He's not even a regular man

Bluesky is just going to town on Dean Cain now.

You know what fucks me up? His birth name is Dean Tanaka. His biological father is Japanese. Strong "pulling the ladder up behind you" vibes.
- Like all conservatives, he thinks he's one of the good ones. That he's special.
  That the leopards would never eat his face.
- It's a universal trait of the right. You have not lived a full life until a Pakistani taxi driver in London tells you how there are too many immigrants in London.
- This would be like George Takei joining ice. After what the US government did to the Japanese American community, you’d think a guy who is of Japanese descent would be more self aware about immigrants
  
  They are folks just like the rest of us, some are flat out stupid.
  I know a couple of Japanese-American people whose grandparents met and married in US concentration camps during WW2. They are fully in on the Trump train, Musk fans, and happy to see “those people” suffer. If you try to point out the hypocrisy, they just roll their eyes at you.
  
  Not really. Takei was in the camps personally and as such has spent a lot of time using his fame to ensure they aren't forgotten.
  Japanese Americans have become ordinary Americans, and so like the Irish Americans, Italian Americans, German Americans, and sometimes even Latino Americans many have learned to sing along with the Anglo Americans as they demand that immigrants get out.
  
  Or like how there is a small but fast-growing nationalist far-right party in Japan right now, that is slowly gaining political power in the government as the long-standing traditional conservative party falls out of favor with the people.
  You would think the Japanese of all people would understand the dangers of becoming nationalistic and imperialistic again. 😞
- All US citizens have a 99% chance of descending from immigrants
  
  According to the 2020 Census, there's probably a good 12 percent of the population who might not care to refer to their ancestors as "immigrants," since they were forcibly brought to the US. I think we should reject "new history textbooks in Texas"-level whitewashing of history.
  But I agree with the general sentiment of your comment. Nearly all of the people crying about immigration had ancestors in another country, probably on a different continent. Some are only second- or third-generation Americans. They don't see the irony.

That's too bad. I remember liking that show.
But I was a teenager or something, so it might not hold up if I rewatched it, which I definitely won't now anyway.
- It's the same feeling with Hercules and Andromeda
  
  Never forget:
  
  kevin reads script: sees word DISAPPOINTED
  on shooting day: yells "DISAPPOINTED!!!"
  the director: you were supposed to ACT disappointed
  
  Andromeda wasn’t nearly as good as Hercules, especially after the first season. It just turned into a way for Sorbo to groom young actresses.
- I first learned he was a bigot when he got fired from super girl, a show with a cast full of women and trans people. Because he was an insufferable shithead on the set and everyone hated him
  
  Given today's news, that doesn't surprise me. Oh well.
- Bad people sometimes manage to do good things every now and then.

Not just a racist but, but one who actually wants to wear the red armband and get one of those cool hats with the skull. An active racist who wants to personally hurt and abuse people of colour
- I always assumed he had some Hispanic heritage so I'm surprised this is the thing.
  I guess it's like homophobia
  
  He was born Dean Tanaka, he has mixed ancestery but is partially Japanese on his fathers side.

When he made the dumb ass statement criticizing James Gunn for calling Superman an immigrant a small part of me wanted to believe he was just actually concerned about the financial future of the franchise and just thought incorrectly that angering bigots would negatively affect the film. But this completely confirms that nope, he's just another racist and bigoted scumbag.
- He played Supergirls adopted father on the tv show and was unceremoniously killed offscreen because it was a show filled with women and trans people and Cain was an insufferable bigot on set and nobody wanted him around.

FFS… another case of brain damage?
- Maybe? He was never a bright boy. He got by on his body/looks and that can often create its own issues.
  
  Arguably good looks. Sorry but he's no Henry Cavill or Tom Welling. Far from it, to be honest.

Aw, poor wittle Deanie Cunt wants so bad to be relevant. The hair plugs and beard dye didn't fill that hole, puddin'? Fuck off, pig.

He was on a gameshow a while back. He showed himself to be not that smart. That guy from "Castle" rocked it though.
- That guy is Nathan Fillion. He is a treasure. Dr Horrible, The Suicide Squad, Superman, Firefly, Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm always happy when he pops up.
  
  I agree. Dude made wearing jorts and roller blades seem cool back in the day.
  
  Man, I've been nervous about enjoying Fillion's stuff since the last few seasons of Castle; with the rumors swirling around about what might have been going on between him and Stana Katic. Sucks, because he's genuinely skilled and hilarious; I love watching him, but I was catching rumors similar to what you hear before certain types of abusive behavior are made public.
  But, it sounds like they just had an insane shooting schedule for that show, and were around each other way too much? Neither one seems to have anything bad to say about the other, nor have I found anything about him behaving poorly from other people. Seems like they were both just badly overworked, and the gossip rags and the internet made a whole thing about it?
- Oh, oh that's not on at all. He isn't that guy from Castle.
  He's that guy from Firefly. His most acclaimed show, that went on for years (don't check).
  
  Browncoats never die.
  
  His most acclaimed role was Captain Hammer (the hammer is his penis).
  
  Don't be ridiculous. He's that guy from Serenity.
  
  Not the guy who played Castle but one of the two detectives under Stana Katic, the white one. That's the one who was on the gameshow with Dean Cain.

he needs the money? Or he just enjoy hunting humans for sport?
- Sounds like both.

He’s just trying to get that $50k sign on bonus.
- That $200 billion isn’t going to spend itself.

we have a few redhats in our town who every political event throw their trump flags on their lifted dualies and roll coal all over town. I will admit I've been tempted to join ice and give them a good toss, as what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but the extent of me actually hurting people is writing slanderous folk songs about their dangles. Like, that is actually fun and feels good on the soul.
- Late one night, slide under a truck, with a #3 drill bit, pop a hole in the muffler. Screw in a zerk fitting. Using a grease gun, add the filling of your choice such as silicone or roofing tar patch.
  
  i wonder what kind of effect transglutaminase would have on a muffler

Wasn’t his grandfather interned in a Japanese concentration camp because of racism? Weird flex Superman
- Yes, his father was also an undocumented immigrant.

is that... is that DEAN Cain?
- Dean Tanaka.
  Since they like dead naming

This elseworld stories about fascist superman were already boring before they became reality.
