I Don't Think You Understand How Tumblr Works

[redbrunja]

It’s so fucking weird when one of tumblr’s sponsored posts shows up on my dashboard, because it’s ALWAYS a big photo of Johnny Depp as Tonto and I keeping looking for the #outraged hashtags #about what an egregious example of white-washing that casting choice is #and how arrogant Johnny Depp was about that #and how terrible that movie looks in the trailer #and how they’re cribbing gags from POTC 1 #that POTC 2 and 3 #already cribbed

I feel your pain.

I haven't seen one of these famed sponsored posts! Am starting to wonder if Adblock is shielding me from this too, in which case I feel like I should send the creators of that a fruitbasket or something.

Got that post on the tumblr app the other day and reblogged and said "Won't be seeing this white washed piece of crap." Was sad to see how many people reblogged/faved it.

Oh Johnny Depp :(

He initially refused the role because he thought it should go to a Native American actor. WHAT HAPPENED

PS: I like your default icon. Very film noir!

Way to stick with that moral position.

Thank you! It's from one of my favorite Keira Knightly photoshoots... actually, one of my favorite photoshoots of all time. It's very noir and just EXQUISITE.

Put "sponsored_badge_icon" in Tumblr Savior, it gets rid of them all :)

Ugh. They showed an extended scene for that movie at the end of Man of Steel, so I picked the moment the clip started to strut out of there with my head held high.

And what gets me is that Johnny Depp KNOWS that white people playing people of colour in movies is racist, but he did it anyway. 'Joining' the tribe being 'represented' in this movie doesn't change the fact that Johnny Depp is a white guy stealing roles that should have rightly gone to a Native American.
