Or maybe ultra high contrast is just cool filter for the kiddies today? 

Never forget what they took from us.

This is going to turn into a situation where someone, somewhere down the line, decides to release the movie to a streaming service and the Reeeeeseterans decide that it MUST be the greatest movie ever made and convince themselves that a steaming pile of shit is great just because it's got a non-white male lead. Then it will be deemed to be racist to criticise said steaming pile of shit movie and many bannings will ensue resulting in much activity in this thread.

I mean Griner did break Russia law on the eve of the Russian invasion, and while we can say she is unjustly being held as a political pawn. It's also worth pointing out how many thousands of Americans are currently in jail for similarly bogus charges because of our own system and that was she not a celebrity that the media has chased headlines around, she very likely would not be currently considered for such a trade.

And you can't just go into another country and break their laws, let alone Russia, let alone Russia on the eve of it challenging the West completely. That was always like the golden rule of traveling to Russia is be smart, be careful, don't give them an excuse to target you. And yes, by being a celebrity she was already in the crosshairs, but that makes the possession even more foolish for her. Again, the punishment is unjust for its length of time and there might be times in which the Embassy can work these things out, but often times people who get caught in Russia do have to serve time on stuff like this even in the best case non war scenarios.

And now Russia may possibly end up with someone dangerous released out of that mistake, and that's always going to bother me. Either she was horribly misinformed about the nature of things there or she downplayed the risk for any number of reasons and now we're in a fucked situation trying to find an exchange.

how about you go fuck your self you fucking asshole

You know what, I'll genuinely apologize for my earlier post in a moment of general frustration aimed at the fact that many international people and organizations were ignoring warnings of Russia's ramp up, potential invasion, and collapsing geopolitical front to continue operating in Russia as if nothing would happen or would impact them while those in Ukraine for weeks were watching years of work be liquidated and people jettisoned in mass from the country including myself as the invasion turned likely. And I'm being an entirely unfair and frankly an angry bastard about that. That's not right of me to do on any level.

That said, I've also lived in Russia before and people can make all kinds of inferences they want, but I am serious when I say it's always be a known reality that you do everything you can to minimize risk as an international, especially as an American with any connection to a wider audience or officials. Because it's been a known quantity for years that the "laws" are just theoretical ideas that don't apply when you're a higher value target of local and national enforcement. And no, that's not fair at all, but it's a system a lot of people have had to navigate and it's also a system where I've seen and heard of people failing to take it seriously only for it to blow up in their face. Because as a high profile person in Russia, the law is whatever they stand to gain by enforcing their creation on you. See Navalny and others who have watched laws completely change around them for the Russian state to operate in its preferred way around them. And every time people haven't taken those realities seriously, they've created nightmare scenarios for the Embassy that sometimes work out, and other times don't because again, the law is built around maximum gains for the Russian state.

We don't know the true specifics of what went down and to what degree Russia decided to make this reality happen. They could have planted evidence absolutely, that's well within Russia's modus operandi and relatively low on the list of things they'll do for a perceived gain as we've seen in the past 20 years. And they will absolutely continue to hold her as long as they hope to either extract something tangible from the US, or just make the US look bad and create tension over her being held. She's likely not coming home any time soon even with some potential prisoner trades being pitched. It's absolutely unjust and unfair to her and everyone else being held under similar circumstances, but it's also deeply unsurprising for the Russian state to operate this way (in spite of whatever people will read some textual law that Russian authorities don't even know or care about in the first place, I fail to see what bringing those up achieves given again people should know better about how Russian law works with international people at this point). I will also remain frustrated around Marc Fogel and others not getting any attention they deserve.

Back to the 70 year old Asian beat down
https://www.resetera.com/threads/70-year-old-asian-american-attacked-in-san-francisco.614940/page-2#post-91046340

Again if Era can't even see the micro agression racisms then no wonder the asian community left.

I really don't think that's what they were saying at all. I'm pretty close to 100% certain that the point was that racists don't really bother trying to figure out *who*, exactly, they are attacking with their racism, because what's really important to them is hating on people they perceive as different. My son's mother is Chinese (I'm white), and my son and his half-siblings have been on the receiving end of some incredibly racist verbal attacks by people who are too stupid/apathetic to even understand who they're attacking. My son has been called slurs that are used to denigrate Latino people, my stepdaughter was once called a slur used to denigrate Japanese people, etc.

Racists don't really care if the southeast Asian person they are attacking is of Chinese heritage, or Japanese, or Laotian or Thai or what, because they hate all Asian people and don't really give a shit about details. When Trump and Republicans started calling COVID "the China virus" or "the Wuhan virus" it gave these racist fucks an excuse to openly hate (more than usual, anyway) on ANYONE of southeast Asian descent by lumping them all together as "Chinese".

Which is why it's always so baffling to see people say "they got attacked and they aren't even Chinese."

Or, as the original person said, without any malice I'm sure, "they're worried for their safety and they aren't even Chinese." It's kind of like, okay, why even tack on that last part? Every time someone feels the need to highlight the distinction in what kind of Asian you are (not Chinese is the most common one recently), especially in a topic about anti-Asian hate crime, it's always a bit like....why? Why does it matter in this context? Isn't anti-Asian racism the problem? Why does it matter if they're not even <specific Asian ethnicity>? Again, don't feel like the poster had any bad intent when pointing out Asian people he knew were worried for their own safety even though the racists "knew" (supposedly) or were "supposed to know" that the Asian people weren't the Chinese kind of Asian, but another kind of Asian. But, it can make you wonder why that's important to even bring up. Why would that even matter? If they *had* been Chinese, they'd also still be worried about their safety. Would it somehow be less notable? Less of a problem? More "understandable"?




Also not related to above, but do we *really* need posts in *this thread* about how racist Asians are? I mean seriously, why spit in the river of your grandma's blood from your ivory tower. What possible purpose does that serve.

What the hell do people need to do at this point for others to not fucking misgender them when it's literally the first thing in the OP in a huge font? Even calling them a dude/guy/man is clearly misgendering, y'all. There's only so many times you can brush off shit like this as a mistake when it's been front & center in every fucking thread about them so far.

If it's the case of „I don't respect people's pronouns if they're a bad person" then fuck that shit, because even absolutely vile trans people like Blaire White or Caitlyn Jenner shouldn't ever be misgendered as it just makes you a transphobe if you do. Similarily you wouldn't hurl racial or homophobic slurs at a person if you think they're a piece of shit, would you? Because all it does is make you look like a piece of shit yourself. I'm not saying y'all are transphobic, just talking about how „I don't respect people's pronouns if they're a shit person" (if that's what some of y'all think) isn't the right thing to do. Please just use they/them pronouns for people who use them the same way you use he/him or she/her for others, it's not hard.

you right, I edited

I'm really sorry, I got quite heated and upset reading this thread and just posted without thinking. I honestly forgot that they went by they/them pronouns when replying. It's not on and I would never intentionally misgender someone but I'll make sure to do better.

Have edited my original post with the correct pronouns.

They (the reset mods, not Ezra) know people don’t read OPs and merely react to the thread title, and the thread title doesn’t contain Ezras pronouns so who’s really at fault for the accidental misgendering?  Oh nevermind, accidental misgendering never happens and it’s always done with the intent to erase trans folx from existence.  Just funny how sometimes a mistake is ok and sometimes it isn’t, all depends on the level of mod protection one possesses I suppose

For such a 'progressive' forum there is certainly a regressive attitude to mental illness.

It's almost as if Etika never happened. I'm seeing the exact same lack of apathy that I saw back then... until Etika died.

If anything happens to Ezra, I don't wanna hear any of that "thoughts & prayers" mess, because we're just gonna roll back around to the "...this you?" finger pointing.

And then STILL nothing gets done.

can you do me a favor and fuck right off with comparing Etika to this rich white criminal who is continuously evading any justice for the crimes they committed?

They always act like nobody knew who Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America were. These weren't small budget movies being created in obscurity that "film studios didn't care about", Marvel got $150-200 million budgets for all of them but the first Iron Man at a mere $140 million. Avengers was well over $200 million and that was established before Thor and CA even came out and probably before they knew the returns on Iron Man 2. This was all before Disney got involved too, Disney bought Marvel in 2009 but didn't take over the films until 2013. There had been hype about Marvel producing the movies themselves instead of licensing out since they announced they were switching to that rather than licensing in 2005. This wasn't a crazy idea, Warner and DC were in the same company since 1972. Every DC movie they've probably seen except the Adam West Batman one wasn't a licensed out movie like Marvel had been doing before their bankruptcy. Marvel had licensed out basically all these characters before, some of them even got films like Hulk and Captain America, they just had licensed them to pretty shitty companies who would pay cash.

This wasn't a crazy idea, Warner and DC were in the same company since 1972. Every DC movie they've probably seen except the Adam West Batman one wasn't a licensed out movie like Marvel had been doing before their bankruptcy. Marvel had licensed out basically all these characters before, some of them even got films like Hulk and Captain America, they just had licensed them to pretty shitty companies who would pay cash.

Zaslav teases a 10-year plan for DC going forward. Not gonna release any film that isn't ready or won't make them the success they are expecting. #BLACKADAM, #SHAZAM, #THEFLASH, mentioned amongst titles that are still coming.

 

Let it begin.

I'm kinda worried the impact he will have on diversity with the leads of these movies.

Gotta release the film with the literal abuser and pedophile and write off the film with the POC lead

It will be very white, that’s quite obvious. Superheroes are for MALES and reality tv is for FEMALES, after all.

Give me WW without Gadot. Put Batwoman, and Supergirl back on the slate, fucking cowards.

"Protect the DC Brand"... from minority heroes.

Watch how they'll give another movie to Snyder and his team of hack writers

This is a going to be a very white universe.

 

MCU literally blew up with the B-tier heroes that film studios didn't give a shit about because of their cultural status.

 

Yeah, Iron Man. That B-tier hero.

Iron Man was a B Tier hero until his film come out. The dude was flanderized to being a right wing stand in for super heroes during the OG Civil War comic.

Of course, RE is acting like They anticipated Batgirl and Supergil films for years 

…the MCU that blew up with a bunch of straight white males in the lead roles?

Not just that.

First one a rich cishet white womanizer.

Second one a norse god. We all know who were big fans of norse mythology.

[benjipwns]

Well at least they haven't slapped anyone on camera yet.

Nepenthe, you know better. They are a white, cis-passing person. The slap would have been treated like a funny joke.

we'd have to have a round table discussion if they had

C'mon man. How are they still on the run? Ezra's that famous?

They're white, rich, have guns, and have targeted Indigenous people. That's basically a full-fledged blue brotherhood member at that point; cops ain't about to do shit.

Not just Indigenuous people, mind you. Black people too. Most of their victims are PoC, ridiculously young and non binary assigned female at birth people. I won’t bother addressing the absolute discussing bullshit earlier on this thread of people still trying the "they need to get help, prison isn‘t the answer" spiel.

Loving the many "progressives" in this thread who want the police (ACAB) to imprison someone non-binary on media allegations, possibly for life:

the authorities are not looking for them. There are no criminal charges pending or investigations ongoing. Feels like people are acting like Ezra Miller is a fugitive on the run or something thats simply not the case right now.

In addition to this, the legal stuff that has been brought against them is at the Tribal and State level. So long as they stay away from the Dakotas and Massachusetts, they're clear in terms of law enforcement chasing them

The ‘authorities’ are just not looking for them because they are an white cis passing rich asshole. If even one of these accusations were against someone that is black, maybe even if they were rich, they would be either in prison or dead by now. I am tired of people relativizing this shit.

I mean, the fbi probably is following him, or should be.

I hope

They need to be in jail.

Some of y'all really gotta stop thay "Ezra needs help" shit since they are a fucking pedophile.

Jfk are we really gonna defend child groomers because they are not "well" ?

Every fucking day that Ezra isn’t cuffed and kept from hurting more people is a massive fucking injustice. Get them off the fucking streets.

Won’t somebody think about the mental illnesses of this poor giant serial criminal asshole, they just need help, this ‘progressive‘ forum is failing them by not giving the benefit of the doubt. /s

There is a pretty good reason many countries with actually functioning justice and penal systems don't send anyone who is suffering from any kind of mental health issues or anything else that impairs their judgment to prison, period.

Ok I’m flat out ignoring who come at me with this argument from now on. Enough, not up for discussion.

Lock them the fuck up, throw away the key, and give all the victims some much needed help.

They are going to end up killing somebody. Something needs to be done.

If this isn’t textbook example of someone needing involuntary commitment, I don’t know what is…

Put this piece of shit in jail and be done with it. What an absolute clown.

Yet again nothing will happen and it's only a matter of time before someone will get really hurt or even worse, even if it's very much preventable. Which seems to reflect all bad news coming out of America at the moment.

Nonsense, noone is suggesting Ezra isnt a danger to themselves or others or that they have not hurt others because of their actions, but there is a big difference between someone having complete capacity to willing do those things and that of someone who does those things because of their mental health status.

They're a fucking pedophile. Do NOT die on this hill, buddy.

Ezra Miller abused minors. Not one. Several. With several different accusations. If you can’t understand why someone that does that needs to go to jail and then get help, there is absolutely no conversation to be had here.

Still rich and white which gets to you a lot of rope to hang yourself with in this country. There won't be a physical intervention until someone dies at this rate.

Not less important, the victims aren’t white, neither rich.

Put them in jail.

How are they still not arrested yet?!

Why haven't the police or some authority not stepped in yet?

Oh, let me guess, Zaslav still ain't doing shit either, right?

I don't give two shits about some dumb superhero movie that this piece of trash is in. Ezra needs to brought in before they go off any further.

Still baffled that the authorities haven't stepped in yet.

Why the fuck they want a corporation to influence the police or politicians to arrest an actor?

So I'm watching the 10 o'clock news and they break to a police chase for a stolen car and it goes on for like 30 minutes the guy drives down the 5 and 110 and ends up at USC and then the CHP/LAPD just called it off and let him go...

I've never seen anything like it. Wild.

The guy was not speeding though and used his turn signals the entire time which was weird.

He stole a Kia Soul so not like he won much though...

If you see a guy in Mid-City in a white Kia Soul congratulate him

[ShutUp]

Well obviously Zaslav is a blue lives matter supporter so can’t he just pay the cops to stop Ezra!?

Is absolutely something Era believes

Holy shit, the US did not want to negotiate? They fucking left her to rot.

Well, that's a first.  Lot of people gonna get warned since majority of Ree don't read at all.

[clothedmacuser]

Ezra has a strange case.  They are causing a national trail of destruction but I don't see why it's the WB's duty to pay the punishment by cancelling their movie.


They did nothing wrong!

[HaughtyFrank]

The journey to how fast they declared Zaslav a maga, racist, nazi is amazing.

And now they keep repeating it with the utmost certainty until no one questions it anymore.

Case in point. Clown invents a label. Gets called out  -

It is a good game, but the lead designer is an alt-right, pro-Russian, neonazi, piece of fucking shit.

Do not support this studio, ever.

Where did you get pro-Russian? I had the sense that back when his shitty ideas first began being noticed he tried to justify them in having grown up in a satellite state of the USSR.

He used to be very vocally pro-democracy, pro-West, anti-Russian, many years ago (probably more than a decade ago). But he gradually somehow became an admirer of Putin and Orban etc. Now he's demonstrably in bed with several Russian mouthpieces, like Jana Zwyrtek Hamplova, who are straight up spreading Russian propaganda about Ukrainian nazis, Russian self-defense against NATO expansion and such. He might not come out and openly say he agrees with Russian aggression but goddamn if he's not chummy with people who do.

also, how do people draw the conclusion that he is prorussian when his more recent tweets suggest otherwise? I mean I dislike that ridiculous military display anyways, but where's that prorussian?

sure he is a shitty human being for reasons highlighted in this thread (just see that gamergate picture), but sometime I really wonder how people jump to conclusions?

stop linking his tweets, ugh

Lol.

Man, the old tactic of “made shit up” and “bitch about linking stuff that proves you wrong”. CoyoteStark was also pulling this shit on the “Will Smith apologies” thread.
