who's your fav sunny cast member??? also i saw a post the other day talking about how charlie day is Problematic as hell and since i don't really know that much abt the cast i was a lil confused aha,,,, do u know abt anything regarding that ? anyway i love your blog adrian ur one of my faves

god it changes on any given day tbh. at this particular moment it’s charlie but that’s just because fist fight’s got me on a bender (if you’d asked yesterday i would have said rob because HE FELT SO STRONGLY ABOUT ANGELS IN AMERICA THAT HE AUDITIONED FOR IT KNOWING DAMN WELL HE WAS PUTTING HIS COLLEGE “CAREER” AT STAKE!!)

anyways regarding charlie being uh..... pretty fucking gross........ i’ve actually had a full-on 2012 “yfip” style post about him sitting in my drafts for a couple months now. the only reason i haven’t posted it is because i haven’t had the time to dig through everything i wanted to dig through to find actual, tangible links (as opposed to my sources being “just trust me on this one.”) that said, i'll just go ahead and copy/paste what i do have written on that post so far to save time:

okay so charlie’s thing i think is that he just…. doesn’t think? like ever? don’t get me wrong he’s REALLY smart but sometimes he tries to make jokes (at least i hope they’re not intended seriously) or analogies and they’re actually really damn unfortunate and gross.

during the press cycle for pacific rim (so mid-2013 or so), he referred to mako mori/rinko kikuchi in an interview as “the asian girl.” which was uh… REALLY fucking gross and racist of him considering mako mori is arguably the true protagonist of pacific rim, has WAY more screentime than charlie did, and the fact that charlie’s character didn’t even exist until the script was revised once or twice. (i have not been able to find a link to this specific interview since i made this post, but god knows i saw it in enough pacific rim callout posts back when the actual movie came out. i can go look for it again, if you’d like.)

also during the pacific rim press cycle, he called rinko kikuchi a dog. this is another one that i remember seeing a lot but, whereas i definitely saw/read the “asian girl” interview with my own two eyes, i don’t remember ever seeing the interview that this one came from. again, i can go look for it for you, but i can’t promise that i’ll be able to find it (unlike the above example, which i’m more confident that i could locate.)

in a 2016 interview with conan o’brien, he joked that he was growing his beard out because they were “doing an ISIS episode” in the upcoming season of sunny. in the same interview he went on to say he “has to stop looking like a jihadist.”

more than anything, i think people are referring to his REALLY disgusting comments made during the pacific rim press cycle when they talk about him doing and saying really bad things. not to say that those are the ONLY bad things he’s done (that post was written before hero or hate crime aired so BOY HOWDY YOU CAN ADD SOME SHIT TO THE LIST NOW) but they’re the ones that seem to stick out the most in the collective conscious.
