Good to know we’re on the same page then. I need to go to work now, apologies to Lady Emily for shitting up your mentions, I promise I just wanted to hate on James

And by the way we’re still fighting for our land. It’s slow and painful and we’re mostly doing it in the courts, but we’re still doing it, and even working to reestablish communal ownership in some places.

We lost the war, but the fight wasn’t just about reservations and treaties. If it was they wouldn’t have bothered with residential schools. The goal was to “kill the Indian and save the man.” They wanted us, the Lakota people, to not exist, as a race or a culture, and despite everything, they failed

If I grew up in that time, where the continued existence of the Lakota was not a guarantee, and saw that 140 years down the line not only did we still exist but we were still doing powwows and beading and reviving our language, yeah I think I would be okay with that

That great! Good for him! Lovely that he said that!
If anything, the above quote should make you extremely suspicious of his support for Palestine, since he clearly has very little respect for the minority groups he claims to care about.

And that’s exactly what I’m so insulted by. I’m one of those dead end suicidal hopeless kids, according to James. The idea that my ancestors would look at me and be so ashamed that they would have fought themselves to extinction instead. Why do you think that’s better????
December 31, 2025 at 2:16 PM
I was a little hesitant to post that quote about the Lakota in your original thread, in part because I’m trying not to be a killjoy constantly playing the race card, but also because these movies are so weird and fascinating and awful in their own right and I’d almost rather talk about that.

Hey please do me a favor and don’t speak on my people? You clearly know nothing about us and don’t care to learn. Also we don’t all live on the Rez.

Where the fuck was James Cameron during Standing Rock? Or Covid? Oh right, nowhere. People don’t wanna engage with contemporary native people, because that means acknowledging we’re still here, we’re still fighting for our land and treaties, and making art and music and living our goddamn lives.

Crazy because that’s not a problem any of James Cameron’s other movies have. Like just from Titanic, how many iconic lines/scenes can you name off the top of your head? Memes aren’t the be all end all but the fact that not one has come from the Avatar franchise is telling

It makes me so sad, because otherwise I know I would love horny fire lady and her sub.

My mission to make this quote from James Cameron ubiquitous is unyielding.
December 30, 2025 at 11:52 PM
Okay I calmed down. Please see Walter Chaw’s review, he is a better writer than me and actually talks about problems with the film, and why Camron’s racist bullshit is inseparable from his self insert fanfictions about Wounded Knee that everyone seems to love

I just… it’s so frustrating to see our issues and opinions get pushed aside, even with movies that are ostensibly ABOUT US. Lily Gladstone was sharing that quote and calling for a boycott back when the second movie came out and no one gave a shit if you weren’t already in the community.

Please fuck off with your condescension. You don’t know shit about our society and stop pretending you know how my ancestors would have felt. bsky.app/profile/p-k-...

My thoughts are here. Don’t have much to add.

The idea that my ancestors would look at all this, and be anything other that proud, that we survived and are still speaking our language and existing on this land at all. Who the fuck is James to say otherwise? Who is he to speak on either of us? I get the sense he would have rather we all died.
December 22, 2025 at 1:59 PM
The genocide failed. We survived disease, eugenics, murder, residential schools, and every other effort to burn us out of existence. We are not a dead end society, we are still fighting for our rights, one treaty and scrap of land at a time, still doing powwows and practicing our culture.

On god I am going to keep posting this quote everywhere until it gets some traction. These movies are horrifically racist TO THEIR BONES and the general inability to recognize that is proof to me that non-natives still dont take us seriously
