    Something we can all get behind?

    I mean on the one hand I can understand why these films exist. This is a very heavily dark topic, movies or books providing a hero’s journey answer makes us all feel good. Like there is an easy solution and thus we can rest easy, safe in the knowledge that we somehow “helped” by a donation to...

    Something we can all get behind?

    Hmm that’s kind of what I’ve seen the criticism of this film be, from actual experts in that field I feel like this isn’t the first time this group from the film has been involved in a movie that was similarly criticised by said experts. A previous documentary maybe? I don’t know. This all just...

    Something we can all get behind?

    Stopping child sex trafficking is a worthwhile endeavour. It should be stopped! Though the example you gave, I don’t know. I’m already seeing stories popping up of actual anti trafficking workers denouncing the film as a step backwards in actually helping the issue. Mostly through its...

    Something we can all get behind?

    We have some (drunk) crazies here. But ngl, the recent display by America has even drawn side eyed glances from them.

    Something we can all get behind?

    I still legitimately can’t believe QAnon is like a thing. Despite having watched (admittedly leftist) streamers react to them for hours now lol. It’s strangely fascinating to watch. Unfortunately it has apparently come with a heavy price. If the subreddit QAnonCasualties is to be believed Yikes!

    Tennessee A.G. uses private medical records in Republican campaign against trans people

    My thoughts? That’s disgusting!! And that’s putting it politely

    Laughably bad dubs?

    Okay so in todays world of international entertainment, shows, movies and even books need translations in order to reach worldwide appeal. But that doesn’t always go the best route. A very easy example is the rather infamous dubbing of various animes by the company 4Kids from back in the day...

    CRT, unfalsifiable claims, and Kafka-traps

    I agree and sort of disagree. Yes we should absolutely fight racism and I can agree with you that saying everyone is complicit isn’t going to win popularity contests anytime soon. I can certainly see that turning people off. But if our complicity (even if it’s unintentional) is part of the...

    American Medical Bill

    Honestly? When I visited family in California, I gained like 5 kg (I think that’s 10 lbs) in like a week Granted I went out of my way to try fast food that we don’t have here. But even “normal meals” were sugary to me. Like even the bread tasted like it had tons of sugar. And my family are all...

    CRT, unfalsifiable claims, and Kafka-traps

    Perhaps you’re right about that. Unfortunately I’ve found that political propaganda doesn’t really care at the end of the day. You could have a sentence or quote or whatever be as precise as the English language allows and it can still be twisted to fit a narrative. :shrug:

    CRT, unfalsifiable claims, and Kafka-traps

    Ahh so she’s claiming that all white people, as a natural consequence of the power structures designed by society, are complicit in racism. Due to them being born into such structures. Even if they’re largely unaware. That’s honestly not the first time I’ve encountered such a thought. I...

    Dr. Peterson on His "Belief" in God

    Somewhat unrelated but is Peterson…okay? Like last I saw him, he looked as though he had gone through like several withdrawals or something. Poor guy was skeletal.

    CRT, unfalsifiable claims, and Kafka-traps

    Ahh, I see I feel like I encountered this propaganda during the last of my “anti SJW” days. I dunno, it sounds familiar

    CRT, unfalsifiable claims, and Kafka-traps

    *raises hand sheepishly* I tried doing exactly that. Even included her name in my searches. The closest I got to an actual legitimate citation and not just blog discussions or news folks fighting about it was this https://libjournal.uncg.edu/ijcp/article/viewFile/249/116 I’m not American so I...

    Religion as a protected class?

    Whilst I actually do see where you’re coming from. Religion can be seen as an inherited trait by religious communities. I’m a born and raised Hindu and despite my family coming from a sect that openly embraces universalism, there is still a very strong cultural expectation that I follow...

    Remakes you want to see?

    I legit forgot about Peter Pan and Wendy lol To be fair, given it’s rather “lose” copyright status (given that it’s an old play/book) so there are a lot of adaptions out there. I actually kind of forgot that Disney did so many of them lol

    Remakes you want to see?

    Hmm you haven’t seen the Disney Live Action Pinocchio from last year? I mean it hasn’t gotten the best reviews, so it’s fair enough if you chose not to. I chose not to, but that’s me. If you did see it, what did you think? Though a Peter Pan remake would be cool

    Remakes you want to see?

    Ngl, that is quite an “interesting” point of view to have with the character of Robin Hood

    Remakes you want to see?

    Okay so this is somewhat inspired by my friend and I having a cathartic rant together about the Disney Remakes lol Needless to say we’re not really a fan of their live action remakes. (Though I think I’m far more unforgiving than she is.) I know they’re done so Disney can keep the copyright or...
