I've been using Black History Month as an excuse to watch blaxploitation films.

Why does his skin colour matter

Wil Wheaton literally said he got triggered because that's the way his dad used to beat him as a kid (plus he loves the muppets). You may not agree with him, but it would take a complete lack of empathy not to recognize why this would be difficult for him to watch. Wil Wheaton has been pretty open about his abusive childhood, mental health struggles, and so forth. I think he gets a pass on this to feel however he wants.

Holy shit. I had no idea Wheaton was such a gigantic baby-back bitch.

Honestly if it was Grover or Bert and Ernie, I wouldve been a little what the hell, LD? (but not a giant rant like that lmao) but Elmo? Who gives a fuck

maybe Disney should stop being a bunch of hypocrites and not allow their politics and pandering to clash with their casting choices

I get the feeling that "(group identity) fragility" would be bigoted if literally any other group beyond white people were listed there.

If they want to move the story to a fiction setting, that's one thing. It's not like French architecture is an important part of the story.

Still, it would be nice to have the option to set the story in something resembling 18th century France. (But, again, it's a non-issue because this "mandate" isn't even a real mandate.)

That's what the story is about though. You can still have diversity among the human cast members. All I'm saying is that it's not going to feel like 18th century France if less than half of the cast is ethnic French.

Anyway, this is a nothingburger because it's a suggestion and not a full mandate.

And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence, and student loans and trying to figure out how to start their lives and how to pay their bills, and climate change, and are we going to war all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now.

Fuck Elon, generally speaking.

That said... those standards Disney are using DO feel a little... extreme? Off?

I dunno, it feels like the movie-making equivalent of standardized test word problems:

"Guadalupe, Takahashi, DeShawna, and Phil are working on a project together..."

Is that what she's doing?

That's not what I'm saying at all. The example that I used was that 18th century France wouldn't be more than 50% non-French. If you're mandating more than 50% of the cast be individuals of underrepresented groups, you're going to run into an issue where a historic setting is going to lose all semblance of taking place where the story says it takes place.

Not everything translates to, "I hate minorities."

I even used the example of giving Belle a best friend who was Asian and having a captain of the royal guard who was Black. And I acknowledged that the original Beauty and the Beast had already gone through a filter of idealism and magic.

It may be public data but it's also still harassment/stalking. When you're at Taylor Swift levels of fame and notoriety then you have to take things like that seriously. Shit I wouldn't want someone tracking me in any way and I'm a nobody.

Also she kinda has to use a private jet, doesn't she? I mean maybe she doesn't have to but she'd be constantly mobbed if she flew commercial, no?

1. Why
2. Private

In accordance with the underlying statutory framework (49 USC Chapter 441) and as described in the applicable SORN, the information maintained in the aircraft record is available to the public upon request. This is to facilitate aviation safety, security, and commerce, the main purpose for which the record system exists.

I mean I think ANY person not wanting to be tracked is good enough.

Who do you think are the ones watching the tracker?

If your goal is to show how damaging certain people are to the environment, don't turn it into something else. I'm all for a smear but the location stuff is ill-intentioned, and for that reason I really don't care if it's public information. Abuse of this information in this was is just gonna see it become private.

Do you not know the difference between "I got it on twitter" and not whatever the fuck you're talking about. Holy fucking shut dude.

What happens if a crazy person decides to meet her at the airport using the information provided by this kid tho.

The one hes posting on or his main?

Absolutely based, hope she wins

We're gonna be livin in the Stormlight Archives.

Name rings a bell, forget which Guides I've read of his though

Fantastic reporting.

Then why would you, in a topic about which politician(s) you like, bring it up? It's not about which one deserves to be shipped off to a deserted island the least, it's about which ones you like.

Is not torturing a dog the only thing it takes for you to like someone?

McCain and Romney were both pieces of shit lol

nope, bears. Then how you deal with the bears is the main question

Overcoming his sexism isn't even Sokka's main or only character arc. It was a small part of the character. Yet now people are pretending its his defining characteristic that without he would be a hollow show of hos former self. Sorry it feels like people are reaching for anything to complain about and because they have nothing substantial they grabbed what ever tiny change they could find and blew it up to being huge.

Its nonsense.

Just what I needed first thing in the morning to be body shamed. Not everyone can afford to go to the gym or even lives near one and many places in America are literal food deserts good luck finding healthy and affordable food. This is just another example of a person who comes from a place of privilege talking down to us normal folks.
