Alright era,

I ain’t gonna go to deep in this movie but this movie currently holds a 85% of RT so me and my girlfriend watched it thinking it would be a good time. And both of us hated this movie with a passion! Almost all the characters are incredibly unlikeable as the movie goes on. And the movie made me frustrated with character motives. I don’t give a shit if this is suppose to be about teens but it makes zero sense.

I’ll give you a brief run down on a few instances.

Main character sends a nude to boyfriend, it gets uploaded and throughout the movie it questioned if the boyfriend did it or someone got a hold of it. (He did do it)
She becomes the black sheep and her former best friend starts dating him also because his dad can help support her for some event.

Later in the movie the main girl sends the whole school videos and messages that he’s been cheating on all his previous relationships with other girls. The former best friend doesn’t seem to give two shits and now says they are in an open relationship and apparently that makes everything cool and great again.

End of the movie evil boyfriend admits to main character he leaked the video and says he’s enjoys being a piece of shit. Main character records this and everybody see it. NOW everybody doesn’t want to be this guys friend and former girlfriend dumps him.

Like this logic makes zero sense! If you knew he cheated in previous relationships and weren’t in an open relationship before dating why be so fucking chill about it. So I thought maybe she really wants this funding but then why break up with him at the end of the movie!!

Also the two main characters frame multiple people and have zero consequences, they drug a school event and made a girl get kicked out. This girls best friend finds out it was the main girl and says turn yourself in and she says no, and doesn’t even do it in the end and they get together! Like what the actual fuck!

Also Maya Hawke character is double crossing main character because she ruined her life at a younger age and had to change her nose due to being ridiculed. So maya hawke reveals this plan to get revenge on the girls and if main character says no she’ll fucking plant something on the mom to go to jail. Also she rams the main girl in a car and makes her go to the hospital to get in an invite to this party and at the end of the day they get into a fight and become best friends like non of this crazy shit just happened. She fucking destroys her car and could of killed her but Maya’s character excuse is it was just a little tap.

Era help me! I wasted two hours on this horrid movie. It started off just as a weak forgettable teen comedy and because worse as it went on.

I take it from this ban that these guys are not Japanese? Or did the staff just assume their heritage? Or does it not count because they're American and Canadian so therefore could only know "western stereotypes" even if they were Japanese heritage and worked in Japan during their career?

Also "racist conflation of Asians" is a pretty funny ban message just in and of itself. I'm sure we'll see such concerns the next time someone (I don't know who might do this certainly not the person being replied to here) starts talking for all "Black and brown bodies" globally.

Incelchief-filtered headline

It's a quote from someone they interviewed in the article.

I read the entire article, there is nothing like the framing you're describing.

Seems like just the other week someone called out Incelchiefs careless editorialising and lack of fact checking to attack the mainstream media as being no better than a fox news pundit :thinking

She literally just made this whole thing bigger than just about Japan. Accusing Asians of being orientalist should raise eyebrows.
Instead the person who questions it gets a 3 month ban and everyone happily nods along

Quote from: Skyscourge
This isn't an editorial and there is barely any opinion from the authors, it's a pretty straight recounting of the matter with official communications. There is no truth that has been buried, obfuscated or made otherwise unclear.
This is an absolutely accurate headline about how Desantis is treating the situation, there is no way to frame this as this is how the authors of the article see the situation. I don't see how any reasonable person who reads this article comes away with the conclusion that NBC is somehow supportive of this maneuver.

Excelsiorlef only does tweets and headlines.

Also I'm not sure what is wrong with the Symmetra one? Symmetra is Indian, and that skin is a Hindu God.

That's the whole point of a news article, which you constantly seem to be unable to differentiate from an opinion piece.
There you go, an opinion piece published by NBC News shitting all over De Santis:

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/desantis-flying-migrants-to-marthas-vineyard-evil-version-gop-scheme-rcna48162

And of course you found out about this from someone being mad on twitter.

Quote from: Skyscourge
This whole thing is a show put up by Desantis, a ridiculous farce using human beings as chess pieces. Nothing in the NBC article supports his actions. If you're wanting them to offer moral condemnation in the article itself, I'm sure there are plenty of editorials out there that do so. The news is supposed to be indifferent, that's the point.

it's not exactly far fetched to assume that both of them have "oriental" ethnic roots and reckon the ban was for pointing out that nepnep, who lacks the proper "oriental" melanin, should stay in her lane

The headline and framing of a news article influences how the general public absorbs said news; opinion pieces reach just a fraction of the audience compared to the headline news tweets & broadcasts.

It is not "indifference" to frame a news headline from the POV of one of the subjects of the article. In this instance it's no different than the passive language copaganda headlines that refer to "officer involved shootings" with the exact framing provided by law enforcement PR. It's a choice by editorial to tell the story from that perspective.

Framing this story as either a mischievous or savvy political maneuver, rather than from the POV of the displaced and defrauded asylum seekers who have been placed in genuine legal jeopardy to be deported by two US governors and willing DHS agents, is itself a choice that we in the West internalize as normal everyday discourse. It is in no way objective.

At what point is the general population is in need of media literacy and critical thinking? Headlines are there to GENERATE VIEWS, to make people pay attention to the fucking note and buy the newspaper or make you click the link. Headlines are not supposed to be there to make shitty twitter addicts get on culture wars. You can critize sensationalism but pretending headlines are something beyond that just to protect excelsior media illiteracy is another thing.

:cop User Banned (3 months): racist conflation of Asians, prior ban for dismissing concerns surrounding misogyny in the workplace
Quote from: Vinx
Quote from: Nepenthe
I think people are getting into the weeds here about what a "ninja" really is and almost deliberately missing the bigger point.

Why are all three Japanese characters mired in western stereotypes of Oriental mysticism and tradition?

Anyone got an answer for that???
You could ask Overwatch's Lead Writer Micheal Chu and Overwatch's Lead Concept Artist Arnold Tsang.

The headline and framing of a news article influences how the general public absorbs said news; opinion pieces reach just a fraction of the audience compared to the headline news tweets & broadcasts.

It is not "indifference" to frame a news headline from the POV of one of the subjects of the article. In this instance it's no different than the passive language copaganda headlines that refer to "officer involved shootings" with the exact framing provided by law enforcement PR. It's a choice by editorial to tell the story from that perspective.

Framing this story as either a mischievous or savvy political maneuver, rather than from the POV of the displaced and defrauded asylum seekers who have been placed in genuine legal jeopardy to be deported by two US governors and willing DHS agents, is itself a choice that we in the West internalize as normal everyday discourse. It is in no way objective.

At what point is the general population is in need of media literacy and critical thinking? Headlines are there to GENERATE VIEWS, to make people pay attention to the fucking note and buy the newspaper or make you click the link. Headlines are not supposed to be there to make shitty twitter addicts get on culture wars. You can critize sensationalism but pretending headlines are something beyond that just to protect excelsior media illiteracy is another thing.

No bigot, the headline is the TL;DR :snob

or the basic gestalt if you will :info

Like even if the header is a quote, that doesn't mean they had to use it for the title. NBC knows damn well the tone and mindset they're setting with that title and makes it clear they consider the issue not that serious.

And yeah no, I've seen too much "impartial" and "indifferent" news that past few years to know what that really means. At best endorsement of the status quo and conflating the concept of "balance" to ridiculous degrees and at worse, silent (and usually quite loud) bias towards bigotry and hate (stares right at the BBC)

But, if there was a LGBT character everyone will complain because:

Alright era,

I ain’t gonna go to deep in this movie but this movie currently holds a 85% of RT so me and my girlfriend watched it thinking it would be a good time. And both of us hated this movie with a passion! Almost all the characters are incredibly unlikeable as the movie goes on. And the movie made me frustrated with character motives. I don’t give a shit if this is suppose to be about teens but it makes zero sense.

I’ll give you a brief run down on a few instances.

Main character sends a nude to boyfriend, it gets uploaded and throughout the movie it questioned if the boyfriend did it or someone got a hold of it. (He did do it)
She becomes the black sheep and her former best friend starts dating him also because his dad can help support her for some event.

Later in the movie the main girl sends the whole school videos and messages that he’s been cheating on all his previous relationships with other girls. The former best friend doesn’t seem to give two shits and now says they are in an open relationship and apparently that makes everything cool and great again.

End of the movie evil boyfriend admits to main character he leaked the video and says he’s enjoys being a piece of shit. Main character records this and everybody see it. NOW everybody doesn’t want to be this guys friend and former girlfriend dumps him.

Like this logic makes zero sense! If you knew he cheated in previous relationships and weren’t in an open relationship before dating why be so fucking chill about it. So I thought maybe she really wants this funding but then why break up with him at the end of the movie!!

Also the two main characters frame multiple people and have zero consequences, they drug a school event and made a girl get kicked out. This girls best friend finds out it was the main girl and says turn yourself in and she says no, and doesn’t even do it in the end and they get together! Like what the actual fuck!

Also Maya Hawke character is double crossing main character because she ruined her life at a younger age and had to change her nose due to being ridiculed. So maya hawke reveals this plan to get revenge on the girls and if main character says no she’ll fucking plant something on the mom to go to jail. Also she rams the main girl in a car and makes her go to the hospital to get in an invite to this party and at the end of the day they get into a fight and become best friends like non of this crazy shit just happened. She fucking destroys her car and could of killed her but Maya’s character excuse is it was just a little tap.

Era help me! I wasted two hours on this horrid movie. It started off just as a weak forgettable teen comedy and because worse as it went on.
Movie is shit, but this person is a complete moron who is clearly mentally deficient and didn't understand what is a pretty simple film.

Well I had been ignoring it because lol Cyberpunk but I didn't know Trigger did this, and holy shit it is really good. Feels a bit icky to be watching it just by association though, but it's not making me want to play the game or anything at least.

Bet he's hoping someone gifts them the game so he won't feel icky playing it.
