Yeah, but that doesn't sound as effective to conspiracy theorists to help with their argument, despite it being so blatantly obvious. 

I generally take my shoes off, but the thought of germs and pesticide hasn’t even crossed my mind. I do it for more practical reasons, namely to keep dirt, snow, sand, ABC gum, grass clippings, etc, etc off my floor.

American Conservatives: Everyone should be free.
Also American Conservatives: I’m Fascist 

You may not track in a lot of germs by keeping your shoes on, but it is dirty. The dirt can discolor carpets, rugs, and tatami mats, but it can also accelerate wear and tear.

I have to sadly inform you that yes, you have to state it’s sarcasm because there are genuinely people who believe that around the world. Yes, even in Germany and Austria (which is even harder to swallow considering).

So people are willing to give their ID and be limited to one GPU per 30 days, but not to wear a mask to enter Walmart or show proof of vaccination to eat at Applebee’s? Fuckers.

This is what happens when “tolerance” is thought to be “unconditional acceptance” instead of “principled acceptance”

Where I live it’s rainy most of the year when it’s not snowing, so the issue is mud and wet tracks on the carpet with wearing shoes. Or melting snow spots on the carpet in the winter.  Also, if I step on a cold wet spot on the carpet in my socks during the winter I will go unhinged and come at you like a spider monkey…

That was well reasoned and fair. It’s literally covering what she says in the documentary with a mild parenthetical aside about her recent comments.

There’s a really great quote I found that demonstrates why the “pro-life” crowd is so fervently anti-abortion but seem strangely unwilling to help actual children: they’re easy morality points.

So somebody calls me a faggot, I call them out but I’m actually shaming them by pointing it out and am invoking peer pressure and mob mentality against them but I’m the obstinate one for not silently taking it? Now that’s the logic of somebody who either abuses people or is being abused.

None of the criticisms in this article (save for the mild ones about her recent comments) are actually about her. They are all about the film itself and therefore the people who made it. No one is going after her. You’re conflating this review with other pieces out right now about her inarguably dumb comments. (Though…

So if a famous person says something and a bunch of people are turned off to the point of not wanting to support them, they shouldn't have that option because then it's a "mob"? 

Please don't speak for everyone. I'm pro-abortion AF

The utter absurdity of this. Complaining about cancel culture - critical comments against disgustingly wealthy people on the internet, oh no!!! - as a ‘mob,’ relating it to violence, clutching our pearls while right wing politicians literally use this same cancel culture boogieman for their attempt at justifying a…

Conservatives: Not understanding how those things are not the same.

having supid beliefs is stupid. you can have those stupid beliefs, but once you start trying to force them on others, you’re open to criticism. “tolerance” is not absolute, you act like liberals would be hypocritical to be against nazi cannibal rapist pedos because they’re “tolerant”.

::sigh:: Kinja fucking sucks, man.

To Ethan: I can’t see your full comment, nor can I reply to it, because Kinja has been shitting the bed. Here’s what I could see, fully:

Yes, that is a reductive, simplistic, and stupid “hot take” that conservatives have been parroting since the 90's.

Instead of villainising those who believe that, why not try to understand them. Only then will we reach a common ground and an actual solution.
