Especially since he’s wearing gloves and so he couldn’t even use his fingernails.

Disney doesn’t have to worry about pissing off actual white supremacists. They have a strong enough lock on the entertainment market that the casual racists will still watch their movies, and there aren’t enough hard core white supremacists of the boycott variety to make much difference to their bottom line (if there…

Hughes is a parasite. If Disney said nothing he would have been scathing and condemned them as participants in white supremacy. But they said something so instead they’re cynical corporate opportunists. You can’t reason with people like this because they aren’t honest actors. 

Nope, not anymore. This is why I don’t understand how celebs keep coming forward to performatively demonstrate themselves as allies. It always results in someone successfully cutting them down, and often, as in this case, the crime is inferred from scant evidence (i.e. she was an asshole to me and the only explanation…

God, even supporting the message isn’t enough for some people. They’re trying to amplify the notion that racism is not okay, but sure, chastise them as fakers. Shame them to shut up, make the chorus quieter.

Probably not, I imagine he would have had trouble keeping such thoughts from the cameras that followed him for years and years, and I doubt the filmmakers would have sat on that nugget (though they probably would have revealed it late in the series so as to prevent people from tuning out in disgust). You can be a…

Joe Exotic is a piece of shit. And also Carol killed her husband. 

I’m not gonna lie, you’re sort of adorable. 

lol, you can talk as much shit as you want on this site. But it seems like you see the topic of the newswire and then google to find out what social justice crime someone has committed and make sure everyone knows how much we should hate them. It’s...peculiar.

Your hobby of coming to the AVClub and trying to cancel whoever you don’t like today is oddly fascinating. Do you count this as activism?

Hey we hated Josh Gad way before Frozen came out. 

Yeah the draw of the 3D gimmick was probably pretty strong. At the time I had never seen a 3d movie and that was pretty much the only reason I went. Now that 3d is standard, and to some extent even getting shunned by some, they no longer have that aspect going for them. 

I think maybe the point Lee is making is that he wasn’t using any artistic license in his portrayal of Radio Raheem’s murder by the police. We expect movies to be exaggerations of reality but in this case Lee’s movie is not only realistic, it may even be understated. 

Well to be fair your average antifa guy isn’t exactly a winner in real life. 

Why do people think cognitive dissonance is some sort of defining trait of the right only? The notion that all these people looting and smashing are white supremacist inflitrators is also crazy on the scale of Jones saying Sandy Hook was a false flag operation, and yet every twitter thread out there on the topic has…

The musical wasn’t about the slave trade or genocide of native americans so how are those details whitewashed? You people need to understand that societies that create rigid dogmas around how history and stories can be told are not well regarded in the history books.

This is why I don’t understand why celebrities apologize for things like this. All it does is show their throat and invite further attacks. Hamilton was a prize pig around here and suddenly the comments are full of haters calling it things like whitewashed. You people are jackals. 

Fuck that game. I made it to the grim reaper which was just insanely and nonsensically hard and had to stop for my own health. And this is coming from someone who beat Battletoads and Punch-out.

I never played this version. That is, uh, a weird touch. 

This might be the clunkiest meme I’ve ever stumbled through.
