Do you think Anime community is not inclusive about women

You're clearly missing the point here. I think that altering the stories to fit a political/ ethical/ moral standpoint is cringe and stupid. I don't know about this persia movie, nor do I care. I only have a problem when works of art becomes re-interpreted just to adhere to some crying assholes.
Who cares if a character is black or white or asian? I don't fucking care about that, why do you automatically think the worst in things? Gee golly, you should take a stroll and take a sip of a nice drink and interact with people outside of your closed off ring.
And stop dodging the question. How does Hermione being black alter the story? It doesn’t. Seems like you’re the one up in arms about shit that don’t matter ^^

The cast of that Avatar film was horrendous.
The bad guys bein middle easterners/indian and everyone else being white was weird af.
It was the same with The Hunger Games and Katniss being cast with a white actress.
And Jake Gyllenhaal as the prince of persia is not even the only instance of real world ethnicities being cast wrong... remember The 300? Persians were played by black actors because all non-whites are apparently the same...doesnt matter if middle easterners are played by black africans, according to hollywood.
Or Brad Pitt in Troy.
Or that third-rate Tutanchamun film, where that Mitanni girl was played by a black actress. The ancient Mitanni people looked very different.
Or native americans being played by people of ANY race, except native americans.
Like, whitewashing is awful but casting actors of any random minority ONLY for the sake of political correctness is just as bad.

Sure. She deserves criticism if she's portraying minorities using negative stereotypes and one-dimensional tropes. I'm saying that if y'all are obsessed with Black Hermione, who was only a thing in the Cursed Child which nobody liked, y'all eat crayons for breakfast.
Still nobody has tried to explain to me how depicting a character as a different race alters the story. Skyrim is a story about Nord freedom and oppression, but you can make the Dragonborn any race you want. Must be forced diversity
In other words, it doesn't actually 'alter the story' as you hysterically claimed. You're just hyperfixated on the colour of actors' skins.

What the hell is a TERF??
Uh, ok. Don’t see what this has to do with anything being discussed here. If you got a problem with that shit make another thread.
I’m guessing you must have some magical insight into directors’ casting decisions since you seem very certain about whether actors are being cast for political correctness or not ^^
Also very interesting that you consider depicting Hermione as Black in one play and exactly none of the movies as political correctness, not the author giving their approval for people to interpret the characters in their own ways. Do you have a problem with people interpreting Luffy as asexual? Interpreting Yamato as trans?
What’s even more interesting is that you consider this author-approved interpretation on the same level as depicting a prince of Persia as a white man when this flies in the face of both the story and the setting.

WHAT? What did I say about black Hermione?!
To answer your questions:
> Do you have a problem with people interpreting Luffy as asexual?
Not at all. I'd approve of that!
> Interpreting Yamato as trans?
Yamato is a difficult case. Could be trans, or could only want to be a man bc of their role model Oden being a man.
