You know, there are times for sure where peer pressure is bad of course. However, we have overvillainized peer pressure and applying shame. It actually has a value and a use in the right context and situation that is not only helpful to society but to the person being shamed/pressured. Obviously this VERY MUCH depends on the EXACT situation; what I just said does.
I am not a huge fan.... it is kinda weird and does some annoying stuff... but yeah it isn't the worst movie in the world [COUGH ALIEN RESURRECTION COUGH] but some of the stuff they did was just terrible especially for the way the series was. Just to throw away Newt and Hicks like yesterday's garbage was the worst.
Now Alien 4.... or whatever it was called.... I remember ONE thing I liked about that movie [the alien killing the other alien to spill the acid to get out I thought was kinda a neat idea... although I guess they could have just cut themselves a bit but I guess same thing] but everything else in that movie. I mean the whole movie is like sigourney weaver is looking so sad she has to even say the lines they are making her say "Who do I have to F*** on this ship..." [or something like that]. So much about tha tmovie ...
I would love to be one of those people in those meetings where they get test audiences to watch something and when they ask you questions just go all "Uh you guys didn't even make Jimmy Olson look like Jimmy Olson, did you guys even look at the comics before making this?"
You will then be beaten to an inch of your life and thrown out in the street as a hateful test audience member.
See that is just it... that is the problem with all these "activists." They never actually .... perform any real action [literally the word origin and meaning of activist]. They just whine and complain about things, and never take the initiative to actually change things.
OH I get it... there are some things you can't realistically do. But normally it is never them putting their money where their mouth is.
I don't remember the exact details, so maybe I am not quite right...
I seem to recall there was some study that showed like a shockingly high % of all internet traffic is just ads and if you were to remove all the ads the internet would be like a billion times less clogged up and faster haha. Of course it made more impact when I saw the actual numbers.....
Honestly I say given the acts he did attempted to basically put a man in jail for x amount of time.... he should get that same amount of time as the max Chauvin would have gotten. I see it like the old style accuse a guy of a crime, it gets proven you totally did it wrongfully for some random reason, and you get the same punishment.
Thing is a strong female lead back in the day was.... still for all intents and purposes a female and it made sense. Doesn't mean they were not sometimes doing some rough and tough stuff, but they still seemed like women doing those roles.
Now adays in most cases a "strong female lead" just means a woman pretending to be a dude and they are basically interchangable.
That is what always got me about feminism.... if you really break it down most feminism is actually a celebration of manlyness weirdly and just forcing women to adopt male traits.
Haha you know I need to think of a .... less offensive way to say that ... but actually very true. Women are practically born to go with the pack no matter what it is. Not all of course, but generally.
