It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but I’m pretty sure Steve wasn’t having sex against his will.

“LMAO deliberately misreading my comment.”

It is important because it clarifies if the person is genuinely arguing what they believe or if they’re making a bad faith argument for other reasons.

So you would never eat anything unhealthy? Never jack off? Never exchange your body’s labour for money? Never return to your wife or lover? Would you eat a strictly vegan diet in case the guy was a vegan? Would you avoid alcohol in case the body was a teetotaler? Would you pray to Mecca five times a day in case the…

Yes, I argued that you can’t not like this movie. You’re surely making a good faith argument there.

You’re confusing narrative consequence with thematic consequence.

I don’t even know where to begin with how wrong you are on this one. You’re the one who brought up the in-universe logic. I’m the one who’s trying to keep it in the discussion of bigger ideas of theme. It just also happens you didn’t understand the in-universe logic which is why I pointed out where you went wrong in…

The former was a bad implication that someone involved with the movie should have seen coming, but I don’t think it really had “Islamophobic shit”. It didn’t even mention Islam at all, if I recall correctly?

“If the magical stone does bad things, why can’t it do good things with zero consequences or caveats that contradict the theme of the movie.”

*InB4 “Yep, it’s a bit.”*

It is. The bit is you continuing to argue a bad faith incel argument despite the fact it doesn’t hold up to even the mildest of lights.

Yes, it’s magic. If it’s magic without consequence then it’s “magic is awesome” which is the opposite of the theme.

There was no sketchy sexual politics and it was for thematic reasons (there’s no magic cure all to loss and magic-paw, be careful what you wish for) , so, uh, wrong on both counts?

He wasn’t unconscious. Steve was fully conscious.

Well it’s a bad faith argument. And it’s used by incels.

This sort of just reminds me of the episode of BoJack Horsemen where they are talking about mass shootings from the perspective of industry people like,
“Its so sad, you always hear about mass shootings affecting other peoples movie openings, but you never think their going to affect your movie opening... of course my…

Oh cool, a bad faith take from Laserface.

Damn Lando, where DID you get that sweet disguise for the Jabba’s palace rescue? They had no idea it was you!

The controversy (which was stupid as Hell) wasn’t about the blood, it was about the B-movie style Satanic imagery (that most grown adults would roll their eyes at) on the shoes causing uproar among Christians (who likely already had it in for Lil’ Nas X).
And a big difference here is that Tony Hawk is actually…

Both of these episodes were meh--funny at times, but not standouts. Which, honestly, is fine. I don’t expect perfection every week, just to be entertained.
