…I never said I was new here, but I will admit to ignorance about this “Playbook.”

…I’m confused; you came here and responded to me?

Man, you went from “I understand what you’re saying” to being willfully ignorant about this situation and deliberately reductive of my take.

Did i ever intimate a cause-effect relationship between the two? Now *that* is reductive!

I’d love to hear more about how it’s reductive to draw a connection between anti-trans rhetoric in entertainment and anti-trans legislation gaining traction. I won’t hold my breath though.

There’s something deeply ironic about you reading that response and saying “they always jump to calling you a nazi,” and being the one to actually bring that term into the conversation.

…so you agree the pipeline to success is narrow for black women rappers in particular but are expressing disagreement with the notion at the same time. Always here to argue for the sake of argument.

I’m saying rap is characterized that way; this article for example, characterizing it as such a shame that Nicki has elected to be so mean to Megan.

“Stop acting like you’re under attack!” he said, logging on in defense of the rich entertainer.

I’d say declaring “I’m a terf and proud” in the midst of seismic anti-trans laws denying basic human rights getting passed is advocating for something incredibly terrible, but hey that’s just me.

You got me for a second; nice job.

Let’s zoom out to the industry which pushes women out so aggressively that the moment there’s a new popular woman rapper the previous top dog has to immediately zero in on them, the culture watching and clucking its tongue at how “nasty” the artists are to one another and how mean rap (as a genre, ignoring, again, the…

…why the incredulity? It’s a real job someone has to do during any sporting event; why *not* hire someone high-profile to get media outlets to write about it?

It reminds me of Goat Simulator: a game that looks outrageous, is amusing to see others test the limits of, but ultimately doesn’t go deeper than that first aesthetic impression. 

But its resemblance to Pokemon starts and ends at the models of the creatures; it’s not like they ported any of the mechanics of the Pokemon games themselves. 

Decolorized versions of movies tend to make me scratch my head unless the director was specifically reaching for a throwback tone with the movie. Parasite and Mad Max are such odd choices (especially Mad Max, a movie which takes great advantage of color), but I get it with The Mist and Godzilla. Why I’d give it a shot…

I like Julien Donkey Boy a lot too; the limits of Dogme 95 curb his impulses a little bit.

I’ve said my piece ✋😤🤚

While Paulie is an all-timer character/performance (my favorite Paulie moment is his silent glower as he’s racing to Chrissy’s house to do donuts on the lawn), it does feel like a rare synthesis of great writing and an actor who is a genuine character.
