    I literally quit watching Marvel movies at that scene when Tony Stark kisses his ass. I didn’t realize that that was a breaking point in the moment, but I have never managed to get up even the slightest bit of interest in a Marvel movie since then.

    They were his human bidet for years, and just zero loyalty from this guy.

      I have no idea what you are talking about. Stark kisses “his” ass, what ass is that?

      If you mean Musk, I have no recollection of that.

        Kisses his ass?! How about “was dismissive and borderline rude”. If anything was to make me feel sorry for Musk, that scene was it. He’s like a pasty little kid running up, “Mr. Stark! Mr. Stark! You’re TOTES my hero!”

      So that little girls of color get to see a protagonist that they can relate to. White shouldn’t be the default and Snow White’s whiteness isn’t actually a defining characteristic of hers. It’s inclusivity, not white erasure.

        Snow White’s whiteness isn’t actually a defining characteristic of hers.

        Here’s a quote from the (translated) original German tale: “[A queen] had a daughter, with a skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony, and she was named Snow-white.” That’s pretty much her definition

        Are you absolutely sure that "Snow White"s whiteness is no defining characteristic of hers? I mean sure, change Ariel or whoever, but “Snow White”?

          This is a new level of blatant and boring racism. If someone has a surname of brown, do they need to be non white? Weirdo shit.
