And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I cant wait to see King Arthur defeating Morgana by sexy dancing in front of her.

This happened recently when Cyberpunk 2077 came out and people attacked a reviewer for criticizing the game for having an unskippable sequence of lights on screen based on a device that’s designed to induce seizures in epileptic people. And the review overall was still generally positive!

Broadening the topic, the fascist stance on all Hollywood studios is that they’re fundamentally good, & simply not doing enough to crush the undesirables.

Literally all media is open to fascist appropriation - either in the basic way that they’ll take the empowerment fantasy of The Matrix and discard the nonwhite and trans characters, or in the way that they’ll hold up a given film as “degenerate art”. In that specific latter sense, the biggest fascist movie of the last decade was easily Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi. Ineffectual space libs getting absolutely trounced by the insidious space soviets before the film even begins? Of course that’s catnip for fascists, who can now free-associate about how literally everything is betraying ‘us’ to the commies.

Would be weird for him to turn around on his stances after criticizing those things in 300 and Man of Steel. Or are you for some reason reading the baby skull mountain dudes in 300 as unambiguous good guys? And maybe ignoring the frankly too-on-the-nose metaphor of the World Engine in MoS belching out smoke in the third world to turn Earth into Klimate Kollapse Krypton?

This Sia story gets more and more bonkers

Sia also rose eyebrows for working with Autism Speaks, which has endorsed the movie. The organisation, which preaches inclusion and acceptance, has been accused by many autistic people of doing the exact opposite.

In 2009, it released an ad titled “I Am Autism” that portrayed autism as an invisible killer that ruined marriages, guaranteed financial ruin, and robbed parents of their children and dreams.

The ad compared autism to cancer, diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined.

Exploration is ill-advised.
A lot of people really don't internalise that autistic people can and do actually function and have opinions of their own. Autism Speaks being involved explains a lot, there's just so many attitudes of, basically, 'you should be grateful I'm acknowledging you at all'.

But yes, I am very excited to Consume this new Content that Disney™ has provided. Absolutely stoked to watch the tragic backstory of the most cartoonishly evil character ever created. Yes I can't wait to empathize with a woman who literally wants to murder puppers and doggos.

If the Charlie and the.. series takes place in the same universe as Event Horizon then that means it is a prequel to Warhammer 40k.

Still loving hilarious they hired John Hughes to write it. One Disney exec, when he heard that decision, said something along the lines of “you’re making a talking dog movie, you don’t need John Hughes.”

Why is a woman who wants to kill dogs more evil than every other villain who wants to kill humans?

Why is killing dogs to make a coat wrong and killing a cow for that same purpose isn’t?
