The thing is, I really don’t get this “we” and “our”.

I agree with most of this, barring a few details.
The last episode ? I’m confused. You speak of season 7 ? Out of 13 ?
My greek grandmother died with dementia when I was a kid. You can imagine which scenes strike a nerve. The actress who plays Karras’ mother is terrific.
I’m more nuanced than you on whether assholes are humans. I believe in inhumanity. That is, in the double movement of dehumanization (considering your target as subhuman, and, as such, losing your own humanity). It’s a bit of a paradoxical domino row, because it makes me lose in turn my own humanity. But I keep double…
Yeah I was a bit taken aback by “that’s not creepy, that’s capitalism”. But I know what you mean.
Oh the things you can justify with broad populist feelgood statements just as “we are just calling for bigotry to end”. You spare yourself any question about the limit of “tolerable” bigotry (cultural beliefs, family background, collective history, ignorance - you basically condemn all those without an anthropology…
I mean the job is irrelevant “to” the fault. That’s the question that legitimizes firing a person or not. I’m against firing a plumber because of his opinions. I’m all for firing a teacher, or a cop, because of his opinions. And I put an actor in the plumber category. And this is the sort of relevancy that should be…
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.)
