  Just a reminder since people apparently still have this confusion; ghost in the shell wasn’t white washed. The character from book one is described as western looking specifically to be able to infiltrate any country without suspicion falling on Japan.

  We can discuss why they didn’t white face a Japanese person if thats somehow less offensive than hiring for the look of the android body instead of the original body that died of cancer as a little girl, but that seems even more silly than people that had no interest in the series (or anime/manga in general) getting upset about accurate casting.

      The show where the whole point was the character was in a different body and how weird that is?

    You’re right, everyone that doesn’t demand she has sex with a child on screen is a filthy casual. Absolutely absurd of people to base their image of the character on its most popular forms, the movie and anime.

      …if people based their image of the character on either the manga or anime, they’d have an image of a white European woman.

      That is what both the manga and anime describe the major’s main body as, and depicts it the same.

      No idea what the plot is of this, haven’t consumed any version of it, but it feels pretty fucking stupid to respond to something about the skin color of the protagonist by suggesting they should also want a child sex scene. Like, what??

        You’re right, you’d have to be pretty goddamn stupid to gatekeep fandom of Ghost in the Shell by insisting people know and respect the manga details.
