- Comment on What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters? 2 weeks ago:
In the first season of Brooklyn 99, there is this weird plot line where Charles develops a crush on Rosa and she keeps telling him to back off. Likely done at the time to foil Peralta and Santiago’s immature, pig tail pulling romantic arc, but anyone whose watched more than a season knows those two characters are totally wrong for each other.
Its a little funny because it doesn’t come off as early writing weirdness. Charles was going through a really rough divorce at the time, and Rosa, while gruff, does deeply care about her friends (and him), and didnt want to slap him down. He later apologizes, and dates a few other women before settling in with a new LTR.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 2 weeks ago:
Dane DeHan in Valerean. The part was for an older Han Solo type. Dane was 35, but could still pass for a high schooler. The movie mostly now gets remembered for this miscast, and for its immensely interesting opening sequence, but the whole movie is made of action set pieces made out of sci fi insanity It should be remembered for that, and that Luc Besson is a grooming creepazoid.
Also, Timothy Chalamet. He was terrible in Dune, but I think he was most miscast as Willy Wonka. Hes always wooden, but Wonka needs to be animated! Cinema was introduced to the character with a fake fall into a back flip! Jeremy Alan White is right there!
- Comment on Anon starts talking to a girl 3 weeks ago:
lol so basically the premise of incelibacy is that there is a hierarchy of men (hence all the “alpha” or “beta” shit".) What you are was given out at birth (so yay, biological essentialism). they believe some traits highly valued by women (height, beauty, etc) and these were handed out at birth. If you are short, or slight, or bulky, they believe that no one can find you attractive (the black pill), no matter what other traits you cultivate. They are convinced no one might have any other taste, they have to look like Chris Hemsworth. So imagine a scale with Chris Hemsworth at the top, and everyone who doesn’t look like that having “low value.”
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 1 month ago:
Everyone is right; its an easy way to equate “deviancy” and to deny people rights. Its not just LGBT+; whenever nazis want to make a group of people a target, they accuse them of being “rapists” or “pedophiles.” The OG Nazis accused the Jews of wanting to molest Aryan women. Just look at Birth of a Nation. Or Trumps comments about Mexicans being rapists. It is also just generalized dehumanizing language.
But also: there is power in redefining “pedophilia.” It lets them attack LGBT+ by calling them “groomers” but then involve the services of inspectors who exist to… “verify” genitalia? It allows them to bring back child marriage or protect powerful clergy or rich assholes like Epstien, while attacking gay marriage. Libertarians attack the age of consent and want to bring back child labor. Everything becomes pedophilia except actual pedophilia. The real question becomes, why, when one has enough money or institutional power to do anything, like go to space or buy a senator to protect your wealth systemically, why does become extremely interested in fucking children?

- Comment on The Divine Dick 5 months ago:
In Exodus, Moses asked to see God’s face, and was not allowed to. God told him he would allow Moses to see his “back” instead. When I was a boy at Yeshiva, the prevailing wisdom was that God showed Moses the back of his neck, and his Tefilin knot. The Tefilin contains passages relating the Shema, and my Rabbis connected it back to how God has a devotion of his own to Israel in his tefilin (which this source also does).
The tefilin is a rite only permitted for men to practice, so I guess that’s ones thing for this meme. But the word used for back, אֲחֹרָ֑י, is more accurately translated as “butt.” Now why would God need a butt?
This is old Testament by the way. The J source for those who care, who often portrays God as a little earthier than the others.

Okay first thing: there is no mainstream left in US politics. AOC and Bernie taper off at a hair left of center. I don’t even dislike them. And normally that would be fine, but the right does include flamboyant, and very loud fascists. So the right has no counter weight, and what there is are Centrist Libs, who long for days of “reaching across the isle”, and “order,” and “civility” While people talk about Fascists projecting, the Libs are too, and they think everyone approaches politics that. They don’t realize the fascist uses their invitation to get, and civility as a mask, to play the game, and uses any means they can to gain power, and then disposes of the libs when they don’t need them anymore, and left, like Eddard Stark holding a piece of paper like his dick in the breeze.
This last piece of this is that there is an aspect of the left that matches what you say, the so called “dirt bag left,” streamers like Vaush and Hassan Abi, and Chapo Trap House. They are in fact quite controversy prone, and I don’t think they are good people, but I think they do match the general vibe of your statement.
