They probably could have said fuck it, skipped all the make up and just given him a lab coat.

The problem with that slippery slope argument is that the transitions between South Park > 4chan > GamerGate > Trump > Capitol Hill are doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in this imaginary pipeline.

On the flip side, plenty of people who were a-ok with Paul Feig’s lazy generic SNL improv bonanza suddenly seem to care a lot more about the tone/continuity/legacy of Ghostbusters now that it’s no longer an exercise in choosing whether you’re Team SJW or Team Incel.

Culture wars are duuuumb.

That’s kinda fascinating to me cause I assume that’s meant in a bigotry of low expectations kind of way, but over in UK being “well-spoken” would very much be a classist thing and Rashford is and sounds the very exact opposite of posh.

Rashford is already well on his way towards becoming one of the greatest and most influential footballers of all time, at only 23.

He’s like the anti-thesis of every lazy right-wing talking point (universally beloved, insanely talented, rags-to-riches story, puts his money where his mouth is, sticks to his talking…

This whole recent passive-aggressive anti-Tarantino movement is just an exercise in being mad at him for the usual n-word/violence stuff without coming around full circle to looking like a 90s moral crusader.

Context: 8 months ago I made fun of Laserface for being annoying as shit and he’s been completely unable to get over it since.

18 likes as well, it was a banger!

No official source as of yet, but at this point it’s probably safer to assume Tyler hasn’t just spent half a decade ironically pretending to be bi.

sssh

I joked about it further up, but the music media did repeatedly try to cancel him up until he a) became a more legitimate artist with Flower Boy, and b) came out which really undercut the whole “homophobia” angle they were pushing.

Putting aside the false equivalency at hand here, I need you to understand that thirteen-year olds aren’t going to stop being awful to each other over a vague threat of being cancelled on Twitter a decade later.

Wasn’t excessive in-your-face flaunting of wealth/class already considered gauche a decade ago when Girls first came out?

They couldn’t cancel Tyler when he was at his peak edgelord ten years ago, they sure as shit ain’t gonna be able to do it now that man’s a bona fide legitimate artist and one of the few openly gay rappers out there.

“What a shithead, pushing forward the most progressive agenda in modern history since taking office!”

I mean say what you will about either Tulsi or Rogan, but “the Democrat for paranoid conspiracy theorists / dictator apologists” is exactly the kind of wacky shit you would expect on JRE.

Rogan had welcomed Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard on the podcast, but he turned down requests to host Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden. He said he’d prefer to “talk to his friends,” which presumably didn’t include the first openly gay presidential candidate, a…

A handful of posters here are more obsessed with being constantly validated as “one of the good ones” whose opinions are solely informed by their opposition to whatever side the gamers/dude bros/nerds/MAGAtards/incels/etc. might be on.

It’s why the last thread on this subject featured so much hand-wringing whether this…

The most pathetic thing was that it wasn’t even to defend Joss Whedon, who had already been somewhat cancelled anyway, as much as to reflexively deny the possibility that the Snyder Cut people may have actually been correct in some way.

All because Zack Snyder (why by all other accounts seems like an all around nice…

Aye, it’s a funny little Hollywood novelty that this film got made at all so I’ll be inviting a bunch of people over, we’ll get very drunk and then likely rip into it for the mindless trash it is, and one way or another we’ll probably make a very memorable night out of it.
