When representation of a group is absent or near absent, then any representation will be welcomed at first; even if it is stereotypes and #face-acting by another ethnicity. As time goes on and representation increases so the quality of that representation needs to improve too or appreciation will drop. The Simpsons is…

I wonder what this movie would look like if Aidy Bryant was the lead and Amy Schumer was the best friend. A lot more interesting I’d imagine.

I haven’t seen the movie, but the premise is backwards. It’s basically saying that the issue is a lack of self-confidence, and that women are holding themselves back. “If you simply act pretty and confident, that bartender will see you! You’ll get that promotion!” This doesn’t actually address the issue of our culture…

Objectively, Amy is skinnier and fitter than most American women her age. It feels a little surreal thinking of this movie as empowering, when much of its target audience dreams of looking like Amy.

You’re a thousand percent correct that we can’t shame these folks into good behavior. The real answer is to educate the youth as much as humanly possible, see if we can de-indoctrinate them from poor childhood lessons, and hope the older conservatives die off quickly.

He’s an honest liar? I mean, that’s the only thing you can really trust about Dump: he WILL lie, flagrantly and badly, about any and every thing. I guess some people actually think that’s a good thing?

And he wasn’t honest. He can’t open his damn mouth without lying. Start with successful businessman and work from there.

There are those that equate being crass and vulgar in their speech with being honest as opposed to articulate. Well-spoken, educated people are by nature dishonest in their view.

Bingo!

Also, “and now I have permission to say the shitty things I have always thought.”

I’ve had this discussion with Trump supporters before. Not just Trump supporters but strong man supporters in general (people who also like Putin and that murderous asshole Duterte in the Philippines). I’ve found that more than being very right wing, it’s more of a personality thing. I mean, some of the ones I know…

“I like him cause he’s honest” = “I like hearing my shitty opinions coming from someone else’s mouth because I feel it validates them”

I still don’t get the “at least he’s honest” argument. I can appreciate wanting to feel like a candidate/politician is honest about their views/feelings, but if what they are honestly saying is horrible, inhumane trash then who cares about their honesty? I just don’t get it.

Or when people use fascist and Nazi interchangeably. They were both horrible but two different kinds of horrible.

It’s not trespassing at a public place if you haven’t been asked to leave. Morons.

I’d be pissed to if someone charge me for a fucking plastic fork and knife.

LOL we got a fluoride truther. I’m gonna have the Illuminati sic the chemtrails on you to sap your precious bodily fluids!

COUNTER-POINT: Fucking with the destitute for laughs is a particular sick sort of sociopathy and two years in prison is too little for this douchenozzle. Fuck him and fuck internet culture.

You idiots can’t discern “immigration” from “invasion.”

lol eat a bucket of dicks you dumb racist dipshit.
