People have watered down the intended meaning of that phrase to the point that it’s basically just this now:

“How about instead of being a dick online to people you go and take that $70 you would have spent on that game and donate to an org that serves the transgender community?”

“But but but Elon Musk”

“The reviews have all been very positive.”

“Turning Harry Potter irrelevant is also impractical.”

“There is a trans NPC in the game”

“Not buying the game is easy. Giving money to a good cause is hard.”

Spend five minutes on social media outside whatever safe little bubble you’ve built for yourself, and you’ll see hoards of people claiming they’re buying multiple copies of this game just to upset the people objecting to it. That group seems to be evenly split between folks who claim Rowling isn’t a transphobe, and…

“If it was truly “once and for all,” they’d recast Amanda Waller.”

That’s awesome, I love Assassin’s Creed Volvo Land.

Man, the word “probably” is doing a lot of work in that post. You don’t know what this guy’s daily schedule is, for starters.

Honestly, that bit comes off almost like an insightful joke about how washed-up aging comedians try to stay relevant in 2023. “No one is laughing at my jokes. Maybe I should try saying hateful bullshit about trans people and liberals.” Just replace Jerry with Dave Chapelle or Louis CK and you’ve practically got a…

Probably. But that streamer probably has like 20 viewers, whereas AI Seinfeld is a huge internet fad watched by hundreds of thousands of people, so it can’t fly under the radar like many can.

Hot take: X-2 sucked. Just one bland action sequence after another topped off by a really awkward sequel tease, and the only reason people think it’s such a masterpiece is because in 2003 everyone still expected superhero films to be terrible and instead of being terrible, this one was merely boring. Superman…

Ohhh, so that’s why he wanted to fight Superman so badly. Because he contractually couldn’t lose! That’s even stupider than the idea of them fighting in the first place.

Y’all need to calm down.

Don’t say “children” in a Bryan Singer thread, you’ll summon him.

So he’s been working in Hollywood for decades but somehow is completely ignorant of one of the biggest scandals to hit a Hollywood director in all that time? Do you think people in Hollywood don’t talk to each other? I call bullshit.

Yeah, that’s not what happened. The old man doesn’t pass each challenge, in fact he loses the fourth one. His only advantage is that he is exempt from being killed after he loses, which is irrelevant to the reality show version since, you know, no one gets killed.

I love how the prevailing message of the original show was “people who are forced to do desperate things for money are victims of capitalism and we should feel compassion for them,” and now the generic hot take over the reality version is “these people who did desperate things for money deserved everything bad that hap…
