And then later, in 2015, Amy Hennig said this

"I get upset when the narrative around women and gaming is that it’s a hostile place because I’ve never experienced that in 26 years. If anything it was an absolute bastion for me, a pioneer medium where I felt welcome. I think the Internet is hostile, I think gamer culture can be hostile but people should not conflate that with our industry,”

And was harassed and attacked by a bunch of women and bearded white guys for speaking out of turn and not checking her privilege.

didn't you post a lot in the gamergate thread

The gamergate narrative was spun out of a sexual and psychological abuser using DARVO tactics to turn the narrative against her victim and despite all the internet shitposting that's gone on since I can't get past that fact.

I'm glad the Chapo thread is also a place for people to glorify people who violently physically and also psychologically abuse their partners in the name of justice.

One thing I've found disappointing is that people who do a podcast I really like, when they start doing movie reviews, just repeat dumb man-on-the-street stuff.

Like I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that the Dry Boys don't really "get" BvS. :can:

This is relevant to their work, because they often talk about how the average person can't read culture because class consciousness in the USA has been systematically ground down and atomized into nothingness, leading to liberals looking in the wrong places, freaking out about phenomena like "cultural appropriation" and only seeing critique of the establishment in terms of notional consumer choices.

Simply put, most people get no education in how to read film or television. If you're like me, you got a segment in your 10th grade English class in how to read things like character archetypes and conflict in a story, and how to read the plot of a short story. But Star Wars and The Avengers have a greater effect on popular ideology than like, "The Scarlet Ibis" or whatever.

I've started listening to Chapo, it's pretty good.

What episodes should I listen to? I basically started choosing the ones with guests I follow on twitter (Rob Delaney, Shrillest, Bill Corbett, got the Leon one queued up) and also whatever has Alex Jones/Gorka impressions cause they're great.

Well if you like the show well enough to become a Patreon supporter, and you like journalists on Twitter and conspiracy theories, you'll love the premium episode where they just shoot the poo poo with Jacob Bacharach about Pizzagate and Bohemian Grove.

Likewise, people who try to make BvS into more than what it is, a Randoid's incredibly dipshit take on classic DC superheroes, are projecting the fantasy of a hidden "good" movie inside of one of the biggest disaster turds of 2016.
