Lilo was cut from Japanese cartoon, must be reason. Time to extrapolate something about entire culture instead of just executives doing random poo poo based on dumb whims. There is however at least one person on tumblr who really really hates Lilo and gets brought up and conflated in these conversations. But I'm pretty sure it's just one person like the Silent Hill circumcision guy.

He's funny and explains political concepts in plain language. Same reason that historians you've ever heard of are whose with an entertaining voice in their writing and who make it accessible, and not those who breaking new research ground. Specifically thinking of Dan Carlin with Hardcore History and Mike Duncan with History of Rome. Neither of whom are really academics just guys making podcasts of primary and secondary sources we've had for centuries. Or if you want specifically leftist comparisons. He's got the same appeal as the Chapos but less immediately abrasive.

Yvonmukluk posted:I feel that Mike Duncan legitimately counts as an academic at this point, considering he's a published historian with a degree and everything. I think he quoted from his dissertation on one of his Revolutions episodes on the Mexican Revolution, for instance. It's just his medium and delivery is much better suited to laypeople.

I remember him first being a bad poster in this very thread, and when he started making videos it was weird. Though I'm willing to believe someone can be a bad poster and good at other things. After all with posts as bad at mine, I have to.

Nuebot posted:And the part that really gets me is that when it looked like Bernie still had a chance to beat Biden there were democrats all across the internet throwing their own hissy fits over it swearing they'd never vote for him no matter what and no one could make them. So why is this poo poo okay? Why are so many people continually falling in line to bend over backwards to try and make as many people as possible continually "suck it up and vote for the lesser of two evils" when it doesn't really work that well.

josh04 posted:Just as you've mentioned it, I wrote an article yesterday about performative hostility towards the Snyder Cut and Baudrillard's work about the Gulf War. Movielistsman hasn't uploaded in over a year an only had two videos breach 5k views ever. I don't watch Maggie Mae Fish or Michael Saba so no clue on any validity to grouping them in this argument. Then yes moviebob does the exact straw man creation you are describing to everyone he doesn't like. Specifically yeah basically everything you described about anti-snyder people is in his tortuously terrible BvS video. I don't know if he made a Justice League specific vid of similar discourse. So is this a beef with these people in particular or a more generalized group that is meant to be representative? If it's the latter I think you're doing your essay a disservice by including as your five examples one guy who didn't say what you're claiming and another guy who is essentially a twitter rando. Then not really elaborating on how content actually feeds into the ideological framework you present, beyond mean youtube titles. And really it wouldn't be hard to do so, just elaborate on the actual content of videos and include more moviebob tweets. I'm sure he's got plenty saying that like Snyder fans are mass shooters in the making or something similar.

Nuns with Guns posted:IIRC the Algonquin attitude when people ask about Pocahontas being re-adapted into stuff is something like "please... lease us alone, we're so tired..." Which wouldn't be great for Disney's optics when Moana's right over there with pretty close to the same plot and better public perception.

How is it homophobic to make fun of a dumb poster? Like the physical kind made of poster board. I can understand how making fun of specific SA posters would be homophobic. The only thing I can think of is that ultralibs have just fully internalized the idea that they are the only true defenders of gayness, so any attack on them is by extension an attack on game people. edit: Holy poo poo looking down the comments of the originally quoted chain it's people not getting it. The whole way down people aren't getting it. Every post is a complaint about being shamed for eating out. How are they this dense?

I mean the real real root of it is the meme has nothing to do with brunch specifically besides a funny sign. It's rightly pointing out that for a lot of the middle and upper class dems they just completely tune out of politics as soon as it isn't someone as bombastically evil as Trump. They want to go back to not caring about politics, and their anti-Trump stance really has no deeper roots.

Dire Lemming posted:It's also worded straight out of the conservative deniable plausibility handbook. If you don't believe me try the phrases "Muslim terrorists" or "Mexican criminals" instead, they're technically specific but you know what's being said when the usual suspects say it. It's not just bigots who would react negatively, it's literally anyone who feels defensive about the topic which considering it's anime-adjacent is a lot of people. It's certainly not intentional but it is poorly worded which has been pointed out is a theme with left twitter.

Crank yes, but isn't he like a just a fairly normal liberal who happens to live in a repressive country rather than being specifically right wing? Though on the topic of Russian conspiracies does he also believe in the Great Tartary or the the Great Slavic Horde? I can't find specific references to those ones with a quick google.

I'm really glad we're sharing around the podsaveamerica type liberals now. I'm sure the homes for people who have fun a small business in a minority neighborhood for five years after getting at least a masters degree will resolve all societal woes.

The 2006 Casino Royale is actually a really good entry point, which makes the failure of its followups all the more disappointing. Unless Skyfall was actually good, it's the only one I didn't see.

Imma be real with you fun splatter film violence is way better and easier to get right than the serious gritty violence that bad comics tend to dive into. But there has been basically two super hero movies where everyone seems happy to be there for the ultraviolence, those being Deadpool and Blade.
