They love trash reality tv. Non-coincidentally, a lot of people here aren’t very smart.

Alternatively, it takes a special kind of cynicism to milk personal trauma for fame, attention, and ratings.

You are so dumb.

I dunno. When living in San Francisco, I was twice mugged. Both times, I gave over my wallet easily. Both times, I was carrying just enough cash to buy MUNI fair if I lost my MUNI pass. Both times, my assailant threw my wallet back at me (still containing the few bucks) and called me a name.

Since you’re trolling up and down this thread, hey TomatoFace.

That is pretty terrible. I’m so bad with British accents though. I have to turn the subtitles sometimes when I’m watching something. Like tom hardy’s character in peaky blinders, if you’ve seen that. Otherwise, they all kinda sound the same to me. Which I’m sure sounds nuts to a British person.

You dont watch the news much, huh?

“A terrorist attack carried out by a Tunisian citizen driving a truck killed 84 people on Bastille Day this year.”

Terrorists also use trucks. See the Nice attacks earlier this year.

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

How is asking questions equated as have Cho do Swinton’s “intellectual labor”? That assessment seems colossally unfair.

I mean, she can do all the bits she wants, but she really trashed Swinton here. At what point does your bit have to be at least a little bit true if you’re going to trash someone in it? The e-mails make clear that the exchange was civil and pleasant. Overall, Swinton appears open, even if she doesn’t address Cho’s…

How does one determine when she’s speaking as an advocate and when she’s doing a bit. Is her whole push for more Asian representation just a joke? 

This is a weak take.

That’s not right either! People can be entitled or privileged in a variety of ways. Men (even gay ones) sometimes act like shit towards women due to entitlement/privilege, and straight people (even women) sometimes act like shit towards gay people due to entitlement/privilege.

Yet a white American feels sufficiently entitled to critique a movie she hasn’t watched.

Movie is made with Chinese money for Chinese market by a Chinese director. Yet a white American feels sufficiently entitled to critique a movie she hasn’t watched.

Except I’m a gay man

You probably would if your claim was more about how the laws unduly burden your constitutional right to obtain an abortion. But if your claim is a religious freedom claim, you can’t get standing until your religious freedom was actually violated.
