They hate the idea of Dr. Strange being a "white savior" since he's a white man who gets good at "Asian" magic (taught to him by an Asian). Given the lack of Asian leads in films, the lead character needs a race change in their eyes. To them, this would be less stereotypical.

They use the same argument for how Danny Rand be Asian despite him being white is kinda important (He was an outsider growing up in K'un-Lun and came back to America where he was treated as you'd expect for a blonde good looking rich guy.) despite neither one of them being a "savior" of anyone. Iron Fist started out being all about revenge for his father's killer and Dr. Strange fights cosmic horrors in surreal dimensions. Speaking of Fist, shouldn't they be for that since it would technically be showing what "white privilege" is and fits their narrative?

They're tackling Black Lives Matter as well. Although knowing South Park they'll probably come down somewhere in the middle of the issue. Not that that won't trigger The Mary Sue and other leftist exceptional individuals.

Yea they're probably not going to be Politically correct about it if the past is any indication.

Most cultural appropriation claims are bogus, unless your directly pimping out a sacred ritual or tradition for some tacky shit, such as say the rumored plan to re-build the colossus of rhodes holding a coke can.

My God the comments

Before anyone jumps in with "The Japanese don't think this is racist, so it's totally okay" I'd like to point out that the Japanese have a different history and relationship with racism than Americans do. The racism in this impacts Asians in the West because we have to live with the stereotypes and yellow fever this kind of unthinking appropriation perpetuates, they don't (except for the tourists who come along to bathe in the culture and OMG KAWAII and all that). Harajuku is only one facet of an incredibly complex culture and the fact that Gwen Stefani doesn't recognize this after supposedly 'appreciating' the culture for over a decade just makes me embarrassed for her. But of course she doesn't care, because she's never had to.

The culture in questions opinion doesnt matter due to white mans burden.

Wow. This actually doesn't look lame and ridiculous like so many forms of weebery or ameriboo shit.

Maybe because Japanese actually have the hair for that pompadour shit.

You know the thing about male tears being slang for semen?

I don't even want to think about what SJW tears would be.

SJWs wouldn't have a problem with that though because the Colossus was built by white people and white people don't actually have culture.

Ah, the old "all I know is that I have to get mad about something sexist" mindset strikes again. The same site/people that go on and on about how a woman should be able to strut down the street naked and not be bothered, that we should #freethenipple because men's nipples aren't sexualized, that we shouldn't shame women for whoring themselves out now whine about a woman in shorts who's wearing a harness (over her fully covered boobs).

Even commercializing such isn't necessarily bad. It really depends on the context. For example the Japanese use elements of Shinto in pop culture (like Westerners use Greek/Roman mythology) due to the religion allowing such.

There's that exceptional and racist "a person is automatically responsible for the faults of others" line of thinking again.

If something isn't inherently racist, and especially when a race in question doesn't think it's racist either, then there shouldn't be an issue of racism. Thinking that a history of racism can negate that and holding people perpetually responsible for it doesn't support allowing that history of racism to end.

They may think sexualization is only "sexist" when it caters to cis male sexuality.
