One my cousins used to always give me the usual lines regarding the infestation of entertainment like "it's always been political/woke", "you are uncomfortable with female leads", "you are just mad because white males aren't in everything" along with all the other stuff everyone on here has heard.
The other day he called me after trying to watch the Obi Wan show on Disney plus and apologized to me because he said he couldn't unsee or unhear everything I had been saying. His preteen kids got bored with the show after one episode and he tried to keep watching but he said that it was blatantly obvious there was an agenda and that maybe I wasn't crazy when I said there was an obsession with diversity and less white representation.
I had already cancelled my disney plus when Obi Wan premiered but when someone told me that it was basically a Leia and Reva show I wasn't surprised. I remember hearing that it was originally supposed to be a show focusing on Obi Wan and Luke but the female showrunner said she wanted to include Leia (showing how clueless she was about the lore). It really made me sad to see so called star wars fans defending it by saying "well, it never said Leia had never met Obi Wan or him and Vader hadn't fought multiple times".
There is an EU book called Kenobi that is good. It is Obi Wan watching over Luke from a distance and getting reluctantly sucked into a skirmish between the Tusken Raiders and the local farmers. At least that author understood the lore he had to work with. Honestly Obi Wan could've been a massive hit.
The biggest problem that modern fandoms have is they see one decent episode and they’ll immediately defend the next 4 seasons of pure drivel. Association bias to a dindu degree. All the woketards rushing to defend marvels right now can’t even say anything about the movie other than “it was fun” or “better than (other crappy marvel film)”, they can never make an objective statement on why it was good.
In the comment section of RK Outpost (yes, I know I should stay away from comments but this dude was ridiculous) this guy said I was just mad there were no white people. I told him the only thing I was upset about is seeing one of my loves (comic books/collecting) being infested by people who hate the hobby and making it mainstream.
They always have the same buzzwords. People like that exist in such a state of denial they truly believe that the material will somehow get better if you blindly support every decision made.
I mean, that's just classic abusee logic. Buying your significant other a nice present once will have them defend you through like 6 beatings.
That's the lefts take on Biden. Can't name anything specific he's actually done but "he's better than that last president". Okay so he's better than the guy you called Hitler for 6 years. High bar.
What's really said is the amount of non-Americans who also unironically believe this. There are so many Euros who just blindly think Biden is better than Trump for reasons they can't name; all because the media told them to think so. It's maddening.
Kinda sucks that Dr Who is probably going to go through that very soon with the Tennant episodes come up.
Yea. Really sad what has happened to Dr Who and the disrespect with the timeless children nonsense. At least the classic episodes are on Pluto. I eventually want to get them all up to Matt Smith’s run. Capaldi is a good actor but Bill was a very annoying character
As annoying as Bill was, I didn't mind her season, because it brought Capaldi back into the limelight a little more compared to with Clara who Moffat kept pushing further and further to being someone on par with the Doctor, and it was just completely retarded.
So yeah, Bill was annoying, but her ineptitude let The Doctor be The Doctor again, rather than taking a back seat like in seasons prior to that.
And yeah, shame what happened with Dr Who. Maybe I'll be wrong and RTD will fix it, but I highly HIGHLY doubt that with his history (writer for fag-fest "It's A Sin") and the abysmal casting choices.
Capaldi was a great actor. I got tired of Bill but never Capaldi. I gave Jodie a chance and stopped watching after the Rosa Parks episode. When I heard about Timeless Children I was furious. I’m with you about RTD. Considering the times we live in I have trouble believing it will be good.
I admit, I did watch Jodie's finale months later out of curiosity with bringing the other Doctors back, and what annoyed me was that it wasn't a terrible episode. It wasn't great, but it was at least passable, and it was annoying because it showed they were capable of something of acceptable quality and continually fucked it up over and over and over instead.
That would be annoying. Also I feel it is just spite to come out and have an endless amount of doctors. Also I never understood the need for a female doctor. They could’ve just done a spin-off with a female time lord
Missy was definitely testing the waters to see if they could get away with the whole gender change stuff for Time Lords. And that too sucks because they got really lucky by having an actress that did a pretty good job of the character. That said, they did do the predictable thing of trying to redeem The Master/Missy, but only for the female version, and once the Master regenerated again, he was back to being full blown evil because he was a man.
But yeah, going off with someone like The Rani, or a new original character, River, or even someone like Jenny from The Doctor's Daughter would have been better than this, and if I'm honest, better than Whittaker. She might be able to do other scenes really well, but even for the good episodes, her acting is still subpar for the type of shop Doctor Who ultimately is.
Did you see the Star Trek SNW Musical episode?
Eventually, some insider will talk about what happened at Lucasfilm all these years. I bet the situation their is completely crazy and Kathleen Kennedy completely unhinged, Stalin style.
True. Also, I think whenever Lucas dies we will get his unfiltered opinions like when his ex-wife died. I think he must have signed a non-disparagement clause although the white slavers comment as well as telling the middle school kids that disney had moved away from his vision probably annoyed them.
I honestly believe Hamill must have been warned because he was crapping all over the Last Jedi before it came out and then changed his tune. Last Jedi defenders always reference that.
There are dozens of stories about how the execs and powers that be cover up for shit, all the way from bad writers to out and out crimes. And anyone who notices is either completely cut out of the picture (Johnny Rotten, Gina Carano) or is essentially shoved into a padded room until they crack and become compliant (Kanye, Britney Spears).
I think the "put a chick in it and make it lame and gay" thing is probably closer to the truth than anything else.
closer to Mao and his great leap forward, although the Irony of Stalins death would suit her better i feel
I think Kennedy gets way too much credit for masterminding the whole woke saga at LucasArts under Disney. All of Disney's divisions are doing the same thing -- Marvel, Pixar, Fox, etc.
Kennedy is an easy scapegoat; not that she's innocent by any means, she's as bad as the rest. But it's obvious there are a lot of ESG/DIE-style fanatics at all levels of Disney's gargantuan infrastructure pushing for this nonsense across all of their properties -- there isn't one section of Disney that isn't infected to the same degree as LucasArts, which is why it was so disappointing when South Park got a bunch of screaming monkeys who claim to be Conservative to latch onto this idea that Kennedy is the big-bad of the woke movement, and not the overarching establishment pushing this from the top-down across every cultural sector (including politics).
1980s movie message: believe In yourself. 2020s movie message: be a fag
Alternate 2020s movie message: if you're female, you're the main character and you're always right.
Glad to hear it man. It feels especially good when it's family.
I'm going to try something similar with one of my family members. However, they are going to be very hard to pull in.
I think what I'll do is tell him upfront everything he thinks he knows about Trump is wrong, and let him interrogate my belfies. This is the same person who said, "there is no Leftwing movement in the US", and "Colleges are right-wing". To be honest, those are arguments from reference, so there's no point debating the label, I'm going to focus on the position and see if he can become comfortable understanding the dissident perspective, even if he disagrees with it.
It still boggles my mind how people can think nothing is left wing. Unless they think they are normal and those who disagree are lunatics
it's the same thing that it always is: Social Democracy is Right-wing, Democratic Socialism is Centrist, and REAL Leftism has never been tried.
This is Left & Right are non-objective, referential positions.
Years and years of brain washing can do that. Before gamergate I remember reading an article about sarkeesian being "harassed" and just didn't think much about it. Same with real politics I just ignored it all, even voted very left wing all those years ago. When you get the redpill stuff just falls into places and you can tell you lived a lie.
I actually felt sympathy when I heard about female gamers being harassed. Then I got sick of every gaming publication constantly talking about women in gaming as if they didn’t know certain games tended to appeal to men. As for the “harassment”, I’m sure most of it is just standard trash talk. By their definition the trash talk between me and my buddies when we played FIFA and Madden could be seen as “harassment”
A couple reasons I think:
That said, I still don't know how pants on the head retarded you have to be to claim colleges are right wing.
I think I made some headway just explaining my perspectives, but I still got this gem:
...
WUT???????????!!!!!
Literal Red Skull Jordan Peterson.
This is why it's important to keep fighting. They want you so demoralized you don't even try.
Remember, you aren't trying to convince everyone, just convince someone who's listening. In a debate, you win over the crowd, not the other team.
So, you get called sexist and racist, which in the modern era is enough to merit a death sentence, for seeing the writing on the wall... Well, at least you got some kind of apology.
Yea. I take what I can get I guess lol.
You should be called Smith1890, man old school.
Well I’ve been very retro since childhood so that would fit
I feel that with you.
Congrats. It's extremely rare to get a sokath, his eyes uncovered from someone.
I really appreciate the good work you do.
