For those foreigners who don’t understand why this drama is controversial, here’s some context.
The webtoon it is based on has been boycotted by many Korean women for years due to its misogynistic and racist content. (to continue)
i feel so bad for actors like jacob anderson and myha'la herrold because they do such great work only to be critically sidelined in favor of their white counterparts despite being the ones who made their respective shows popular in the first place
Top N.A. draft prospect Gavin McKenna joins @GinoRedaTSN to discuss what the journey was like to get to this point, how he would handle the pressure in Toronto if he is selected first overall by the Leafs, and the story behind the tattoo on his forearm: https://t.co/7ZIpA103kN
Gavin McKenna has a tattoo that pays tribute to his grandfather, Joe – a cabin in the mountains in the Yukon Territory near McKenna's home in Whitehorse, along with a moose and a wolf, honoring his Indigenous roots, which trace back through his grandfather.

not enough people talking about how the first indigenous player to be drafted first overall in the nhl is going to be drafted DURING national indigenous history month. that is so so so very cool
😭 and they called fans delusional for 1) noticing the disparity of marketing and promotion the between seasons now that the lead is white; 2) worrying the black co-leads who helped build the viewership for the show and the show itself is getting decentered.
I think the point everyone is missing here is that if the top 4 people here each gave up a fairly negible 1.25% of their share to carve out a 5% crew pool for 50 non-union crew members not covered here, each crew member would get $12,780... a really significant amount of money!

Gavin McKenna says he’s excited to play in a big market like Toronto, not shy about the pressure, saying he’s dealt with it his whole career. While it might be even more extreme in Toronto, it’s nothing he’s not prepared for.
Also saying that when John Chyka visited his home in Whitehorse, if you told him as a kid that the GM of the Leafs would visit, he’d “be pretty pumped.” 💙🥹
“I’m honestly excited. I think I’m confident in my abilities. With the Toronto market, obviously people think the worst of it and think if you’re doing bad, it’s hard. But I’m trying to do good, so if I’m doing good, I think it’ll be pretty amazing there. It’s nothing I haven’t dealt with. I’ve kind of had it from a young age. Especially this year, I kind of figured out what it’s like to be under the spotlight, and obviously Toronto might be a different breed, but it’s nothing I’m not prepared for. I’m hoping for the best, so I’m just going to try not to listen to all that.
If you told me when I was a kid that the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager would be coming up to Whitehorse, I’d be pretty pumped. So to get to meet him and get a feel for what the Maple Leafs would be like and sell yourself in a humble way, we’re all very honoured to have him there.”

below the line crew earning $300/day (or acting as unpaid volunteers) on a production while sharing in none of the $200m profit of a runaway b.o. success*is* actual exploitation, even if it's normalized in the industry.
Interview with the vampire is not the first show that started with a black lead or poc leading then once they got a white lead they switched and upped their marketing strategy but it's disgusting to see how obvious AMC is.
I know he’s a team player but Jacob Anderson should have quit this show. They pretended that show didn’t exist for two seasons and fans themselves had to market it and tell everyone how good it was, and now suddenly all the marketing dollars and activations are there.
