Don't know why people bother posting in Erza threads when you got mods and users analyzing every post with a fine tooth comb making sure you used the right pronoun. And you're given no warning or leeway. Every use of 'his/he/him' in reference to Erza must be malicious and used in bad faith, and not, you know, people tripping up using natural, common language to refer to someone who is male.

I'm disappointed that there's still no one who tried calling Ezra "it"

I thought it was relevant. If Republicans are just going to claim that LGBT+ people are pedophiles and would-be rapists, then this would be part of labeling and dehumanization. How long until kangaroo courts declare that transgender people are sexual predators by default?

Some mainstream media outlets do this, only referring to Ezra as “Miller” or “the actor”, etc, and I’ve seen people on Ree get annoyed about it. I’m fairly sure one of them complaining about was excelsior.

Kind of nowhere because Mario didn't exactly doubt of himself in the film. He wanted to prove himself, that is true, but he did accomplish a lot in the film to just suddenly having a panic attack because Bowser is throwing a hissy fit. The scene was just there to

overcome his (pretty sudden) fears and inspire Luigi to help him

[close]

,but being fair, Mario and Luigi team up is the best part of the film.

The film could have been much better and competent, so is infuriating to see how Nintendo fans are willing to celebrate mediocrity because member berries and mainstream "validation".

Reading is for fascists and fascist-aligned centrists (aka fascists) who already have the capital to be able to read, emotionally tired true leftist allies have to spend their incredibly limited time and resources just accessing the collective consciousness of the oppressed by shutting up, sitting down and listening to learn that everything bad is universally the deliberate part of capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy and transphobia.

[benjipwns]

Patrick's a fucking idiot. Vice has lost 82% of its valuation over the last five years during a debt-fueled binge, last year it missed revenue (not profits) by over $100 million. Waypoint's subscription being "profitable" doesn't mean shit when the company is piling on massive amounts of debt it can't afford. Disney, WBD and NBCUniversal are massive established revenue engines (also, notice all the tweeters completely ignoring those debt figures in the screenshot), they aren't relying on raising investment money, VICE was desperately going back to investors for new rounds over and over again before trying to sell but nobody wants it.

I was eatin all the replies about capitalism as if a system where exponential losses are mandated would somehow be superior.

Notice how Patrick also says "profitable, for a time" but still continues on as if the profit growth was the problem rather than the fact that profits, all across VICE too, stopped happening.

I'm sure he offered to take a pay cut on his six figure salary to write about video games from his house in the Chicago suburbs (not NYC like Austin and others) to help keep Waypoint going.

I can almost guarantee Patrick Klepto's calculation of "profitability" consisted of simply multiplying the subscription rate by the number of subscribers and then subtracting the sum total of all the salaries of him and his goober colleagues.

On some giant bomb podcast, Jeff half jokingly said how annoying it was to see some kid running around these games trade shows because of his family connections. Him and everybody else worked for it. Like he’s Wesley Crusher. There’s an honestly to risk of failure. A perspective one gains. The lack of it, with safety net of millions, twists things.

Not the same, but I'm in the process of giving up everything Harry Potter related. That franchise was very important to me, pretty much saved my life at one point and led to great and lasting friendships, so it was not easy to detach myself from it, it took time, but now I'm ready to move on to other, better franchises without creators of such vile and bigoted natures.

I respect that, but may I ask: are you doing that every time you learn about a creator being an asshole? Because there's lots of them.

Personally I gave up on giving up. The mental health benefits of enjoying the media I love is vastly superior to the purity feeling of boycotting a creator.

 

It's not that easy. On one hand, yes, if we give up everything with bad aspects in it, there is no end to it, but it's a different situation for me. I myself am trans and are therefore directly affected, and her comments, her behavior and the toxicity spreading from it just ruined the franchise for me. It was harder and harder to find joy in it, despite my positive and important memories and experiences with and more importantly through the franchise.

I like that. Giving up on giving up.

What the fuck is this shit? Calm, reasonable responses. No screeching about genocide. No Fuuuuuuckkkkkooooooffffffffs. This is unacceptable.

As for me, I've had to give up having a life for a long time. I don't know if it counts but from a young age I had to be the responsible person in my family and take care of everything. Living with a family full of mental illness sucks and I feel a good portion of my youth was taken because of it. Finally at 32 I feel like I am taking control again and about to start a new chapter in my life.

[Uncle]

after giving up on giving up, next realization: people who do problematic things are people too, with their own complex lives and motivations behind what they do, and it's very possible for them to do or say one thing you don't like alongside hundreds of things you don't even know about which you would support

maybe they're "problematic" due to the very same kinds of trauma you get all hugs and kisses over in every other situation

While Republicans and Abbot are racist assholes, they are not wrong in being worried about cartels. Wonder how ERA is going to react if this ends being a cartel hit.

Immigration is a more complex issue that most realize, so is worrying that, if Narco violence actually rises in the US, leftists solutions will limited to just crying about guns while Republicans use the xenophobic and racist discourse.

The economics of the industry have change radically in just the last 18 months, he said, as many media and tech stocks have taken a beating on investor concern about profitability of streaming services. While initially the industry battle was to get the most subscribers, attention has now turned to the bottom line.

“Both the media companies and the tech companies that own streamers are engaged in belt tightening,” said Handel.

We have got to divorce “popular” from “trash”.

They try to either cater to the widest possible demographic or try to appeal to your sense of nostalgia. Usually both.

Some of them are pretty good. But you don't gross a billion if you try to make a specialised movie with a very strict audience in mind.

So far, two mods have posted in a thread where the Harry Potter movies are being discussed.
