“Don’t be silly.”

Yeah, why are people making such a big deal bout this? It’s not racist or anything, it’s just following the racist rules which reflect racist values.

What’s silly is that you actually believe that argument. It’s beyond stupid.

What I’m saying is that Africa has been producing films widely known to be of equal quality to the rest of the world for quite a few decades now (since the 60s, if you go back to Le Noire de...), and Nigeria since at least the late 90s, and during that time, only about a handful of African films, in any language, were…

The rules should obviously be changed.

To be fair the actual award it was disqualified for is named all the way on the, uh, second line of the story, in the first sentence. Way too hard to get that far in the article.

I am well aware of that, but it’s also fucking irrelevant because the rules are the same, they just changed the name because Cuaron needled them during his Roma acceptance speech.

The point of having a category for foreign language film

The autoplay on this page was for Verizon 4G, blah, blah, blah.

Because the exact vision of the creator is sacred. SACRED!!!!! It must not be changed at all.

I can’t read or write, and I think that movies are real.  Please help.

lmao, it’s getting really hard to keep believing in humanity. Isn’t this the equivalent of a chef telling you exactly how long it should take for you to eat and digest their food?

This is not a problem and it is good. This is why they have the feature on every medium for playing audiobooks. If I want to have a slightly different experience in exchange for saving some time, let me fucking do so. Thank you for creating the art, but you don’t get to control how I view it. Painters don’t go around k…

Why does anybody give a shit about Netflix implementing this? It's an OPTION. There's a bunch of other fucking settings nobody ever uses on most applications.

Dudes Netflix isn’t going to sit you down and force you to watch Clockwork Orange on fast forward Clockwork Orange-style. People skip parts of movies all the time or never finish them or hardly pay attention while they're on.

I would have loved this feature, honestly. I watch most Youtube content at 2x speed, I listen to audiobooks and podcasts at 1.75x speed... There are so many times that I’m watching some bs on netflix that hardly has my attention, but I just want to get through it and think “man, I really want to speed this up.”

FFS, people are whining over an OPTION? I frigging wish Netflix had more options. I’ve wanted to be able to stop the credits from auto shrinking since the very first day I had it.

I don’t want this feature. It is of no use to me. It’s obviously of use to some people. It’s an option that you would have to enable as a customer. It literally affects NO ONE. Shut up, Judd Apatow.

Given that this stuff is everywhere, it’s a weak argument—the marketplace of ideas is sorting itself out, just not in the direction Prager and Carolla would like.

Whenever I hear somebody use female as a noun while referring to humans, it is an immediate sign to me that whatever is coming out of their mouth will be deeply rooted in misogyny. I have yet to be wrong.
