"Do NOT watch Avatar: The Way of Water," Begay wrote on Twitter on Sunday. "Join Natives & other Indigenous groups around the world in boycotting this horrible & racist film."
Begay also said that Indigenous "cultures were appropriated in a harmful manner" to satisfy a white man's "savior complex." https://www.newsweek.com/avatar-faces-calls-boycott-over-accusations-racism-1768217 |

Yeah I’m mad they didn’t find actual blue aliens to portray the blue alien culture
So insensitive |
|
Others have said white actors were imitating Black people, who are blue.
|

It's some people's sole purpose in life to be perpetually offended. I'm immune to it any longer. Sucks for them.
|

Can we just have a strictly segregated society already and be done with it?

Well shit, I hadn't planned on seeing Dances with Space Wolves pt2. BUT now I feel like I should. Or is this reverse psychology?
|
|
Have they said how much $$$$it'll take for them to let it go??
|
|
I wonder if this is some reverse psychology to drum up ticket sales after James Cameron's " toxic testosterone" comments last week..

How about "Do NOT watch this movie because the first one was terrible!"
|

I wasn't planning on seeing it, but now I might, just to spite these douche nozzles.
|
|
The first one was a rip off of Fern gully. Not watching the second either way no matter what drama it stirs. I'm done feeding the beast.
|
|
those aren't black people they are Indigenous Peoples
It's racist to assume all IDs are black |

Of course because WBD hasn't tanked enough
NVM, looks like they don't have any part in this movie. Btw,I didn't buy this is was part of the At&t split. |

So, when you see black women with say, blonde hair, is this also cultural appropriation?
Or is this different? Only when white women curl their hair is it cultural appropriation. Just trying to keep all the BS straight. There are no blue people, unless you count that guy who overindulged in colloidal silver a while back. |
|
Not reading but is it because of the black people? I mean they’re blue but by the hair you can tell they’re black. Lmao.
|
|
It was never about the “movie.” It’s about the message. That message is “you’re a racist.”

Maybe the indigenous and tribal people can get off the internet because they are low IQ savages, nobody should care what they think.
|

Hmm for some reason I hear the Lego Movie song "Everything Is Awesome" in my head, but it's now "Everything Is Racist".
