Y’know, I wouldn’t say that I was super-enlightened or conscientious when I was in middle school, because I probably wasn’t, and despite my nerdiness I was probably not that different from the average American 12-13 -year-old boy circa the mid-’80s.

Yeah, it reminds me of the Sad Puppies who are angry that contemporary SF doesn’t look like the contents page of an issue of Analog from 1961.

I think first of all, the person in question has to be willing to open their mind and learn. Maybe it’s the optimist in me thinking this, but maybe Ernie will take a step back, do some introspection, and actually try to learn exactly why what he said bothered so many people. I’ve said this before though and I’ve been…

So, we can’t call out bigots according to you. Got it. We must coddle them and make them feel good about themselves and then they will magically change. Sure. And educating them? How do you educate people who refuse to be educated? Anti-science, anti-education is the right wing way. They are proud of it. 

Maybe if people like him were willing to be educated, people wouldn’t attack. Unfortunately, since Limbaugh and Alex Jones, et al, right wingers just double down and stay on the offensive until the offended get enough and push back.

is everyone dogpiling him and demonizing him really the best way to end his problematic viewpoints?

I was wondering when this would be covered here.

Great.  Just great.  Right-wing nutjob incels now have a new hero. 

Who is still a diehard Matrix fan?

I will say I don't really care one way or another on this but when you're putting the fucking Ewok movies on Disney+ what's the harm in releasing this?

I wish they’d just put it out, without any fanfare, the way they just put out Droids this month. 

There’s plenty of silliness in the various Lego Star Wars shows and Lower Decks amused me quite a bit.

I will speak of one positive. I don't mind Iglesias' voice for Speedy. I groaned at the announcement, especially since Speedy's current VA already has multiple roles in the movie, but I'm glad Gabriel is actually doing a Speedy Gonzalez voice and WB didn't go all DreamWorks on it.

Seth Green is a better person than me. I can’t imagine spending four years of my life working on something the people it’s made for will never see because of the company that released Rise of Skywalker.

If Disney can release MODOK, there’s no real excuse to not put this out. Unless MODOK is now canon and part of the MCU?

Fuck Disney and their monopolistic Bullshit. And you know what, fuck “the Canon,” too.

Saying “it will never be released” is like a dare to so many people out there. Maybe a benevolent torrenteer with connections might make it happen?

Couldn’t be any worse than the Rise of Skywalker.

I can understand Disney wanting everything to be canon, and jettisoning all EU materials to make way for their own “one-true canon”, but at the same time...Detours was NEVER intended to be canon in the first place.
