Is always nice to see how insane are the most terrible posters of the site.
From Kyuuji, in that same thread:
"Kyuuji wrote:It's worse. If you really can't find a trans woman to play a trans woman (and you can, if you really want to) then at least have a woman play the role. Having a cisgender man playing a trans woman just works to reinforce transphobic notions that we are men acting as women.
Oh really, you fucking disgusting hypocritical cunt?
Because you and your fellow trans assholes had such a great reaction to Scarlett Johnasson playing a transwoman, she left the role and the film never got made:

You could have framed the thread around “Is it ok for straight actors to play gay characters?” and presented your POV (which is valid) but this whole thing comes off as trying to start a dogpile against *checks notes* veteran character actor Stanley Tucci. It's okay to dogpile on straight people for being stupid blinkered fuckwits.
I always knew Stanley Tucci was a piece of shit even if he had been in Captain America, Kevin Feige probably wasn't on the ball perfectly to know fascists would want to appear in the MCU to boost their brand. It's not surprising looking back knowing what we know now what role he played in Lucky Number Slevin. When somebody tells you who they are, listen.
So not a peep on resetera about the black, trans person who went on a killing spree in Philadelphia yesterday with assault rifles and body armor??
Do those people even care about gun violence?

I'm genuinly curious here and would like some elaboration for discussions sake I will discuss on this that I see absolutely zero nuance for trans roles, vs the discussion of Gay/les/bi. We are at the point in time where we are in the path of genocide. Having a cis person play a trans person, no matter how much they study, can have any feel what a trans life is like.

It’s known. Philly Inquirer is, should I say, “covering up” some of the details about the killer.
The Boston horror house with the dead person and kids locked up and everyone crossdressing with drugs and dildos all over the place ended up just being a domestic dispute.

I know I just did this joke but why is gender/race the only thing to consider here? Like, I bet not a single actor on Grey's Anatomy and ER were ever doctors. No matter how much they study this they wouldn't have any feeling what a doctor's life is like.
This is where you hit like on this post because I didn't go for the MCU and nobody's ever been Iron Man low hanging fruit.

because choosing to become a doctor is not an immutable characteristic of a person's body and existence
now what you should ask is why it's ok for a brown-eyed actor to play a novel character described as blue-eyed

might be surprised, they've shown up as "most popular porn search term" on various US states for years
most recent one, it's west virginia
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) Judging by that graphic, you misread it. It's not a most popular search term in that graphic. It's that West Virginia searches for it more than other states, proportionally speaking, as all other search terms in all other states are compared against each other. That's why there are so many different terms for all the different states, with only a few that are repeats. Seems like they take the national average use of each term, then for each state, check which term in that state deviates the most from the average. No state is gonna have "dirty talk" as their absolute number 1 search term.

But Álvarez also made Evil Dead 2013, which is one of my favorite horror movies ever. And Calls was also very much entertaining. So yeah, like I said I guess I have mixed feelings about Fede Álvarez.
But since I generally like the Alien franchise, I'm very much willing to give benefit of the doubt to him for this one. Let's hope the quality will be closer to Evil Dead 2013.
