I get what you’re saying, but personally (and respectfully): please kill me if this ever becomes a world where ‘political message’ as a critical metric trumps something being reviewed for its craft and art. that’s bias, and it leads to pandering to a certain audience, which is the death of integrity to me. if everyone…

i’m not sure you know how Strawman fallacies work...

...which is shitty and should be avoided if possible? or do you believe this dude should somehow not face legal consequence for a very serious crime that diverts police resources and hurts actual victims being believed? 

see: Beauty, American

it’s based on critical consensus....so not sure how that’s not a reliable gauge of a film’s critical response...

filing a false police report is a crime, last i checked. 

something tells me you’d think differently if it were a Trump supporter being claimed to have been beaten, especially by a black person. 

I think there needs to be an example set for people who take advantage of genuine social justice movements for their own gain, sorry. accusing someone of a serious crime, especially for money and attention, is disgusting. it’s a absolute offense and one we need to take more seriously.

i hope i’m not the only one who…

if only we got as outraged about what false sexual assault allegations do to real victims being believed, instead of naively denying that they ever exist, or acting as if they don’t matter because they’re rare and ‘not as bad as actual assault’. (funny thing, i’m capable of caring about two separate issues at once,…

I can’t believe they didn’t check with Mitski first to make sure it was okay, what dicks! 

right - we should all assume that any offense a man commits is inherently worse than anything a woman does.

i mean, the musician owen pallett won a lawsuit last week against a woman who tried to ruin his professional and person life with false rape allegations because he wouldn’t sleep with her, but hey, i guess she’s…

‘anyone that disagrees with me must be an MRA - a child’s guide to logic and debate ‘

when its men committing various levels of harassment such as this, there’s no grey scale between offenses. totally black and white. but hey, a women does it and suddenly ‘it’s not that bad!’

seriously, get some help.

If you put aside its volatile politics, Get Out was a strong, solid, flawed, debut. It’s not the masterpiece people wanted it to be because of its message, and I think a lot of people were cowed into praising it for fear of outlandish accusations if they critiqued it fairly. I mean, consider all the classic films that…

This is so upsetting. Alex Trebek is the greatest game show host in history. The man radiates warmth and decency, and if you watch regularly, you really feel like he’s a part of your life and family in a big way. I’m crushed by this.

it always bores me when critics consume something that’s clearly meant to be melancholy and serious, and basically beg for tonally-inappropriate levity. 

i’d love it if we could collectively as a society move past the idea of ‘enjoy an artist’s work = supporting that artist’s personal failings’.

i mean, that’s a slippery fucking slope. do NOT tell me i’m supporting disgusting behavior just by consuming a person’s work, that’s insanity to me. and how far back do we go?…

exactly. there’s grey areas and nuance, we can’t lump every possible ‘bad person’ together under one umbrellas. that’s ludicrous. 

i was always of the opinion that Quincy Jones was the real talent behind all those hits. 

glad to know you’re perfect! is this the first or just one of several stones you’re casting here?
