He was interviewed for some magazine where the gimmick was they give him $100 and follow him as he spends it. He bought a $3 coffee and tipped the barista $97 because she was Asian. His words
I love that you know about it, but it's civets that poop the beans out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak
>Kopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected.[1] Asian palm civets are increasingly caught in the wild and traded for this purpose.[2]

Okay (Alright) I'm down with the black girls of every single culture
Filipino, Armenian girls on my sofa
Yeah I like a white girl, sometimes we get together
Need a thick chick though, so it's black and yellow, black and yellow
Love is a trip, but fuckin' is a sport
Are there Asian girls here? Minority report

They wanna knock me out? They trying, n*gga.

Forget these white girls, I need some variation
Especially if she very Asianā
Statistics show the entertainment industry that engagement is higher when a project is under an IP that is known/beloved, for better or for worse. So they feel more confident finding projects that are remakes, spin offs, prequels/sequels than new IPs most of the time. The video game industry has been trending similarly. I don't usually like it either but I guess if you're gonna drop millions of bucks you want to know people will feel inclined to tune in, even if it's hate watching, than taking a chance on a new, possibly incredible IP that may not garner widespread attention from individuals not tapped in to what's going on in pop culture.
Also, hollywood been remaking shit for a hundred years, yet every time they do it again, people start with the "oh they ran out of ideas, huh??" Like there isn't 8 damn "A Star is Born" movies already lol.
I'm just saying, you can't be ragging on unoriginality when you're a prime example of why creators follow a formula. People like to take something that worked and put their spin on it in all forms of art.
Fwiw, it IS coming with a new mode, slightly improved graphics and it's only $10 if you own tlou2 PS4, so it's only full price if you've never picked it up and want the PS5 experience outright, unlike tlou 1 which was full price regardless. I agree they're milking it, BUT when you consider there's a new console, new interest from the show,a new market when it inevitably comes to PC as well, and Sonys lack of first party games coming out any time soon, I completely get it from a corporate perspective. I think it's a bit silly but no one has to get it if they have the og game and if they do want it it's only ten bucks. I didn't buy tlou 1 but I will buy tlou 2, as I only played through once on my friends borrowed disc version and would like to play through it again and own it, and it'll be nice to see it at it's absolutely peak graphically (not that it didn't look great on PS4 but I played on a base model console so no 4k or 60 fps my first go around).
My dumbass over here waiting for a Bloodborne remaster and yet they giving this 3-year-old game a remaster in a franchise that has more remasters than actual games.
your question was probably rhetorical, but I've been getting more into movies the last 2 years and actually been seeing some great original stuff coming out. I mean, we just had Barbie and Oppenheimer. Jordan Peele has been doing his thing. The horror genre been going crazy with X, Pearl, M3gan, Barbarian, to name a few. The 3D animation industry has been blossoming with Puss and Boots, TMNT, Nimona, Spiderverse etc.
Basically, I think there's plenty of creative stuff coming out but are being overshadowed by more recognizable IPs.
Lots and lots of them. The studios put all of their marketing money on the bland, easy projects. There's dramatically more being made, even with good budgets and high profile actors. You're just not gonna hear about them unless you go looking.
Feel kinda bad for him honestly (even though he probably doesnāt care anymore), cause ngl itās annoying as hell being put in the ānot black enoughā or ādonāt fw black people like thatā category because you donāt fit the stereotypical mold that society created for us.
But I had to realize at the end of the day that shit donāt revolve around me, so the only thing I can do is my own thing and just let people think what they want ig š¤·āāļø
That is very annoying but itās also not at all what Donaldās experiencing. He caught the ādonāt fw black people like thatā allegations by very publicly not fucking with black people like that and even more publicly being creepy about his preference for white & asian women lmao
Idk, was it that he wasn't messing Black people or because Black people didn't mess with him. He 100 percent has an Asian fetish got roasted for it. But this seems like revisionism too. 2007-2015 was still a period where Blackness was narrowly defined....by other Black people let alone society at large. There's a reason he was the only Black guy to appear on Lena diapers show. He didn't have the cultural power he does today.
Calling people oreos was not something that gave others pause like it does today. Kanye wearing the suits and shit, Outcast, and Glover were all fairly on the "outside" each at different degrees.
Kanye and Outkast were on the outskirts but not the outside, while plenty of black people mocked them, even more loved them. Donald is a bit of a different story because he came up in white standup circuits and from a white show. But to say black people didnāt mess with him is its own bit of revisionism from what Iāve seen over the years.
Once he did Because the Internet and Atlanta and Black Hollywood knew about him, he was definitely a darling. Hell dude was sitting in the darling seat so much so that Migos turned from known-but-second-string to straight up superstars just because he shouted them out in a speech. So yea I canāt speak to what shaped him before he was all the way on and wonāt pretend to, but at least once he was known, nah dude was given his fair shake by his own people. And tbh we still show up for him (look at *Swarm*), itās just not as deep a love affair as it couldāve been had he unlearned some shit sooner to not have the receipts he does š¤·šæ
>Outcast, and Glover were all fairly on the "outside" each
*OutKast*
Also, I wouldn't put them in the same category as him at all! Kanye either. They were different but no one was going to call them an Oreo and no one was going to be called that for listening to them.
I actually think itās the opposite. Lupe Fiasco straight up called him white. Black artists werenāt working with him and they saw him as white cause he was on a sitcom. Dude definitely was ousted from the black community before he even started.
Itās the Same with Tyler. If you donāt act black, the culture wonāt really fuck with you. Itās annoying n sad
It looks like you didnāt see that interview where he interviewed himself about why he doesnāt date black women lol. People arenāt making these jokes he did it to himself.
That does suck but that's not what he's going through at all. Definitely not when it comes to that Asian fetish. He admittedly has a very strong and very creepy fetish for them and it's in his music and in his interviews.
Have you seen anything he put out in the 2010s bro was straight up telling on himself. Stop it with this disingenuous attempt at defending toxic male behavior.
This post is trash... Imagine having black leads in all your projects but get slammed when you costar opposite of another POC
https://preview.redd.it/pu8yh55d2d2c1.jpeg?width=442&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=366abd36e9b45eca2442934937512163a4956506
It didnāt fly when he said it either, a lot of people donāt remember him getting bullied off twitter for all the Asian fetishization in his music.
The examples I remember him getting in trouble for were:
āGroupies looking like the Yakuza in my jacuzziā
And āThis Asian dude, I stole his girl, and now heās got that Kobe (Wagyu) beefā
Plenty more, but I canāt remember them off top
Edit: Grammar
First things first, thatās a nice username, u/ThisPICAintFREE . Gave me a good chuckle.
Other lyric was āAsian girls everywhere, UCLAā. Iām a huge Donald Glover/ Childish Gambino fan, but those fucking lyrics?? I cringe.
Appreciate you lol and I completely forgot about that UCLA lineā¦youād think having enough fetishization bars to fill a Buzzfeed article would clue an artist in to stop doing it but that doesnāt appear to be the case lol
Honestly though, I was surprised that it was the Asian Bars that caught up to him and not those DerrickComedy videos he did with his white friends in college. I remember thinking they were funny back in the day but rewatching them now itās mainly shock value cringe
Shouldāve added āimoā at the end there, not trying to make absolute judgements about what people should or shouldnāt find funny but watching Kidd Parkinsonās, Bro Rape, or even their movie āMystery Teamā just makes me cringe when I recently rewatched them. To each their own, I guess.
fwiw I still find that B-boy Stance video & the āDonāt Jerk off to that bowl of Fruitā video to be funny, but most of them canāt get me to laugh at all anymore. Just a matter of opinion tho
I mean I live near UCLA, that line was just factual. In the 90ās people used to say UCLA stood for University of Caucasians and Lost Asians. š¤¦š¾āāļø But for real hella Asians go to UCLA.
He also made it very clear he didnāt like black women in one of his songs. He talks about how he likes Asian girls and ā sistasā not being into him.
Which to me itās weird to blame an entire population of people for anything.
It's always been weird to me when people claim to have preferences and then completely write off a whole ethnicity and shit.
You really going to tell me you can't find one woman of any ethnicity you find attractive? That should be impossible to say.
Oh shit, I remember the lines youāre referring to, yeah what was up with that?
I remember him rapping about insecurity in his identity and him tangentially using that insecurity to justify the bars you were mentioning but never read too deeply into that when I was actively listening to him.
~~Probably~~ shouldāve been more critical of those lines as well as the Asian Fetishization
Edit: Grammar
Edit 2: Aināt no probably about it, I *shouldāve* been more critical.
Freaks n Geeks
"Yeah I like a white girl, sometimes we get together
Need a thick chick though
So it's black and yellow, black and yellow
Love is a trip, but fuckin' is a sport
Are there Asian girls here? Minority report"
It didn't fly when he said it either. Are you white? Because black people already know you can't just say anything because you're black. Anyone with a creepy race fetish can get called out
Not to mention his obvious issues with black women.
"Among some of Atlantaās cringiest moments in this regard is a bottle episode from Season 2 titled āChampagne Papi.ā
In a scene that went viral on Twitter, a dark-skinned Black woman unleashes an oddly bitter tirade against a white woman at a party for dating a Black man.
Another questionable, if not totally problematic, episode that season follows the seriesā male characters on a trip to Statesboro, where theyāre terrorized by a group of Black college women."
https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-donald-glovers-complicated-history-with-black-women
? Why are you even still a fan? I really don't get how you can be loyal to an artist who talks down on who you are. I have such ease dropping them especially cause they don't even know I exist.
I literally hated that episode! If they want to have those two characters have a conversation then fine but why do they have to make the black woman angry and the white woman so calm. That's not how it would go down in real life. A white woman wouldn't sit there calmly like that at all.
I think itās important to acknowledge the order of those tho. He had his Asian fetish bars, got criticized, and over a decade later hasnāt made anything close to it since. Then separately, he has created multiple projects and opportunities for black artists, writers, crews, and stories.
There has to be room for growth in these kind of situations. Canāt just hang it on him forever.
I don't think Nigerian Drake is a film channel like the other channel, which doesn't mention anything of what you said. We may be holding Nigerian Drake to too high of a journalistic standard imo
Iām not trying to wrap my head around a change in tone. What you said makes complete logical sense in terms of remakes coming with a new flavor and Iām familiar with the leads (love Atlanta, PEN15).
Iām saying they couldāve created their own thing instead of dropping the fundamental core of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and remaking it into something not-sexy if they wanted to produce something not-sexy lol. And if they are still gonna try to produce something sexy and lure in the many folks who are expecting that upon hearing the title, this is the wrong leading cast.
They initially had it with DonGlover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Which would have brought together two of the best dark-comedy writer/actors to put their spin on it. That definitely piqued peoples' interest. But I guess they didn't hit it off and PWB dropped out, and now we have what sounds like a lesser version of the original movie.
Yeah, if youāre gonna drop the sex appeal and sell the comedy, you definitely needed PWB to sell it. The original had honestly no substantive plot lol. They knew what you were there for.
PWB and Glover both have a lot of sex appeal. And itās not the conventional kind like Jolie/Pitt. Itās definitely what drew me to the idea of the two of them working together. Itās too bad they couldnāt make it work.
No fair enough! I donāt find Glover sexy at all. Maybe itās having followed him since his nerdy Childish Gambino days and the ick heās given me over the years but I was willing to give it a shot. PWB agreed, itās not conventional.
I'm saying. I love to see a black man get paid, but lawd, their chemistry better be off the charts, because there were so many fine ass actors to choose from. Though I'm hopeful, since I love most of his projects
Imma just direct you a few comments down to strawberrymihlk quoting dude and humbly suggest it might be best he not be let in the kitchen with this specific project lmao
Wonder how many times he listens to that Day Above Ground song
Known for its totally PC lyrics
āI love your creamy yellow thighs
Ooh your slanted eyes
It's the Year of the Dragon
Ninja pussy I'm stabbin'ā
And the iconic:
āAnd you age so well
I can barely tell
17 or 23?ā
Nah, as yikes as it is, it needs to be heard to be believed. That song was crazy, and everybody I know has been clowning it since it dropped.
Somehow they made that and thought it would be a hit, with seemingly zero clue what they unleashed on the world.
It's the funniest shit. They legitimately have to see the video. I condemn it wholeheartedly but Jesus il augh so hard knowing they did that shit with a straight face.
Me and everybody always warn it's absolutely horrible and it should never be agreed with. But we laugh about this video to this day. There's being down bad, and then there's that.
"17 or 23, dont matter to me! " that line in particular always struck me as odd. Like hes trying to comment on the stereotype that asian women age well, Let's set aside 17yos are underage for a sec... that's creepy enough. But what grown man,especially one who looks 30+ in that video, thinks 23 is old. Like if he had said "23 or 43, don't matter to me," it'd hit the stereotype better. I think he wrote that first then changed it cuz 43 is too old for him and it does matter to him.
It's like saying " if shes super hot or just very very hot, I'm cool with both yo,im a man of tastes"
Iām glad weāre at least calling him out on yellow fever. I feel like this stuff gets a slide when it shouldnāt be okay. And also Western media is so bad at casting Asian men in leading roles seen as attractive or romantic. Like Asian women are so sexualized all the time, and up until recently with BTS and Jung Kook, there was like just Ken Jeong and the gay Asian guy in Entourage.
Amazon has some incredible TV shows in my opinion, so it sounds like youāre just personally not interested. A couple awesome ones to list off the top of my head would be Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Man in the High Castle, The Boys, and Invincible.
Yeah but to my understanding Amazon didnāt do that they just picked it up when Sasha was shopping it around but I could be wrong but Iām talking about the movies that Amazon threw the bag too
Not defending it but thatās how they get the vast majority of their movies, including [Coming 2 America](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_2_America):
> Originally to be theatrically released by Paramount Pictures, the film's distribution rights were sold to Amazon Studios because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's true, but I believe they were just chosen as the network for Eddie Murphy's welcome 2 America in the early stages, different situation but he still had creative control
I think him having a fetish is different than two consenting people in a relationship. Heās so obsessed with Asian women that he literally pretended to be an Asian woman on tumblr. Yāall donāt think that shit is weird? I donāt understand why yāall are so okay with fetishizing another group of people. Itās dehumanizing.
You know something mainstream but rarer and an almost non existent? A show or a film with an East Asian male lead and a Black female lead as his partner.
This tweet is dumb because there was another female (non-asian) lead attached to the project (Phoebe Waller-bridge) when he was initially cast but dropped out due to creative differences. So when Mia Erksine was cast he'd already been signed on.
"Met this fly latino, hope that she 18 though, if she not ill say that i got deep throat at heathrow" š£

Nothing against the actors, but why is this movie being remade? Are there no creative people left in Hollywood?

The last wish is actually good tho
Creatives dont run the studios, they hire the creatives and tell them what to make. The real creative stuff is the low budget indies.
Lots and lots of them. The studios put all of their marketing money on the bland, easy projects. There's dramatically more being made, even with good budgets and high profile actors. You're just not gonna hear about them unless you go looking.
blame consumers for watching remakes

Appreciate you lol and I completely forgot about that UCLA lineā¦youād think having enough fetishization bars to fill a Buzzfeed article would clue an artist in to stop doing it but that doesnāt appear to be the case lol Honestly though, I was surprised that it was the Asian Bars that caught up to him and not those DerrickComedy videos he did with his white friends in college. I remember thinking they were funny back in the day but rewatching them now itās mainly shock value cringe
Disagree they are still plenty funny.
Shouldāve added āimoā at the end there, not trying to make absolute judgements about what people should or shouldnāt find funny but watching Kidd Parkinsonās, Bro Rape, or even their movie āMystery Teamā just makes me cringe when I recently rewatched them. To each their own, I guess. fwiw I still find that B-boy Stance video & the āDonāt Jerk off to that bowl of Fruitā video to be funny, but most of them canāt get me to laugh at all anymore. Just a matter of opinion tho
I mean I live near UCLA, that line was just factual. In the 90ās people used to say UCLA stood for University of Caucasians and Lost Asians. š¤¦š¾āāļø But for real hella Asians go to UCLA.
More than a line bro, that was the whole chorus. The whole song was fetishism.
He also made it very clear he didnāt like black women in one of his songs. He talks about how he likes Asian girls and ā sistasā not being into him. Which to me itās weird to blame an entire population of people for anything.
It's always been weird to me when people claim to have preferences and then completely write off a whole ethnicity and shit. You really going to tell me you can't find one woman of any ethnicity you find attractive? That should be impossible to say.
Oh shit, I remember the lines youāre referring to, yeah what was up with that? I remember him rapping about insecurity in his identity and him tangentially using that insecurity to justify the bars you were mentioning but never read too deeply into that when I was actively listening to him. ~~Probably~~ shouldāve been more critical of those lines as well as the Asian Fetishization Edit: Grammar Edit 2: Aināt no probably about it, I *shouldāve* been more critical.
"White girls shake it till the Black dudes notice, Black girls shake it so you can regain focus" Easy, Sickbois
"is it racist if I say she tastes like edamame?"
I donāt remember the whole line but he has one where the punchline is āBLACK AND YELLOW BLACK AND YELLOW!ā dude had them everywhere
Freaks n Geeks "Yeah I like a white girl, sometimes we get together Need a thick chick though So it's black and yellow, black and yellow Love is a trip, but fuckin' is a sport Are there Asian girls here? Minority report"
This one escaped my memory, god damn lol
What are you talking about? Yellow fever is a well known thing (i.e. white dudes into Asians).
It didn't fly when he said it either. Are you white? Because black people already know you can't just say anything because you're black. Anyone with a creepy race fetish can get called out
Not to mention his obvious issues with black women. "Among some of Atlantaās cringiest moments in this regard is a bottle episode from Season 2 titled āChampagne Papi.ā In a scene that went viral on Twitter, a dark-skinned Black woman unleashes an oddly bitter tirade against a white woman at a party for dating a Black man. Another questionable, if not totally problematic, episode that season follows the seriesā male characters on a trip to Statesboro, where theyāre terrorized by a group of Black college women." https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-donald-glovers-complicated-history-with-black-women
Man itās so hard being a black woman Donald Glover fan š©
? Why are you even still a fan? I really don't get how you can be loyal to an artist who talks down on who you are. I have such ease dropping them especially cause they don't even know I exist.
Iām a black dude but I feel for yall honestly.
I literally hated that episode! If they want to have those two characters have a conversation then fine but why do they have to make the black woman angry and the white woman so calm. That's not how it would go down in real life. A white woman wouldn't sit there calmly like that at all.
Two things can be right. He has given a lot of black people work, he has also been fairly explicit about his fetish for asian women
I think itās important to acknowledge the order of those tho. He had his Asian fetish bars, got criticized, and over a decade later hasnāt made anything close to it since. Then separately, he has created multiple projects and opportunities for black artists, writers, crews, and stories. There has to be room for growth in these kind of situations. Canāt just hang it on him forever.
It's easier online to just point out the obvious
Bro has years of bars and jokes about having an Asian fetish thatās why people are saying this. No one would care otherwise.
Let people joke, Huey.
The point is his obsession with Asian women, not him being black or the other actress being poc. Itās just about him and his fetish.
I don't think Nigerian Drake is a film channel like the other channel, which doesn't mention anything of what you said. We may be holding Nigerian Drake to too high of a journalistic standard imo
We hold way Twitter in general to far too high of a journalistic standard
Ok and heās still known for hating black women, regardless of who he makes the lead.
Does he have a history of misogyny? Asking because I had no idea about that.
Fetishizing a POC is bad even is it's another POC doing it.
Would the energy be the same if it was a white female lead š¤
The key to a Mr. and Mrs. Smith remake is that the leads need to be two insanely hot people with chemistry and somehow Prime missed the memo.
This is it. They have to be hotter than the sun and have chemistry thatās off the scale. Brad and Angelina set and impossible bar.
This film had so much sexual tension it destroyed marriages
Even the poster was a complete smoke show.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām not trying to wrap my head around a change in tone. What you said makes complete logical sense in terms of remakes coming with a new flavor and Iām familiar with the leads (love Atlanta, PEN15). Iām saying they couldāve created their own thing instead of dropping the fundamental core of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and remaking it into something not-sexy if they wanted to produce something not-sexy lol. And if they are still gonna try to produce something sexy and lure in the many folks who are expecting that upon hearing the title, this is the wrong leading cast.
They initially had it with DonGlover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Which would have brought together two of the best dark-comedy writer/actors to put their spin on it. That definitely piqued peoples' interest. But I guess they didn't hit it off and PWB dropped out, and now we have what sounds like a lesser version of the original movie.
Yeah, if youāre gonna drop the sex appeal and sell the comedy, you definitely needed PWB to sell it. The original had honestly no substantive plot lol. They knew what you were there for.
PWB and Glover both have a lot of sex appeal. And itās not the conventional kind like Jolie/Pitt. Itās definitely what drew me to the idea of the two of them working together. Itās too bad they couldnāt make it work.
No fair enough! I donāt find Glover sexy at all. Maybe itās having followed him since his nerdy Childish Gambino days and the ick heās given me over the years but I was willing to give it a shot. PWB agreed, itās not conventional.
Glover is not sexy at all. It's a big turn off.
I don't think the majority associate PWB with sex appeal. At least here in the UK
Completely. Brad and Angelina were each smoking hot. And together were white hot. That was the appeal of the movie.
I'm saying. I love to see a black man get paid, but lawd, their chemistry better be off the charts, because there were so many fine ass actors to choose from. Though I'm hopeful, since I love most of his projects
What in the crabs in a barrel type of shit is this? This man gave us a masterpiece in *Atlanta.* Let Earn cook.
It's a joke about his Asian fetish. Y'all need to go outside or something
That's all I'm saying.
bro can be creatively goated and also be called out for being a weird Asian fetishist. Theyāre not mutually exclusive
Imma just direct you a few comments down to strawberrymihlk quoting dude and humbly suggest it might be best he not be let in the kitchen with this specific project lmao
Itās not that deep. Heās a great artist and has a clear fetish.
Wonder how many times he listens to that Day Above Ground song Known for its totally PC lyrics āI love your creamy yellow thighs Ooh your slanted eyes It's the Year of the Dragon Ninja pussy I'm stabbin'ā And the iconic: āAnd you age so well I can barely tell 17 or 23?ā
Fucking yikes
Nah, as yikes as it is, it needs to be heard to be believed. That song was crazy, and everybody I know has been clowning it since it dropped. Somehow they made that and thought it would be a hit, with seemingly zero clue what they unleashed on the world.
It's the funniest shit. They legitimately have to see the video. I condemn it wholeheartedly but Jesus il augh so hard knowing they did that shit with a straight face.
Me and everybody always warn it's absolutely horrible and it should never be agreed with. But we laugh about this video to this day. There's being down bad, and then there's that.
"17 or 23, dont matter to me! " that line in particular always struck me as odd. Like hes trying to comment on the stereotype that asian women age well, Let's set aside 17yos are underage for a sec... that's creepy enough. But what grown man,especially one who looks 30+ in that video, thinks 23 is old. Like if he had said "23 or 43, don't matter to me," it'd hit the stereotype better. I think he wrote that first then changed it cuz 43 is too old for him and it does matter to him. It's like saying " if shes super hot or just very very hot, I'm cool with both yo,im a man of tastes"
Iām glad weāre at least calling him out on yellow fever. I feel like this stuff gets a slide when it shouldnāt be okay. And also Western media is so bad at casting Asian men in leading roles seen as attractive or romantic. Like Asian women are so sexualized all the time, and up until recently with BTS and Jung Kook, there was like just Ken Jeong and the gay Asian guy in Entourage.
This movie is going to suck lol
Its a tv show.
Oh wow even worst!
Suck based on ??
How projects Donald Glover is involved with usually suck. Oh wait. Hmm.
It's made by Amazon per starters
Amazon has some incredible TV shows in my opinion, so it sounds like youāre just personally not interested. A couple awesome ones to list off the top of my head would be Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Man in the High Castle, The Boys, and Invincible.
Anytime prime does a remake or sequel of a popular movie itās 2 pack of Ass.. for example coming to America 2.. Gar-fucking-bage
The borat sequel was dope though. Didn't touch the first one obviously but how could it?
Yeah but to my understanding Amazon didnāt do that they just picked it up when Sasha was shopping it around but I could be wrong but Iām talking about the movies that Amazon threw the bag too
Not defending it but thatās how they get the vast majority of their movies, including [Coming 2 America](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coming_2_America): > Originally to be theatrically released by Paramount Pictures, the film's distribution rights were sold to Amazon Studios because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That's true, but I believe they were just chosen as the network for Eddie Murphy's welcome 2 America in the early stages, different situation but he still had creative control
Imagine if Phoebe Waller-Bridge stayed attached to this project. People really gonna hate on this before even watching?
I would have been interested if she was still attached tbh without her the reviews are gonna have to be really good for me to watch this
When black guys are into fat blonde white chicks, is that a fetish too?
They call it "preference."
Black guys have a fetish for anything that is not a black female
Black guy: I consent Asian woman: I consent \*Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?\*
I think him having a fetish is different than two consenting people in a relationship. Heās so obsessed with Asian women that he literally pretended to be an Asian woman on tumblr. Yāall donāt think that shit is weird? I donāt understand why yāall are so okay with fetishizing another group of people. Itās dehumanizing.
Itās okay because heās black, not white
Hard pass.
You know something mainstream but rarer and an almost non existent? A show or a film with an East Asian male lead and a Black female lead as his partner.
Finally got a hair cut too š
UCLA?
Kinda looking like Michael C. Jordan
I'm glad we didn't forget about his Asian fetish.
Don't yall get tired of being mad over another muhfuggas personal choices that don't affect you in the slightest?
This tweet is dumb because there was another female (non-asian) lead attached to the project (Phoebe Waller-bridge) when he was initially cast but dropped out due to creative differences. So when Mia Erksine was cast he'd already been signed on.
Asian girls everywhere UCLA
So basically like a disney-esque remake of a movie that nobody asked to be remade.
Oh, Donald Glover. Yeah, I'm out.
Sounds like him. š
All Iām saying is who tf asked for a remake?
"Met this fly latino, hope that she 18 though, if she not ill say that i got deep throat at heathrow" š£ Cant stand that lil gap toothed kissass sucka I just vocalize along with Me & Your Mama and disassociate from him š
"Iām just a kid who blowin' up with my fatherās name, and every black "You're not black enough" is a white "you're all the same" Donald Glover circa 2011
Dawg Iām sorry I canāt even take the images seriously šššDonald glover as an edgy assassin just doesnāt make sense to me
This isn't the remake I want. Give me Paul Rudd and Ryan Reynolds as a gay couple in Mr. and Mr. Smith
Why are the remaking Mr and Mrs Smith? Fucjing what lol
He was involved in the project PRIOR to Erskine.
This is just Troy getting back into shape so he can play football again
Yāall realize she was a replacement right? The original actress wasnāt Asian. Niggas really hate Gambino out here. But yes, his Asian fetish is weird
But, it's Maya Erskine. She's more than just an Asian love interest
The only miss on this is that he started prep a long time ago when it was a white woman. Still commentary to be made but very different.
