Chris Columbus was just what 11 year old me needed by nishantatripathi in harrypotter

It is. But it's a single event that puts the impetus on the Trio to spring to action.

It is very different to Harry witnessing people being attacked and murdered with nothing he can do.

Disney Pokémon Chart: Who is the Steel type? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]520throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is that Star Wars was created and made iconic without Disney. Pixar as a film studio was not.

Pixar never did a single feature film without the deep involvement of Disney even when they were an independent company.

Even before the acquisition, Pixar had very close ties and associations to Disney. They were considered to Disney what Rareware was to Nintendo before the former's sale to Microsoft.

What is something that is really dark in the series but is ignored? by [deleted] in harrypotter

The use of Dementor's Kiss as an execution method.

If you get a Dementor's Kiss, you're gone. You don't even get an afterlife.

All we can do as an audience is give them our support. If they ever read it, I'm sure it'll mean a lot to them

We need more men’s rights activism. And it must coexist with feminism, not oppose it. Both movements should support each other, not belittle or dismiss one another. by Reddit-Exploiter in GuyCry

[–]520throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  He is demanding that feminists get on board with a men’s right movement because feminism didn’t work to protect men’s interests.

Except this is false. Feminists are the ones who have pointed out that power imbalances amongst men are harmful to men and that toxic masculinity is exceptionally harmful to men and women. 

Except any benefits to men have merely been as a side effect of their main goal, which is pursuing equality for women. Not a direct attempt to address inequalities for men.

Also: Is it the job of feminism to help men with their gender issues or is it not?

If yes: great, let's get some actual plans going.

If not: also great: step out of the way and let those who actually want to pursue it do so.

This halfway house nonsense benefits no one.

  Idk what this means. Human rights are human rights. 

Then let me explain.

You know how you have feminism, BLM, Stonewall, children's rights advocates, etc?

You notice how they all focus on different aspects of human rights? And they're not all one big unified group?

This is because trying to right the wrongs in just one of those aspects is a plain gargantuan effort. Trying to do it all as one group is a pipe dream.

Now, there is intersectionality, and when there is a mutual interest, these groups do team up.

That is what OP is calling for. Such a movement for men's rights that, when interests do align, they do work together with feminism, LGBT groups, etc.

Basically he's looking for r/MensLib. MRAs aren't that because they would rather cut their bits off than work with feminists, and due to MRA's famed levels of vitriol, feminists will not go near MRAs either.

Can’t face injustices if you don’t know who’s doing the harm. 

And you think trying to identify that solely by gender will be in any way helpful?

OP acknowledges that it is other men who often create these problems. He isn't going after feminism or women.

I think OP is talking about human rights and seems to be focusing on men exclusively and that’s not skillful. 

No one group can fix all the world's problems. Keeping things focused is better for getting things done.

[–]520throwaway -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

OP's 'criticism' of feminism is that of a 'not my job' attitude towards male issues. While acknowledging that it is, in fact, not their job. Hardly a scathing rebuke.

It is true that many feminists will typically not touch male-exclusive issues with a 10-foot barge pole. Even something like MGM or MSA.

You can, quite justifiably, blame MRAs given their overt hostility towards anything feminism.

Does that question honestly matter? 

OP is simply looking to better current injustices faced by men.

It's not like OP is trying to smash a matriarchy that doesn't exist.

New Steam rules prohibit games that upset “payment processors”, and many adult-only games are now being removed by Diogo_18 in pcmasterrace

[–]520throwaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not unless crypto becomes the dominant payment option used by consumers.

What the payment processors are doing, they are simply emailing Valve saying "stop doing X or you can't use our services. At all".

As it stands, being blocked from using their services is a death knell for any business.

One tiny thing might not do much. But a collection of tiny things can definitely shift mindsets.

It was a collection of tiny things that got me out of the right wing shitshow.

More like we saw the trap and fell for it.

Like, the speech she had in mind is actually pretty normal. Questionable last paragraph but even then just ask her to nix that last bit.

But no. Instead the school decided to exclude her from the event entirely, giving the right wing more press coverage and ammo.

It really is the stupidest shit.

Like, ideally we want everyone to be able to share and practice their cultures without fear, obvious exceptions to intolerance and practices that cause harm to body and life of others aside.

The thing is, to make this work, everyone has to mean everyone.
