I think the issue is mainly egotistical directors and uninformed studio execs making demands on artists time.

Next generations of directors will make better, more empathetic, and more realistic requests to everyone on their team.

"I’ve seen on TikTok where people say Atlanta‘s transphobic. Man, I’m neighbors with a trans man and he told me Atlanta is his favorite show."

This is the second thing Donald Glover has said that should have Era cancel him.  Or at least earn a slap from nepenthe


The first was his defense of Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle.

https://www.mediaite.com/entertainment/donald-glover-does-surreal-interview-of-himself-talking-joe-rogan-and-dave-chappelle-controversies/
Quote
Speaking specifically on Rogan and Chappelle, he said “A lot of people believe both of them are doing what they do in good faith. It’s not cynical. It’s not CNN or Fox. It doesn’t feel to most people like they’re trying to sell something. People are looking for other people to interact with in good faith. Because a lot of this rage is artificial. People have emotional diabetes and don’t even know it.”

First season had its moments. Wouldn’t say it was out there for 2016. Testament to how quickly the dialog changed. Glover has a trans actor in season 3 without making it a big deal.

I kinda doubt there were many stormtroopers marching down every street daily in Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany or Franco Spain.

The "day to day life", "constant fear" and "looking over your shoulder" in a totalitarian state would be less about overt stormtroopers and more about your neighbors reporting your wrongthink to the Stasi like that portrayed in The Lives of Others, but wait, that's East Germany and reporting problematic speech to volunteers for official-backed punishment is a good thing. :hmm

Yeah, if any of those rumors turn out to be true, then David Zazlav can fuck right off.

Zaslav is a disaster. I knew when I read up on his style that he would be crap.

It's just like the NBA but for corporate !

Im trying to think about past discussions but didnt most experts agree that they would basically have to make a new movie and that there was no reasonable way to salvage it by removing Miller and using cgi to replace him was basically impossible because the tech isnt there yet he is just in it too much?

Ehhh I have no issue with the direction this show is going but I’m not a fan of invoking Tr*mps name here. Just let the show be and let’s not create controversy before it even airs.

Trailers have me excited for this and I mostly enjoyed the Kenobi show.

Controversy? Who gives a shit what some snowflake Trumpers think. They shouldn't be allowed to enjoy Star Wars devoid of political commentary and their God Emperor embodies literally everything Star Wars has always been against.

Batgirl was played by a Latina in this so I guess they think that would be the only reason the test audience could have disliked the movie  ???

Ree loves nothing more than using the word "disingenuous" to dismiss people. Yet, that thread's a perfect example of it. Op uses the definition - "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)" to pretend that's where the root of the problem is.

Wokeness is perceived as someone being a "sheep" incapable of thinking for themselves, and the claim is conservatives are much more free and independent and therefore superior. It falls apart the moment you think about it more than three seconds, but that's the general feeling.

I wonder how many people in the thread offer the exact same sentiment re-worded because it's what's been drilled into their heads as the only acceptable take

"becuz their team is evil and shit and our team is only ever a force for good"  :cry

If you're a white supremacist, the idea of people (even other white people) being aware of and being in favor of racial justice is obviously going to be seen as a negative.

As it turns out, the US has a great deal of white supremacists.

Great deductive reasoning skills.   


All birds have feathers. All robins are birds. Therefore, robins have feathers.
Wokeism is being criticized, all critiques are from white supremacists, therefore i'm always right.

This feels like RE purely fighting windmills. In fact they're the only place where I've seen the sentiment that the cancellation had anything to do with the actresses ethnicity

I don't think the article is even really denying test screenings either. It says that the movie wouldn't hold up as a tent pole theatrical release. That could be something concluded after a screening.

When I saw that the previous thread was locked with the dismissive message from the mod about not making threads to shock it felt like a huge slap in the face., especially with the massive spike in anti-Asian hate and violence towards Asians over the past 2 years. I believe that if the victim black or brown then the thread wouldn't have been locked, and, there would have been a substantial amount of discussion, or at least a lit of replies. It felt like yet another case of us Asians being viewed as "White adjacent", and therefore not worthy of the consideration that virtually all other POC get.

It felt like yet another case of our issues and our plight not being viewed as important.

So I really do appreciate you stepping up to own a mistake that your fellow mod made and reassuring us that you will try to prevent it from happening again.

I have repeatedly voiced my disappointment in the conduct and performance of the mod team and how it lead to the exodus of a significant number of Asian Era.

But credit is given where credit is due.

Thank you for owning up and trying to make this right.

I really do appreciate it.

They're looking to have their existing biases reinforced, and I would argue that's just generally true of most people regardless of political affiliation.

I hope Hollywood revolts. I hope talent just flees from WB. Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves should walk away, Cavill should, Gunn should. Refuse to work until Zaslav is gone.

Jesus, profit motivated executives are the worst thing ever to grace this market. This is entertainment sector for gods sake, you cannot "cut costs". You have to lose some to win some.

If you never acknowledge or even consider the possibility that you are wrong, at least to yourself, you will never learn anything. Congratulations Nepenthe you are already a boomer.

This thread largely hurts my brain.

An AC running drops the humidity in the room, unlike a fan, so 80 F outside and 80 F inside with an AC are two completely experiences entirely. I'm not really sure why so many people are going "uhg 27C/80F! that's unbearable!"...like, do you not know how air conditioners / science works, or....

That and these kind of measures are invaluable for making sure power grids don't buckle and help mitigate climate change by not over-using energy unnecessarily.
Yeah, I think people are ignoring this detail and just comparing it with weather reports.

If AC is actually running and putting out cool temps, 80 is quite manageable as it keeps the humidity under control and you have airflow from it
In the Georgia heat and humidity, I start dying at around a mere 74 degrees. Again, at that point, I'd just rather the AC turned off. I can find other ways to manage the temperature that isn't burning as much electricity.

This is fucking gross and I’m not afraid to explicitly call out the fact that this never would have happened with a male-led movie.

A male-lead Batgirl movie would have been an interesting choice, but I feel like Resetera would have had a problem with that too.

Saying that there aren't some people watching watching Ben Shapiro who don't have an open mind is crazy talk. This is just, statistically impossible.

This is ludicrous. I personally know multiple people who were very conservative yet changed their mind on multiple issues, and are now far left. Doesn't this DESTROY (lol) your entire argument? What are you talking about when you say conservatives don't want to learn, or don't listen..? Clearly this is completely untrue. It sounds like you've just met or seen assholes online and are applying those ideals to every conservative ever, when obviously there are so many who can be swayed.

No, anecdotal evidence doesn't DESTROY mine.

And I mean exactly what I said. The vast majority of people who self ascribe as conservative do not want to change their mind to more liberal views. That's why they're fucking conservative. There not victims, and they're not naive. They consciously and knowingly believe in their points of view, same as I do with mine. As such, I do not automatically treat them as if they are just open books waiting to be filled with the truth. I treat them as hostile outsiders until they prove they come in peace, and even then, I know that can be a Trojan Horse, so the moment they get on some fuck shit they get checked or ostracized again. I don't owe these people the benefit of the doubt because they've never given it to the other side.

As such, I find the ridiculous, Herculean efforts liberals put into making these supposedly huge swathes of hypothetical fence sitters their entire praxis, the insistence on being open to these people at the real risk of trolling, harassment, and adding to their content farms, to be tiresome, and more often than not ultimately rooted in personal experiences and an unwillingness to condemn people that might include friends and family, because that's what it's always about.

You bring it up unprompted that you know "tons" of people who were conservative but became progressive. I personally don't. Why? Because I'm fucking Black. These people just don't exist in my social circles as a result, and thus I have no responsibility to them to treat them any better than they treat Black people on average. Like I don't give a fuck that you saved your Grandma or childhood friend or whatever when the Republican party is still ratcheting up white supremacists rhetoric with no pushback.
And she locks it  :lol

I'm mentally preparing myself to completely walk away from WB as a company. If they kill the shows I care about, they won't get a dime out of me for anything - movies, TV shows, video games, etc - until Zaslav retires or gets his ass run out the company. Absolutely zero forgiveness.

Good luck and more power to you if you actually follow through.
