Those sorts of things always bug me too - if the female character isn’t portrayed as having a problem with her bf’s terrible behavior, then it either makes her not a fully realized character in her own right, or else someone who’s ok with that bad behavior herself. But, even just having the romantic obstacle be…

Now I’m really starting to wonder why I’m perpetually stuck in the greys if this kind of garbage receives approval without getting any recommendations.

Funny how that “design choice” and casting issue never applies to male actors. Ever.

“It’s just a thing someone decided to do, how can that be sexist?”

lol.

Yes, and they’re shitty design choices? We can criticize choices, especially if those choices end up being misogynistic in practice.

You’re in the grays but I’m going to respond to you anyway because it’s extremely important for you to realise that you are an insufferable bore and will die alone.

The context of the explanation IS relevant, because it’s not an explanation or excuse for the movie itself.

Mark Hamill is explaining comments of his that were taken out of context.

This. To me it falls into the same category as saying that a movie is good because it made a ton of money. And yet it’s more and more becoming a popular opinion.

Fuck YOU, dude. Maybe write up a top 10 list of the best Kinja deals this past week, seems like a good fit for the site.

Oh heavens, an internet stranger has called me a name. However shall I go on.

Of course there’s a reason to be a prick about it. It’s you, isn’t it? My favorite person to be a prick to.

53% of the British public is irreligious.

It’s the BBC they can do what the hell they want, they’re not beholden to the religious right unlike a lot of American production companies.

In fairness, it’s the state religion here in the same way as “Executive Producers” are deeply involved in the production of a film.

it’s not the late ‘60s anymore. I don’t see why they should be branded for all eternity because they were a bit more patriarchal than most other corporations back then.

I absolutely adore Rian Johnson for doing what he did with The Last Jedi. Oh my god, it wasn’t just an excuse to sell toys*, another yearly installment of Franchise Obligation Television? It kinda sorta SAID something, if not about war then at least about our warped attachment to nostalgia? And it made all the right…

When I first heard the idea of this rider I thought that the powers that be would hire diverse crew, but at the bottom of the totem pole, but then I thought that might show itself down the line. Minorities getting their foot in the door now will gain the experience in the industry to move up the ladder. I think this…

You, in the 1960s: Isn’t forced integration just fake integration? 

One, posting the same thing over and over is bad form. Two, it helps to read the article you’re trying to use as evidence. The riders aren’t about casting they’re about crew, which can range from dozens to hundreds of people depending on the size of the production. Not to mention the stats were just an example Smith…
