Yup. Literary reviews, which certainly incorporates film criticism, are not meant to be buyers guides. Nor should they be.

 

Reviewing as today started as a form of recommend stuff and get exposure. You are confusing Critical Theory with reviewing stuff for magazines and websites.

In a way it's a new type of censorship, you don't like the commentary, you write a bad review despite of quality, only content that will meet the commentary of reviewers is made.

I haven’t seen the movie yet but the consensus critique regarding the commentary is that it’s heavy-handed, simplistic, derivative rather than reflective, and feels like the movie is simply copying the text of Taxi Driver and King of Comedy without grasping the subtext of what those movies were commenting on. That the commentary is carried by Phoenix’s performance but is hollow within the context of the overall film

You are not the guy that shilled for a lot of indie games that didn’t even bother to play?

I think people are getting so defensive over 'the Joker movie will inspire incels' and are missing the forest for the trees.

Isolating culture and context from film criticism is why people don't understand why Black Panther was a hit. The black representation and Afrofuturism, in the context of Hollywood whitewashing and American racism, matters, and it mattered to a lot of reviewers.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/can-we-not-call-objectification-and-sexualization-“fan-service”.140625/

t’s a euphemism for something that does not deserve to be brushed off and belittled. Not every fan of a series wants female characters treated this way and many people that may be interested in a series are pushed away as a result of this treatment. It seems to excuse developers as “just giving fans what they want” and not holding them accountable for their sexism.

What are your reasons for using the phrase “fan service” instead of objectification or sexualization?

“No true fans”.

Wonder what happened in the discords to get RE triggered about all this?

Some Jerk:

Fan service is when something is done as a service to fans. Lets use Dragon Ball Super as the perfect example.

An episode where Gohan doesn't get his ass kicked - That's fan service

Future Trunks returning and getting an entire arc - That's fan service

Vegeta making a speech as he is throwing a hundred punches at an enemy - That's fan service

It doesn't mean always mean something sexual

Mello: This is pretty much what I think of. Shaking ass in front of me aint a service to me lol. I have a girlfriend for that lol.

You think that's what Ebert did for goodfellas or godfather? Made sure you knew that this morals of the plot were bad before talking about the movie itself, if ever?
We are almost in full on hyperbolositic throw baby out with bathwater mode anymore. Anything even slightly offensive is considered bannable. Get ready for book burnings, everyone.

Are you actually serious. Godfella's itself literally spells out that its morals are bad to you. As in it literally says it out loud. You don't even need a review for it.

From Wikipedia:

The Joker is a supervillain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson who first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman (April 25, 1940), published by DC Comics. Credit for the Joker's creation is disputed

Bad look for Pe...

Don't forget to mention that he did say he will be donating to another charity after he's able to properly research.

Guys, people on this very forum are the kind of people that were saying he picked the wrong charity. Why are we suddenly mad at him for choosing a different one?

The ADL donation got backlash because of their anti-Muslim trends/stances. I'm pretty sure that's why he changed his mind. Also, the OP failed to mention that he's still going to donate, just to a different organization.

Oh...

Then RE shouldn’t be happy about this?

Lmao at people in this thread who think PDP withdrew that donation due to being made aware of their stances on Israel-Palestine, and not because the right-wingers in his fanbase went nuclear and started sharing white supremacist/neo-Nazi conspiracies and threatening to unsub.

Gather them up with fellow owners and burn them, or offer to take all tainted copies of the games and go and trade them in for a Resetera Verified good purchase.

[Boredfrom]

They are. You can‘t complain someone is about to do something shitty and when he then decides to not do it, you also complain about that.

Wait you know reasons for actions matter right?

I mean, donating to a “Islamophobic” charity to apologize for a fan carrying a Islamophobic attack seems to be a big mistake to make.

[Tasty]

Nicalis always seemed sketchy to me, couldn't put my finger on it...

Maybe confused them with Nibris.

[HaughtyFrank]

if your comment boils down to "you were mad at him donating, now you're mad at him not donating" you should probably go read a book or something. anything to get those brain muscles working.

When you're so smart you don't even have to explain your contradicting stances

And below it from another user:

he admitted he hadn't bothered to do even the barest amount of research on them. He's clearly just looking for somewhere else to throw his money where people can move on and forget his past behavior while putting in the least possible amount of work.

Is anyone in this thread saying he shouldn't have pulled this pledge? I'm pretty sure he's getting criticism for the fact that he didn't care enough to properly research the ADL, which leads serious issues to his credibility (assuming he has any left) that he says he's trying to become better.

Yes, the person with the most subs on youtube has been cancelled.

Love people using the ""cancel culture"" excuse when someone has done shitty things repeatedly. Exactly what repercussions has this guy faced?

The guy has lost a lot of contracts and he is forever associated with a mass shooting just because some asshole name dropped him. I’m not even fan of the guy and I also dislike he waited so long to make clear he is not thrilled about the mass shooting, but you guys are as shallow and hollow as him.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I guess it's just my experience making this whole thing weird for me. I spent 6 years studying computer science, and it was challenging and rigorous as hell, taking me through calculus, physics, biology, chemistry, computer engineering, and programming. All taught by people who knew their shit. I came back to college to do polisci to help shift my career in a certain direction, and to enter a classroom after all that other experience and have a professor just present weird biased nonsense or let lies float unchallenged is strange as fuck.

I'm very used to the professor being the authority, rather than pretending they have no stake in what we learn. I guess it's a different approach to education.

Imagine thinking political science should be taught like a hard science.

Dude wants to participate in authoritarianism on the downlow.
