Muslimah Media Watch talks about the orientalism in Telemundo's El Clon based on Brazilian O Clone:

Cómo Orientalista: Telemundo’s El Clon, Part I

Cómo Orientalista: Telemundo’s El Clon, Part II

Oh God. Who remembers that soap opera?

En mi casa no habia alma que no la veía. O Clone digo.

Via [personal profile] the_future_modernes: James Cameron, showing his assholery and ignorance know no bonds.

"I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed and they were being killed and they were being asked to displace and they were being given some form of compensation," he said. "This was a driving force for me in the writing of Avatar – I couldn't help but think that if they [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window and they could see the future… and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rates in the nation… because they were hopeless and they were a dead-end society – which is what is happening now – they would have fought a lot harder."
. . .
Cameron also defends himself from accusations of meddling. "I think one of the biggest questions is: 'What is your standing? What are you gringos doing here? What gives you the right to tell us how to run things within our country? It's our problem, it's not your problem.' I get all that," he said. "But North America is Brazil's future. We can come to Brazil from the future and say: 'Don't do this.'


.... Why?

Also, there is a reason why I shouldn't start talking about politics in a shonen manga comm. Because I may die by eye rolling. And for once, I know that the issue with copyright laws is complicated, but really? "Stealing is illegal in any country!" Pfffft.
