i think this is devolving into semantics at this point.

If that was your genuine opinion, yeah, i’d respect it.

People seem really puzzled by the concept of other people being allowed to have their own opinions about something lately.

This critic is voicing their opinion about how Spike missed the mark here. That’s what it is. An opinion, a critic’s review on a website that hosts criticism. This really isn’t a hard thing to grasp.

^Exactly. same shit’s going on in the comments of the Taylor Swift story.

Celebrities don’t ‘owe’ us any kind of moral purity on our own terms.

This country is being devoured by willfully-stupid fascist evil and we’re judging this man like a Puritan witchfinding committee for not speaking ‘soon enough’?

Fuck outta here. Get your priorities straight, y’all. This man doesn’t owe anyone an apology for shit.

Except he was joking as part of an elaborate ruse. You supporting it un-ironically just makes you an ignorant asshole who should stick to subjects they understand.

More ignorant insults from people who would never set foot down here but seem to fancy themselves experts on what our states are like.

But I forget, there’s no racism or homophobia wherever you live, right? And there’s no marginalized minorities or LGBTQ+ folks down here right? In the blue cities that skew towards…

^this shit right here

they say nothing, they get judged. they say something, they get judged. meanwhile, they’re still human beings and citizens. imagine, they actually have opinions, too!

Does it matter? She’s doing the right thing now. There’s no Purity Committee she has to pass muster with to be an activist. 

I’m not as cynical as some who seem quick to believe this is pure cynicism/publicity. Celebrities are still citizens and still have a right to express support for their viewpoints. There’s lots of armchair activists out there who’ll criticize her for ‘just saying shit and not doing anything’ (see: elsewhere in these…

THANK YOU (from a Memphian)

We have such a rich history of incredible people who weren’t shit-suckers in this state, and all keeping these kitschy pieces of trash around does is continue to allow northern and western states to dunk on this part of the world, pretending all the racism and hatred is quarantined down here so they don’t have to…

I live in Memphis. It’s a city in TN that’s 70% black. So you might wanna sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up about places you don’t understand.

It’s almost like this site hosts criticism of certain art forms, including cinema. 

Usually dig Spike but got about half an hour into this Wikipedia article disguised as a film and had to bail. I’ve taken enough history classes, thanks. 

Huh, the dudes in Built To Spill sure look different than I recall.

i mean, we’re all still supposed to hate plot armor, right?

So does this mean LGBTQ+ characters can never be killed in scripted television now? I mean, that seems a little absurd... 

it’s amazing how dystopian the premise of the show sounds on paper, honeatly.

It isn’t even just that ‘Cops’ is police propaganda, its poverty-judging porn for the sanctimonious suburban whites of this country, and its always had that gross ‘look at the losers/freaks!’ element to it. good riddance.
