Also, why the upsetetti over Huxley? Brave New World actually a utopia as far as they're concerned or something?
Even some of the people who helped cancel the biggest monsters of all—here’s looking at you, Weinstein—believe there should be limits to the movement, as Ronan Farrow explained on this week’s Inside the Hive podcast. “I think cancel culture with respect to words and not actions, is by and large quite silly,” Farrow said. “I think people should totally have space to ask dumb questions. I think there’s plenty of terrible and criminal behavior that is absolutely worthy of cancellation, to use that framework, without us running around canceling all of the people who said the wrong thing and then said, Oh shit, sorry, I didn’t mean to say that.”

I wouldnt allow this with my students but we do talk about privilege and minority students to vocally speak out against white privilegeHowever “fuck white people” is overly hostile. Someone once said “i wish all white babies were aborted or killed” and u can see how that is clearly inappropriate and makes white students uncomfortable. Its flat out disgusting and hatefulHad to call out that student and I set boundaries on the language when it targets classmates

After all the "savages" are not part of the "perfect society"/utopia which basically had gene-breeding-selection to try to get diseases/etc. out of the pool.(I read Brave New World in HS)

They talked about how their two viewings yesterday were the 38th and 39th time they watched it I don't think I've seen my favorite movie 25 times, let alone about to do 40.Just arrested development much like the rest of that board. Plenty of 4-7 year olds watch the same movie over and over again, and that's where they are mentally.

(Image removed from quote.)I'M FUCKING HOWLING!EDIT: Since people keep quoting this post without looking for context, and since having to explain jokes is always fun: this is a direct quote from that Hard Drive parody article about JK Rowling being a transphobic trash posted above. It is not an actual interview of JK Rowling, it is the Hard Drive making a joke at her expanse, because she is quite infamous for adding unnecessary backstory to her Harry Potter characters years after the entire saga was done and over, just to make it look more progressive and inclusive. Anyway, now it's all explained, please laugh along with me, because that article was really delivering, Hard Drive slapped hard as hell, they clearly shouted "TRANS RIGHTS!" and I love them for it.
Quote from: DelphineDidn't think I'd have to make that edit because apparently people don't pay enough attention to what I was answering to in my post, but in any case, I added an edit explaining the joke (always a fun thing to have to explain jokes, gotta love that)! Let's hope it'll make things clear enough.Try to do it without the passive aggressiveness next time.

How are we supposed to talk about men's health and make meaningfully progress towards less toxicity when the discussion devolves into crap like this.
You can't talk about it on resetera.Period.
I’ve been playing FF13 for some fucking reason... it respects my time less than any game I’ve ever played. Fuck yes, give it to me harder lightning-chan

Who made the music for the game, and why are they not famous by now?
I'll be honest, I never heard of this guy either...had to google and yeah I did like Monty Python and the Holy Grail... but I can understand why most of RE wouldn't know who he is...

Repost from the OT thread to at least bring a little bit of positivity to world. Lord knows I am prone to fall into overt negativity lately.-------------Saw the movie this morning.As far as analyzing a film within the backdrop of all others films created since the invention of the motion picture, all the critiques are correct. The plot, full of holes. The pacing, incredibly too schizophrenic. Carrie Fisher, much too forced. The fan-service, in your face.But for someone who has grown up with Star Wars since the beginning, this is not just "a film". For someone who has consumed virtually every piece of EU material since Splinter in the Mind's Eye, this is not just "a film". For someone whose very way of life -- the hobbies they chose, their approach to popular media, the lens through which they view the world, their notion of good versus evil -- has been influenced by Star Wars to a greater degree than any other artistic creation, this is not just "a film".The Rise of Skywalker is an incredibly flawed movie, perhaps even objectively mediocre, but having waited 40 wonderful years for the story to end, I find myself asking for nothing more at its conclusion. I have an indelible smile on my face. I am a Star Wars fanboy now and for ever more. I am content.Thank you Mr. Lucas.
literally get a life
Yea, that's the issue, this movie really has nothing to say, which is a HUGE shock to the system after TFA and TLJ. Like, those films had such clear and powerful messages.
User Banned (1 Day): Antagonizing other users over a series of postsQuote from: sweenyshitidk what your consistent trend is of picking on and harassing literally everyone who has more fun than you, but I truly am sorry that your fav series that panders to racists (and truly just any straight white who complains enough, but in the aftermath of the Tran abuse, hard to ignore the racism is tops there) wound up being the dullest film of the month on a month a new Clint Eastwood-directed film released. Meanwhile, I will see Cats a third time before Xmas day regardless of what you and the other Fun Police (*pictured at the end of the post) here desire. Continue to be mad if you wish because there's certainly no limit to that; leave my quotes, tags and notifications out of it going forward 🍵(Image removed from quote.)lol

The one positive I have to provide here is my closest theater wasn't even half full for ROSWhich, considering it was early-evening on a weekend and technically the second full day a brand new Star Wars film was available for the public here to see, seems noteworthy. Even with all the many valid criticisms to have about this one, I didn't think it'd be enough to not result in sellouts here for at least the first weekend, but we didn't even have one for a showing so far and it's been very easy to get tickets for if you want to see itAnyway. Actual film.

They're just cowards. And this was cowardice top to bottom in damn near every decision put to screenBut hey: I saw Cats last night and I'm seeing it two more times before Xmas, and I'm proud of it.
