Thanks to
zidane for finding that article with KORRA'S FACE and also, KORRA'S MUSCLES. OH YES.
In Hunger Games-related news, racebending.com has found that the media this time has noticed the problematic casting language, some with references to The Last Airbender, Prince of Persia and even the whitewashed Earthsea miniseries.

Hunger Games movie
Feb. 28th, 2011 10:16 amRacist casting call for a movie based on the Hunger Games novels, which star characters canonically described as "olive-skinned with black hair and grey eyes". Casting call? CAUCASIAN. Side note rage: casting call includes "naturally pretty underneath her tomboyishness". Because, you know, being a "tomboy" means you aren't pretty, and being pretty is all that matters.

Jan. 19th, 2011 07:37 pmAU STUFF!
Nepeta Leijon is doing the speciesswitch with the rest of the Homestuck cast!
Nepeta is Equius' less-well-off younger cousin who lives with him because her mom is off travelling the world and occasionally sends her bear paws and shark fins and stuff. Pounce de Leon is her big (wild?!) kitty. She lives in some attic room in Equius' house and paints on the walls. He also made her join the wrestling team because it'd look good on her transcript and she brings home the jockstraps/sports bras of those she defeats as trophies. She wears her own homemade cat ears and tail around all the time because Nepeta is a total furry, but only cutesy stuff. She probably draws a lot of Pokemon fanart when she's not being a cat on the internet.
Jet is from an AU where his village was never burnt down and destroyed and is on the outskirts of some colonies, so Fire Nation troops occasionally come through. In turn, Jet never became angry and bitter and all out nuts. Instead, Jet is now a nice, easy-going guy who practically idolizes his tough butcher mom and whose feelings towards the Fire Nation are mostly "some of their soldiers are real dicks, I wish they'd stop coming in and taking our stuff :/".
