3rd Rock was a good show, but otherwise you can count me out of that “universal” with my indifferent attitude toward him.

No, from what I read, HBO Max licensed it for 5 years (not sure what year it ends). This deal is Viacom aiming to get exclusive South Park content on P+ until they can have the full show back as well.

Remember the South Park episode where they had their fictional gay character say that private businesses should have the right to discriminate against LGBT+ people?

“It’s not a surprise that I like Jackie Brown the most, since it’s less his baby than his other babies.”

Yeaaaa this never should have been on Biden to begin with. This was on congress.

I’ve reached the point with Tarantino where I’m so, so tired of schtick. I’m tired of him thinking that his glorification of violence and racism is au courant or cutting edge. Tarantino films announce themselves in a way that strikes as more about ego than art. I’m sure people will disagree with that opinion, but…

My dad (6'4") took my brother (then 6 y/o) to see Toy Story 2. It was a big theater and not full at all. Plenty of seats all around. They sat off center too.

Police Academy 4. David Spade skateboarding.

Your comment is exactly what I’m talking about while at the same time reducing an incredibly nuanced issue to absurdity.

My point is ultimately this: In a discussion about China, why exactly is the west particularly relevant here? Why do we have to comparison shop? One can discuss China and its faults without invoking …

Ok so you’re saying that they aren’t even aware of the Marx quote, then.

Typical. Cuz they’re human and Westerners aren’t, even though last time I checked, we both use toilets.

I think they’re making a deliberate reference to the opium wars between China and the US here, actually.

Yeah, Japan is okay with it though, sadly. Not that it’s a bad thing and people behind such risque designs of female characters are not always misogynistic. Japanese culture is extremely creative, but it’s also misogynistic in a number of modern customs and highly sexually repressed may be a lead.

Because a single player game done by lead dev known for a particular kind of niche product is exactly the same as the biggest MMO in the world played by base consisting of an incredibly wide demographic

When you lash out at people as being “puritans” because they want their female characters to have armor that isn’t a crop top, you’re part of the problem.

Please rethink this approach. Playing devil’s advocate is just a way of telling people that you’re going to reflexively disagree with them and try to poke holes in whatever they’re telling you.

You misunderstand my point. My point is that the devs created a sexist game (I’m just going to use that term for simplicity). I don’t know if that attracted a large sexist group of gamers or created them (and I don’t particularly care), but my point is that by doing update after update of keeping things exactly the…

I think it’s cyclical. The devs on the panel were emboldened by the crowd, but the crowd had been groomed by years and years of WoW where almost every female character looked like a sexual fantasy of one sort or another. From their point of view she was basically complaining that water was wet and the sky was blue,…

After all the Hollywood and Weinstein shit that has gone on longer as open secrets you're still surprised this shit goes on for so long with no consequences?

If you or I go to the mall on a Tuesday there probably aren’t many people talking about Amanda Knox.
