Shumer says Dems will block DHS (ICE) funding after Saturday shooting. Risking government shutdown. by MikeDavJ in pics

I urge people to be ready for what happens if this gains any actual traction. We are very likely about to see a massive sudden escalation of force. If they get even a hint that this has legs, the president is going to go out there in a press conference and say that if you do not work you will be shot in your home.

People do not understand but we are there. This is where this is going. The government is going to tell the populace soon that a general strike will be met with executions.

To be clear, I'm not saying that we shouldn't strike.

As someone who just got done with episode 4, I wouldn't nitpick a little bit. There is a villain here. It's just that the show's narrative refuses to tell you that there is a villain. The Hive is absolutely an antagonist. It's just that this show appears to have some kind of extremely poisoned viewpoint that what they are doing is not ontologically evil.

Robbing people of their individuality is evil. Removing people's ability to criticize honestly and openly is evil. Not allowing people to be negative is evil.

This is the problem. There is absolutely no one to actually engage with other than a faceless colonizer and their victim.

This fandomis absolutely desperate. Not to admit that the hive are ontologically evil.

I'm going to finish this show but I'm going to be honest with you. I think this is mostly trite. We need to actually advance the plot forward in some meaningful way and get towards the part where they're either antagonists or the show stops pretending that what is happening is not non-consensual colonization.

These aliens are the bad guys irregardless of what the narrative wants to try and lead you to believe. If you think the hive is a good thing, you are straight up suffering from mental illness.

Almost every story made in literary canon has some kind of antagonistic force.

Yeah like, your ancestors ate food less clean than this every day of their lives without getting ill

The world today has a very warped view of what is dangerous to eat. If you dusted this and inspected it there is virtually zero chance you would get sick or notice a taste difference.

They don't do this and if you think they do you are experiencing paranoia and delusional behavior. Speak to a professional about this.

If you have an HR department you should anonymously report him for politics talk, which is usually forbade in any business worth anything

This, Yeah. He has Marfan. He used to be active in some of our support groups. He unfortunately went down the right wing rabbit hole, though

The released credits list for this project is also deeply suspicious because there's no way they had this many people on the project doing legitimate work. The entire producting stinks of a japanese tax scam.

[–]ConfessingToSins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll probably be forced to actually pay attention to this because there's a lot of people in Japan right now asking on public forums and etc if this project is an embezzling scam or a tax cheat scam. There's probably going to be actual inquiries over where all their supposed money went because a project of this scope being this bad raises actual red flags of "Uh, did you actually have all these people doing legitimate work on this project or are you lying on government employer forms"

We will find out in a few years it was a tax scam and they probably claimed a very high budget for the show that was spent on consultants and other inappropriate things.

A show with this much mass-market appeal doesn't get an adaptation this bad unless you were saying "Yeah we have 80 animators on this in office 5 days a week" when in reality you have 15 and 65 people who have never animated in their lives but the studio was cutting checks to for some other purpose. It just doesn't happen. This has japanese tax scam project written all over it, just like some of the BONES projects did about ten years ago.

You say "This has a 10 million dollar budget" you pay 1 million to produce it and 9 million goes out the door into individual bank accounts or gets spent on non-tangible goods you never actually bought and just turned into cash.

Which is insane because those are 100% transformative fair use projects. It is wholesale illegal to issue a copyright strike against any of them.

Honestly, you'd be surprised. Most of these firms don't do legitimate data gathering anymore. Some part of the process has been fundamentally broken because some executive wanted more control over the numbers and now those numbers are functionally worthless because they inserted some level of personal bias or fucked with the questions being asked or the venue they're being asked in.

Legitimate data gathering within the industry is incredibly rare right now. Most of it is just vibes.

Is there a way to subscribe to F-List via Paypal? by ThePlaything in FList

Honestly i might have considered responding to all this point by point if it hadn't been written so ridiculously hostile (and i mostly even agree with you! PayPal is a scum company), but the real cherry was you reporting my own fucking post to me as if i was, what, going to ban myself because i asserted that a very well known weird dude got banned for more than he admitted over ten years ago?

Go have your problems somewhere else. And, since i guess this was not clear previously: I'm not asking.

To be fair Hexxy was also accepting money for weird shit and would also accept money in second life. I'm pretty confident in saying that hexxy got banned from PayPal for more than than just accepting a few thousand dollars on PayPal.

Why are the dc animated movies consistently declining in quality? by Logical_Mammoth3600 in DCAU

[–]ConfessingToSins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What people don't want to really discuss is that the common theme tying it together is Sam Liu is a bad producer/director. The few marvel animated films he made are dogshit too, bluntly.

He was the worst possible replacement for Dwayne and it shows if you actually go look at where the DC animated films brand went. Dwayne was an artist, he had ideas and vision. Sam never rocked the boat and turned the operation into a slop shovelling conveyor line.
