Moviepass didn’t hurt their business - it increased it. The theater always got full ticket price from any Moviepass users, and Moviepass users on average were going to more movies than they were before it existed.

You don’t want to take 30 seconds to see if you’re wasting your time heading to a theater to see an incredibly popular film? You’d rather get all the way there before finding that out? I mean... cool, if that’s what you’re into. But it seems like a massive self-own.

He’s alleged to have been routinely abusive to people in his employ. There are quite a few stories that have circulated over the years of his mistreatment of actors.

What’s your source that Fisher is an asshole? You just don’t like it when Black people speak up about mistreatment?

Literally every moral code from the last two millennia agrees that we should feel a greater obligation to other people than to ourselves.

Wrong. Intent does not matter - the EFFECT of your language is all that matters. Just because you intend to discuss the n-word, that doesn’t make it okay to spell it out. Because the effect is the same no matter what: causing pain for other people.

If you can have that conversation without engaging in the exact hurtful activity we’re talking about, go for it. But to deadname someone in an article about why you shouldn’t do it is unbelievably petulant, and in no way a genuine bid for understanding or discussion.

Dismissed your reply for deadnaming in an article that explains exactly why not to do it. Get your shit together.

I’m not telling them they can’t be confused - I can’t make people read a short article, nor can I make them understand it. But if you claim you understand this issue and still refuse to honor it, even though you understand you’re being hurtful, you are by definition a douchebag.

I stan Apple, but I ain’t touching these things. One must draw the line somewhere.

I should have phrased it more specifically as: “you don’t get to tell historically marginalized groups how to feel about their continued oppression.”

True dat.

Nothing like doing zero research and then getting called out for it, huh? Now you feel exactly like CDPR does. Be thankful that your ignorance didn’t actually injure anyone.

So people aren’t sending her seizure-inducing videos? How do you know? Oh, you’re just lying? Got it.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? There aren’t “two sides” here - one side is trying to physically harm people. The other side is not. Get your shit together.

If you’re defending deadnaming for any reason, you absolutely CAN eat shit. You’ve been told something is hurtful and just don’t care. Being that miserable is a very terrible way to live life. Be a better human.

I’m just deleting your replies from now on. Calm down, dawg.

They’re selling their actual preorders - you HAVE to have the receipt in order to claim it. It seems like you didn’t read any of the article at all, man. It’s not unenforceable - it’s dead easy to enforce. Can they catch every person doing this? Of course not. Literally no one made that claim.

It’s right in the article: “some are writing or messaging that they have Gamewoori pre-orders, showing their receipts with claim info as proof.”

I did. Literally no one accused people who mess this up of “hating trans people.” If you deadname on accident, you’ve committed an extremely hurtful but fixable mistake. That’s not the same as accusing you of being hateful.
