Men are afraid what women will say

It’s more shitty when it happens to writers, activists, authors, etc. who misstep and that’s it for them. And a lot of those people are marginalized individuals.

instead of admitting they are pieces of shit.

I just wanna gripe about the whole ‘CaNcEl CuLtUrE dOeSn’T eXiSt’ line that crops up every time people comment on articles like this. This is just such a lazy, obtuse buzzphrase that people are obviously parroting without putting the least bit of thought into it. It’s the equivalent of a seven-year-old boy being told…

Fair enough - I didn’t realize that, but yeah it sounds like what you and rmlohner say is true.

Honestly... conceptually, Fyre Festival was/is a winner: luxury music festival on a tropic island with a bunch of IG models and influencers. If I was a young, sociopathic dipshit with a shitload of money I’d neither earned nor deserved, I might choose to blow 500K+ at just such a place. And the Netflix documentary…

I wouldn’t really fault Cena for the apology either, to be honest. For one thing, he didn’t actually backtrack in the apology - he basically just said ‘I love China, I’m sorry,’ without ever saying ‘Taiwan is not a country,’ and I can kinda respect that he was doing only the bare minimum to appease the losers. But…

They’re not reasons why Georgians/Ukrainians should hate Russians. They’re reasons why Georgians/Ukrainians do hate Russians. And I use the term ‘hate’ here in the loosest possible sense.

I never said he was.

To be fair, based on a glance at his comment history, he strikes me as more of a: ‘left-winger who’s shunned US imperialism so hard they’ve steered straight into Kremlin propaganda’ type.

First of all, ‘orc’ is a Ukrainian term. Are we talking about Ukraine now?

Yes, ‘propaganda’ is the only reason I can think of why the people of Georgia would have a negative opinion of Russians. Nothing to do with Russia funding separatists to shell and ethnically cleanse Georgians within their own country, then invading and breaking off pieces of their territory (i.e. the same as what…

These blunders aren’t uncommon as American celebrities attempt to wade through geopolitical disputes they have no business in.

Exactly. I’d already assumed it was the case that he pulled the trigger, either accidentally without realizing or as part of the rehearsal process. The prosecution on this case is a shitshow.

C’mon guys, give the conservatives a break! All they had was their one dogshit music genre, and all their efforts in it were completely outshone by a single mediocre rapper who also happened to be black and gay. I’d be pissed if I were them too.

Look, say what you will about Zuckerberg - Lord knows that he deserves condemnation for all sorts of reasons.

My lukewarm take on Jupiter Ascending is that it’s not nearly as bad as it was made out to be, and is actually pretty enjoyable. (That’s what I remember from back when I saw it, at least, but it might have been a reaction to overwhelmingly negative hype.)

Yay! And oh... dear. I didn’t actually realize he’d done that one. I guess as long as you keep him away from the CGI...

The first Extraction was kinda meh, I thought. But Extraction 2 was great. Gave me the fix I was looking for but didn’t get with John Wick 4.
