I appreciate that you are engaging in good faith and trying to see my side of things, but the “one dimensional” comment is really grating on me for several reasons.

personally i dont subscribe to the idea that artist and art can be separated. art is personal as fuck to those who make it. I think yes, all things being equal, directors who are not rapists are more deserving. I’m making the assumption that there are other directors of color out there who could write and direct films…
1.) Go to Breibart and observe for a bit. Get a feel for the landscape. The lingo. The power players.
2.) Download some Hans Zimmer scores. “Interstellar” is a good one - lots of loud pipe organs.
3.) Start by doing some mild commenting. Agree with people. Tell them they are making good points. Build a rapport with…
I would argue that given the utter failure of the justice system, the best path to justice we have (perhaps the only one, in fact) is to not financially support his work. And rapists’ work in general. If we, as a culture, stopped excusing rape in exchange for art, we’d have no more shitty Woody Allen films, no more…
I can’t wait for Nate Parker to discuss this. He and his writing partner (co-defendant) used a fictitious rape scene of Nat Turner’s wife to start the rebellion. There’s no historical evidence this happened. Quite a provocative plot device from these two.
“Hi, yes, good evening to the panel... my question is for Nate... it’s a two parter. How you think the woman that you and your buddy gang raped feels about your recent notoriety? And when you had the idea to create a film that was supposed to scrutinize the oppression of a group of people did you openly embrace the…
These are all these Breitbart assholes that are pissed because Milo was banned.
Gooooooooooood. And all the ashy Hoteps out there can miss me with their rape apologist bullshit.
I am really getting sick and tired of this shit. Leslie Jones is a national treasure and one of the coolest ladies ever. I love her and no one deserves abuse like this (except the hackers).
This whole thing has been exhausting, as a sexual assault survivor. It’s like everywhere I turn there are rape apologists—more so than usual.
Too bad. I was hoping Parker would be asked if he’s just a big fan of rape in general or if it was someone else who suggested he add a rape scene to his movie.
NPR had a story about that this morning. One of the poeple they interviewed on a beach in Normandy said he had seen nuns in habits at the beach the day before. No one bothered them. Here’s my shocked face.
This is so ridiculous. How can they not see how absurd this is for police to demand women remove their clothing in public when they pose no threat and are causing no problems?
There can only be one.
Wait, so is HE the Number One Grandma now? Is that how this works?
And, of course, Donald Trump has bragged about how he can blithely murder people in his hometown of New York City without any adverse consequence.
A large portion of White Americans loves being told that they live in a hellhole and they’re being brutally oppressed and that their problems are because of some great big Other who’s been hurting them for so long. And I think they come at that from two positions. First, the rural white, who genuinely was ignored and…
Someone needs to tell Trump that not all black Americans are poor and / or “urban.” It will blow. his. mind.
That tile is everywhere in North America. It makes my blood run cold.
yes. you did read that.
