Finn Jones is a heterosexual actor, most famous for portraying the homosexual character Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones. That, my friends, is why they call it acting. The actor can pretend he is something that in reality he's not. But don't tell that to social justice warriors who freaked out when he was cast as the main character in the comic book-based show Iron Fist.
The series, which is original to Netflix, is about a white man who is proficient in martial arts.... which means that Jones - who is white - is sensibly cast. But liberals are upset because they believe the storyline is insensitive to Asians. White people knowing about a traditionally Asian skill is offensive, they insist. Plus, they accuse the actor of stealing roles from people of color.
Jones is rightfully proud of all the hard work he put into the role. On Instagram, he wrote, "a lot of hard work and love went in to this thing and I'm very proud of what we've put together." On Twitter, he wrote, “It’s important we stay unified and focused. When we are divided and distracted from the real issues, we lose power. We should be celebrating and building bridges between cultures."
But then, the leftists struck. Heatstreet reports:
“Please don’t make assumptions on our show before you have seen it. The characterization of Danny Rand (the main character) may have remained true to its source material but our show incorporates and celebrates actors from all different backgrounds.”
“I will go as far to say that it may be one of the most diverse shows out of the three,” he added, referring to other Marvel shows like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Daredevil. Most of Luke Cage’s cast is black—but aside from Shades, members of other ethnicities only play bit roles on the show.
Jones was promptly inundated with outrage over his “insensitivity” and “whitesplaining.”
I think Jones will be happier now that he's off the cesspool known as Twitter, now that he's gotten such an eye-opening dose of liberal intolerance.
