If we’re all just killing babies anyway and its hunting season, why don’t we throw them together and make it baby hunting season. Those little fuckers won’t know what hit them.
I feel like the kind of person who would claim there is no freedom of speech anymore would take this challenge and go shout “FIRE” in a movie theatre or “BOMB” in an airport.
Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?
It’s a bigger problem that barely has to do with the specific shows or movies. Marvel Studios has mostly been coasting since Endgame. It also didn’t prioritize female led properties, so they’re all coming out in this coasting period. This means they might be on average not as good. It’s not directly because they’re female led, but it is sort of indirectly because of that.
Yeah, and it was also a dog whistle to conservatives to feel under represented and “oppressed” by the presence of a non white person as a superhero.
The people you’re talking about can easily clarify it by saying “I don’t like it, but I’m happy to see more women and people of color in these roles”. Bish bash bosh, not a racist.
I can only assume from your inability to answer my question that the answer is yes, you really do talk to people like that. What a strange way to go through life. Why join a social media network just to be antisocial lol.
Angry, no. More confused, I just found your comment interesting and asked you to clarify. You refused to, so I’ll never know what you meant, which is fine. There’s really nothing left to discuss then. Best of luck my friend 🖖.
Sure. But you can tell what they are because they say things like “the agenda” and “forced diversity,” or spend time getting mad that a Marvel series had the nerve to be made for young people.
I didn’t go see it because I’m burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.
Lol, free speech isn't dead just because people criticize your opinions. You're not being silenced because people argue with you, and no one is arresting you for your opinions. Climb down off your cross.
We still have freedom of speech, for now. While the brainlets on twitter and other social media censor eachother, we can still say and think whatever we want. Its just that people are pushed by it into one of several dumbass corners that many ideas appear lost. Luckily, platforms like lemmy emerge to hopefully counter some of that effect.
No see i think there is a problem with Lemmy. Its not seeking to be a new space that fills a need and slowly expand. Its already trying to be a clone of something else. Hoarders came in and moved in all their junk and now its to full of crap to see or move around in. And the forced identity effect is still happening cause it was built upon a communist graveyard and we are haunted by ghosts of people saying the only way forward is still back.
yeah but having a less restricted space is ideal for exploring fresh ideas. if you have a platform trying to do specifically that, i think you also end up with extremism. Im not saying lemmy is the perfect platform, but the decentralized nature of it is potentially a way to a more free platform. Mainly because advertisers dont get to fuck it up.
Not liking the new Marvel movie is fine. Making it about race or sex is what makes you a racist for not liking the new Marvel movie. This thread apparently thinks those people don’t exist lol
Eh, while it’s not as common as other political psychosis, I have directly been told, “you just don’t like strong women.” to my face, for saying I didn’t like how they utterly failed to develop Rey as a character in the new Star Wars trilogy and the movies suck over all.
Apparently wanting good, cohesive writing where main characters actually have lessons to learn and growth to do makes me a sexist to them, all because I can point to Luke, a guy, failing a bunch?
I have directly been told lots of nutty things. Just yesterday someone told me that my nickname in a video game was affecting my lag. That doesn’t make any sense.
Why does this bother you unless you actually have an issue with women? The fact that you’re complaining about it indicates that it is meaningful to you.
In my case, this was literally in person to my face from a coworker with little media analysis skill. I never even made unclear statements beyond, “I don’t like Rey”, with further explanation about how her character development is highly lacking. Not the actress or anything like that, even.
Don’t be the equivalently stupid person on the other side of the coin, constantly refusing to admit that those internet weirdos are actual people in the real world somewhere.
nah, danes still pollute a lot. more like indigenous people that are used to live of the land, aborigenes, amazonian tribes, african tribes. you know cultures that are more focused on earth.
