Iron Fist creator Roy Thomas doesn't have time for cultural appropriation complaints. (x-post from r/ironfist)

Again you're literally calling an old man racist for recalling a word that was very common when he growing up. That's a pretty big leap. It's literally just phrasing.

claims about guy's deep involvement with the show

I mean did you even read the article you're using to cruxify someone? This is literally the first question

How involved have you been with the creation and execution of the upcoming Netflix show?

not at all...All I know about Iron Fist really is what I read in press releases and what I see on the one-or-so bits of tape or film footage or whatever that have been released. There’s somebody who always sends me this kind of thing when he sees it. I didn’t see the costume in there.

nothing about anything he's said suggests the man has played a major creative role in shaping the modern series. And looking at the credits, again suggests that this is a nice thing highlighting the creators more than creative control.

Literally the entire short article says this basic point.

goes to "Oriental" when speaking

or whatever word? I know Oriental isn’t the right word now, either.

still reads as the guy blanking on the generic term and reaching back for older one in absence.


and, again

I'm not happy

I'm unhappy about a lot of things. I don't call everyone I'm unhappy with racist. Don't be pathetic.
