“Parkland Puppets” was coined by conspiracy theorists thinking these kids are paid actors who had nothing to do with the events that transpired.

He is absolutely insulting them.

Calling them the "parkland puppets" and suggesting he is sick of them is insulting as they are brave teenagers trying to affect change in the world after going through horrific tragedy.

This shouldnt have to be said. It also plays into the building narrative the right is pushing that these kids are crisis actors, fakes, being coached, or what have you. Its despicable.

Armond is glancing at cartoonish supervillainy so it works. They could call him...The Reviewer.

He did not say they are crisis actors. He’s specifically written that they are children - and, since children are typically not good at understanding the media, they are perhaps inherently being manipulated.

White is making a reference to the conspiracy theory, but is not indulging in it. It’s along the lines of calling Hillary Clinton a reptilian.

He literally calls one of the children an actor in a tweet several posts up.

Not only is White a terrible film reviewer he casually indulges in right wing conspiracy theories to his paltry number of followers on twitter. People defend this man.

It’s not quite as offensive when he’s being an rear end in a top hat about the avengers. Posting defenses of conspiracy actor bullshit isn’t the same.

If I say that coverage of the 9/11 attacks was racist and link that to the popularity of ‘Bush did 9/11’ theories, that is not ‘supporting the mockery of 9/11 survivors’.

But we’re in an atmosphere where you’re equating White’s rudeness with pedophila. Obviously too soon.

OK so just so I'm following: SMg is as bad as right wing troll Armond White, and I am just as bad as both of them because I think your weird obsessive antagonistic bullshit is going overboard, and I don't want to read about it in the comic book movie thread.

Is that accurate?
