Mkay. I've seen stuff on reddit that says you owe me $1000.
There's hundreds of millions of users on reddit, and bots, that say all sorts of shit.
People love to see a headline that OP makes up and say "Oh I can imagine someone saying that," and then later they see another and they go "Oh I can imagine someone saying that too, because I imagine someone saying something similar before"
Had a nice walk this morning, thanks!
Don't worry, I searched, and found one user who brought up porn, but also didn't say it was "our fault."
I've got a half baked theory that on top of everything you said - where these people come from cultures that place zero value on women and rape is normalised, I think the role of (western produced) pornography has an unexplored relationship with the mindset of foreign rapists. A good solid chunk of pornography features white western women and good chunks of the male population across the globe mindlessly consume it for years of end. When you then add this to the toxic mix of a foreign rape culture incompatible with British sensibilities, you can see how it spurs on their attacks, in their mind women are "asking for it" or "it's the way they are" and other gross assertions.
There's no blame being placed on the makers of porn or western culture, only an observation of how something may be enforced.
Can't say I saw that happen, but I'm not just gonna take your word for it.
I think a lot of people thinking that "reddit is this or that" is largely coming from people who don't actually read the comments.
Case in point, you
Not really a net gain. If someone annoying replies to my comments I can just...ignore them. 99.9% of users on reddit are going to forget about me if I stop replying.
I don't have anyone who follows me around on reddit lol. Seems kind of a unique problem that you feel like you need to block hundreds from doing this.
Lol you have no idea who I am. You just want to think you do.
I haven't bought movies at the store in years. I watch media to watch media.
I'm sorry that I do not care if someone tells a bad story. It seems really petty to cry about it. I can easily not listen to it and go listen to something else instead and move on with my day.
They haven’t supplanted anything. My niece is currrently reading the Jackson books and has never heard of the films, because they aren’t as good as the books.
You hold too much weight in things that you don’t enjoy, when youcan, just like everyone else can and does, decide not to consume that media and enjoy what you currently have.
I mean, maybe, but how does this compare to the a hypothetical remake?
It feels more like the original works are the wedding cake, and bad remakes are a steaming pile of shit a week later. After all, any new movie is being made years later, so there’s no reason you have to put them next to each other.
The wedding cake existed, and was delicious. You even took some home and put it in the freezer and you can enjoy it later. A week later you see a steaming pile of shit. Now, realistically, what do you do?
A - Complain about the presence of the shit, and declare that the delicious wedding cake you had a week ago is now ruined because someone took a big steaming pile of shit on a plate and offered it to you to eat today
B - Say “gross,” and turn to go eat something else.
Me, personally, I’d choose B. A lot less stress in the soul over something unnecessary
Frankly, though, if anything, the wedding cake looks a lot more appetizing now.
But its bot even made yet. Your entertainment, seemingly, is the current books and movies. Those aren’t ruined by other people making different versions. It’s easy to just ignore them and keep liking the ones that are available
It doesn’t lol. The original still exists. I am watching the original trilogies at the end of the month with a bunch of old friends. Doing an all day marathon, making food. That day I won’t even think about any potential remake or how good or bad it might be. I’ll just comfortably enjoy the movies we have.
Nope. This is how reddit has been for years.
