Via Metafilter: "Akira" adaptation courts white actors

Akira. Akira. The ground-breaking feature-length cyberpunk anime film. For the love of all the little green apples, the main characters are named Tetsuo and Kaneda. You expect me to believe Twilight-prettyboy Robert Pattinson can pull off someone named Tetsuo. What.

And of course, in the comments of the Metafilter post is the obligatory "but anime characters aren't Asian, they're white" bag of bullshit. Okay, you know what? I am going to write that bloody "History of Anime 101" essay I've been meaning to write for years to debunk this asinine, erroneous, and poisonous arrangement. Because anyone making it quite honestly has no clue about the history of animation and should keep their damn mouths shut.

The value of excising the word "impossible" from your vocabulary

I meant to do this earlier, but got distracted. So here's a Three Weeks post that's me being all ranty.

So, I was surfing around on my Network page earlier today, and came across the ONTD_feminism feed. Specifically, this post about an article on an article in the New York Times basically about how my generation (Generation Y, although, for crying out loud, can you please at least use the term "Millenials"? Do not define us by how we are NOT the generation that proceeded us. It is insulting.) is spoiled, arrogant, and generally going to screw things up.

( I'm going to stand on your lawn, and you can't shove me off. )
