Facebook Aunt posted:I didn't read the article, but I imagine it's a bit of being able to see both sides. Old "feminists" she knows from way back are scared of change and she can feel empathy for them. She can also feel empathy for the trans community. Gets infected with "the truth is somewhere in the middle" which satisfies no one. Nah, the article loving sucks. I imagine that's where Atwood puts herself in her own mind. But really, it seems she likes to say she's for trans rights because she's invested in her identity as a progressive, but as soon as it inconveniences her or makes her feel uncomfortable, she's reposting TERF poo poo.

Nothing but respect.

You should have to sign a contract and if you do spoilers then a man shows up and chops off your penis. If you do not have a penis then a different man shows up first and sews a penis on you.

I tip in movie spoilers. My 'favorite' form of the people who get mad about spoilers are the ones that do it in a way that actually ends up spoiling it, while the thing they're acting up about sounds completely innocuous without context. Just yesterday I saw someone get real mad that a headline about the end of the just-finished Hulk miniseries was (spoiling because I guess it's a spoiler, I dunno) 'Hulk Yells at God'. And frankly that just sounds like Bruce Banner's regular Tuesday.

People who care about spoilers are weenies and shouldn't be appeased. Especially in the age of streaming where people are watching shows asynchronously. It just leads to a death of meatspace conversations in favor of online discourse which is just the loving worst. There are some media where *the twist* is the point. I get not spoiling that but also, I've been meaning to rewatch the Sixth Sense since it was released. I'd be fine if my experience going in was knowing the twist because I would have had that. You know? People who care about spoilers are antisocial weirdos and should be shamed.

there are movies that are best seen 'fresh', as cliche as it is I'd consider something like, say, Usual Suspects best seen as fresh as you can first because then your next time you watch it you already know the story and scenes and all so you can focus on looking at little clues that may be part of the reveal and all. I'm sorry but action movies and all are not those movies. It's not even some smug 'heh your silly superhero movies are dumb' thing it's just that any 'twists' that are in them are designed to be shocking and out of nowhere rather than a genuine mystery/thriller payoff, because that's the entirely different tone they use. It's a different storytelling language. Finding out Han Solo dies may lessen the shock when it happens but the entire point is you literally can't anticipate it happening until the scene begins and it becomes INCREDIBLY CLEAR what's happening. It's not a mystery you can solve early, it's a dramatic climax to a scene that might as well begin with 'Han's about to get hosed up real bad here' flashing on the screen in neon and the 'thrill' comes from the catharsis of the built up tension and energy being released. Like, as soon as Kylo starts saying 'I know what I have to do' if you've seen every other scene where he acts like that you know 'oh, yea, he's gonna gently caress up his dad real bad here, because he's a weird darth vader wannabe obsessed with the dark side and Han's the only guy here who genuinely cares about stopping that obsession and not just killing him for being a space-nazi', the thrill of that moment is when the dam bursts. You can get mad at spoilers as, like, a manners thing I guess. I agree it's rude to actively spoil a movie for someone just because that's a kinda lame in the same way it's lame to ruin the punchline of a comedy movie just as the setup starts or something. It's just kinda being a lovely movie watching friend or something. Treating it as some grave violation is just silly.

While watching a movie completely fresh, no spoilers, is fun, if knowing a plot twist ruins it, it wasn't good to begin with.

I usually abide by a 24-48h rule for tv shows, a bit longer for books and movies as release dates aren’t universal. Sometimes it’s fun to be surprised? Or if a show airs on Sunday late night, streaming will have it on Monday at 00:00 and like, I can’t watch it until Monday afternoon/evening, cause of work. What does suck are spoilers right the gently caress in marketing material or in reviews right up front. The former happens way more when I read anything non-English.
