Marzgunt: Queen of Hashtags (and fabricated outrage)

[Guest]

I heard Marz and her husband are going to cosplay as those two fat bearded twins who rode around on the tiny motorcycles.

Embrace the memes Marzy. Cosplay as Lankey Kong.

[Venomous Masculinity]

That'll go about as well as Mundane Matt embracing his platinum album.

She effectively helped conveince a lot of tokusatsu subbers to not sub current Sentai or Riders because the main producer did something sexist or some shit and the German-Japanese actor of the new Rider used to do blackface.

Because if there's one thing that's not problematic at all, it's probably old Showa-era tokushit.
I mean, whenever a Showa series needed some vaguely brown natives for a more exotic episode, they would just use Japanese extras (because anything else would be too much work for a weekly series aimed at kids).

Presonally I don't a flying fuck about what Showa did, you can't expect them to import niggers just to show African people(hence why Battle Kenya was just Kenji Ohba ) but they could do that for whites either(hence why the rest of the J.A.Q.K. were also nips ). Heck, even in the Godzilla films they just used extra-tanned okinawans as "totally hawaian people and blacks you gaiz". That said, Marz didn't raise a shitstorm over Showa-era things, she raised it for current day stuff because that's what she heard about. You can't expect Marz of all people to *GASP* do some research on the things she's talking about.

Heisei is also not exactly better. Gekiranger had a weird Christmas episode featuring a North Korean diplomat and his family, all of whom were white. I literally have no idea why they insisted on North Korea here when the actors where obviously American or at least Australian.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SANTA ISN'T JAPANESE AND KOREANS AREN'T WHITE?

I think Showa-era Toei didn't use many white people because Tsuburaya had dibs on them or something. Even the first Ultraman had three different ones.

Not really true, white actors were just very rare in Japan. Most whiteys in japan were usually just some high ranking jobs instead of the entertainment industry and back then actors in general didn't have much covered regarding salary, agents etc compared to today. It's part of why it kind of became a tradition to start at a tokusatsu show and then climb upwards instead of being already famous and then going to a toku show like Renn Kiriyama did for Kamen Rider W.

J.A.K.Q. has Mitchi Love, who was half-white, half-Japanese. I think Sonny Chiba discovered her.

It's pretty difficult to find gaijin that are 1)fully fluent in Japanese, 2)fully intelligible without a strong accent, 3)able to fucking act. If you can't do all these things, you're too much trouble for a director to deal with. That's why gaijin are usually relegated to guest stars and bit parts.

I don't think there's enough work for gaijin talent to make a decent living. I think most of them just do it part time and work regular jobs as English teachers or whatever.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

It's hard to find quality gaijin, but it's all worth it at the end.

Yeah, nowadays that's what's going on though you have some more veterans popping up from time to time, like Robert Baldwin :



Which becomes hilarious when you realise that TOEI hires him to do the stereotypical gaijin antics and accent yet he was fine in his earlier projects with TOHO He did bust out the occasional gaijin speak but not much.

It's also due to a lot whiteys wanting to start with big movie projects instead of gong through small dramas etc like most actors in japan do and the directors already don't have any patience for them young whippersnappers with their Lines and mobile games and shit, they won't spend their day arguing with baka gaijin who has even less of an idea of what's going on than your average 19 year old actor over there. Some others just want to be singers and they can't either.

Surprisingly, most whiteys nowadays just do translation jobs or whatever the fuck these retards do :



EDIT : NINJA"d by Shinken Brown. Arguably Kaminari's greatest role.

Most of these gaijin entertainers don't have very long careers. I think for many, the pay isn't consistent enough to make a career. And also, I think the Japanese just get sick of them after a while, especially if they get too old.

Here's a French-Canuck complaining about how the Japan entertainment industry got tired of her act.
