I think BronsonLee nowadays legitimately believes that he is the Flyers mascot.

[paprikastaude]

I think it's fair game to call out what his specific church preaches tho.

Unless it's Tom Cruise for some reason. Who is in a sect, which is something that literally harms people, unlike old ass tweets that might have something like the term sjdoubya in them which didn't harm anyone.

I remember in 5th grade we had a faux legislation debate thing where we were assigned to be on different sides of various issues and I absolutely could not cognitively process the idea. Like, why in the fuck am I being asked to argue in favor of something I don't agree with? Why am I being asked to lie or be a bad person?

Sounds about right.

[Leadbelly]

The euphoria is in that thread

It's honestly hard to believe that there are still religious people given the availability of the internet and exposure to other ideas.

Really? These people preach their far-left ideology with a religious fervere, and yet they don't understand why there are still religious people.

[nachobro]

About that. Can I ask you a question? Let's say the Bible (or specifically whatever part of the Bible you consider that "actually counts", so the New Testament I guess) said gay people should be killed on sight. What would be your opinion on that?

"what if your book actually said to kill everyone, you sheep? checkmate, jesus boy!"

[paprikastaude]

Go into a Nintendo or Sony circlejerk thread of PR preaching, then maybe suggest that their favorite company could improve in one area, and tell me they aren't jumping on you like religious zealots    Though the good thing compared to real religious zealots is that they are just useless manbabies who won't cause any damage from their basement.

They are not asking you to lie, just to see the argument. Is expected that by looking the other side you can also think a counter argument against it.

IDK,  should they really have their lives ruined?  It's not like they wore blackface or didn't kill a guy 40 years ago.

"I knew that killing was wrong when i was 13, they knew what they were doing, so try them as adults and put them in jail for life!"

Thats the line trotted out for every middle-schooler who says the n-word or draws a swastika.

Lots of focus in that thread on rehabilitation and not punitively trying them as adults.  I don't think these people understand how hard it is to rehabilitate someone.  For example,  Liam Neeson is still justifiably under suspicion 40 years after his fateful stroll down that black neighborhood in Ireland.  And that's just racist thoughts.   It's gonna take at least 40,000 years to rehabilitate those kids as murderers.

https://thedickinsonian.com/opinion/2019/02/07/should-white-boys-still-be-allowed-to-talk/

When you ask a question at a lecture, is it secretly just your opinion ending with the phrase “do you agree?” If so, your name is something like Jake, or Chad, or Alex, and you were taught that your voice is the most important in every room. Somewhere along your academic journey, you decided your search for intellectual validation was more important than the actual exchange of information. Now how do you expect to actually learn anything?

American society tells men, but especially white men, that their opinions have merit and that their voice is valuable, but after four years of listening to white boys in college, I am not so convinced. In my time at Dickinson I have listened to probably hundreds of white boys talk. It feels incessant. From classes and lectures, to the news and politics, there is an endless line of white boys waiting to share their opinions on the state of feminism in America, whether the LGBTQ+ population finally has enough rights, the merits of capitalism, etc. The list of what white boys think they are qualified to talk about is endless. Something very few of them seem to understand is that their (ill-informed, uncritical) opinions do not constitute truth. In fact, most often their opinions aren’t even original. White boys spout the narrative of dominant ideologies and pretend they’re hot takes instead of the same misleading garbage shoved down our throats by American institutions from birth.

I am so g****mned tired of listening to white boys. I cannot describe to you how frustrating it is to be forced to listen to a white boy explain his take on the Black experience in the Obama-era. Hey Brian, I’m an actual Black woman alive right now with a brain. In what world would your understanding of my life carry more weight than my understanding? Unfortunately, it is this world, where white men debate the pain of other people for fun and then take away their rights. The second thing most white boys seem not to understand is that they do not exist separate from the rest of the world. You do not speak alone, you speak with the weight of every other white man who has spoken over a woman, erased the contributions of queer people from history, or denigrated “broken English” as unintelligent.  You speak with the weight of policies and laws meant to forever define intelligence by how it measures up to the bros of America.

So, should white boys still be allowed to share their “opinions”? Should we be forced to listen? In honor of Black History Month, I’m gonna go with a hell no. Go find someone whose perspective has been buried or ignored and listen to them, raise up their voice. To all the Chrises, Ryans, Olivers, and Seans out there, I encourage you to critically examine where your viewpoints come from, read a text that challenges you without looking for reasons to dismiss it, and maybe try listening from now on.

Nephente and Elegant weapon: You two are vile hypocritical assholes.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Sure wouls be nice if he was replaced by

1) an actual woman
2) someone with actual talent

This is almost off topic, but I'm actually not a big fan of this mentality -- which I routinely see peddled. Working in Hollywood I definitely feel the growing sentiment that only women can/should write and/or direct female led films (this also happens with any given minority and a minority led film). And while I'm all for there being more female (and PoC) writers and directors, I just really can't abide this weird requirement. Perspective is important and there are definitely people from any group who are not very good at writing characters who aren't whatever they are... but the opposite is also true.

I definitely agree the most important thing is someone with actual talent, and I don't think anyone would actually argue that in the past men have written great female characters and women have written great male characters -- especially when you consider Novels only have a single writer. A big problem right now in this industry is that jobs are being given to people who are very inexperienced and/or not good at all to accommodate this odd logic.

you're a terrible person or somehow oblivious to the thing you're complaining about.
until these minorities are given enough jobs yes they should make certain films/characters because otherwise the status quo continues and the problems they cause continue. apply this to literally most things

novels don't have one writer, there's this thing called editors

fuck you person with industry experience and probably a hatemongering asshole for speaking from that experience.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Its fucked up to treat kids as adults, period.
If you think a 16 year old has mens rea to fully understand the implications of a criminal action, then you also have to accept that a 16 year old has the capacity for understanding for legal activities that they are denied, and should therefore have the legal rights of an adult, and change existing laws accordingly.
Its some bullshit have your cake and eat it to say you have no rights as an adult, but you have all of the liabilities of one.

Anyone making political hay about the skin colour of the victims or the perpetrators is a racist cunt, period. Even if they are a resetera moderator.

[Propagandhim]

why is it always about race with you people? These children deserve due process, no matter what.

Neeson is literally not being put to death by being nailed on a cross, stop exageratting. Liam Neeson isn't a victim; a man was killed and you're talking about fucking Liam Neeson... who went out to kill someone, yet you're defending him. You don't give one fuck about who is killed or targeted or not; you just want to flame some race war bullshit

    

Just had a good laugh thinking about the hypothetical of a bunch of white kids killing a black musician, and Era filling up the thread with sentiments about rehabilitation, what knuckleheads on Twitter will think, and the somber pathos of trying kids as adults.

Sure, but no editor has ever claimed authorship of a work, just as no music producer has ever claimed ownership of a bands music, no matter what they bring to the table.
That kind of role is effectively polishing something someone has created, not authoring it.

Saying "the children shot the musician" is based on what? Did they each pass around a gun and take one shot each? I certainly think there is an issue with these kids trying to take the car as a group, but if only one took out the gun and shot they guy, that makes the others guilty? Do we know for sure whether or not the other kids objected?

I actually, I remember that  music producers having too much control about the rights of a lot of music.

I mean, it gets fuzzier when you have modern 'producers' who are basically the artist making the music, while a vocalist or lyricist sings / raps over the music they've made (which is most EDM), but the traditional production role was never considered the author, even when they were someone like Phil Spector who were huge assholes to the bands they worked with about exactly how their music should end up sounding, and had huge amounts of control in authoring a specific and distinct sound.

e:
OT, but pretty regularly Pete Waterman of Stock Aitken Waterman, the 80s UK pop factory is pretty regularly on UK TV / Radio complaining about royalties from streaming sites, and he always gives the same example, which is how many views Never Gonna Give You Up has on YT, because he earnestly believes its super popular and Google just aren't paying him what its worth, rather than understanding its basically an internet punchline

You should ask yourself why you're out for blood instead of justice before calling the OP strange

until these minorities are given enough jobs yes they should make certain films/characters because otherwise the status quo continues and the problems they cause continue. apply this to literally most things

novels don't have one writer, there's this thing called editors

fuck you person with industry experience and probably a hatemongering asshole for speaking from that experience.

and editors are basically co-authors too.

they would rather have someone like slayven write the script

I and elegantweapon were satirizing the response to these kinds of stories when the demographics were reversed. See the Jussie Smollett thread where people found it unbelievable that a black man could be the target of an attempted lynching by Trump supporters in 2019.

It's just unreal how stupid Nepenthe is.

Followed by Elegantweapon with "my post was satire but actually it wasn't"

My post was satire but the story does sound janky, too.

It's not like I trust the cops or the courts to conduct a fair trail and we already know how the court of opinion and mainstream media is going to use this case, as if they care about the man who was killed.

Is not like you care either, bitch.

Sounds unbelievable to me, I'm going to wait for the full story before being outraged

I agree; something doesn't feel right. Best we wait before judging.

Nephente and Elegant weapon: You two are vile hypocritical assholes.

They're trying to be cheeky in light of the reactions from the Jussie Smollett thing, as if the two situations are at all comparable.

are they? or do they legitimately believe they dindu nuffin and the white supremacist media is just doing what it do?

Given the only reason "gang kills someone" news stories get posted on era is usually so they can pull a "AND YOU WON't BELIEVE THE SKIN COLOURS INVOLVED" in the OP, I can't help but feel some of the posters rushing in were ready to go on a rant

but then felt they had to say something anyway
