What the fuck ever, dude. I have bothered to look at what objectification is, and I have a much better understanding of it now than I did, which I very much appreciate. You’d know that if you read the rest of my posts on this article. Everyone else who corrected me on was polite and recognized that I wasn’t being…

Meh, I can’t take you seriously at this point. Not because you’re a woman, but because you’re an asshole.
Hmm, no. I’m saying it’s biology for people (not just men) to judge others on their appearance until they get to know them. It’s innate to human beings. And not just men. Women do it as well. To continue judging people on nothing but their appearance is certainly objectification, no question. But before that it’s just …
I preferred Chappie by its original title, Short Circuit: The Suckening
Well, obviously. ;)
Ha! Now I’m wondering why his parents didn’t just name him Dracula Stoker. I mean, how cool would it be to be named Dracula Stoker?
Okay, I have to ask: how do you pronounce Dacre? Is it like DACK-ur? DACK-ruh? DAKE-ur? Dack-RAY? I don’t know how to say that.
Interesting list. I was not familiar with that. Thank you for sharing it.
You’re right. I got hung up on a single point without regard to the rest of the article. I guess because I’ve seen other people make a similar argument as the entire basis of their larger point, which was that men are inherently perverse and stalker-y and everything else that’s bad bad bad when in reality it’s just…
I suppose it depends on how willing you are to go along with that conceit. I don’t really know. I will withhold judgment until I see it, I guess.
One major point of contention: the scene in It with Bev and the boys was NOT gang rape. She did consent to it. It’s still pretty weird, but you are nevertheless mischaracterizing it. King has some issues, sure, but he would never endorse his main protagonists and the heroes of his story being rapists. I think the…
I should add: the stalker-y stuff you’re describing definitely gives me pause though. I completely agree with you that that is not acceptable.
Alright, I’ll take your word for it. But in general I feel like there is often a tendency for people to say something is objectification when really it is just an honest assessment of the reality that the first thing people tend to notice about someone else is their appearance. It sucks, but it’s biology. You meet a…
I think it’s because people don’t want to be reminded that they’re being nostalgic while they’re being nostalgic. They want to feel like kids again without it being pointed out that they are actually old and silly. Personally, I don’t care either way. I am old and silly in some ways. I’m still not going to read this…
Wait, so, describing someone’s physical features and pointing out you find them attractive is always objectification? I thought objectification was when you only cared about the physical features and everything else about them was irrelevant. I haven’t read the book (and likely won’t) but that doesn’t seem to be the…
But where does Venti fit in there?
Yeah, to me Punisher has always pretty much just been Rorschach without the mask. He’s the guy who loooooves to kill all the people he sees as scum and filth. He’s a fucking scary dude about two small steps removed from fascism already, just like Rorschach.
Okay. But he kind of looks like that in all of them, doesn’t he? It’s just the way they designed the character. I like it myself. It gives Pennywise an animalistic quality that adds to his inhumanity.
Yeah, these are great. My favorite is the Jeremy Pallier one. It’s not as scary as some of the others but it definitely has an eighties feel to it, which fits the film nicely.
