The stuff of journalists arguing that journalism cannot be free of bias (so let’s not ever try it) is nothing new, I heard this stuff since 10 or 15 years ago. I guess people still push back those notions because most people still want neutral and unbiased journalism (even when is not).

There's bias and then there's activism.

What these terminally online fucks do is activism dressed up as journalism. Their editorial "standards" do not allow for balance or perspective. There's an accepted truth and no variation is permitted from that gospel.

looking at the first 5 pages of era, there is an obsession with celebrities, media cultural , hollywood, arts. There seems to be very little outside of that. There is very little technical or photography or discussion of authors and books but just look at the first 5 pages. 60-70% of OT posts are about hollywood, media and actors, it seems to be a very unhealthy obsession

jokes about the movie aside, the leaks most likely didn't do that much damage since the film had a really good opening weekend

the reason why ant man 3 bombed was because people watched it and went "this stinks"
You forgot to mention the online hate campaign against the movie
What hate campaign?

Stuff was being talked about and leaked ahead of time on that sub Reddit for like the last year but the moderators decided now was the time to close it, right after Marvel’s first flop?

That stuff is more likely to be discussed in community threads.


Edit: That being said, the community threads are just as likely to be full of the same delusional and mentally unwell people.

Maybe not for the BO but definitely because of the narrative that knowing how some early cuts played out is generating.

This leaker told us the ending was reworked and instead of Kang winning and leaving Scott and Hope to die in the QR, Kang is seemingly defeated and the duo made it out last second to avoid the redundancy of another movie ending with Scott trapped.

Us knowing these details of production is something Marvel definitely doesn't want and it's working against the film.

Now you have the usual suspects spouting crap about Brie Larson being "impossible" on set and... yeah I can see why they want to nip it.

Quote
Like I'm just sitting up here and thinking about this. Tons of people are going to be playing this game come beta opening, and I wonder if any religious folk are interested in the game or this makes them uncomfortable? What with its satanic imagery and all that?


The reason I ask is because I was raised in a mostly religious household when I was young and I always saw these games and I was so scared of them. It seemed needlessly crazy demonic. Like cultlike stuff. Know what I mean??

So my questions are:

If you practice under a specific religion that acknowledgedes hell/the satanical, does this game make you uncomfortable?
If you are not religious but know or live with someone who is religious, do you feel this game would bother them while you sit up there and enjoy it?
These games are getting so realistic nowadays and I've just been doing a lot of thinking is all.

Thanks.

There's bias and then there's activism.

What these terminally online fucks do is activism dressed up as journalism. Their editorial "standards" do not allow for balance or perspective. There's an accepted truth and no variation is permitted from that gospel.

well, I guess you could argue that reporting on a story which is generally comprised of actual facts/truth is "accepted truth that should have no variation"

because variation in that case would be a lie

their problem is that even choosing to report on one story instead of another ruins objectivity to begin with, it "silences" whatever is going on over there which is un-reported-on

which we've actually gotten to that point a few times where right wing news outlets reported on actual facts that everyone else refused to touch until the story grew big enough they had to acknowledge it, and is it responsible to allow them to set the tone by being the only ones talking about it?

No news outlet can be truly neutral and unbiased, as you've pointed out. Editorial decisions must be made. It's when activism and bias takes precedent over newsworthiness that things start getting sketchy.

Fox News/News Ltd is a prime example of bias taking over completely. The Guardian is another example. Reading the opinion pieces in those publications gets into activist territory.

Most of the blogs and niche publishers are just straight up activism masquerading as journalism though.

Regarding reporting on a story comprised of "facts", what's important in that example is the journalist allowing the facts to determine the story rather than seeking facts to tell a predetermined story.

Basically, bias is inevitable. Journalists should strive to eliminate it as much as possible by seeking out relevant opinions from relevant sources. Activists intentionally bastardise the journalistic method because they have a predetermined narrative and only seek out the "facts" that support it. Low media literacy people are easily fooled by this, especially if the activist narrative lines up with their beliefs.

It's well known that Brie Larson has a horse pussy. That's why you never see her in a skirt. She has to tuck it down her trousers into her boots.

Islam is a peaceful religion that does not oppress anyone because it is a small minority in locations such as Dearborn and Minneapolis. We should all be working to better align our values with the lived experience of Muslims rather than having inherent disregard and dismissing their truth simply because they are not white cishet males. This is not to mention how much Islam has done for the world like inventing universities and libraries and bringing much needed diversity to Medieval Europe. I'm not surprised that a transphobe like yourself would also be an Islamophobe because of your unrelenting bigotry against queer theology.

They have an opportunity here to fix the Asian stereotype and make Short Round more than a gag of the times. I don’t know if Spielberg would be up for that, but I’m down for it!
Yeah, they should definitely put the production back together to film a post-credits scene for this.

I can't wait to get upset that it's just a post-credits scene rather than the main plot of the movie. Fucking Spielberg chickening out of achieving any social justice yet again. Never liked him that much.

This is not to mention how much Islam has done for the world like inventing universities and libraries and bringing much needed diversity to Medieval Europe. I'm not surprised that a transphobe like yourself would also be an Islamophobe because of your unrelenting bigotry against queer theology.

I think one of the modern luminaries of Islamist culture, Ruhollah Khomeini, put it best when he said:

"The efforts of this [Islamic] government will be crowned with success when we become able to destroy the heads of treason, the idols, the human images and false gods" of Western Colonialism.

Now that I think about it though for real, early Islamist writers like Al-e-Ahmad and Khomeini would fit right into current progressive thought cannon. I mean, I'm continually surprised that they aren't more culturally relevant in today's Marxist infused discourse. How long before modern western socialists turn toward the built in values of religion in order to control the lower classes like Khomeini and Al-e-Ahmad did?

EDIT:

I mean, like... for real real, carepost level 100%, how is it that modern anarchists/Marxists aren't adopting Islamist authenticity ideology in order to trojan horse their political views?

Westerners are all stuck in the 19th and 20th century political philosophy meanwhile Islam and Hinduism have adapted and updated Marx and Bakunin for a modern audience.

I think Islam and the Islamic World has done a lot of great work problematizing and queering the white cishetnormative neoliberal values of capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy. The people in those countries are rewarded with spiritual values and real community building through sovereign wealth funds rather than being fed false propaganda about democracy and rights and the "benefits" of work and AI generated art.

I miss the joke?

The joke is I'm too fucking stupid to have an opinion about what Marrec said, even though I know it's obvious sarcasm.  So, like all my moral dilemmas, I'm outsourcing my inherent disregard to a speak-and-spell.  And if you don't like it, FuuuuUCCCkkk OOooOOFFFfff

The stuff of journalists arguing that journalism cannot be free of bias (so let’s not ever try it) is nothing new, I heard this stuff since 10 or 15 years ago. I guess people still push back those notions because most people still want neutral and unbiased journalism (even when is not).
There's bias and then there's activism.

What these terminally online fucks do is activism dressed up as journalism. Their editorial "standards" do not allow for balance or perspective. There's an accepted truth and no variation is permitted from that gospel.

well, I guess you could argue that reporting on a story which is generally comprised of actual facts/truth is "accepted truth that should have no variation"

because variation in that case would be a lie

their problem is that even choosing to report on one story instead of another ruins objectivity to begin with, it "silences" whatever is going on over there which is un-reported-on

which we've actually gotten to that point a few times where right wing news outlets reported on actual facts that everyone else refused to touch until the story grew big enough they had to acknowledge it, and is it responsible to allow them to set the tone by being the only ones talking about it?

I mean, the thing here is the supposition that there's so much ongoing news happening, editorial mandates are necessary to create the lens through which to filter events.
When, to my eyes at least, the rise in punditry as news and editorial gaining as big a platform as reportage is a direct result of the rise of the 24 hour news channel and the need to fill that space with content that otherwise just isn't there.

"A thing happened, here's the facts in plain language" is as close to an objective truth as you can get, but you also only need to put it on a website / newsfeed once.

To answer my own question now that I have thought about it for more than three minutes, western individualism is inherently incompatible with eastern authenticity politics so nvm disregard

Stop being so dogematic to white cishet male ways of thinking and accept that other cultures may have superior ways of knowing the meaning of the universe than your backwards fetishized commodification of "reality" that exists purely to justify exploitation instead of the liberation of humanity from want.

It's true, there's an award winning deeply researched (and not at all completely made up delusional conspiracy theory) book about this:

"JK Rowling knew her fans would be deeply unhappy over her trans views"

Her views being...transwomen are worthy of respect and love, but biological realities should not be ignored since they affect and impact cis women? These people need to get a fucking grip. Do they not know that the majority of people don't even agree with Rowling? The average normie thinks being trans isn't even REAL; they don't even think they deserve any kind of public acknowledgment over biological women. JK Rowling is literally more accepting than the average person on the street.

They can't harm those people (yet) they can (maybe, hopefully) harm Joanne or at least people who like Harry Potter.

It's 2023 lol.
I could understand the "what an asshole" takes for not wearing a mask before the vax came out, but now the mask stuff is just virtue signaling. Even moreso with it being 2023. Wear one if you want to, but I'm not going to wear one at all unless I'm in close quarters with someone who's legitimately immunocompromised.

Not surprised Ree has latched onto this since it gives them yet another meaningless thing to spaz out about and bring up the next time Tilda is mentioned.
