truth. it seems all other crimes, we investigate before the presumption of guilt, and we do so both legally and in our personal lives. but this is somehow different? no. a crime is a crime.

The excuse ‘well this isn’t a trial’ always rings false to me. No, we may be talking personal damage/reputation damage instead of legal penalty (as if that’s somehow less serious, which is insanity...the way people have dismissed the impact on one’s life and mental health a false accusation can have shows a serious…

So if you saw through this for the staged situation it was, that somehow makes you a closet bigot? that’s a serious extreme to jump to, there. Some people just want all the facts before assuming someone is guilty. It’s what we’ve built our admittedly flawed justice system on. Plenty of innocent folks are in prison and…

we can care for the well-being of victims while also not rushing to immediately ruin someone based on someone’s word alone. there’s a balance to be sought here, i think. either outcome is serious and caring about one person’s shitty outcome does not cancel out caring about the other persons’. I want to see progress in…

*cough*recognitions*cough*

i hope this helps many well-meaning but heretofore naive folks to realize that no one, of any race, gender identity, or sexuality, is above making horrific mistakes in the name of vengeance or personal gain. that’s a human failing across all classifications. there’s nothing wrong with due process and gathering facts…

people didn’t hate the reboot because they all HATE WOMEN, they hated the reboot because it sucked. i imagine this is what Reitman is referring to.

but hey, keep that paranoid fake outrage going for clicks, i guess.

i think, in the near future, we can expect a lot of mediocre movies with social justice cred getting overhyped by guilty white folks afraid to go against the woke tide. fun stuff!

don’t you know that all white people are members of a shadowy cabal dedicated to making sure certain races are omitted from awards shows?

You should really try to bottle that telepathy and omniscience. The world needs more self-appointed experts. 

Henry is so deeply irritating that it makes me pine for Korl. How strange.

I rolled my eyes pretty hard at West almost dropping the N word. It’s entirely out of character. He’s given no indication he’s even subconsciously racist. Did this show just feel it needed to point out that every white person imaginable is auto-racist? It was a needless and tacky gesture, boring button-pushing.

“There’s some grim satisfaction in seeing a well-to-do white man, as secure in his position as he is in his skin, being played by a couple of cops just looking for an excuse.”

I’m sorry, but this is fucking terrifying. If you get ‘pleasure’ out of police brutality because it’s aimed as a white person/upper class…

i don’t think we get to decide who ‘deserves’ genital mutilation. 

that’s a very fascist response to dissent. ‘just try to shut up anyone that disagrees with you’. terrifying. 

if the genders were reversed, say, if a dude was regularly physically and emotionally abused by his wife and so he retaliated by say, cutting off a nipple, no one would be expressing any sympathy or trying to paint dude as a victim. they’d be expressing the same sentiment you’re expressing above. ‘nothing justifies…

i hope you age out of your naive, puritan black-and-white morality and discover nuance.

lol, this is just getting more hilarious as it goes on. 

well...that was a wild ride
