i am over the faux outrage from nerds. i do not believe you guys actually care that iron fist is no longer the billionaire white guy, you’re just mad that he’s being portrayed as Chinese now

yes they were!!! generations of asian iron fists and people are mad theyre going back to it after danny rand passed over the mantel? lets be fucking serious for a second
I don't know if I even believe that they actually care about the more generalized "wokeness taking over" issue, beyond the fact that it's just an excuse for them to do the kind of shit they do. They enjoy being mad at wokeness more than they actually care about wokeness itself.
It's so funny because when the Iron Fist tv show was being made I read an article that was taking about how it would be great if they made him Asian because that might lead to a better story than "white boy learns kung fu really good"
To think that some of the fake outrage is trying to claim that the white savior portrayal is "less offensive" than an Asian character taking up the mantel
Makes no sense to me. The title of Iron Fist is meant to be passed along. I don't get why you would get mad about someone else earning the title unless....

If this was an MCU or comics thing, it would still be ridiculous.
But both of those pull a ton of different versions of characters from different multiverses. It's not even canon.
So it's *extra* ridiculous to say "No. Kung Fu Man must be white in every multiverse." And also kinda pathetic
