I don’t get how Rey’s skin change is brownface. I get why it’s absolutely disgusting, but her tan didn’t make her look non-white, so it’s not brownwashing unless I’m missing something?

I mean they did decide that a white girl with a careful, aesthetically pleasing tan and a few cute freckles–but not, like, scarred and splotched from the sun–is better than a brown or Black woman. And even the tan and freckles had to go at the first opportunity because being pale is way more important than being consistent! Maybe there’s a better term than brownface, but it’s really racist at any rate.

I hate TLJ and Rian but Lucasfilm making fake tan in Daisy Ridley already was the problem to me, not the tan disappearing. Also someone so pale like Daisy living in a desert for 15 years could damage her skin not making tan like that, they tried to look “realistic” so they should just cast a brown/black woman. I know Kathleen Kennedy obsession for white british brunettes isn’t new but still upset me when I imagine how great could be to brown and black girls seeing someone like them playing Rey

Both the casting and the tan disappearing are problems to me. And yeah, I hate how KK gives lip service to the idea that SW should look like the world but the main always has to be white.

TIL a man in Nebraska is breeding red cows and sending them to Israel in hopes of a pure red heifer being born there; such an event will allegedly prompt Jews to build a Third Temple, which fundamentalist Christians believe will usher in Jesus’ Second Coming.

You did it. You crazy son of a bitch you did it.

Neat.

When you get sick of the world not ending so you decide to take matters into your own hands.

This is also why there’s such a push with American Christians to recognize Jerusalem as the capital and also why they don’t really care about the environment. They’re basically a death cult that thinks they can accelerate the world towards the book of revelation

The Vice President of the United fucking States is a huge proponent of this

It sounds funny, but they are literally trying to use Jews to trigger the armageddon, which they believe would cause all the Jews to die. Bullshit or not, its deeply rooted in antisemitism.

it’s so funny (sad) how many people in the notes are like “THIS ISNT IN MY BIBLE WTF” like have y’all ever heard of Revelations…..how do u follow a book you don’t even know the content of

To everyone who’s reblogged this as a “funny post”, please stop. Here is why.

rey’s tan went from “girl lived on desert planet for years so of course she’s not fair skinned” to simple brownface because of tlj. they could have convinced me of the need to make daisy tanned because of her life if they’d kept it, but they wanted “pure white woman” in tlj so away rey’s tan went and now it’s just another case of brownface by disney. not blaming daisy btw because i know people will assume i am, i’m blaming lf and rian

Here’s Rey at the end of TFA:

And here she is at the start of TLJ, what is supposed to be mere moments later.

An instant-whitening miracle! I didn’t know the Force could do that lmao.
