Mostly. Kevin Hart pulling a Jackie Chan if he had a gay kid would hardly surprise me, but he did post it like it was a joke. It wasn't funny even for 2010 era standards though.

The Lil Nas X thing is from some interview they did where he asked why he had to come out and didn't understand why it was a big deal, or why a black man felt scared to talk about it before he was already a bit insulated on top of the world. Just loving unbelievable obliviousness.

personally it seems pretty naive at best to untether the homophobia from the former to the comments of the latter

And then have the modern day comic "fans" get upset because the fights have no storytelling, no selling, and no psychology.

Jackie pretty much publicly disowned his son after a drug-related arrest and iirc he has an illegitimate daughter from an old affair that he either doesn’t support financially or only supported on the hush-hush before it became public. Basically he’s a bad dad.

He’s also become a pro-authoritarian dude when it comes to Hong Kong, but that’s been going on since the early 2000s.

Idk enough about what is actually going on in the sino-political sphere to form a hard opinion on any of that. All I know is America REALLY has a mad-on for China, and has for pretty much my whole life, so any time we get English language reporting on that country it's always "China eats babies and drinks blood and worships demons and does seven genocides a day," which strains credulity imo so I try to stay kinda agnostic. I hope that uhh everything works out and everyone is uhh happy and has a nice time 😃🤙

If I remember right said daughter was disowned by her mother after she came out as gay so it all ties back in a big bigoted wheel.

First time hearing that one? Lee and Kirby weren't known for being subtle, that was one of the examples brought out against people in the early 2000s complaining that they'd "suddenly made the character Jewish".

I mean yeah obviously I don't like that, but the US does so much worse (domestically and abroad), and so constantly, that I don't, like, feel qualified to sit in judgment of them, I guess? Similarly with North Korea, yes, all western press I've heard about them sounds insane, often unbelievably so. It's probably not a fun place to live regardless. But on the other hand, we firebombed and massacred them with such gut churning enthusiasm that the entire country, civilians included, had to live underground for years. It probably has something to do with why they're paranoid and belligerent! So idk man in general I just kinda shut up on it if they get portrayed as weird and bad in my country's media bc the only answer my country has to poo poo like that anyway is "start a foreverwar and kill them all" which is not my preferred outcome 🤷‍♂️
