Took the words right out of my mouth.  Damned if you do...

That’s not how this works.  The accused doesn’t get to define the intent of the gesture.  See Kapernick kneeling vs disrespecting the Troops.

A white game-dev writing a POC character? Accusations of cultural appropriation in 3... 2...  (See ATLA/Korra)

Better to listen to someone firmly in your narrative camp who spouts the appropriate talking points.

You don’t get much more ironic than a racist-cop holding a gun on a guy who’s literally wearing the uniform and swore an oath to defend the racist-cop’s ass.

Why we keep giving these people any attention at all is utterly beyond me.

This Floridian would welcome his retirement and subsequent incarceration.

While not 1/1000th as fit as Cavill, I will volunteer to be his stand-in when it comes to Amy Adams putting her hands on someone.

No, not at all. >.>

TD Bank is so full of shit. This pasty white boy has withdrawn a grand or more to deposit into another bank countless times and not ONCE was told by a teller they were “uncomfortable” giving me my damn money.

This fellow Floridan feels your pain. And watch us send that empty-headed pretty-boy Rubio back. Or, worse, a Trumpkin who primaried him.

I’ve never heard anything like that and this is consistent with Hollywood’s kowtowing to the CCP. Usually it’s via censorship, but they’ve also jammed in some pretty obvious stuff too. ID4-2's pointless China-centric part of the opening. The setting of the Tranformers:TLK whole Dinobot sequence. Humanity saved in “2012…
