John Wick of Dogs posted:Farrow has not done a story on him! (so far) no, but he's kind of the main "face" of #MeToo in mainstream journalism. it makes sense that they'd try to tank his career before he gets a chance to write on the Tara Reade thing in any way.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Did he tweet something else? The quoted tweet sounds to me like he doesn't want to make money for Cinestate not that he's quitting Fangoria for making a stand. He's written articles for an outright white nationalist publication in the recent past, which makes this weird as hell to see.

I mean, I agree that it's bad optics, but given what TERFs largely claim to be afraid of it's not super irrelevant. TERF claims about trans women almost seem uniquely devised to try and get sexual assault survivors to kneejerk out of paranoia.

Aces High posted:isn't that sort of like that story (I don't know if it was fabricated or not) that Taylor Swift deliberately broke up with guys so she could write break up songs? it came out during the filming of Cats that Taylor Swift is pretty much owned as property by her dad, who forced Tom Hooper to include the catnip orgy scene because it made her "sexier" Taylor Swift's life is an absolute rabbit-hole of staggeringly awful that nobody wants to go down

Rhyno posted:I've been tooting the BoM rip off born for years and nobody has ever cared. Even Gaiman said they're nothing alike despite how we can all see that Harry is a complete ripoff of Tim Hunter. iirc Gaiman's answer was that he could see the similarities in the premise but that the execution is wildly different. which is fair, Books of Magic isn't really a whole lot like HP past the basic premise of it (and is a lot better than HP as a result).

Zebulon posted:Oh no. i'm not actually going to do that, i have seen the derails Fate causes, i just find it really funny that those books basically just sound like Fate for kids i actually might have to check them out on the strength of that, sounds like my poo poo e: that said, since we're probably going to go there anyways, Kinoko Nasu is also way better at being progressive than Rowling. there's multiple LGBT characters in Fate who are handled totally fine, and an entire massive chunk of the original work is basically just him shaking rape apologists by the shoulders and going FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOU at them. it has aspects that make it problematic, hence why it tends to cause derails, I am already aware, we do not need to kvetch about it for pages and pages in the absolute worst possible thread for that, but it does a lot of poo poo right too, whereas HP is just fractally awful.

KitConstantine posted:You're joking, but their physique is absolutely defined by male gaze. The over-the-top muscular cut body is a male power fantasy not a woman's sexual fantasy. It appears homoerotic because men are the target audience for the power fantasy the spartans embody (literally). ...eh?  you realize women are, generally speaking, hella into ripped dudes too, right e: like you realize Jason Momoa is pretty much considered the hottest dude in hollywood right now, right? looking like that Rob Liefeld drawing of Captain America, but with a beard and long hair, is more or less The In Look for dudes right now

the only point i was trying to make there is that 300 is, at the bare minimum, an example of how male-gaze power fantasy can intersect with female-gaze sexual fantasy weirdly, if not an outright deliberate invocation of that intersection it's ostensibly trying to make the Spartans into a male power fantasy, but it ends up sexually objectifying the living hell out of them in the process, in a way that basically everybody who's remotely into dudes noticed, and even most straight guys noted as the movie being "gay as hell"

Yeah, I should note I wouldn't be defending it even if he looked like a grown adult; it's just that, for me, how he looked then makes it go from "ew, gross, gently caress that person," to making me straight-up see red and want to spill blood.

John K isn't anywhere near the new Ren and Stimpy, and isn't even collecting a check for it. I kind of suspect this is a direct response to those allegations, and a way to try and take the legacy of the show away from him. In that case, I can't get mad. He was honestly a lot less involved with it in the first place than popular memory would make you think; something like two thirds of the show was made without him, and Adult Party Cartoon is only remembered at all as a loving nightmare.

Precambrian posted:I don't know if it's QAnon, but the idea that Netflix's programming decisions are driven by the preferences of a secret horde of pedophiles is pretty loving nuts to just throw out there. Like, sure, maybe Big Mouth is like Lazytown in that it's media that pedophiles latched on to it and shared it around amongst themselves on the Dark Web or whatever, but there's literally no evidence whatsoever that that's a number sufficient to move the dial just compared to fans of John Mulaney. Or literally any other demographic analysis. I mean, the only way this works is if you think that pedophilia is a massively popular paraphilia. Like, look at the original post: this, but also, QAnon nutters specifically think Big Mouth is an example of HOLLYWEIRD PEDOPHILES secretly sending messages to other pedophiles. like, that's a thing i've encountered before.

Pirate Jet posted:Yeah I’m not sure why this assertion that Rowling’s TERFdom has harmed the franchise is fairly widespread. I’m not saying that Rowling isn’t terrible, I just think 97% of Harry Potter fans don’t give a poo poo. i mean, in my anecdotal experience, 97% of HP fans are angry as hell about the situation and are pretty much done giving the franchise any money, and many have moved on to vaguely-similar things like the Percy Jackson books.  like, JK Rowling being a huge poo poo seems to have basically killed Harry Potter's relevance.because it's not just that she's a TERF asshat, but her being a TERF asshat has also made people view stuff in the books in a much less charitable light (ie the only asian being named Cho Chang, the goblins being jewish stereotypes, the absolute clunkiness of the gay metaphor with lycanthropy, etc). people can't really divorce the art from the artist because it turns out the art was bad too and they just never noticed.

well why not posted:The story pivoting to being "support Depp, he's a victim" reeks of misogyny - there's very little chance (in my speculation) he wasn't awful to her as well. Two wrongs do not make a right, and pretending that he's squeaky clean in all of this is very very dubious. you're seeing a lot of non-MRA people pivot to that because the poo poo that came out from Heard was really, really loving awful, far beyond anything we've heard from or about Depp. it's kind of hard to support a monster against a drunk idiot.
