Sort of, just tailor that message closer to MAGA ideology that the "dolls" they should be making are actual babies, when they grow up to assume the proper role of women as obedient housewives, mothers and home-builders.
Sure, but that's only after a girl has first bled and becomes a woman, and thus can be given away in marriage to a suitable husband. Until then, she belongs to her father, who has the right to decide her happiness any way he sees fit.
Republicans: "The lives of Americans would be better if they were less based in slave-labor fueled consumerism"
Self-stylized left-wing: "Republicans said that, so obviously that's about controlling women. Cheap international labor filling the earth with rapidly discarded plastic toys is an important aspect of feminism now."

Just so we are clear. You're argument is ridiculous. Did you notice the races of all the main characters in Thunderbolts? Why would you bring that up when this is clearly evidence that defeats your own overall point?
White people make up just under 50% of the US population. This makes white males making up 25%. Go to IMDB or the site of your choosing, look up ANY year for the top blockbuster. See if more than 25% are lead by white males. Last year was 5 out the top 10. 50%. Deadpool, Despicable Me, Dune, Kung Fu Panda and Venom. If you add white females its 8 out of the top 10. That's 80%. That's way higher than the demographics in the US. Someone told you some stats and you were gullible enough to eat it up. Do some FUCKING research instead of spewing out nonsense
I couldn't care less about race swapping. They swapped everyone to white in the 30s, 50s, 70s and 90s. It's time to swap them to something else. I'm not following old racist people just because your offended
As to remakes, I generally don't want them. Clearly someone does because they keep making bank. I'm probably taking my kids to see the How to Train Your Dragon remake but I'm not really doing that for me. They remade Godzilla, Dracula, Planet of the Apes and the Night of the Living Dead many times. Somebody is watching them. It's just not me. And has nothing to do with what we are talking about. Remakes arent woke or whatever
Here's your problem. Republicans have done their best to reduce US wages. They want the slave labour to be home grown
cute lil tryhard wannabe fascist
I don't know what this Hinckley is, but it sounds like a classy lady.
fucks sake google is such utter fucking shite, tried checking if he someone I seen before at a march and it returns with buttfuck nothing expect the Reagan stalker/attempted assassin John Hinckley Jr and this one solitary related result lol
It's absolutely rich of you to write this, after the "cheap plastic toys are an important aspect of feminism" hallucination.

Oh, that's probably because it's the same bloke. Paints and sells cat paintings too.
You mean the creator of Ghost in the Shell made a ridiculous argument?
I don't really know all the characters in the Thunderbolts without looking them up because I don't really care about Marvel movies anymore. I do believe Taskmaster is in Thunderbolts due to a spoiler I saw and Taskmaster was race and gender swapped from the Black Widow movie.
According to Wikipedia, the US is 75% white from the 2020 census.
Maybe you just shouldn't swap races unless someone of another race just really fits the character.
They make money but in say just 10 years, when someone puts on The Lion King to watch, it's going be the original. So race swapping a character in a remake is not going to have that character live on in the cultural zeitgeist. Everyone will have forgotten Rachel Zegler was Snow White very shortly. Who even remembers that Peter Pan movie from just 2 years ago? But Lilo or Moana will be remembered. That's how you get more diversity into your culture.
oh, huh...ohhhh?!
well with that now in mind, just stumbled onto this curious tidbit of context;
The Known, Unknown Nazi
In 1974, a young photographer came face to face with the man who would try to assassinate the President. Or did he?

I stumbled across these disturbing photos while researching mug shots of John Hinckley Jr. in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library archives. Having never seen them before, I was startled, surprised.
John Hinckley was a Nazi?
https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch...a0-7b85-4d60-8540-48619b91edc4_2336x2461.jpeg
The caption information with each photo was sparse: “John Hinckley in White Power meeting hall holding gun under photo of Adolf Hitler” and “John Hinckley in White Power meeting hall holding gun with swastika.”
“Photographer: Unknown.”
A quick reverse image search led me to these two riveting essays by Donald Carter: “Into the Stormtroopers: Part One” and “Into the Stormtroopers: Part Two.”
Back in November of 1974, Carter was a freshman at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. With a “battered, second-hand Pentax” at his side, Carter set out to photograph Nazis at the National Socialist Party of America (NSPA) headquarters on the city’s south side — an ambitious, and potentially dangerous, school project.
Carter tucked his ponytail into his knit cap, made his way inside and approached the group's leader, Frank Collin, revealing his camera. Collin “summoned his men to pose before the flag for a quick group shot — just like one big happy Aryan family,” Carter later wrote.

Carter then struck up a conversation with another man, a pistol holstered on his hip.
The man posed for Carter, brandishing his gun inches from his face.

Carter shelved his photos, not giving them another thought until 1981, while reading an article in The New York Times about the assassination attempt on President Reagan. Reports began to surface regarding Hinckley's potential association with Nazis. Carter recognized Frank Collin’s name in the article, triggering his memories of his freshman year photo project.
“I took a good look at the images of John Hinckley Jr. in the newspaper and thought, ‘We’ve met before.’” Carter wrote. He dug out his photos from 1974 and starting comparing faces, finding too many similarities to ignore. “When combined with the article linking Hinckley to Frank Collin and the Chicago NSPA, I was convinced I had hit the photojournalism jackpot.”
Carter contacted multiple news outlets, eventually striking a deal with the New York Post, who agreed to do the research necessary to prove the man in his photos was indeed Hinckley.
Why was the Post so reluctant to identify the Nazi as Reagan’s would-be assassin? After news reports mentioned Hinckley’s connection to white supremacist groups, a slew of Nazi photos hit the market, all claiming to be Hinckley. They were wrong, it wasn’t him.
The New York Times even published a photo from the Associated Press of three men in Nazi uniforms from a 1978 march in St. Louis, claiming one of them was Hinckley. They were wrong too, it wasn’t him.
Turns out that the AP, who paid freelance photographer $2700 for the photo, was duped. The AP sent out a kill and The New York Times published a correction, blaming the error on the photographer.
The AP wasn’t alone. Photo agencies Gamma-Liaison, Sygma, and Visions all distributed photos of Hinckley look-alikes. As Jennifer Coley, then director of Gamma-Liason, told American Photographer magazine in 1981, “In the frantic scramble for pictures, there wasn’t a whole lot of concern for accuracy.”1
At least she was being honest.
So, the New York Post, doing their due diligence, showed Carter’s photos to a Secret Service agent, who told the Post that he was “90% sure the pictures were of Hinckley.” But then, the Post showed Carter’s photos to “Federal authorities” who denied the man was Hinckley, “despite the amazing resemblance.”
It gets crazier.
On May 28, 1981, two FBI agents approached Carter with a subpoena and confiscated his negatives of the Chicago Nazis. That was news — enough for the Post to publish Carter’s photos the following day, skirting the issue of making a positive ID.
Bizarrely, the Post published Carter’s photo flipped horizontally — which makes the “young Nazi” look even less like Hinckley, who parts his hair to the right.
So, is that John Hinckley Jr. in Donald Carter’s photos?
Carter believes so, and he makes a solid argument. “I find similarities in the shape of his eyes, despite being slightly closed in the mug shot,” he wrote to me in an email. Here’s the mug shot of Hinckley, taken by the FBI after his arrest, March 30, 1981.

“In most of the pictures of Hinckley and my subject, the right eye is narrower than the left. The larger I made the images, the more similar his eyes appear to me, especially his left eye. I also find the fleshy area directly beneath the eyebrows to be similar,” Carter added.
Here are more mug shots of Hinckley from the FBI, flanking Carter’s photo for comparison.
Below is a cropped version of one of Carter’s portraits alongside an FBI evidence photo of Hinckley the day he graduated from high school in 1973.
Personally, I don’t think it’s Hinckley.
Still, The John Hinckley Jr. Collection, part of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, offers a revealing look at FBI evidence surrounding the assassination attempt.
Like this collection of disturbing Polaroid selfies. The photo of Hinckley holding the gun to his head was released by the FBI and widely published.

Another compelling image I found in the archive is this contact sheet of Hinckley’s two handguns. Hinckley bought the gun he used to try to kill the President for $47.95 at Rocky’s Pawn Shop in Dallas.

The John Hinckley Jr. Collection includes additional photos by Donald Carter within its archive. These never-before-published images were taken that same day in 1974 at the Nazi headquarters in Chicago.

Carter told me he hadn’t seen these photos in over 40 years. “I turned over the original 35mm negatives and was never able to retrieve them,” Carter mentioned. “Despite many calls to the FBI.”
John Hinckley Jr., who was found not guilty by reason of insanity, was released in 2022 after 41 years in confinement.
So, is that John Hinckley Jr. in Donald Carter’s photos?
Don Carter--Into the Stormtroopers

various articles mention ties and brief histories with the aforementioned groups but not in any observable way that confirms or denies solid connection between those shots as of speaking
originally was just gonna post this, before the unexpected historical revelation,.it's kinda capitalism', kinda politics, kinda apocalyptic climate change, bit of everything eh
That would be better for humanity as a whole. What Republican is saying that?
Climate change has not caused any of these recent natural disasters, that channel is so biased.
Verbatim? Probably just me.
The man they started with was only suggesting that the trade moves being made will better the economy long term, but I find it more surprising that so many people oppose tariffs basically because of Trump entirely. Like, cheap trade between the US and China pollutes China, burns fossil fuels shipping, feeds plastic pollution, and enriches largely the wealthy on the exploitation of cheap overseas labor. Yet somehow, the left thinks that disrupting that trade is unthinkably terrible. It doesn't make sense.
I know I'm building a caricature in that comment. Trunkage believes he is spitting facts.
