That's not really the main issue when people complain about these types of whitewashing. How is it whitewashing when the stories are set in a fantasy land that got elfs and orcs? Call it whatever you want. I'm talking about the phenomenon the poster I quoted referenced, where a member of a marginalized group is portrayed by someone who is not a member of that group. IDK if you should call it whitewashing or CA or whatever, I don't really care. My point is just that the main issue people have is not that "only a gay actor can play a gay character", it's rather that the marginalized group is being exploited but not represented. You can agree or disagree with it, but it's fundamentally different from what shnangyboos is presenting as the argument. ...the way it would apply to The Witcher, I guess, is that Hollywood would make a lot of money off of something that is ostensibly Slavic/Polish culture, while not including Slavic/Polish talent in the realization. So I guess CA is the more appropriate term? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:911569320] in There will...
