possible.

Especially when Taika is well known for exactly this type of humor.

Especially, especially when Taika followed this by saying the DVD bonus footage was just four slow motion hours of this, and Chris said he didn’t have a problem with a shirtless scene, he just didn’t want it to be the same type of scene as before.

It’s wild because you people know this Indigenous man is not oppressing this white man. You know that Taika and Chris Hemsworth are good friends and were before Ragnarok even happened. You know that Chris only wants Taika as the Thor director. You know all this, and still this.

Pay attention to this. The continual bad faith attacks and obstinate misinterpretation of humor of the world’s most successful Indigenous man (one who dedicates his career to amplifying Indigenous voices) is violent and telling. I’m sure there are a myriad of problematic things about him, but in this instance when the joke is this clear, one has to seriously question their motives.
