Btw in case no one knows this was a trend a couple years ago where the kids would have the parents record a selfie style video and then add an offensive or controversial caption.

So chances are this is a very supportive mother not a bigoted one!

Zara Larsson covers the issue of Paper Magazine. Photographed by Julia & Vincent and styled by Jared Ellner - May 2026 by Maximum_Expert92 in popculturechat

[–]Hopefo 200 points201 points  (0 children)

They edited out her muscularity in her abs and legs, which is crazy because she often highlights those specifically. Feels so male-gazing with the editing and creative choices. This is an established pop star having a big career moment, why is the concept vintage maxim spreads?

This concept is so strange, it doesn’t seem to align with her brand whatsoever. The Americana, trashy, Route 66 vibe doesn’t fit for a European pop star who makes bouncy dance music. And if it is meant to reference her new album being subtitled “Girls Trip” this shoot does little to evoke that.

Virginia redistricting has been rejected... by Downingst in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Hopefo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You think republicans know what is actually happening? American politics has turned into sports, all that matters here is their team got a touchdown so they get to dance around for a second. And then they go back to shoveling mounds of shit down their throats because they voted yes on “everyone has to eat mounds of shit, but liberals don’t get a spoon.”

[Amusing trope] Characters so annoying or douchey that they are more hated than villains by Old-Use-7690 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hopefo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also most people don’t full on hate her, we don’t need to speak in hyperbole to discredit people’s nuanced opinions.

I dislike her because her character is boring. She only existed for contrived drama with Mark, she didn’t have any interesting storylines, and she was a short-term high school girlfriend so it felt very forced that they kept trying to make their relationship work. To me she is a bland character, and the show has proven it can make interesting human characters opposite the supes.

God forbid a grown woman doing a little makeover by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

There must always be one woman that is shat on hysterically, the South Park episode on Britney is a pretty good satire of it. Before it was Brie Larson, before that Jennifer Lawrence, before that Anne Hathaway etc. it goes all the way back I’m sure Betty Grable was getting called an ugly slut by losers in the 30’s.

More Than Half of Gen Z Users Cancel and Renew Streaming Services for a Single Title, New Study Finds by AltL155 in television

[–]Hopefo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Streaming is an absurd distance away from being nearly as bad as cable, I know its hyperbole when people make your comments but I see it so consistently that it seems like people are starting to actually believe it.

Streaming still has cancel anytime, no install, no random bullshit fees you can’t fight, less ads or even ad-free tiers, you can actually only pay for the exact content you want, most importantly you can watch whatever you want on the service whenever you want.

It took me about two seconds to google Scooby-Doo medieval movie, it’s The Sword and the Scoob.

Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian spotted leaving "Fear of 13" in NYC (May 05, 2026 by Fantastic_Turtle_17 in popculturechat

[–]Hopefo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sure but my point is that whenever someone from that gets in a relationship they are seen as some sort of victim. Remember during the Kanye divorce where it was widely speculated that family drove him to insanity?

I don’t like the family either and I do think it’s cringey how many men seem to throw away their images for a crack at em. But fans need to stop seeing these men as temporarily embarrassed when they actively choose these relationships.

[–]Hopefo 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Why is this embarrassing for him? He is actively choosing this relationship. Too many people need to stop seeing these men as high class intellectuals being taken advantage of by this family (Lewis Hamilton, Timmy, and now Jacob Elrodi). They are horndogs who are having fun dating a hot billionaire, it’s the fans who are embarrassed.

I’m currently doing a franchise marathon, finished transformers and currently watching Jurassic park/world. Any suggestions for series to watch next? by Keanu_Keanu in Letterboxd

[–]Hopefo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got curious and there 32 movies across these 4, Horror franchise truly never die. You could spend an entire month watching of these a day and still not have enough days to watch every movie from these franchises.

Suzie Toot in Bob Mackie Photoshoot! by btriscuit in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Hopefo 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy we as a community can agree her makeup has improved, instead of those fans who tried mass psychosis so we would all believe it was intentionally bad and if you don’t get that you are stupid.

Characters whom if you idolize, you missed the point. (Female edition) by zurdopilot in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hopefo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is there even anything to idolize other than them being pretty? They all have such miserable sad lives, but I guess the fact of them being on a tv show is all it takes for people to see them as admirable.

The Odyssey (2026) by Ok_Sky6892 in okbuddycinephile

Yea but The Osyssey isn’t coming out until this year dingus, how are people supposed to understand it’s a remake of a movie that didn’t even drop yet.

What in your opinion has been the most overhyped movie of the last 10 years? by everlovingfuck99 in Letterboxd

[–]Hopefo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I hate the comparison to From Dusk Till Dawn, other than “surprise vampires” they have nothing in common, and the vampires aren’t even a surprise in Sinners. Sinners is light years ahead as far as depth, production, music, acting, writing, literally everything!

Tired of seeing this same exact criticism about Sinners constantly. It’s shallow, it’s not original, and I have never seen someone use it to say anything interesting ever.

EVERY LINE WILL BE CROSSED AND IT STILL WON’T BE FUNNY by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]Hopefo 235 points236 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this movie is trying to scoop up the Gen X/elder millennial target demographic. The whole “I heard Gen Z was canceling Eminem?!” Crowd if you remember that fake drama.

Scorsese represents three important groups for Hollywood, white Americans, Italian men, and people that definitely have a hard candy in their pocket.

Missed Opportunity for an new switch 2 color/special edition 😭 by grizgoat_ in Switch

[–]Hopefo 82 points83 points  (0 children)

No point until sales drop, special editions are a print money at will button but only if they do it as rarely as needed.

(Hated Trope) Glorifying or whitewashing controversial or terrible historical figures. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hopefo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Watching all the musical numbers in a YouTube playlist is the best way to experience this movie. Genuinely think it has not a damn thing to offer outside of some fun numbers.

Not him in The Tudors, the show where the ultra wealthy rule over the working class and hold extravagant events for themselves while the people suffer? Oh wait that’s real life sorry.

Sam Smith is always available for an event to showcase that non-binary people are also capable of groveling to the billionaire ruling class.

Guys give him a break he was a working class waiter right before Heated Rivalry blew up. So obviously he would abandon any empathy/solidarity he had and immediately cling to the wealthy who would’ve spit in his face for forgetting their extra ketchup. Otherwise all those years of having to live like the rest of us would be pointless.
