Radical idea: People who react that way shouldn’t be cops.

Radical idea: That’s actually a good reason not to shoot everyone who looks like they’re carrying a gun.

They don’t shoot *everyone*, though. They manage to bring in armed people all the time...somehow. I’m sure the differences in those decisions are also related to implicit (and not-so-implicit) bias, but another…

The main conflict of the movie *isn’t even the Sovokia Accords* (that’s dispensed with pretty early, and everyone seems to have ended up debating the movie they *expected* to see instead of the one they actually did) but I think I’m stuck on your main point here essentially being that *you don’t like thinking.*

I don’t know if you know this, but in our real world, people who have committed no crimes actually are looked up for potentially being a “danger to self or others.” That’s a thing.

It’s telling who gets included in the “we” of “themes that we can relate to.”

“it’s not bad enough that he didn’t get to do Wonder Woman” Why is that bad.

Look, the criticism of the script (which doesn’t actually have to be criticism of him as a person! Amazing!) already existed. This article used it as a hook to make a related point, while making it clear they weren’t here to pick on him.

None…

Birth of a Nation was criticized as racist *at the time it came out.* The concept of racism wasn’t invented in, like, 1960.

Try again.

“Complaining about a script from more than a decade ago is about as mild a hot take as I can imagine.” It was literally *supposed to be* mild. It was mentioned because people were already talking about it. The actual point was about how to write male love interests *in the future.*

I mean, Jesus. If you can’t even read…

“I think it just makes me angry that we can’t celebrate art while also moving forward. Buffy and Xena were awesome! And also we can do better (and be more representative)! We can do two things!” I mean...yeah? We can? So I don’t know why you’re not doing that? Does every criticism of Whedon’s work, no matter how…

Gee, that’s weird, because the criticism here was pretty light (in fact, it was made quite explicit that the point being made wasn’t about Whedon at all) and Age of Ultron wasn’t mentioned, so I might ask it is that makes anything less than fawning praise of a self-identified male feminist writer read as an attack to…

And you’re criticizing an article that wasn’t written. Levels.

“maybe after the boyfriend we were supposed to infer she was purposely closing herself off from getting any news about Jess.” That’s actually explicitly stated. 

“She probably hates everyone she doesn’t know or like.” Nah, pretty sure she’s just racist.

It’s also pretty convenient to blame racism on mental illness and think it can be solved by just taking out the “bad” white people, what’s it like to have your head that far up your ass?

I mean, this happened in New York, and (white) people here are pretty obsessed with our (white, not-Southern, not-rural) cops. Especially on Staten Island. They don’t have Blue Lives Matters stickers because they’re thinking of “southern and rural white guys,” they have them because they’re thinking of their uncle…

I don’t think you even understand how contracts work if you think they just spell out every single thing you’re expected to do.

“let’s not forget she CHOSE to go see him in his hotel by herself unsupervised knowing what she was getting into” Sorry, are you saying she knew she would be sexually assaulted?

A lot of people seem confused on this point, but meetings in hotel rooms are normal in the film industry. It’s a problematic custom…

If it was in her contract, it wouldn’t have been a surprise. I know this may be confusing to you.

I hate to tell you this, but if Tarantino is held accountable, he’ll still exist. None of us have the power to blink and make him disappear from the Earth. 

Director her to do something life-threatening that she didn’t want to do. Not that complicated.

I know a lot of directors do it; that’s kind of the problem.

A lot of people are doing that, but I don’t think it’s necessarily implied here. It is true that removing a dictator often makes things worse, at least in the short-term. The fact that he had a reputation for being “for” black folks (even if he really wasn’t) probably did contribute to backlash against them, in…

“You may have inferred from my post that I am neither a teacher or a parent so take what I say with a grain of salt.” Were you ever a child?
