He sent lots of very creepy/pesty texts to people, did other stuff, and iirc admitted to it and laid low for a bit. Back when this came out he was fired from Polygon cuz it was essentially proven so he left few hugely popular video series he was on with Griffin McElroy and others. https://kotaku.com/polygon-parts-ways-with-nick-robinson-following-twitter-1797735272 here's a writeup about it.

Re: Korra, I agree with most of the criticisms about the shows politics, but when I watched the show I was very surprised the resolutions to its conflicts wasn't just the status quo unchanged is perfectly fine. I haven't watched the show in years but I'm pretty certain I remember after defeating the "equality is good actually" guys the city in series one abolished its political caste system for one man one vote democracy, and I was genuinely stunned when the last series ends with the foppish princeling having learned to take responsibility and help others didn't become the greatest King who reigned over a golden age like I was inspecting, and instead realised monarchy was a terrible system and he had no interest in ruling and stated he would support abolishing the monarchy. This doesn't really reflect on any of the other political themes and flaws, but I can't really think of a mainstream storyline set in feudal/absolutist times that even went that far. Usually its just the King is bad so replace him or the Queen is cursed so lets find the witch/dragon responsible and rip it apart.

I watched all of Korra when it aired and honestly can't remember too much from it aside from that one flashback sequence with the nice animation, Kuvira's character feeling like they could have done more with her and the finale making my eyes roll out of my skull. It was a neat idea to tackle different ideologies as bad guys, but it being a kids show they obviously couldn't dive too deep into it to be really informative. I'm actually kind of curious what the primary demographic of the show, kids, thought of it. volts5000 posted:I watched it as it premiered. loving gave me chills. Just him describing how they did each effect along with the set design was amazing! That smile is really creepy. Can't properly explain why, but it looks extremely cold and forced.

In Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar wanted to make a show about feelings and family drama, and also a sweeping space opera. And from what I gather from hearing about the "she's a fascist" take, someone looked at a story of dysfunctional family viewed through a fantastical lens, and took it at face value that Rebecca Sugar thinks that if we encounter a totalitarian empire, we should just hug it out and forgive them for trying to render the Earth uninhabitable to humans. This may be a caveman take, but my main problem with Korra was one I had with many cartoons of the 2010s: the interminable plot arcs in which a main character becomes a mopey lame-o over an unrequited crush. Relationship drama can be compelling, but the way all those shows went about it wasn't.

This is very funny to me because 1) a lot of people were VERY sure of which way he was leaning and 2) why did anyone need him to say it to begin with. Like whew I guess you can rest a little easier now knowing that you share the right politics with someone. Glad it made your approval. https://twitter.com/robthemind/status/1395382985776680960?s=19

For anyone wondering, it's about that Michaelsoft Binbows "ROR engrish lacism" bullshit meme* where he spends 30 minutes explaining something that anyone with even a passing understanding of Japanese could interpret in about 3 seconds. *not suggesting Creeper McGroomington is a racist, just that the meme has some undertones of that sort of poo poo about it.

It's even better because that question was asked by Sarah Polley, whose story of Snyder having a photoshopped picture of Saddam Hussein was something a lot of people point to as proof Snyder is a wacko.

fatherboxx posted:What the hell is wrong with people Politics poisons peoples brains to the point where they just can't sit down and enjoy poo poo anymore. That said, the show does have a really weird and unfortunate undercurrent to its final slate of episodes, TV movie, and then epilogue season of working its rear end off to try and redeem four characters initially presented to the audience with ample corroborating evidence as being violent fascist oppressors at the apex of their individuality-crushing expansionist empire, with unsubtle emphasis on idea that the one member of this quartet who was the victim of constant abuse by the other three might have actually been the real villain of the story the whole time if you think about it  Folks being unable to separate art form artist have convinced themselves that Rebecca Sugar somehow completely endorses all the messy ideas and ideologies the show attempts portray and engage in dialog. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 10:06 on May 21, 2021 |

Also good on Zack Snyder for letting everyone know how liberal he thinks he is. I hope that one dude who got really visibly bummed out when Snyder said to his face on that live stream that he doesn't like racists is feeling extra sad right now.

Though like you said, a lot of that is couched in the whole cycle of abuse part.

I think SUF is less trying to say that everything is Pink Diamond's fault, and more that individually atoning for every lovely thing another person did over their entire lifetime is a burden that will ruin your life. It's not that Rose did every bad thing, it's just that Steven will never run out of bad things Rose (or anyone else) did to "fix". watho posted:man snyder can’t even make a good reaction image smdh https://i.imgur.com/F1LzJyK.mp4

CelticPredator posted:Making movies is a fun process and having fun while pretending to do violent things is a part of it. I just meant from an actor-director standpoint. As the moment is ostensibly about Snyder instructing Cavill on how he wants him to act in that particular moment, with the facial emotion being a big part of it, and that look from Synder is certainly a mood, to say the least. josh04 posted:In a completely neutral sense, SUF took away any desire I have to see more Steven Universe. Same. It really was kind of weird bellyflop when it should have been a victory lap.
