From what I understand that's just breeding. I never really understood what kinds of genetic modification people are getting upset about, I don't think they know. GMO turned into a buzzword in the 90's around the time everyone was saying they were either going to solve world hunger or completely tap out the worlds…

To be fair, white people are totally why Fear the Walking Dead sucks. We may not be responsible for every bad thing that happens, but this one is on us.

These are the people who think Hell is actually underneath us.

What does Mitch McConnell have to do with this?

I don't even have anything left to say, but it is so strange that you would comment to say that you already stopped commenting that I just had to do it too.

It was so good it blinded you?

I don't disagree with the premise that the point at the core of most issues gets buried in dictated reactions and sweeping generalizations (you've done it here). I just disagree that this is a current phenomenon or that art should or does cater to it universally.

I'm not gonna argue about whether or not slavery was important to the milieu of the civil war.

The problem this movie had to deal with was people see the trailer and saying "Yeah, I don't really wanna see a movie about well of white southern ladies in the civil war. I'd rather see Spider-man." That happened, and it didn't have anything to do with the presence or not of slaves.

You really think people were going to protest the presence of slaves in a civil war movie set in the south? Or preemptively assume they were badly treated background characters? Otherwise the only risk is that people see the movie and then complain that it poorly handled its important background characters. That would…

That whole last paragraph is very defensively insulting to my intelligence, for seemingly no reason. You don't need to prove you are morally superior to me to win the debate about representation in media.

Yeah, damned if you do tell a compassionate story about slave owners during the civil war that ignores the existence of slaves, and damned if you don't bother to care about any element of that premise besides the rich white women.

The stated explanation also kind of ignores the very real value of flat characters. The slaves are an essential element of the story, by virtue of existing. The story isn't about them as characters, so they are fine flat, but the story is very much about a world those slaves live in. They are an important reminder…

Somehow the explanation that it was Sofia Coppola who didn't want to deal with that shit just seems worse than it being their potential customers who don't want to.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, You Better You Bet.

Jokes on you, the separation of church and state is what he calls Putin's taint.

Empathy is a zero sum game, you gotta save it all for yourself.

"Teenage Wasteland" by The Hew

Demanding all our goats was a big tipoff.

I kind of enjoyed the first 45 minutes, and I can kind of see what they were thinking with the middle 45 minutes, but the last half hour was terrible. None of those three parts fit together.
