SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

DivisionPost posted:

Hey guys? I know this Rick and Morty bullshit looks like autism, but don’t call it autism. Whether or not autism is the underlying condition here, the implication you’re all making is that these people’s lovely behavior is synonymous with it. It’s galling to read for somebody like who not only is autistic, but regularly hangs with autistic people who would never take out their disappointment—no matter how intense—on fast food workers the way these loving assholes have.

That’s the bottom line, guys: It doesn’t matter that they’re autistic, it matters that they’re loving assholes.

I'm sorry DP (and anyone else); I really should know better and there's no excuse. I'm going to not be lovely about that moving forward. It's long past time when I should have excised that from my vocabulary throwing it around casually like an idiot. I hope we're cool.

I mean, I still throw it around sometimes, too, along with other words I probably shouldn't. So long as you know it's dumb/bad you're already streets ahead of people who would defend using it as an insult imo

Change takes time and patience!

I’m not perfect about this either. In fact, I’m a lot more sensitive about this than I am about the “R” word; it’s an awkward double standard, and I don’t personally use that word anymore (it’s been a while since I have), but when it comes down to it? I’ll let you call me that word a dozen times before I let you pin this Szechwan poo poo—or any other obsessive behavior (like that guy who inserted himself into The Powerpuff Girls)—whole cloth on autism.

As controversial and noxious as self-diagnosis is, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what your point is besides "gently caress Dan Harmon" and why anyone should care.

Mindhunter seems pretty good. Fichers style always works really well on tv. But sometimes I look at all the setups he uses and think poo poo that looks like hardwork for a 40 min tv episode.

Yeah I'm on Ep 2 of Mindhunter (the montage was great), really digging this. Might make a thread later tonight if nobody else does.


And I'm surprised by the opening scene of the first episode, Fincher said when Netflix told him how many millions of people turned off House of Cards after the first scene he was horrified. That was tame in comparison to Mindhunter.

Try and weasel out of having to pay for his employees' health insurance to the point where their union had to threaten a strike to get him to cut that poo poo out. And this was after Rick & Morty S1 was a smash hit.

that wasn't him, it was roiland, and from what I understand from the actual loving animators who post in the Rick and Morty thread it's a little more complicated than that

But also, what the gently caress does that have to do with your original point

The Saturn Awards are often criticized for having a broad and inconsistent definition of genres, as well as for nominating and awarding movies not related to sci-fi, fantasy or horror.

Haha, I'm just looking at some of these winners of the Saturn Award for "Best Action or Adventure Film". It was first awarded in 1994 and the inaugural winner was... Pulp Fiction. That's a great movie but it's not what you'd call an action or adventure movie, is it? Movies it won over included Speed and True Lies.

Subsequent winners include The Green Mile (action! adventure!) and Hidden Figures (you don't get much more action-packed than a biopic about female mathematicians at NASA in the 1960s).

Actually, almost none of the winners in this category were action or adventure movies!
