So nobody's gonna talk about the ridiculously offensive blackface

It's on in a couple of days (we're having a B movie marathon on one of the free to air channels). I'll watch it and let you know how outraged I was.

It's a culture in japan (though I do believe try play it up a little in the film), it's not actually racist...

Did you miss the long thread about it right below?


It's not racist either, it's actually mocking a Japanese sub-culture that essentially puts on blackface and is mocking it by showing the extreme end of the possible lengths one in such a sub-culture could go through. In that sense it's mocking that sub-culture for their ignorant views on race. It also mocks the suicide heavy youth culture, mocks Chinese pollution, etc. Tokyo Gore Police did similar mocking of aspects of Japanese culture in a Robocop-esque over the top way. I know the Japanese and Koreans aren't exactly known for their racial sensitivity, but this is a case where the writer-director isn't intending to mock black people, but mocking those trying to be like them in absurd ways.

In a movie this bizarre? In short, no.🐭

It's a silly splatter movie not meant to be taken seriously, how could you possibly be offended by anything in it? Jesus Christ...

CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre.
