as someone in recovery and having seen the successes and failures of so many people in my recovery meetings, people aren’t textbooks and most of the ideas around addiction are quickly losing merit. especially as we learn how dangerous the purist/disease model and all the “red flag projections” baggage it carries with…

It’s so weird and unpleasant how many teenagers on Twitter feel personally betrayed because this person going through a lot of personal strife divorced his wife.

What Ubisoft should have done for social justice’s sake?

You’d be saying the opposite if he supported whatever you believed in.

You’re conflating these instances. In one its an internal discussion about events that may be modern politics, job dynamics, compensation, etc. — This is for management and the employees to discuss what’s going on and come to something that may benefit them and the company.

*waits for the outcry of whiny cis men bitching about cancel culture and anti-abortion rhetoric*

We get it; all options for releasing Wonder Woman 1984 absolutely sucked.

Holy crap, you wear that username very well.
I didn’t think I’d meet someone with so much insecurities and fragile masculinity as one of the biggest caricature of both those things in cinema.

But there you are. You are beautiful.
I don’t mean on the inside, you sound like a douche. Or on the outside, you’re probably just…

You’re actually spending time trying to make strangers mad on the Internet, because they don’t like a podcast host you like.

I guess the issue is that we (not saying you specifically, just generally on this site) do not want to see someone from a privileged group take a role playing someone from a traditionally discriminated against group, when there are actors from that group. We discuss that on this site as “a cis man shouldn’t play a…

Because fatphobia is a really big problem in America, people are literally disregarded because they are a bigger size. So it does confuse Americans when they see someone stepping in and out of a fat suit and it is hurtful to bigger bodies, like as if it’s that simple to go from bigger to thinner. I’m not doubting…

She owned up to it and is ready to learn from it. Fatphobic culture is so central to American culture, that I think there is something inherently wrong in allowing people to think “fat” is something that you can just step in and out of.

Right, because there’s no issues around Hollywood and weight/size that would make this more fraught than something as benign as hair color. /s

That anyone would find Jeopardy! a bright spot on evening network television is just so sad. 

Nailed it. Just like racism must not be very effectively bred into our society either, considering the rate of people who are not white.

What do you mean is this a thing “now”? Where have you been for the last 30 years?  And actually a lot of people are scared of your weight.  They are scared they’ll one day get fat too, and so that morphs into hatred for fat and fat people.

But given how much everyone hates fat people, I’d say it’s been pretty successful.

I wanted to yell at you and say you’re wrong, but you nailed it SO much on the head. As someone who grew up in the 70's and 80's with a Dad who had a huge mid-life crisis and became one of those fitness nuts back then, I was legit scared to be fat. And I wasn’t THAT big but I felt it. My Dad would make fat comments…

Oh, don’t do that. Homophobia doesn’t literally mean scared of gay people. The phrasing is also used to refer to dislike or prejudice. This isn’t new, and you’re being disingenuous.

It certainly isn’t worth a watch . Poor Mr Mewes is a croaking wreck and the attempts at humour were painful. I still love the first few movies , Mallrats brought me a lot of joy in the 90s when I was young and easily amused.
