You know what fucks me up? His birth name is Dean Tanaka. His biological father is Japanese. Strong "pulling the ladder up behind you" vibes.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 94 points 1 week ago

Like all conservatives, he thinks he's one of the good ones. That he's special.

That the leopards would never eat his face.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 51 points 1 week ago

It's a universal trait of the right. You have not lived a full life until a Pakistani taxi driver in London tells you how there are too many immigrants in London.

This would be like George Takei joining ice. After what the US government did to the Japanese American community, you’d think a guy who is of Japanese descent would be more self aware about immigrants

[–] dkppunk@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

They are folks just like the rest of us, some are flat out stupid.

I know a couple of Japanese-American people whose grandparents met and married in US concentration camps during WW2. They are fully in on the Trump train, Musk fans, and happy to see “those people” suffer. If you try to point out the hypocrisy, they just roll their eyes at you.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Not really. Takei was in the camps personally and as such has spent a lot of time using his fame to ensure they aren't forgotten.

Japanese Americans have become ordinary Americans, and so like the Irish Americans, Italian Americans, German Americans, and sometimes even Latino Americans many have learned to sing along with the Anglo Americans as they demand that immigrants get out.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or like how there is a small but fast-growing nationalist far-right party in Japan right now, that is slowly gaining political power in the government as the long-standing traditional conservative party falls out of favor with the people.

You would think the Japanese of all people would understand the dangers of becoming nationalistic and imperialistic again. 😞

All US citizens have a 99% chance of descending from immigrants

Not just a racist but, but one who actually wants to wear the red armband and get one of those cool hats with the skull. An active racist who wants to personally hurt and abuse people of colour

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always assumed he had some Hispanic heritage so I'm surprised this is the thing.

I guess it's like homophobia

That's too bad. I remember liking that show.

But I was a teenager or something, so it might not hold up if I rewatched it, which I definitely won't now anyway.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's the same feeling with Hercules and Andromeda

Fema, after announcing that, revoked it after backlash and claimed it was never an "official" directive, even though it was offically announced by Fema.

Absolute clown car, but probably good enough for the conservatives to fall back in line entirely.

kevin reads script: sees word DISAPPOINTED

on shooting day: yells "DISAPPOINTED!!!"

the director: you were supposed to ACT disappointed

Andromeda wasn’t nearly as good as Hercules, especially after the first season. It just turned into a way for Sorbo to groom young actresses.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I first learned he was a bigot when he got fired from super girl, a show with a cast full of women and trans people. Because he was an insufferable shithead on the set and everyone hated him

When he made the dumb ass statement criticizing James Gunn for calling Superman an immigrant a small part of me wanted to believe he was just actually concerned about the financial future of the franchise and just thought incorrectly that angering bigots would negatively affect the film. But this completely confirms that nope, he's just another racist and bigoted scumbag.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He played Supergirls adopted father on the tv show and was unceremoniously killed offscreen because it was a show filled with women and trans people and Cain was an insufferable bigot on set and nobody wanted him around.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can understand why they cast Cain in that show; Supergirl's cast was filled with people who'd been involved with previous Superman projects. I still don't get why they cast Sorbo, though.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They just didn’t know?

Supergirl predates MAGA, it predates the first Trump presidency. Back then, those people kept that shit to themselves mostly.

FFS… another case of brain damage?

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe? He was never a bright boy. He got by on his body/looks and that can often create its own issues.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Arguably good looks. Sorry but he's no Henry Cavill or Tom Welling. Far from it, to be honest.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He’s no Christopher Reeve.

(Or George Reeves, for that matter.)

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Christopher Reeves

It's just the one Reeve.

Only until I perfect my cloning technology.

Aw, poor wittle Deanie Cunt wants so bad to be relevant. The hair plugs and beard dye didn't fill that hole, puddin'? Fuck off, pig.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He was on a gameshow a while back. He showed himself to be not that smart. That guy from "Castle" rocked it though.

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That guy is Nathan Fillion. He is a treasure. Dr Horrible, The Suicide Squad, Superman, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm always happy when he pops up.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I agree. Dude made wearing jorts and roller blades seem cool back in the day.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That second photo has the same energy as the one of the rock with a turtleneck and a Fanny pack.

Oh, oh that's not on at all. He isn't that guy from Castle.

He's that guy from Firefly. His most acclaimed show, that went on for years (don't check).

His most acclaimed role was Captain Hammer (the hammer is his penis).

he needs the money? Or he just enjoy hunting humans for sport?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Sounds like both.

He’s just trying to get that $50k sign on bonus.

we have a few redhats in our town who every political event throw their trump flags on their lifted dualies and roll coal all over town. I will admit I've been tempted to join ice and give them a good toss, as what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but the extent of me actually hurting people is writing slanderous folk songs about their dangles. Like, that is actually fun and feels good on the soul.
