Absolutely. I remember the controversy from both idiotic sides surrounding the Wonder Woman movie ("finally a superhero movie with a powerful woman as lead" and "that movie treated men as crap"). The movie totally sucked, I don't care about the rest.
Now it's Black Panther, but for racism ("finally a great superhero movie with a lead character that isn't white").
Blargh! People!
Well, men in general, are treated worse, though I cannot speak for that movie, haven't seen it. But I doubt it is the case there. With Black Panther, people are touting it as some second coming of Jesus for black people, because it's black people in a black country, who do black things (I don't even know what this is supposed to mean) minding their own black business... So... alt-right the movie... but black? Alt-right are racist, but this is, oh so progressive. The double-think is ridiculous. Also... there already was a black superhero before, and was much better... he's called Blade!
I remembered Blade as I was writing my previous comment, but for some reason no one seems to mention that, because that would make their point somewhat invalid, right? Or these people are just too young to even remember that.
But let's not mention Blade: Trinity. Ever.
Yeah, that video says it all. It's all a business to her, a lame call to fame and fortune. I prefer to ignore the news, they're bad for anyone's sanity.
That reminds me of the Weinstein scandal. Sure, there were some victims, sadly, but now everyone was abused, boo hoo? Why didn't they press charges when they weren't, you know, filthy rich and famous actresses thanks to taking advantage of the "opportunity"? Just turn and walk away, there are more jobs in the world?
We're coming to a point when even flirting, romancing a woman can be considered a crime, thanks to these statements. Everyone's abused nowadays.
Sure, but media is still influencing people, and they have no idea what they're talking about. And I'm here to counter that. And the #metoo shit is utter garbage. At best 0.05% of them were abused. The rest are just whores that sucked cock for fame and money. That's prostitution, not abuse. Nothing wrong with it, just own it!
PS: NBC has an actual policy on how to hug coworkers. In Canada you can face prison for refusing to use someone's pronouns, and I'm not talking about just he/she, but the lunacy of xe/ze/otherkin and whatever the fuck. So your last statement is underselling it. Hence, #FeminismIsCancer #BetterDeadThanRed
"The rest are just whores that sucked cock for fame and money. That's prostitution, not abuse."
That's the way to put it. But hey, poor famous, dirty rich actresses who couldn't sleep at night for decades in their palaces and drive their luxury cars around, thinking about the "abuse". Blargh, press charges when it happens or just shut up already.
Those policies are sick. I thought Canada was a great country with nice people, not that it would have such strict/stupid laws.
Nothing wrong with rich people. And I don't think it's fine to abuse them either. But they weren't forced into sucking dick. They did it to advance their career. Nothing wrong with that, they offered the service, and they got payment for it. But they chose to do so, so they can fuck right off when claiming "abuse".
I'm sure the people of Canada are generally nice people. But #notall works both ways. Not all are nice people, some are malevolent, and some (probably most that subscribe to this) are just duped by the nice wording of their censorship / compelled speech.
