>Fans accuse 'Cats' movie of 'whitewashing' black lead actress after trailer debuts

The "Cats" movie dropped its first trailer on Thursday, and the reviews coming in have been mixed.

Now, the Broadway musical-turned-Hollywood live-action flick is being accused of whitewashing its lead actress, Kenyan-born black ballerina Francesca Hayward.

The 27-year-old plays a cat named Victoria and has been given white fur. Fans, who have watched the trailer, claim that the character's fur not matching her actual skin tone is offensive.

"You know what the most impressive thing about the Cats trailer is? They damn cats. They covered in fur. But y'all still found a way to whitewash somebody," wrote a fan.

"Just don't whitewash people. Even if they're playing cats," wrote another.

A user on Twitter wrote: "So how come you can clearly see this is taylor swift/ the entire bottom half of her face is visible, but you wouldn't know the black lead was black unless you knew her already."

"she’s BLACK?!", responded another.

"Cats" is Hayward's breakout movie role. She was previously was the principal ballerina at the British Royal Ballet.

Fans also didn't react well to the bizarre part-human, part-CGI bodies in general. Director Tom Hopper previously said he developed "digital fur technology" to create "the most perfect covering of fur" but social media isn't convinced.

The movie also features Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Judy Dench and Idris Elba and will hit theaters in December.

I don't get it. Do they want her to be a brown cat?

Who cares?
Will anybody watch that shit?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANIMAL FUR COLOR IS RACIST

Francesca Hayward could pass for white, or at least a tanned med if you've seen her in The Nutcracker ballet.
She's also the best Clara I've seen in terms of charm.

Of course they are. Its expected at this point.

I pray to god that a solar storm sweeps across this rotten globe and sends us back to the dark ages

gib qt quadroon gf

that would be nice
i'd like to live in a new vegas wasteland rather than a boring town full of poops who can't speak english

Why the fuck aren't they wearing suits? What's with the unnecessary CGI?

It's a fucking cat

Everyone knows black people have white fur.

>it's a /tvpol/ searches for offended people so that they can get upset episode

i hate furries

This cat and the Taylor swift cat look exactly the fucking same. They should have made one of them a black cat

Remember: the people who complain about this are the same people who claim that race shouldn't matter whenever redhead gets blacked.

you're telling me that I've been jacking off to a NEGRESS

> Faux News
Keep falling for the propaganda, kids.

ALL CATS SHOULD BE BLACK
BLACK CATS MATTER

she has the face of a black you have to be retarded to not see hits

>t. watches CNN

>unironically reading foxnews

lol

>"Just don't whitewash people. Even if they're playing cats,"


Come, Lord, and tarry not.
Bring the long looked for day
O why these years of waiting here, these ages of decay?

people are not complaining about the fur color, they are complaining about some convoluted shit like they whitewashed her features, I don't know, she looks the fucking same to me.

why don't they have cat noses? why do they literally just have a human face

you know you live in a first world very well off country when the nation's people are complaining about color of cgi cat fur

This is also Francesca thread, right?

leave it to the west to make a cat girl uncanny and disgusting

Hollywood, just stop casting black people as anything other than originally black characters fucking please. It’s not worth the bullshit we have to put up with.

Holy fuck. As a 30 something white guy how do I achieve legs like that, specifically the thighs and calves.

White is right.

Not a footfag but I'd lick the callouses off her toes and soles and gladly pay for a pair of her used ballet shoes (ROH accepts donations for buying new shoes for ballerinas but nothing of the old ones I'm afraid).
Loved her in The Nutcracker.

Victoria is literally the White Cat though, she’s been black washed if anything, perhaps these complaining people should just kill themselves.

I can still tell she is a nigger, whats the problem?

black fragility

>if a black person plays a CAT, that CAT must have the same colour fur as their skin tone?

what the fuck are these people smoking.... its like a snow white and grey cat it's.... not even skin tone...

maximum black fragility

>James Cordens cat has black fur, holy shit! What does it mean! b-b-but he's a white!

>"You know what the most impressive thing about the Cats trailer is? They damn cats. They covered in fur. But y'all still found a way to whitewash somebody," wrote a fan.

Holy ironic lack of self awareness

>Everything I can't defend is propaganda!
Oh look, a liberal.

>James Cordens cat has black fur, holy shit! What does it mean! b-b-but he's a white!

It's obviously BLACK FACE because the entire "Cats" production is just hugely racist and needs to be shut down now.

> these people are calling it WHITEwashing?

If anything, it's the other way around, if we're going to be stupid like that and equate the cat's fur to human skin colour, its blackwashing

If they cast a white actor as a black cat people would cry about blackface.

She looks at least 75% white.

hips too narrow
body too athletic

Mmmmmm.... no hubby. If the actress is a black sistah then the cat needs to be black too.

I hope the movie will be success to spit on all the hive mind. Hopefully they will fix technical stuff, because i think there is potential with this, they have hamiltion choreographer so the dance sequences will be great, music is good enough. People complain for gettin Disney remakes all the time, but when something weird, surreal and unique is getting made then hate it because underwhelming special effects. Even the framing for a Hooper movie looks good compared to his other movies.

Leftism is a mental illness.

only in sneed threads because it's the way she goes

But failing that. Whats the quickest method?

How many gay men does the studio think there are that this movie would be a success?

Conservatives say the same thing. All of you you should get together and drink cyanide. Niggers.

> Fans

You mean twitter randos?

Has everyone always been this retarded and social media only gave them a platform to be retarded in public, or has social media made us retarded?

I wonder if there's a market for ballerina leg stretching and flexing videos like there is for muscle girl stuff? Hardworking but struggling ballerinas who aren't really good enough to make it but that still need some extra cash.

Kind of a mix of both, also it's way easier to find the most retarded people if you just want to validate your own views that the entire opposing side retarded.

Wait.. I have a black fur cat..

They telling me i been raising a nigger kitty this whole fucking time????

This, it's actually her character.

LOOK AT THE TOP OF HER HEAD

Well I mean both sides have retards and there has always been retards but I'm just questioning whether or not it has always been this bad. Maybe social media has just given people the courage to be insufferable cunts on the internet.

Yeah I think there's the anonymity aspect like you said plus you can create your own feedback loops.

Conservatives: You fucking LIBKEKS just believe everything the media says!
Also Conservatives: Believe everything their media says

Both.
There's little more damaging to intellectual growth than showing a dumbass that there are other dumbasses that think just same as they do.

>projection

Denial

We've come full circle. Black-washing white animals and then white washing said animal human.

We are truly a bankrupt society now.

kinda cute
no way i'm gonna watch a homosex musical, tho

>hips snap into place digitally
yikes

That's a big part of projection, yes.

>HERE WE GO
>HAA HAA

How many black people in the US ever watched Cats? Or read the poetry book? You could make the entire cast Congolese and it would still be the whitest thing imaginable with zero appeal to black people. Just casting black actors as a few characters because it's 2019 and diversity and inclusion leads to shit like this.

For the last fucking time, the only reason there's so many niggers in media these days is because a bunch of rich kikes want to completely subvert and destroy the last remnants of white identity and pride. They want us to embrace and worship the most savage and primitive of races on the planet - niggers, the only race, next to Abbos, known to have accomplished absolutely nothing throughout the entire course of human history and are without a doubt the most entitled, violent and ungrateful creatures known to man. It was the same thing those fucking kikes did to white man's visual arts by replacing beautiful Academic art with ugly and talentless modern and postmodern trash. Kikes love ugly because they have rotten souls and they want to subvert and destroy everything that is beautiful.

> Shave a black cat. It's skin is black.

Is it?

Do Americans really pronounce faux in such a way thay it seems like a clever play on words?

Just goes to show that the
>Pretty blacks always have white features
Is true

>Who the fuck even cares about this movie?
share holders who want their profits

It’s literally one tweet. Fake as fuck. People keep falling for it.

That's not how Faux is pronounced, it make me so unreasonably angry when brainlet armchair intellectuals try to make this play on words

There's so many levels to this comment. I genuinely can't tell if it's genuine, ironic, a false-flag or an ironic false-flag double-bluff.

I mean, here's the thing
fur are like hair
it doesn't translate directly into skin color

I usually have an eye for mixed people but I would have never thought black. She looks white with Mediterranean ancestry. Maybe a Latin or Middle Eastern ancestor somewhere.

That character's name is literally Victoria the white cat

Gross haha I'm only going for a laugh

She looks whiter than Alicia Vikander.

hghhhhnnnn....sniff.

Would definitely apply pediegg to scrub off corns and calluses. Would definitely help soak feet in ice water, give leg massages and apply tea tree oil to nails.

I thought that was the reason anyone watches Cats in any form.

Bitch looks blacker in whiteface as a cat than she does in real life. The white makeup really brings out her black features.

This is why I don't get the internet autism - this is what cats has always been

Can someone just tell me how long until a sweetheartvideo porn parody of this starring Cecilia Lion in a skintight onesie?

But if they actually made Hayward a black cat people would bitch about that too

>tfw most distopias seem nice compared to RL right now

I may be confusing things, but wasn't there a black/brown cat in the trailer? It's not like they turned every blackie white. Maybe she wanted to be a white kitty
