Oh I knew that. He and ShoeOnHead or whatever her name is are all sorts of hosed up together. I was just saying in that one brief instance, he took what could have been a direct swipe at him with good humor, unlike how 99% of all other MRAs tend to do and issue a loving fatwah over it. It doesn't excuse what a huge shitstain he is the rest of the time.

Despite telling their videos I'm not interested youtube recommendations, they still keep popping up. I blame hbomberguy. Still, it's a small price I pay gladly to see those weirdos called out on their terrible logic and horrible worldviews. But I will admit that the titles they come up with can be funny in that sad way. That woman you mentioned seems to have a real chip on her shoulder about the wage gap she's so adamant that doesn't exist.

Kim Justice just recently made a video explaining that she was transgender, explicitly because she was sick of being asked about it over and over and over again. Youtube comments are always trash but it's still amazing that some people replying are saying things like "why even make a big deal about it, it's not an achievement to be transgender" when she literally says in the video that she doesn't think it matters with regards to her channel and is only making this video so people will stop questioning her over it constantly.

Walt Hickey on 538 put out a pretty good article on how online review aggregation is broken using Ghostbusters as an example:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/ghostbusters-is-a-perfect-example-of-how-internet-ratings-are-broken/

He had an earlier article as well about how men significantly bias user review scores on IMDB http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/men-are-sabotaging-the-online-reviews-of-tv-shows-aimed-at-women/
(Can we please ignore his one sentence portrayal of the AVGN as a "misogynistic web series" based on James Rolfe's refusal to see Ghostbusters? Please?)

The article didn't really have anything to do with whether or not the movie in his opinion was good, more about how you can get wildly different impressions of the film's quality because there are wildly different aggregate review scores for the same film on different sites and even using slightly different filtering metrics on those same sites. I really shouldn't have mentioned the line, I was only trying to prevent people from focusing on that sentence instead of the article. He only wrote a single sentence about him in the entire article, and it was in a paragraph about how all demographics like stuff that isn't really high art (with the AVGN used as an example of one such show listed on IMDB for the male demographic). Instead I just predictably drew more attention to it.

"Everyone says that about "Batman Begins." "Batman's dark." I'm like, "Okay, no, Batman's cool." He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn't, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that's how that would go."

He's saying that Batman goes to prison and is able to fight off everyone and then go on a cool adventure because he's a power fantasy in which harsh rules of reality don't apply but they may apply in his film. He just used an extremely dark example. More likely if a white dude started poo poo in a foreign prison he'd probably just end up shanked then buried in a ditch anonymously.

Or this is the same Zack Snyder that thinks that Rorschach is loving AWESOME and doesn't get that he's the avatar of insane right-wing bullshit. I'm inclined to believe that Snyder probably actually wants to see Bruce get pinned down by a bunch of guys and well... yeah.

I mean. He also directed 300 and Suckerpunch so I do wonder if he has a case of the "Not Gays" (I forgot who coined that term, maybe RLM?)

Nah, you described an aspect Zack Snyder's films and the most common complaint about his films is that they're needlessly dark just to be edgy or somesuch nonsense. So I quipped that yeah, power fantasies can have dark edges to them but not if you're comic book geek, who will probably complain that they're too dark and edgy, which I've seen happen quite a lot.

BigRed0427
Mar 23, 2007

There's no one I'd rather be than me.

the problem isn't dark and edgy per say. Dark superhero films can work. The problem with Batman V Superman is

1: Zack Snyder doing a dark and edgy superhero movie is a very drab and lifeless look. and at times it can just be eye rolling.

2: Superman is one of those heros that don't really work as grim, as long as you know what your doing. Zach Snyder doesn't.

For me personally, a "dark and edgy" superhero story most comes off as stupid because it's usually what a middle schooler finds edgy. Edgy can mean a lot of things besides blood, dark colors, and violence.
