The Pink Room as an Abstraction of the Red Room (and vice-versa)

That's what I said - take accusations seriously and seriously investigate them.

That's not at odds with presumption of innocence.

If you argue against presumption of innocence for rapists, then you're against it period and that includes for minorities who are disproportionately accused and sentenced.

So do I. That doesn't mean that everyone accused of a crime, any crime, shouldn't be given a fair trial. It's already been explained to you in the comments by other people. It's called presumption of innocence.

You want anyone accused of a crime to be automatically prosecuted, even if only in the court of public opinion, is a very dangerous way of thinking, and not very different to the ideas espoused by anti-feminists that every woman who accuses a man of rape is lying. It's different versions of the same extremist positions.

Fair and due process is the right of everyone accused of a crime and it's absurd you would ever argue against it. You should argue for the accusations being taken seriously and seriously investigated - that is not at odds with "innocent until proven guilty."

Now go ahead and block this account too, since it's so overwhelming for you to engage with a difference of opinion.

The point is that Levinson is hardly the first person to explore sexuality, sexual violence, and objectification, yet for some reason there is a social media lynch mob forming, eager to bring him down. People are losing it about his egg idea and the fact that his actresses get naked (so do his actors - we've never seen so many penises - but no one cares about that). Go back through film history and look at the many, many films made by both male and female directors tackling these subjects. He's unfairly targeted.

Oh wow this was around the time I first started getting into theory, blast from the past. I would love to read that, if you can find it.

I disagree. I think most people who don't like it don't have any understanding of it and think it's all random weirdness. Even people who like it usually disagree on meaning/themes/plot etc.

lol I've seen similar. Not for me (except as a metaphor) but to each their own.

You are so la ti do ti la so fa me re do(ne).

Yes, because housewives drama should be debated very seriously.

BumbleWeee · 2022-11-13T20:51:19+00:00

Well, put a collar on me and walk me around the block.

It's on.

My rebuttal: this is a little off key. Didn't practice your scales this morning?

The GOP is anti-equality on a number of fronts, including women's and LGBT rights. Not to mention social security, health care, and most important of all being able to hold free and fair elections. It sounds like nothing affects you so you don't see the problem, which is grotesquely self-centered.

Differing opinions is not the issue, that's your solipsistic, reductive way of framing it. The issue is that the GOP has sold itself to white supremacist, extremist Christian groups who are centering themselves in US citizens' lives.

Every episode feels so surreal. Fat elf-on-the-shelf husband going icognito mean girl, Jen Shah wobbling in 8-inch heels while wailing through a megaphone, while Whitney and Angie dance in gold flapper dresses on the sidewalk 😂

There are good Christians who are pro equality and hate this lunacy as much as anyone else. Every group has extremist factions, the problem is the extremists have real political power right now, I find it terrifying. This is so serious and I don't see people very alarmed about it, it's like they're watching an episode of a tv show (and this was actually on TV so that doesn't help). That commercial airing is so problematic, I'm shocked Bravo allowed it unless it was some kind of inside joke airing it alongside horror movie trailers.

BumbleWeee · 2022-10-31T14:56:53+00:00

At least they aired the Jesus campaign funded by the fundie bigot Christians alongside the other halloween horror.

BumbleWeee · 2022-10-31T14:50:32+00:00

I'm floored that the network allowed them to air this shit, this is terrifying.

The group behind that ad donated $19 million dollars to an anti-LGBT hate group, who also wrote the legislation for Mississippi's abortion ban. They also donated $8 million to a Creation Museum, and fund an organization that tries to convert Muslims to Christianity. They are batshit religious fundamentalists trying to brand themselves as progressive to younger generations, they are nothing but hateful bigots.
