If they want to get offended by little things then fine. But i still feel that they need to be prepared to get called out on it. And if i feel someones over reacting to a said situation, then you bet i'll be the first to call them out.

The thing is racisim and stereo types are always going to exsist. This is a fact that i don't believe anyone can argue. Has it gotten better over the last 100yrs? Absolutely. Will it continue to get better over the years? Absolutely. Will it ever go away completely? Absolutely not. Personally, I think the key to getting away from racisim and stereotypes is not to call complain about every little mi-nute detail, but to..

1- Not bring so much attention to such small, and otherwise dismisabal so called "stereo types" and claims of rasicim and antisemitism. (the jewish deli coment and Isrel deal)

2- Prove to the world that said culture does not represent themselves in that manner (the twins). Do so, and people will less and less accociate that kind of behavior with a said race or ethnic group.

Speaking of the twins, now look what we have..
They are not in the 3rd movie due to all the negative light people have put on not only them, but Bay and Co. To the point where he (along with Paramount and Hasbro)go out of thier way to tell everyone they will not be in the 3rd movie. I liked the twins. But even if i didn't, i'd still want them in for continuty sake. Even if they die in the first battle. BUt we can't even get that.

you make some good points, however, what this movie does is reinforce stereotypes which were dying out. It dregresses, which is what i find distasteful;.

The cartoon depiction in coal black and the twins is scarily accurate, and i feel uneasy that in this day and age, hollywood deems it appropriate. But im not telling you you are wrong, jsut that i feel differently

just check out slytf's reply to see why there is still a need for worry

There's no freaking hint of worry in my post. Why the hell would I be racist against my own race? I just don't get offended by it.

plenty of people ar racist against their own race.

Aint got no love for a geewunner hater who said "I am so sick of hearing this" when I asked for designs closer to G1. I wonder what incarnations of Transformers these fans are loyal to and wonder if they have a Pokemon poster on there wall as well.
