Please don't mix up definitions here. He's a neoliberal. Or my theory, which is he's a full on Trump loving conservative (see everything he's ever said about Muslims and trans people) who's bullshitting for money. A smarter Roseanne.

He thinks it's unnatural for humans to drink. But he loves weed.

Taking after his wife, then, who crowdfunded a concert tour to the tune of several times more than she needed then asked musicians local to the gigs to back her without being paid.

The campaign was for an album not a tour and she paid everyone.

That's pretty rich considering Palmer got blowback for asking artists to work for exposure.

Her justification for it, which was essentially "I was being an ignorant idiot who didn't realize I'm not an indie DIY artist anymore (despite being exactly that, technically) and due to my success shouldn't be acting like I'm still couch surfing in the early Dresden Dolls days," and then paying everyone and it never happening again is all perfectly reasonable. Honestly anyone who still brings it up years later is probably just a misogynist and should be featured in this thread, but not for the reasons they think and are causing them to post right now.

Amanda Palmer surely receives way more than her fair share of vitriol due to misogyny but I think people also bring it up because Amanda Palmer has a history of doing and saying problematic things that could also be featured in this thread. "I was being an ignorant idiot" is one thing for regular business terribleness and another when you're saying racist or ableist things, so sorry, not much slack from me.

She actually did make a comic about her molested conjoined twins project, but y'all are right, probably not for this thread. It's just refreshing not to have to think about EVS in here.

People should bring up those things instead then. But they don't. I wonder loving why.

E: Let me add to this one thing. Amanda Palmer has said and done a lot of poo poo that's dumb as gently caress and hasn't owned up to all of it. But if you look at interviews with her she's the first to admit she's a flawed person. Constantly bringing up the things she has owned up to, apologized for, and course corrected on is lovely. It's doubly lovely to move the conversation off of her husband and somehow blame her for his lovely actions. If you don't see how basically saying "oh no, pure and good Neil has been corrupted by his evil witch of a wife," makes you sound like you should be on one of EVS's streams cutting up an Amanda Palmer record with a knife, then maybe you should take some time for self reflection.

NPC also has the undertone of "These people don't matter, so it doesn't matter if they live or die". But yea the irony of NPC branded people just repeating what they're been told is thick and rich like cream cheese icing. I've never seen people so devoid of all original thought then them.

Every person on Twitter who has called me an NPC has immediately blocked me when I bring up this irony

Having seen the movie Disney would be insane to consider this, as would any sane person. I honestly wasn't sold on Brie when she as first announced (I like her and loved Room but just wasn't sure if she was a good fit for Carol) but she's probably the best casting they've done since RDJ.

Yeah, but it needed to make like 500 million to turn a profit and needed 300 million to just break even.

That's only with bullshit Hollywood math where it counts all previous attempts to make a third Ghostbusters film in it.

Also the issue with it wasn't that it was "woke" anyway, it was that it was just a really middle of the road, nothing movie.

Anyone who's gonna say GB16 is a bad movie should have to defend GB2 being a better movie first.

Honestly the fact that so many of us remember a time when dude or bro very nearly became neutral terms speaks to our age more than anything.

It's like how some writers use "Sir" as a gender neutral term in a military context despite the fact that you'd actually use "Ma'am" when appropriate.

The sir thing is because in the military this is actually the proper terminology. Or at least that was my understanding of it.

I guess they must have also had an insider who whispered in James Cameron's ear to cram the first six hundred pages of the manga into an two hour movie and mash characters from even later chapters into it haphazardly. Curse those meddling SJW's!

The movie is actually better than the manga and the changes made a lot of sense.

You know, there's being contrary for :goonsay:-sake and then there's just being the biggest moron possible.

Nobody is going to remember it was even a thing a year from now.

Probably not. But no one knew what the manga was either and it's been around for decades. It's also hundreds of issues long and went for a long, long time. Condensing and cutting stuff is how adaptation works, and doing a strict 1:1 translation of the source would not have worked at all as a movie.

I have reported so many replies about guns and bullets and how people who threaten children deserve to be staring down the barrel of a gun, etc. it is seriously out of hand. These people are absurd and the only evidence they have of Ren “threatening a child” are two other people saying someone should call Child Protective Services. I am pretty worried she is going to get hurt. For the heinous crime of writing a short story in a comic book.

She's apparently called the cops and has been archiving tweets and live streams.

The first episode of Doom Patrol was pretty bad, it was yet another mass produced low budget DC show throw out to see if it would stick on the wall.
But yeah, this looks like a classic review bomb by people who have never actually watched it.

This is a bad opinion. Doom Patrol rules and episode one in particular obviously had some money put into it.

The design of Mr Nobody hurts my soul, as does every shred of the humor I've seen. I haven't managed to pull together the desire to watch more than trailers that made my entire body cringe.

That's definitely review-bombing though.

Nobody looks fine. I love his comic design but it just wouldn't have worked here. Maybe if he had been a Roger rabbit style animated character? But that's gotta be beyond the budget.

It is frankly baffling how they've attached their egos to a crappy YouTube lawyer's legal prowess.

He's from a town in my home state. His office is a block away from a trailer park, and in a strip mall. The town in question has a population of about a thousand people, three liquor stores, and eight churches. That should tell you all you need to know about him and his practice.
