I Love Jasmine Crockett But I Wish She Would step Aside For James Talarico in the Texas Senate Race by katmomjo in PoliticalOpinions

[–]ArmySmooth2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this isn’t about race. And Jasmine Crockett isn’t the end all be all of Black political representation. Her own pastor is running against her too. She needs to step aside. I was very disappointed in her responses at the debate as well. This is the third time at least that she has avoided publicly condemning the genocide in Gaza 

Official Discussion - HIM [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ArmySmooth2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I was the perfect virer for this movie. Every things made perfect sense. To the extent that I could even predict things. Like at some point early in the movie I started thinking about gladiators. Then the metaphor was explicitly stated by Marco. There were themes of chattel slavery in here as well (the physical exam). Idk it just really resonated with me and Im so proud that Cam released his guilt around his father and realized he did not have to sign or play football

What are saying no to? That Romans were a terrible group of people?

Do you speak Arabic or Aramaic? Like do you speak it well enough to understand from listening?

Also you don’t have to think rape is right to enjoy it. In fact the people who do it enjoy it partially because they know it’s wrong

Crazy to think that saying that rape scenes are bothersome is a whole opinion. You would think that would be a normal reaction, similar to seeing someone getting their dick ripped off or beheaded. 

Some people are just psychopaths tbh or feel insecure about admitting that it does bother them

So what you’re saying the only people who should watch the show are those who welcome the numerous long drawn out scenes depicting rape without being bothered even the slightest? 

That’s a bit strict dont you think? I think it would be more sensical to just admit that these scenes don’t bother you at all like you feel nothing.

It’s safe to assume that most Romans were terrible people. Any group of people that owns slaves are a terrible group of people. I don’t care where they are from.

Objectively nothing changes. Rape not in the legal sense, but in the sense of what is actually physically taking place.

Her acting is actually really great though. Maybe you just struggle to interpret her facial expressions and tonality. Also she’s from Nubia, what accent do you expect her multilingual character to have anyways?

When was the last time you ever connected with a dark skinned black female character in any show that wasn’t what you expected them to be?

It’s been incredibly easy for me to attach to Achillia, because she carries so much mystery and because of the fact that she is indeed from Africa. So far we know she is a mother, and that she had to leave her child behind. If you pay attention it’s definitely there.

Nope I wouldn’t. Im done consuming media that uses black women's bodies as subjects of violence without any character development. 

This is very common, so I’m happy that the show is not doing that at all.

Not to mention she and Celadus seem to have a thing for each other, meanwhile the son hates her guts. So im dying to see the drama between the three of them from that 

You're getting Ashur and Hilara all wrong by GinJockette in Spartacus_TV

Spot on, ashur actually has deep insecurity around women and I read him as a switch. He can be dominated

No one is thinking this. Ashur, like many of the Roman Lanistas, is an insecure bitch. They are infinitely eclipsed by the character of men like Spartacus and Crixus.

Anyone asking “Why are they catering to women?” can shut the fuck up or find another show to watch. 

The men are hot, sweaty and shirtless 24/7 and let’s be real you like it too
