I would imagine a whole myriad of different reasons, some rational and logical and some bigoted and dunse.

And not to mention, I have seen many many many comments upset about race focused casting (over talent, ability, suitability to the role etc) and then people ask 'why are you complaining about race of gender of a fictional character."

So… they think they commentor is being racist because they actually engage with the subject.

Didn’t he…like… do nothing wrong?

Yet is made fun of… for consentual sexual acts.

America is fucked up man…

I disagree… of course in countries like America you would have some outspoken actual racist n shit…

But the vast majority of people just don’t like casting for castings sake…

Nobody bitches about sigourney weaver in alien… nobody bitches about Denzel playing leading roles cos he’s black, calling it 'woke. ’

Why don’t people call that woke?

Because its obvious. When a project is hiring just to fill a quota, often…it is extremely obvious.

The vast vast vast majority of people don’t care what race, gender,sexuality you are, just as long as those things werent being taken into account when trying to get a job.

Yaknow… basic equal human rights stuff.

‘Going woke,’ is referring to intent.

Are you meeting quotes or actually engaging with race on a substantiative level.

It’s undoubtable that a lot of race casting in recent times has been to appease audiences rather than and honest engagement with reality and irl race relations.

Intent… it matters.

Jfc… Next you will tell me you are surprised it deals with actual philosophical questions and actually engages the viewer in some degree of thought.

Porno theatres?!

Again, are you in the 1960’s?

Lucky bastards…

Why would you need to pay for a cinema ticket, just to hide a kiss without being seen. Is this the 1950s!?

So boring tbh
