Yeah, seriously. And they don’t even need to find an excuse! There are super legit reasons, reasons that are mentioned in this very article, to shit on him! But he makes bad movies all of the sudden? This is a mess how exactly? C’mon. I totally get why some people don’t enjoy his movies, but I and many others do.…

I’m all for higher minimum wage, but I’d prefer if we were all just on welfare. Universal basic income! No stigma, no drug tests!

This made my morning

The Second Amendment was written before police were even a thing, when we weren’t supposed to have a standing army, and when you had to load guns one musketball at a time. The First and Fourth Amendments more directly represent basic human rights than the Second Amendment. We have a natural right to self-defense, not…

I think I’d rather restrict guns than expression, as the former has done nothing for the health of our democracy.

I’ve been playing violent video games for so long and I don’t even support violence against our piece of shit sex predator president.

Wakanda is supposed to represent the potential of the whole continent. I don’t think they were like, “they’re all the same,” obviously, but “this is an idealized version of what any country in Africa could have become if not for colonialism.” Black Panther may have been created by white dudes, but through the work of…

And if the show exactly recreated the Milgram experiments, it would be even worse, (1) because the benefits of the experiment were already reaped, and (2) because it’s making a spectacle of traumatizing people.

“too many of us feel we should be noble no matter what” is a disturbing dismissal of the very fundamental morality behind not murdering mountains of innocent people, which is what most revolution does and what killmonger’s incredibly well armed, unorganized revolution would have done. He was trained to destabilize…

Dude. The only way to not remain an underclass is murdering innocent people? Fuck whether or not it would work. Killmonger was pretty explicit about wanting to use the same tactics that have been used to oppress black people. “the takeover” Killmonger wanted, that you apparently want, is the same evil shit with…

Damn, I did not pick that up. Good job! And more generally, he was super very much a villain. His grievances were 100% valid, and his philosophy was 100% evil.

Yes, and the action is generally floaty and cartoonish; a weakness in my mind, but arguably a necessity in making an action movie primarily for kids.

No, they’re mostly just uncomfortable with seeing that many black people. That, and celebrating a monochromatic cast looks racist regardless of the color, if you’re completely oblivious to context (white privilege, representation across media generally, etc.). “If we made an all-white superhero movie and acted like…

I imagine a white person showing up in Klan garb to Black Panther would enhance black joy when a Black Panther cosplayer jumps up and kicks their ass

This is an abuse of language. Don’t redefine the offense because you think one possible “sentence” is inappropriate.

What a magical world of unlimited job opportunities you live in. He did not have a valid reason to be angry. In fact, he was proven completely wrong.  The only thing victim-blaming resolves is the discomfort empathy would otherwise create in the blamer (that’s you). There are a million possible remedies for problems…

We only have the facts we’ve been given. You’ve re-written them. If Thurman said she was “badgered,” I might have said something different. But she said he was “furious,” and having to work under someone who responds to your legitimate fear for you life with fury is not a situation we should accept, and it should not…

Yeah that was along the lines of Sam Jackson’s response lol

Dr. Lawyer said “sexual abuse OR abuse of power.” It definitely was an abuse of power. If your boss responds to doubts or hesitation to doing something dangerous on the job with fury, they are abusing their power. It should “bring him down” (i.e., take him out of that position of power) if that’s a good way to prevent…

It was definitely better the second time around. Knowing what to expect and feeling like I could get up and go the bathroom and only miss the casino scene went a long way.
