to be fair, Diogenes spent his time when he wasn't masturbating in public or sleeping in a barrel by yelling about how everybody but him was giant hypocrite.

Also, if we're going to be nerds about it, she's doing that thing where she's seeking out the worst of the worst and blaming that on everyone.

I checked Contrapoints' timeline and her most recent post is equating anyone who criticized Lindsay with some alt-right jackass who's cheering and saying that they should get Jenny next.

Which, to keep it relevant, apparently people are still trying to take Jenny out with photoshopped tweets. At least they had an (awful) sense of humor with the one they picked this time.

Eh, the original person had a legit beef with YA publishing trends. She was just taking it out on Lindsay because it struck a nerve. Plus the difference there is probably age. As other goons said last page, a lot of Disney defenders are just young or feel like it's the one thing they can affected (they're possibly right). Alt-righters looking to claim heads for the wall are a different breed.

Also not sure if I'd say alt-righters weren't part of a successful political movement. They're doing pretty well at the moment, sadly.

Or just post the dril tweet. I don't have it handy.

It’s loving hilarious given the last 20 pages of Lindsay and Contrapoints discussion that Jenny gets the same amount of vitriol directed at her for posting about Star Wars. I can’t loving imagine trying to frame someone on twitter for posting about Star Wars. But then I remember the person who pretended to be Allison on twitter and the person who pretended to be Phelan in this thread and I realize there’s no bottom to this weird, creepy poo poo.

It's not even just YA trends, like the core complaint being stated is fairly common; that a lot of media created by non-western people gets compared as derivative of media made by western creators who used those same cultures as inspiration in the first place. Like avatar was huge and inspirational to a lot of up and coming creators, certainly, but it's going to rub people the wrong way when they identify with a piece of media as being more in touch with their culture and it gets dismissed as a knockoff of avatar. It has less to do with Disney its self and more to do with weird poo poo a lot of people, especially in media analysis and criticism fields, do fairly frequently.

Like if someone from England came out with a brand new story based on Arthurian legend and everyone online was just like "lmao you're just copying FATE/Zero" based largely on superficial elements like a character having Excalibur, it'd be pretty weird, right? Because that's what people have basically been doing ever since Avatar got popular. "Wow, your story has X? What's with all these Avatar knockoffs lately???"

the earthbender floating rock scene is one of my favorite awkward movie moments ever

you've got these dudes synchronized bending all dramatically and then this tiny-rear end rock slowly floats across the screen completely deflating all dramatic tension in the shot



What remains really funny about that scene is the terrible myriad of dumb ways M. Night got it wrong. In the cartoon, the Earthbenders are on like an oil rig out to sea. Aang has to point out they're 'STANDING ON EARTH.' Like 'whoa whoops you're right.' It was also a big character moment for Katara in the show and no Aang and... man, I'm glad I've only ever experienced that show with the power of RiffTrax.

thats the thing alot of the chuds trying to false flag poo poo tend to show their hands/asses really hard because they don't know how to actually sound woke/progressive but if the blood is already in the water it doesnt matter anyway. jenny also isnt terminally online and doesnt really get in fights so she is actually hard to fake poo poo well. also no one cares about fake star wars tweets outside weird reactionaries who don't like her already.

pretty much. they can't get out of their hosed up world view long enough to construct something that sounds plausible. like there are easier ways for them to "own" people and such but they would have to get out of their weird bubble to do it and also learn way more about stuff they hate. its why its easier to pretend to be a weird alt right rear end in a top hat than a progressive (in someways)

It's kind of like how Sarah Z made that video not long ago about how famous tumblr copy paste screen shots were entirely fabricated as well, but were used for years to poo poo on that entire community by people who were one hundred percent convinced that the thing they invented was a real representation of the thing they hated. Also they're the same drat group of people. Every time.

Rhino, you did this to me!

I think a big part of why Jenny's drama rarely shows up is even when she does say something stupid she doesn't double down and instead just moves on.

Like when she tweets something like this
https://twitter.com/JennyENicholson/status/1374404789274959873
when the reality is that the reason Knuckles was trending was because a white woman edited a japanese artist's fanart to make Knuckles black and then said she'd "fixed" it which is a lovely thing to do.

After this she never mentions it again, doesn't respond and will just block anybody correcting her.
