White feminists who boycotted Pacific Rim because they believed that Mako Mori is a step back in feminism are one of the reasons why I don’t seek solidarity. White feminists don’t understand how significant the character Mako Mori is. Whenever East Asian women are represented in the media they’re portrayed as submissive, China Dolls, Dragon Ladies, Lotus flowers, and Mako Mori is a BIG ”fuck you” to the Entertainment industry that continues to perpetuate these racist stereotypes. But no, you white feminists HAD to boycott the movie, attempting to convince others to do the same and y’all said absolutely nothing about the White washing of Katniss Everdeen, who is a woman of color, and how they prevented women of color from auditioning for the role.
So in the movie Push, there’s a scene where Chris Evans is making out with Camilla Belle and in that scene, he touches her butt. Chris Evans did not want to do that because he wanted direct permission from her to touch her butt and in the commentary, the director, Paul McGugan, called Chris “such a man” for wanting her permission and I think everyone needs to know this story.
