The “social science IQ” shit is so weird to me, because they always offer up their belief that Asians are smarter and better than them, just so they can excuse saying Black people are inferior.

There should have been piles of dead Babbitts all over the Capitol building. The US sure knows how to go soft on white traitors.

OH MAN,

Hello and welcome to the future, I assume you have been frozen for the last 18 months. Premier Access is how Disney is putting out movies in theaters and at home at the same time. It costs more, but it also means 1080p quality rips can be found on torrent sites the same day as movie releases.

Well that was a 30 second rollercoaster of emotions for me.

Junji Ito was unable to appear in the video, as he is currently walking toward the countryside, muttering something about a hole that was made for him.

Yeah, this feels too far/too much. First it’s, “We need more representation in film and on stage,” and lo we have a whole show about Brooklyn/Heights by the champion of inclusion Lin Manuel Miranda, and then they wanna come for him/the director and say, “We got inclusion, a whole inclusive production, but these people…

It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side. 

Agreed. There’s always going to be *someone* that doesn’t like the way you run the ship. As you correctly pointed out, LMM has done more for minorities than most people in the same profession/position. 

As for Léon, who has rightly been credited with sparking this very necessary conversation, in response to Manuel’s apology, she simply stated: “For centuries darker-skinned Afro-Latinx people have been erased from Latinidad, but we will be forgotten no more. We are tired of being maids and background dancers and will…

LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.

Twitter was a mistake.  

they can critique someone who is actively pushing a shitty rhetoric. what Rogan is sharing is purposely disingenuous and he’s leaning into it more and more because he’s going to get more money with more listeners.

FFS, IT’S an POP CULTURE CRITICISM WEBSITE!!!!

I’m both shocked and disappointed by the apparently large overlap between AV Club Commentariat and Joe Rogan defenders.

You mean, last year?

I read somewhere that the AV Club didn’t allow black people until 2004.

Sitting in hs parent’s basement playing X-Box waiting for the guy he paid to finish his journalism exam for him. 

After reading this story, I really want to know what Sam Barsanti did when he was 19.

Czechoslovakia? The same Czechoslovakia that was annexed by the Nazis in WWII?
