That's market manipulation?

It actually is. They’d call it a “pump and dump scam” and it’s apparently illegal

I read a couple of his books but I hate him. The movies are all obviously amazing but a lot of his stories are way too weird to the point they don’t even really make sense. It could just be cope because I can’t follow his highbrow sci-fi themes or something, but they just feel dated in a way that a lot of other good books in the genre don’t.

and actually do something

They’re not actually doing anything though. All the cringey marching is just the white conservative equivalent of looting a Nike store.

In the trailer it looked like Chris Pratt is splitting his role as the male lead with some lady too

The reality is that it’s impossible to push back on these things in a professional setting. No matter how calm or measured the response, if you’re an executive or management type involved in this stuff you immediately expose yourself to a discrimination lawsuit once it goes on your record. You’ll never be able to deliver anything but positive feedback to a gay employee (and that’s your job as a manager) lest they accuse you of something and everyone believes it because you’re that guy “with the history” because you canceled pride whatever.

I mean in reality you’d probably be fine, but the risk isn’t zero. Alternatively, even if you tank the company you’re just a hero that stood up to the Nazis or whatever.

It’s like an ex trying to get back at you with a hoe phase but she overplays it to the extent that it’s just confirmation that you dodged a bullet

How do we fix this? She means this and thinks she’s saying something intelligent here. Like they’re probably teaching this in a PHD program somewhere. Are we doomed? This is the kind of person that needs someone in “authority” to spoon feed them an alternative viewpoint, but It seems like they’ll never have someone in a position like that tell them this is wrong because they’d be immediately sued or fired for discrimination. Does this just keep spiraling?

I feel like the tone of their post implies that you’d “get” what’s going on in the show if you’d followed the books but you’re not wrong either

If any of you aren’t certain I can confirm that the tv show has zero to do with the story in the books.

And above all, I'm pretty certain Chief in particular was something special to her

I’m pretty sure it’s canon in the books that she sees them all as her children and chief as her like coolest kid. I think at one point she hides them all in some inter dimensional bubble to keep them safe?

It’s like a satanic cabal had some money to spend and they wanted the most bang for their buck on demoralizing a generation of dudes

Oh, dude, it’s a little ambiguous, but he actually pretty much calls himself out as a hypocrite for doing this to her in one of the tracks…. Said track is about his gay cousin and transgender uncle though… and it admittedly could be interpreted as like a call for black people to “do better”.

Nah it’s way deeper than that. I think they got the dude on something gun related but even without that specific cudgel they probably would’ve tried to entrap folks for brewing moonshine or some shit.

Edit: holy fucking shit…. to clarify for anyone that hasn’t read into this because the Wikipedia pages barely mention it, the dudes gun charge was related to an undercover fed that he refused to be an informant for. Like all real nazism the dude was into aside, this is a legitimate controversy and it’s sad that the media is unwilling to take on that nuance anymore.

The reality is that with Tinder and the like she’s probably getting hundreds of matches every weekend.

I keep seeing this weird equivalency and I don’t understand why. Clearly outlawing vasectomies would be the most accurate metaphor. They’re not being forced to do anything, why is their go-to comparison forcibly sterilizing men?

It’s time to come to terms with the fact that Msm is produced specifically for suburban women and their male partners. They used to throw dudes a bone every now and again but that’s now an act of speech violence or some shit
