It takes approximately .5 seconds to click the source link yourself fam. Millennials are ruining the rick rolling industry. Okay, but why are y’all using the very real issue of whitewashing as part of a “haha, I fooled you” joke? The reason people are falling for this is that Asian characters really do get played by white actors all the time. This really isn’t an unrealistic headline and this joke is in poor taste. Fuck you op for preying on the very real and valid fears of marginalized people for a stupid ass joke that ain’t even funny. Was it worth it you fucker?? Did you like scaring ppl who are afraid that their history, their childhoods, their own identities would be bastardized just like it has been countless times before? Cheap shot op. Dirt cheap. Also fuck the ppl on this who are giving ppl a hard time for being tricked. Like it’s not the most believable thing in the world that Disney would cast white ppl in non-white roles. People who get “scared” because they’re too retarded to do their own research when the link is right damn there deserve it tbh. Also calm the fuck down you high-strung looney. Get off Tumblr and go outside once in awhile.

The big link doesn’t link to anything, it redirects tumblr to a redirect so it continually loads. The x is kind of hard to see. But also, fear mongering for a joke, no matter who is being fear mongered, is a very shitty thing to do. Especially with a very real issue.

How would you like a headline that said “Trump to send police to all houses to shoot anyone with “too dark skin””? Or “Trump recreates camps from Hitler’s blueprints”? Even if it then links to rickroll, I bet you wouldn’t like that, would you?
