"James Bond slammed for 'reinforcing negative stereotypes' with pock-faced baddie."

 

TV’s David Baddiel wrote online: “I note the trailer keen to show off new levels of diversity for Bond, all good.


“But one thing that will never change in this kind of storytelling is: people with facial scarring – people who do not conform to conventional facial attractiveness are villains."

 

Another said: “Please stop using scars to denote so many of your villains. Yours, a person with scars.”

Just me who thinks he has a point? A person with scarring or deformities can no more change their appearance than a person with dark skin. It can't be much fun for them to see people like them being stereotyped as villains. 

Suspect it's got something to do with his backstory no? Bomb blew up in his face or some shit, rather than people with spots all wanting to take over the world.

Aye, I have a good few myself due to operations and shit, going to have a few more on my neck/head by the time I shrug off shingles, luckily kily the ones on grid are small and add to my refined good looks.

Anyone would think he is either now over-compensating because of this, or he only gives a fuck about minorities of which he is part.
