Wait... you have to look at this from an outsider's point of view -- expand your horizons a little.
This is how it looks like from our side of the table:

For contrast, this is the original video:

Even for someone who's as anti-PC as I am, this is still pretty cringeworthy.
Even if Kusanagi can "look like whatever she wants" it still bears repeating that she has a Japanese name. If they want to westernize it, why not change the name?
Because they want both the recognition and star power -- they want both, and people can see that this is a product of greed.

If you want to watch it, go ahead -- the rest of us will tell others to not go see it.
I don't like scarjo, and I don't like it when studios do these things because they think we'll pay for it.
We won't. In fact, the opposite will happen.

So by all means, support the movie -- we're going to ask everyone we see to ignore this because it is, in our opinion, a blatant cash grab.
Yes, every studio out there hypes up star power -- but we're living in different times now, and this studio could've taken a stand and hired a talented actress that was still under everyone's radar. They could've defied convention and showed that at the very least that they had integrity, if not a recognizable actress.
But they didn't. Because they want money.
The protesters know this, and we're refusing to give them any.
You can't have it both ways.
