Being able to ignore someone’s political view, and to remain completely unaffected by it no matter how good/bad, is the definition of privilege.

Way to share your personal feelings about others political views...
Ask for your money back.
hmmmmmm
They have an insane level of power and so little oversight, Clarence is cheaper than a Senator and can weild even more power and influence with no accountability to constituents. Republicans bitch about Bernie being a lifelong politician and living on the public dime, at least he has to answer to his constituents and…
America is great because you find out that an unelected official who makes decisions that affect the lives of millions of people for decades is accepting obvious bribes and you just kind of have to shrug and hope someone does something about that.
I do not do caffeine and have not for 30 years. I drink water, lemonade or root beer when out. I did not have to read the print on the lemonade until I saw this stuff at Panera one day not that long ago. I know what root beers have it and what ones do not. I would rather not have to read fine print just to have…
If that is really, truly what happened, and the tox report wasn’t falsified, then yes it could happen to anyone (that’s taking a cop at his word, though, so not exactly reliable). But a police officer knows to report it right away, and notify next of kin if fatal. That did not happen, and with the mom’s story about…
Or, and you’ll have to go with me here...
The signs on the lemonade dispensers are clear enough, but personally, I find the “as much caffeine as our dark roast” thing a bit sus - most people aren’t drinking 30 oz of coffee in one go, and if they are, they’re expecting the caffeine.
This. She’s going to get asked about it constantly, so OP’s suggestion is that she respond ‘I didn’t watch it.’? Yeah, that’s going to go over well, I’m sure nobody would crucify her for that.
I’m amazed by how often assholes share this take because they are constitutionally incapable of listening to other viewpoints.
eh, she’s a rising star and a native american, makes sense she’s going to be asked about this movie a bunch of times and i’m sure there was pressure on her to see it and comment on it, at least in support of the Osage crewmen and native american actors
I think as a prominent Indigenous person in the entertainment industry, there’s a level of expectation for her to see it and provide her opinion on it. Even for people who don’t feel pressure as public figures, there’s often an expectation from others in your cultural group that you’re gonna watch that buzzy movie…
Part of the point of these criticisms is that the effects of genocide are ongoing. That includes white domination of who gets to tell stories. The reason that only a white male director gets to tell these stories is because white male directors have benefit from that genocide.
All I know is I want to hear more from white people about how her opinion is invalid or wrong. Especially from people who admit they haven’t even seen the movie.
LOL. I love your sense of self importance. As if anyone gives a shit what you “buy” and how much sympathy you have. But as a person who no doubt has strong ties to the Osage people and their history, I’m sure we can all agree your skepticism is a valuable addition to the conversation.
No she is saying that Marty didn’t take the appropriate care in directing the movie.
Isn’t that sort of the problem she’s pointing out?
Right-wingers bedrock belief that Hollywood is liberal is easily disproved when Dancing With the Stars hired Spicer, The Masked Singer hired Roodles, and, most egregiously, SNL hired Trump to do episodes. Turns out entertainment companies are giant, multinational corporations that are more aligned with Republican…
