I love this man. He’s a wonderful example of a decent, moral wealthy person.

[ironbite4]

…….WHY DOES HE DO THIS!?  MY GOD THIS MAN IS JUST FUCKING PERFECT!

[lkeke35]

I remember in one interview he said he had more money than he could ever spend in a single lifetime, so he just gives the money away. Outside of random strangers, he also gives most of it to various charities, and only grants himself a small stipend to live on, pay rent, buy food, etc.

[roomba-with-knives-taped-to-it]

So that’s why he’s immortal! He escaped death through the power of kindness

Oh damn

[fwuitgummi]

I really want a shirt that says “Remember Robert Downey Jr. Did Blackface?”

[fwuitgummi]

Move out of the way scarjo RDJ did it first! 😌

[lostoldplanet]

The movie is mocking white actors in blackface, actually. That’s literally the point, it’s making fun of scarjo types

[fwuitgummi]

So you think that this commentary white ppl should be making while still literally doing blackface and profiting off of it? 🤔

[lostoldplanet]

So you don’t like white people calling out other white people for being racist? 🤔

[fwuitgummi]

I don’t think you understand that the man is literally doing blackface and profited from it you think black people want to see white people still doing this shit? Like how did this benefit me when countless people like you are literally saying blackface is ok for white people to do as long as it is social commentary

[lostoldplanet]

Then what would you prefer he do? Shut up and let Scarlett do her thing? Nothing?

Aight im done with the big text off here. This website only does so far and I’m tired of yelling.

Look, if you cast an actor to play a Nazi, show off the swastika, and whatnot, that actor isn’t automatically racist. Why? Because his role in the narrative might be to get vanquished by the good guy.

Is wearing swastikas and Nazi regalia offensive as fuck to my family who were imprisoned, killed, and experimented on by Nazis? Yeah. But if he’s the bad guy, it’s suddenly a movie about Nazis being bad.

If they went all, oh, people in snappy uniforms who say words in a German accent a lot are bad, it wouldn’t have the same punch.

The reverse is applicable with queer coding villains. It was possible to make basically explicitly queer characters in conservative media… As long as they were the bad guys and they got their comeuppance. And it worked. People hate us, and in no small part it’s bexause those behaviors, mannerisms, traits that are quintessential to the greater queer community have been programmed as Bad, Lustful, Wicked, Corrupt into people’s minds.

Why isn’t this the same? The man in blackface is the butt of the joke. They even considered having a black guy in whiteface next to him for added hilarity , but took him out bc they thought it detracted from the clarity of the message.

[netmaiaka-deactivated20190923]

Dude there are so many ways to criticise instances of white actors taking roles of characters of colour and doing blackface is not one of those ways… literally WHY would that ever be a good idea

Blackface is racist, it’s not simply ‘it’s bad because it’s white people taking roles from Black people’, white people have always done it to make racist caricatures, and it can’t be separated from that context

Even if he was intending to seriously criticise people taking roles they shouldn’t in any meaningful way that’s ACTUALLY gonna impact on the industry (which I doubt, considering, yeah, he still works with these people), it’s still racist, and also entirely pointless, because there are far FAR better ways to make that point

There’s absolutely no reason why people should have to look at someone in blackface

[lostoldplanet]

I dunno, it just really feels… Super counterproductive, you know? To criticize someone for the very thing they’re criticizing? It’s… It’s like accusing someone of the same thing they’re trying to show is wrong.

It’s not good taste. it’s not. There’s no argument from me there. But if it’s narratively framed as a thing bad people do, you can’t say the guy framing it as a bad thing is as bad as the guys doing it.

I’m not accusing RDJ of taking a role from a black man, bc in this case he wouldn’t be. But if the horribly racist caricature, which, yes, blackface is inrguably racist, is framed as being as a negative character.

How is this any different from, say, dressing someone up in a swastika so Captain America can punch them? Yeah, the swastika is offensive and racist and, but they’re the bad guys in the narrative.

[lostoldplanet]

Okay, after a really… really, really confusing conversation with a friend on the topic, I think I finally understand the difference.

I was wrong. I’m sorry, OP

Posting anonymously with permission, this is what really tipped the scales for me. Like… Blackface becomes real when you portray it. I guess that’s the onus of what you were saying and I wasn’t getting @fnpoe

[lunaeregia]

it’s crazy how a black person knows more about anti-blackness than you, a non-black person. wild.
