there wolf posted:Sided with Doug over the former Channel Awesome people who brought up complaints about him, including Allison Pregler who he was working with on and off up to that point. Disappointing but not that surprising. Complaints which included breaking contracts, unjust firings, firing assault victims, covering for sexual harassment and general harassment, and hiding evidence they knew one of their employees was grooming underage fans before committing suicide. Brad Jones' only comments were to say people were just whining and not seeing both sides, or to dismiss it entirely.

Elviscat posted:Doesn't Theater just generally cast based on voice without regard to race though? So just because the actor's white doesn't mean the character's been white washed? Fiyero has been played by black men, but most have been white. They changed a bunch of poo poo about that character and most of the story because the book was weird as gently caress and not family friendly. I still generally like the show, but not making an effort to cast Fiyero as black is a pretty lovely ongoing misstep.

This is a bit more of a recent thing in theatre, where the push for blind casting has mixed with less of a focus on total realism and more on talent on stage. They can also use this as an excuse to not put that much money into a realistic set and do more 'emersive' staging. It's really a bunch of buzzwords and chasing trends of whatever the director and producers last saw that was successful. Sorry, dumb derail. Doesn't matter much anyhow as the only American theatre that will survive Covid are Wicked and a few other Broadway productions. I picked a great dead medium as a career.

This is especially dumb because they added orchestral sweeps to that song for the movie version. God, I loved that movie. That scene especially is probably the best any Spider-Man movie will ever have to offer. It sums up the whole character so well.

The Cuties bullshit has been raging in leftist and liberal circles as well, mostly among people who digest all news through headlines and never actually learn anything about the things they're mad about. I think a lot of it is seeing a chance to be mad at a corporation and running with it. It's surprising that the most nuanced take on it I've seen from an internet 'personality' was from Ben loving Shapiro. Mostly because acknowledging what the movie is actually about gave him an excuse to poo poo on both atheists and Muslims.

They're the ones at fault. I just meant that people being angry with the director because they don't understand what the movie actually is has not been limited to conservatives, unfortunately.

Arsenic Lupin posted:You're absolutely right. The fox demon scene was long and gross. I also forgot that in the first book the hero's One True Love sacrificed herself to save the world. The woman who becomes a dryad at the end of the first book in the weird fast forward is the one who was raped by a demon, you just don't find out what happened to her when she was learning magic until the second book. I only read the first book, and I thought it was kind of gross but at least had a point by not ending happily, and then the epilogue came along and everything shat the bed even harder. Reading summaries of the other books, it seems things just kept getting worse, somehow.

American schools teach that monarchy was an awful, despotic form of government to live under, and isn't it amazing our demigod-like Founding Fathers broke those chains and created the almighty, infallible position of the President. Now memorize every single one of them we've ever had without actually learning anything about how the position is meant to function or how hosed up our legislative and judicial branches of government are.

boar guy posted:pretty much what the author said about it: "The purpose of this story as I saw it was that in his job of hunting and killing these replicants, Deckard becomes progressively dehumanized. At the same time, the replicants are being perceived as becoming more human. Finally, Deckard must question what he is doing, and really what is the essential difference between him and them? And, to take it one step further, who is he if there is no real difference?" Your reading and their's aren't that different, just the point at which Deckard becomes disillusioned with the system. It's still about contemplating what makes who human. Which is actually a fairly cyberpunk idea. The real issue a lot of folks arguing about the game don't seem to get is that genre and rigid adherence to what makes a story "cyberpunk" or "technoir" is all bullshit and more about selling poo poo than actually engaging with narrative. Nothing is going to be clear cut, and I don't think Gibson sat down to write Neuromancer and thought "I'm going to write a cyberpunk story". It's only useful in retrospect and from the critic's side. That said, CD Projekt Red obviously didn't understand much of the broader history of what they were working on, and mostly seemed to go based on aesthetics and the mechanics of an RPG without knowing why they existed in the first place.

Elviscat posted:Punk is inherently anti fascist (although there are a lot of fascist punks that just don't get it) so saying fashpunk would be like saying slowfast, an inherent contradiction. That said, a lot of sci-fi from the 40s-60s that's been back termed as 'atompunk' is pretty loving fash. As someone said, -punk as a literary suffix has become entirely about window dressing and lost all connection to punk as a concept.

Weirdly, being Orientalist as gently caress may be the most cyberpunk part of the game. Part of the problem for people opining for "real" cyberpunk, beyond genres being fake, is that it's rose tinted nostalgia now. It was very of the time when it was written, and included a lot of Cold War fears as well as racist attitudes towards the rise of Japanese electronics and business culture. Saying new cyberpunk works have to use that aesthetic is just nostalgia porn that ignores the racism inherent in its creation.

Most I know, including me, don't give a poo poo, as long as I know who it's from and what they're asking and they're not being an rear end.

Contra and Philosophy Tube use almost the exact same lighting setup and gels in their videos, and maybe even a similar camera setup because the videos do look really similar. They've both always been high on the aesthetics end of breadtube videos, though. I'm kind of glad the hype around all those folks died down before they really made it mainstream. None of them are really that great at actual discourse and they circle the wagons for each other way too easily, like with the Buck Angel thing. That said, hbomb deserves whatever success he gets.
