Terrible Opinions posted:You are in fact reading off things that are at best tvtropes level aesthetics. Like saying that Harry Potter discussion should cite the Hobbit because they both have wizards using a wood rod to do magic and a dumb troll is the mid roll antagonist. And we're talking about again someone who's supposed to know what they're talking about, They don't get this leeway to roll around in their own poo poo and then shrug when called out.

The irony is not lost on me that I would have to explain how as a society we synthesize cultures through the media we see and consume in an online creators thread. Folks would rather shrug atcasual racism and let her use her platform privilege to not apologize for a "mistake". bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jun 29, 2021 |

How is Raya more like Journey to the West than The Last Airbender, when the major points of comparison between TLA and Journey to the West is the similarities in Aang and Sun Wukong that are not features of Raya? And how is Linday making a shallow take comparing Raya to TLA pushing other creators out? And out of where?

the degree of power youre assigning a single online person is embarrassing. get a grip. the world is packed to the brim with stupid people you hate. minimize their influence over your life instead of trying to dragon slay someone whose powers are limited to "mean tweet" and "dumb video". if people believe her theyre dumb too. just find non-dumb people to talk to instead of whatever outcome youre hoping for here. i cant even imagine what you want from a group of grown adults who are openly tired of relitigating some random person's fuckup so you can get dopamine.

bushisms.txt posted:The original complaint against Lindsay was from an Asian writer who was pointing out how she has a hard time getting work because people synthesize everything into being avatar like. The fact that she never actually brought that subject up or maybe you just missed it tells me this is all coming from a dishonest/uninformed view. gently caress off and eat poo poo. Your entire argument is centered around how Raya owes more to Journey to the West than The Last Airbender. Me asking you where this is coming from because I personally don't see it isn't coming from a dishonest or uninformed view. I want to know where the linkage is here that I'm not seeing. With the tweet replies specifically, I'm certain I did read the original replies when they were posted back in March, but that's three months ago at this point, and I can't find them to re-read the details because every google attempt is just flooded with idiotic "Lindsay Ellis CANCELLED!!!" puff pieces. If you're asking me to confirm whether or not the first tweet Lindsay made comparing the two comes off like a dumb microaggression, then yes it does. She can and has re-clarified it, but it's still dumb and I don't agree with her assessment. If you want to know where she brings this poo poo up, it's in that long dang video here at around 1 hour and 11 stupid minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7aWz8q_IM4&t=4273s I guess she doesn't specifically cite that she'd reference Journey to the West, but she says if she were doing a deep dive, she'd acknowledge where TLA pulls from Asian folklore. She also acknowledges how stupid the "squint" phrasing is and talks about privilege and white supremacy, but it's at the start and there's not a handy bookmark for me to find it at. I don't know what else you're looking for? I don't know if she's directly admitted and claimed fault for "pushing SE Asian Authors out out of the publishing industry" since I guess that's where you're going? I don't know if I've ever seen anyone claim fault for systemic cruelty they feed into in small ways like that, beyond broad acknowledgement that it exists and to try to avoid being thoughtless about it.

Also Angry Joe apparently got a preview screening of Black Widow, a movie that's been pushed back by Disney due to the whole COVID thing that you might have heard about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xURS0pPkGds Personally this, like the Ant Man movies and the coming Eternals, are an easy skip for me cause I have absolutely zero interest in the character. I'll just watch a spoiler review and/or check the wiki for the mid/post credits sequence and move on.

every time people start insisting online review weirdos have an enormous sway over the hearts and minds of people i just remember the kurt vonnegut vietnam quotequote:“During the Vietnam War, every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”

media's effect on the reality we live in is so negligible that people are deluding themselves into thinking their entertainment choices are ballot boxes or 1:1 reflections of the person watching it.bushisms.txt posted:Go look on Fox News, They have nothing but celebrities now. I'm sure he was upset "philosophers" weren't being listened to. But that kind of omits populism. do you......know who kurt vonnegut is. do you think he was a philosopher. do you think that's actually what he thought. i do not understand how it is not obvious that the point is that media creators are literally just entertainers and their powers are limited to entertianing. much like on fox news, your example. do you really think that the point of getting celebrities on is to sway peoples minds or just pander to the audience for entertianment.
