Unless we're still talking aout Doctor Who, and you're British. Then it very much is your money, because it's made by the (government-funded) BBC...

Surely you mean... Don't play goy. ;) (I'll see myself out.)

Look, it's pathological for them, okay? If it's got red hair, it must be replaced with a black. I don't know why they do this every single time, but they do.

In their quest for endless remakes, they've simply stumbled upon... (And for those who don't know: yes, that's a real film. A satirical short film, though.)

Removing and altering "racist" lines here and there. Plus a disclaimer in all books, lest anyone think that the publishers condone horrible WrongThink. Can't have that! Just wait. It'll only get worse. It's like... George Lucas and the "special editions". They'll keep tinkering. More edits...

They're worse. Look at their tactics. They don't burn something, they poison it. Warp and distort it to suit their own purposes. And when they're called out on it, they "compromise" by only releasing their poisoned, warped version in addition to the originals. But in a few years, they'll quietly...

A somewhat less profound example of this is Nick Fury in the MCU. Nobody complains about the fact that he's now a black man. Why? Because he wasn't made black because they needed a black guy. They needed the baddest motherfucker they could find, and that was Sam Jackson-- who is black. This was...

Yes, those differences are probably because the isekai thing is Japanese. A Western equivalent will be different, and is different-- because it already exists. What I know about isekai stuff suggests to me that all too often, it's a wish fulfilment fantasy, starring a Badass Normal author...

Fantasy used to be full of this kind of thing, you know. Stuff like Three Hearts and Three Lions and The Fionavar Tapestry, you know. Also, you may have heard of Alice in Wonderland? The Wizard of Oz? ...Narnia?

It's almost like people don't enjoy being patronised by smug, unfunny jackals...

You're only feeding an obvious troll. (Or a blithering moron, but that's functionally the same.) Well, it was PKD, so what would you expect? He was batshit, and it made for some really weird stuff. How muh you like it depends on your tolerance for trippy elements. But nonetheless, he's a...

I'm glad to see there are people who like the Lynch film, too. It's different from the book, but it's really awesome in its own right. As I never neglect to mention: SpiceDiver's fan-edit, which cuts together the different versions and re-edits it all into one film, is absolutely worth looking...
