It won’t be read because people love reducing a point to pre-thought “both sides” arguments instead of processing it. People think in twitter format.

I inflicted myself The Exorcist. Not my beloved Friedkin movie, but the (first season of the) TV series. Which is, basically, the opposite.

But it’s one thing to criticize the new movies’ mundane shortcomings in an overly melodramatic way, and it’s another to criticize them for being... “inclusive” or “politically correct” or “feminist” or “non-segregationist”. And RLM isn’t guilty of that.

I didn’t engage with the original article indeed. I’m only reacting to the reactions to Maxleresistant’s post. Where I didn’t see any ambiguity. The context didn’t allow “To me it’s the exact same thing as Gina Carano, I just don’t give a crap about what famous people do or think” to be interpreted as “there’s no…

Well, silencing conservative discourses beyond a certain threshold of toxicity and misinformation is actually legitimate (some discourses and worldviews have to be eradicated from the public space that otherwise legitimizes them, because words, ideas and beliefs have very practical consequences). And again, there’s…

But the vaguely klanic craze of “there is a black man and also a woman in the movie, they are ruining my childhood” had started before these quotes. 

That’s exactly my opinion on you people, on this.

Okay, because of the kneejerk crowd flocking on that comment, I have to state explicitly that I agree with you. And I’m not really addressing you, here, but the crowd in question : 

It’s odd. When exactly did Star Wars replace Pepe the Frog as the new neonazi rallying flag and cultural property ?

Ah. I was just smurfing that it smurfed the same thing in english as in french.

Yes they would. A clear upgrade from the Scientifically Accurate™ Spider-Man.

(You’ve written “Hunter Schafer” under that Franka Potente picture.)

Am also skeptical of this causality given that 1) the vaccine is being used on everybody, 2) anti-vaccination is not predominantly “black”. Sounds more like a “by the way”, or even a “there would be this reason also”, than a genuine sociological explanation.

Already played by Emma Thompson in Years and Years. We’re good.

Saying “people” or “everybody” instead of “one person” is a widespread practice amongst me.

I wish RLM’s “Fuck you it’s january” had been a regular yearly feature.

I consider him, and his brand of (gleeful, gentle, childish, self-depreciating) humor, a perfect match for muppets.

And all while openly considering james bond to be a “fascist”. Relishing the role, yet not without self-distancing and irony. Moore was a light-hearted and fun person without being a naive one.

Good news. Thanks.

Not to mention that 2021 still had trump for almost an entire month.
