This stupid narrative also feeds into the false assumptions that all rapists and pedophiles are strangers who lurk in dark alleys wearing nothing but trenchcoats. The person who commits sexual misconduct is almost always someone you know! They intentionally ingratiate themselves into a community or social network and…

There’s no connection to the Melissa Joan Hart show - it’s based on the horror-themed comic of the same name which in turn is based on the classic comic book character. That’s like saying Man of Steel is based on Lois and Clark.

Let me get you up to speed as I think you aren’t fully there:

Black people make up around 14% of the population but get charged for over 50% of crime.

This is true, but some films explore those things in a way that flattens the subject rather than drawing out the complexities in it. I don’t know about this movie, but I recently watched The Night Porter — a film from the 70s about a holocaust survivor and the Nazi guard who abused her finding each other years later…

The media has a serious problem with presenting allied racism/anti-semitism in time periods where there were Nazis/fascists. Maybe people would have recognized where “America First” came from if we ever fucking talked about the original American Nazis from the 30s. 

“They just live somewhere they don’t have hate and distrust for cops?”
Uh....you mean New York?

“The Spider-Man universes are traditionally hopeful, and I think it’d be strange to try and tackle that issue in this game.”

That is flat out not true and frankly I don’t know what Spider-man media you’ve been consuming over…

There are prisoners in the raft who just stay in there cells, literally saying they don’t want to fight, and Spiderman leaves them alone. Maybe you should play the damn game yourself before complaining about it

These are mostly just old as hell cartoonish tropes about “dirty cops.” They’re just black and white bad guys who were bought off by the mob.

While the story trope of cops being on the payroll of a crime lord is good for explaining away cops who actively help bad guys, it doesn’t help to explain things like stop and frisk, racial profiling, shooting unarmed people, planting evidence, escalating tense situations, unnecessary beatings, qualified immunity,…

I wish I could downvote this to infinity. This is basically an argument that because there is a supernatural or nonrealistic element in the story it means all logic and rules are basically null and void and that’s just not how storytelling and suspension of disbelief works.

When you say, “Twilight was poorly written garbage with many deeply disturbing messages, but you did do the movies, dude.”, to me that sounds like he can’t or shouldn’t criticize Twilight because he made money off of it.  Just because he did the movies, doesn’t mean had to like it. You call him out for trying to have…

You know, I was willing to let this slide until “I would have thought we could have a slightly more nuanced discussion here but I guess not.” Which is a bullshit, passive-aggressive way of blaming other people for your poor communications skills. When you start with, “Twilight was poorly written garbage with many…

Yep and it’d be totally cool if he didn’t get baited into smugly shitting on Twilight when he gets asked about it now, and directs the discussion to the work he’s done since then. You get it. Others I’ve expressed this opinion to seem to think I’m either stanning for Twilight (which LOLOLOLOL nope) or reduce my…

I mean, I don’t exactly wanna drag you, but at the same time “if you don’t like your job, don’t do it” isn’t a standard we apply to anywhere else but Hollywood. Pattinson is simply engaging in the time-honored tradition of complaining about his shitty-ass job that he does to put food on the table and a roof over his…

And, in the Marvel Universe, the fact that a lot of superheroes exist outside of that state monopoly is a massive problem because they can’t be reigned in and there aren’t any mechanisms to deal with them.

What people are these who think running dog fights is worse than the sexual abuse of actual female humans? Or that a man who actually went to prison for running dog fights should continue to suffer while a man who used his status at work to silence his victims and will never see the inside of cell for it should be…

Season one was a fantastic look into PTSD and serious psychological trauma of a man who is very much still a child. It also explored this for the secondary characters and how the business world and how it fucks people up was the same as the monks that trained Danny. The contrast and similarities and what the show was…

Some of the goons did acknowledge this by saying “we have to make it look like we tried”

I mean, could they at least pretend to show some contrition? Maybe use a scintilla of their enormous wealth to help women whose careers have been stunted or completely derailed by their horseshit? Anything, anything at all?!
