Virginia begs to differ.

...the macro point being, a generation with an identity deeply rooted in irony, snark, and being super savvy probably shoulda known better, *might have* played the role equivalents did in previous eras to stem racism, put forth civil rights and end wars.

This is fun. It’s really fun that you are so determined to be right about blaming millennials for all of this for some reason even though 59% of them didn’t vote for Trump which means if they were the only ones voting in that election for president, we would have a different president.

Every group that voted for Trump was enough to sway the election. Every single one of them. The Millennials were a relatively small group in this idiocy. I’m not sure why you’re trying to blame them for this. It’s weird. Your thesis does not hold up to analysis – if the standardized test based education of the Millenni…

41% of Millennials is not a lot. White men, older people, white women, suburbanites... way more than 41% of those groups voted for this regime and way more of the older generations actually voted. 41% of Millennials who voted voted for Trump. That’s pretty low number.

This would be more likely to be a true thing if the mass of his supporters were Millennials, but they aren’t. They are people who went to school in the 50s and 60s and 70s when school was “good.”

I haven’t seen the doc but did read about this and it is ALL I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT since I heard the news. 

Oh hey! Johnny! Ex-big-fan here. I have some insight about what you’ve done to deserve all this:

I’m afraid that just isn’t accurate. It was very clear at the time that the film was about a trans-man. If you presumed otherwise just from seeing who was cast, that’s cool, but the advertising, Oscar push, and everything around that was very focused on the fact that Hilary Swank was playing a trans character.

I commented on another thread here that this whole thing with him defending WEINSTEIN made me go, “Huh, well, yeah, I guess I remember that he shit-talked Kim Greist pretty terribly post-Brazil...” in a way that is very familiar from lots of the #metoo stories.

he probably does

Ah, yes, io9, where I go for all my hard news needs.

Yeah, I used to be a big fan but he has said some pretty shitty things re: the #metoo movement that got me thinking about how he talked about Kim Greist after Brazil and I’m like...

No, that’s very late 70s/very early 80s fashion, ergo the caption that says “1980” — actual 80s fashion which came after this was much... more.

Thank you!

what is this frooom? i need kitten musketeers rn.

Yeah, no they weren’t. They are the latest incarnation of GamerGate — same fucking asshole misogynists who did that, did Sad Puppies, instigated the backlash against the recent Ghostbusters, VOTED FOR 45, and rise up to terrorize and abuse any woman or POC related to any genre thing they think peeing all over makes…

WTF even is this comment?

I swear to god, if they don’t have Black Canary playing a major role in the fucking Birds of Prey film, I will burn DC’s film division (skirting around the Wonder Woman sets) to the ground.

We listened to Prince and Michael Jackson.
