White female leads in movies are not at all groundbreaking.

White women need to stop this lie. Yall have been included in, and have been starring in everything since the beginning of cinema.

Call me when Native American women and men are featured as stars in TV shows and movies.

Call me when we see Western Asian people portrayed as anything other than terrorists.

Call me when we see East Asian women playing roles that aren’t Dragon Lady, China Doll and Tiger Mom speaking broken Engrish.

Call me when Asian men are romantic leads PERIOD.

Call me when Latin@ folks aren’t maids, gardeners, thugs or spicy Latin lovers.

Call me when we actually see Black women getting to show the fuck up in science fiction and fantasy as leads as BLACK WOMEN and not painted or cgi aliens.

White women on the screen are not groundbreaking. Yall are the status quo.

Bringing this back because they would literally spend millions to make technology to make a white woman “look Asian” than actually hire Japanese actors to play the fucking part of a Japanese person.

White women leads are NOT REVOLUTIONARY. They are just as complicit in white supremacy as white men.

If I have to continuously be subjected to movies where perfectly shaped thirty five year olds play high school freshmen, then I want the reverse as well.

I demand they begin making movies where 45-50 year old characters are played by 14 year olds, but it’s not a plot point. Like, everyone just acts like it’s normal.

let’s be honest though, millennial hate is totally a thing rich folks started because they’re pissed that we have really unpredictable consumer habits and it isn’t as easy to get us to buy into stuff, so they’re mad we aren’t just money giving/traditional economy supporting machines like they expected us to be

like look at how much millennial hate articles are things like “millennials aren’t eating cereal and it’s hurting the cereal industry” or “millennials aren’t buying houses and that’s bad” or “millennials #1 utmost priority isn’t trying to make as much money as possible” and rich folks are mad about it, so just posturing our unpredictability/nontraditional values as “laziness” gets everyone else on board the hate train in some weird attempt to collectively subdue us
