You must not have read this part:

That's a lot of words to justify mocking some people's appearances. You ever think that if you have to go that far to make something okay maybe you just shouldn't do it? The same thing goes for insulting people's intelligence based on differences of opinion but clearly that's not an argument you're receptive to. Keep…

Ethics, like math, uses logic to come to conclusions and it's only naive if you have none. Something being common doesn't make it any more okay to use as an insult than being rare. Obesity is very common yet it remains rude to call people fat and hack comedy to make jokes centered around it.

I agree that had that happened their outfits would have been the center of attention well before the slap although who they were wearing may have come in second to why they were wearing it in the first place.

This is probably the result of incompetence but I like to imagine the manager saying "Fuck it, keep it going until it freezes. I bet it'll look cool as hell."

To be clear the lady does not suffer from alopecia as a result of any diagnosed medical condition although it can certainly be a symptom of such. In some individuals it can appear randomly or perhaps have a genetic component. A good comparison is male pattern baldness. If alopecia is off-limits then male pattern…

Are there non self-serve gas pumps outside of New Jersey and whichever of the PNW states where it's illegal to pump your own gas? I've never seen one aside from those places.

Not at all. It’s using real physical traits as a stand in for unpleasant personality traits. One is changeable, the other is not. The point is to insult or humiliate thus it is body shaming regardless of who the target is.

I took that line as explaining the shorthand version of the title. They didn’t want to use the real title because it’s long but didn’t want to say “Avatar 2" without something explaining that they mean the movie in theaters now.

How do we know that’s how the director discussed the situation with the casting director? Who then spoke to the actor’s parent. Who presumably told the actor at some later date. Who then talked about the incident and didn’t claim to be quoting anyone.

I’m not one to defend the writers here much but the title of the sequel doesn't include a '2', 'II' or a 'Two' and I don't believe the writers always make the headlines. Anyway "Avatar: The Way Of Water" wouldn't fit and just "Avatar" would mean the first movie. Or the element bending franchise.

You mean respect for a piece of metal. A ring is neither a wife nor a marriage. It’s not a representation, as an actor is meant to be. Are you telling me that back in ‘91 rings were made that were irremovable? I was alive and do not recall this. If it won’t come off easily a jeweler can take care of that or, in…

That seems really weird for a professional actor. Even weirder than refusing to get a haircut or grow a beard for a role. Did he demand to wear his street clothes too? Any reason other than an exaggerated, seemingly performative (and misplaced) respect for his wife/marriage?

I’ve seen a Twitch streamer play GTA with some mod he cooked up where his wanted level went up if he said a common word, a different word caused vehicles to explode, that sort of thing. So I'm sure someone will make a mod for the PC version doing exactly what you're asking for.

Probably but recently I learned that the oldest cat ever recorded lived into it's thirties. I wouldn't have guessed that was possible.

I probably received about equivalent amounts of safety instruction about both sex and power tool use in school. I don't know if they still have shop class but we did and the teacher was a pretty bad drunk. I might have heard more about condoms than safety glasses to be honest.

He'd sell us out to Skynet/The Matrix in a heartbeat if they promised to make him a cyborg.

If you didn’t like what I said you could have ignored it. But that wouldn’t have given you an opportunity to be a condescending dick, would it? I guess I forgot that the third item in a series is meaningless and should not be commented upon. If that’s the case you must have been coming in third your whole life.

Ok, I'm not sure why you chose this place to critique your own response to a different commenter. Most people just think these things to themselves. If you're looking for a debate coach or something I can't help you.

I suppose it would depend on his brother. Did he do something that, while worth making a movie about, was only tangentially connected to his sexual relationships? If so then why bother exploring his sexuality any more than the writers would a straight character? There are plenty of movies with a straight male lead…
