It’s also possible the people they asked either a) have said all they had to say about the matter and don’t want to discuss it again and/or b) had no idea who this producer was and decided they didn’t want to be involved in their documentary.

I think sports is a little different in that regard because there are statistics to measure performance, so you can better prove that someone deserves their success.

For. Fuck’s. Sake. This site hasn’t been THAT site in forever. You fucking oldheads really need to just let that shit go. Seriously. You’ve been whining about this since they got bought out and while I understood and sympathized initially, the time for that shit is done. By YEARS. In the words of the late great…

I want to be very clear that I agree with you generally, and that the take that many will form that Arianna Grande is a seductress fully responsible for this is highly problematic.

I think you’re missing the big picture argument here, which is that you won’t ever see a male character kill himself after alluding to his infertility. 

Sure, but there are literally thousands of ways to kill off a character, and the choices that the storytellers make say something. That’s kind of the whole deal behind artistic criticism?

Dude, I’m fully with you. It’s been a long while since I’ve logged in and I can’t believe there are still guys who are talking about *completely* made up characters as if they are fully autonomous real human beings who make their own choices. Like, even the character’s motivations are made up?

You’re not the guy to gatekeep normalcy.

Deciding to make a character infertile and THEN deciding that to be a reason why the character dies instead of, IDK, any fucking other thing, did not come from women in the writers’ room.

We probably aren’t going to get anywhere productive in a discussion on writer choices when your counterarguments are all about character choices.

My dude, I think you are missing the point here.

Luca was real good. Kinda unfairly forgotten.

Lev Grossman’s Magicians trilogy already did the whole “author who is obviously a stand-in for C. S. Lewis is secretly a child molester” angle.

My favourite story was when Michelle Philips, of The Mamas & The Papas, first saw Star Wars her reaction to Han was “That’s my pot dealer! I didn’t even know he was an actor!”

I assume its Shell Sea not Chelsea

You probably wouldn’t. You either want a normal friendship with them, or to have a job as their personal assistant, which would be a paid position.

They were children, you leaking asshole.

“Your Honour, I merely sent those dick pics to that teenager because, gosh, they were just cluttering up my hard drive and I needed to get rid of them. They weren’t even that good, anyway.”

There’s probably a thesis someone could write about how some introverted geeks found fame and success on Youtube, got a whole following of other introverted geeks, and the various controversies that arose from leaving these situations to self-manage.

“but that’s not the point of your mob mentality, is it?”
