Fox News has articles that could answer that question. And if your first reaction to me saying that is rolling your eyes, it shouldn't be. The question is basically, what is the right complaining about, the answer is to listen to what they're saying. And for some reason I once again feel the need to point out I'm a liberal, because this isn't a real life interaction where people can roll with nuances of an organic conversation, it's the internet, where everything is chiseled into stone.
I'm asking YOU because YOU said it. I shouldn't have to listen to Fox News to get your viewpoint, should I?

I already know what the right is complaining about and it's nonsense that's not even related to CRT. But again, I wasn't interested in what the Right is complaining about because I already know. I want to know what you, a self-proclaimed liberal, thinks is so crazy about CRT.

If that's the case, what are the options for fixing it? If you don't fix it, blacks will always be at the bottom. Whites won't give it up, and it's built into society. What are the options?
That's what the discussion is about. Some ideas have already been put forward by more knowledgeable people than me. But just because the answers aren't immediate that doesn't mean the questions are "insane," which is what we were actually discussing initially. We still need to examine it to figure things out, not dismiss them out of hand.

5th tenet, racism is permanent, racism being the everyday operation of our American society. He does say it's controversial. Whites could give it up, but they won't.
I wouldn't call any of those ideas "insane." The 5th tenet may be debatable but that doesn't mean it's totally without merit from what I've read on it.

Racism being permanent and a part of everyday operation doesn't seem very crazy to me either. Unless you don't believe that racism is systemic in this country?

If it was only that, I think everyone would be agree with CRT, because your statement is pretty obviously true. People have used CRT in the name of a lot of insane stuff, though, which is what leads to the criticism you see of it coming from the right. As a liberal myself, im kinda annoyed by the flippant and dismissive responses of liberals when presented with CRT criticism from right leaning types.
What specific "insane stuff" has CRT been used for, exactly?

Or movie 4 where dom in an hour makes more progress than the us government in a month to find the drug supplier. Or 5 where they hijack a police station. I can't remember what happens in 6...is that the one where they jump a car from the skyscrapers or is that 7? Also can't remember if it was 4 or 5 where they jump off a corvette that went over a bridge. Theres another in I think 4 where dom drag races a gas tanker rolling down a mountain road where he perfectly times it.

It's a constant illogical progression that's best not to think of. Just accept they're super heroes and enjoy the ride.
You're looking at singular incidents and I'm speaking on the film as a whole. All of them have had crazy stints since the first but 6 is when the entire thing just went completely over the top with every other scene. Plus, they literally beccame specialized operatives in that one, even getting a government liaison.

It literally does. Intimate apparel isn't like conventional fashion. When a woman buys a dress, it's to look good in front of a crowd. When a woman buys intimate apparel, she generally has a much smaller audience in mind. So even when the customer isn't the guy (which it often is) or the couple shopping together (which is also common at that those locations), the consideration is ultimately how things appeal to men.
That's not it. Women like feeling sexy and can do so without a man anywhere in their vicinity. VS is marketed towards women, not men. The point is to make the woman seeing it feel that she'll look like the models wearing it.

OG Lola has small boobs and (at the very least) semi-defined legs. New Lola has no boobs and Bugs Bunny legs. Again, your logic doesn't seem grounded in reality.
That's because you keep ignoring that women in real life wearing what she is will look the same way she does. You clearly don't want to get this so it's kinda pointless for me to keep going.

Again, needs to be said.

The main difference is the fact that in the first movie she wears a crop top, which is going to flow more naturally around breasts.

In comparison, wearing a basketball jersey like she is in the second movie, especially one that is loose, will not accentuate anything.

Unless there is an example of her wearing something similar in the second, that is the main difference in design.
Exactly. He's assuming she doesn't have breasts because they aren't popping out but that's not how jersey's work (not to mention she'd also be wearing a sports bra.)

How? Her arms are flabbier, and besides the breast reduction, she's just wearing a jersey that covers more. What logic are you using to say she looks more athletic, besides "not all sporty women have visible boobs" (which is irrelevant because many athletic women do have visible boobs)?
She doesn't at all look "flabby" lol

And I already said I was comparing her to women I've seen/know in real life. "Reality" is the logic I'm using.

In terms of facial expression, maybe, but she literally has smaller arms now. You know you build muscle by playing sports.

Again, I don't really care about the sequel. But she has had a slight reduction of the arms as well as the chest.
Most young women in sports aren't that toned and look more like new Lola than the previous version. And since this film is meant to appeal to kids, having the character look more like a young athlete than an grown woman makes a bit more sense to me.

We can both plainly see that she is now as flat as Bugs Bunny himself. There's not even the slightest bit of protrusion in the chest area. Here are Kim Possible characters in cheerleading outfits:



by your logic, they would suddenly look more athletic if they didn't have boobs. Your line of reasoning is confusing.
No. My logic is that she looks like real life athletes, period. Every woman isn't built the same so her being "flatter" than those Kim Possible girls is wholly irrelevant to my point. She may have a smaller bust than those girls or it could be that cheerleader outfits are designed to be appealing in a way that basketball jersey's aren't, who knows? That doesn't mean she doesn't look like an athlete.

The answer is kinda obvious. She now looks like a lot of athletic women, where you don't see there breasts a pronounced (mostly due to the type of clothes they wear and, also, due to their body types.)

You can still tell she's female so accentuating her boobs doesn't matter.

Tony Stark is a c-lister for 40 years, and isnt known for wisecracks. The 616 version of him is now RDJ, its NOT the same character. I dont know why this is so hard to understand, the movies are loosely based on the Ultimate versions of the characters, which is fine, there is no reason to make those characters the new canon for 616.

The MCU has turned characters into wisecracking, cookie cutter versions of themselves, and without their various power sets, many of them could essentially be the same character.
Tony and Nick Fury, Jr are the only real examples of movie synergy in the comics. Meanwhile, Steve, Thor, T'Challa, Shuri, Gamora, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spidey, etc are all the same characters in comics that they've always been. So you're being hyperbolic and overreacting.

Right. There's been some synergy wit the MCU but it's less than 1% of the overall Marvel comics universe. The vast majority of comics are the same as always. Which makes me doubt this person has actually been a fan of them at all.

I do not ignore that the men were stupid enough to help them in anything. You are there to win, if your enemy comes to you for help you tell them no and let them lose so you win. Helping the enemy only proves how stupid the men were instead of having their eye on the prize which is to WIN.

First, Tony didn't undo the Snap, Hulk did.
