I don’t know why you didn’t make this clear- Zelenskyy is Jewish. What Tucker was doing was using antisemitic tropes- that Jews are ratlike, that Jews persecute Christians, that Jews are in league with bankers to control things.

Worth noting that Twitter is counting impressions as views, so every time it puts the Tweet containing the video on a screen, they’re counting it as a “view” even if the person scrolled right past.

no it wasn’t, social media was

what is it with people always saying “it’s a joke!!” being so painfully unfunny?

The thing that none of these people understand is that kids that go to college aren’t being strapped in to chairs and forced to read the communist manifesto and radical feminist theory. They’re just meeting other people. Some rich, some poor. Some black, some brown, some white. Some gay, some straight, some something…

People like you really don’t get it. Characters are being race-swapped so there are equal opportunities for actors of different ethnicities and backgrounds. There really is no other agenda out there.

Well, where’s all the outrage about her fish-half not clearly resembling any species of fish known to inhabit European waters?

How conservatives imagine college instructors: “Hi class, today we’re going to be discussing how capitalism is the root of all evil and the US should pay every Black person $1 million per year in reparations. And all cops should be shot in the streets.”

lmao sadly “Canon is a fool’s stricture” is a 100% Linda Codega original phrase, and sadly I’ve wasted it in the dek of an io9 blog.

You know mermaids are fantasy creatures, right?

Do you think commas and apostrophes are woke too? And proper syntax? And not saying stupid things?

Meanwhile this comment section contains one person talking about how a remake of an American movie from 1989 is European folklore, one person using the phrase “journalistic ethics” (in caps) to describe user reviews, and one person whose post is “Interesting... So [statement unsupported by fact].”

Her toddler children will be only attending “woke college” over her “dead body.”

Magic fans have known this for about a year. The fact that all the racists are coming out of the woodwork now, when the mainstream announcement is made, tells you a lot about who is really getting angry at this: people who are threathened by pictures in a card game they don’t play. In other words immature, insecure…

There was a similar article a while back, some other thing was review bombed, and I asked the general question of who even paid attention to these crowdsourced review sites and a few people apparently thought they were very important! They were like “I don’t want a review from some stuffy professional critic who…

“Canon is a fool’s stricture” Is this yours or an older quote? I ask because it sums up how I feel about a lot of the stupid complaints (not just racist ones) about entertainment properties I’ve seen, so I’m going to steal it.

And? What does that have to do with anything? This comment just reads like a sanitised “why did they put a back person in muh European fairy tale”

Halle Bailey was born in Georgia and moved to California at the age of 12, where she stills reside. Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid, an American movie starring and made by Americans, is as much her culture as its yours. She's not stealing anything from you. 

Whatever company comes up with a Bot detector PaaS service is going to clean up in this space.

The Republicans are losing their minds over anything and everything Disney-related these days because Disney has officially been deemed by them as being “too woke” now and “grooming” children (whatever that means). This movie checks all the Republican-rage checkmarks, especially since Ariel is played by a black person.
