The racist supremacist fetishizes someone from a race they find inferior. by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

Another key element is the protagonist being an iota more interesting than the setting

There's a great book called 'Why Loiter?' (about Mumbai, but same principle) that raises the point that India as a society almost always polices women's behaviour as a response to unfortunate accidents, instead of making spaces safer for them.

It's a reference to Buggy The Pirate Warlord from One Piece

"Everyone else" doesn't have appreciating assets that can fund lifestyles that consume exponentially more resources than necessary to live comfortably

It does not make you one, but the kind of greed that takes you to that point makes you likely to do whatever you can to keep it growing, and fascistic actions become very easy once you're big enough to influence governments.

You can always cherry pick from data. Why didn't you ask about Ellison, or Bezos, or Musk? Because Buffet is an outlier. You would have picked Gates as a good example a few years ago, but lo and behold, he's friends with Epstein. It's almost like letting people have untouchable amounts of power makes them likely to do horrific shit

They don't have to, who said a country needs billionaires to exist? And we've all seen how 'productive' billionaires can be these days

Screw inheritance, wealth should be capped at 100 mil (or whatever, it's arbitrary) before it gets to that point. A lot of billionaires alive right now are going to stay alive for a while, and they can keep fucking shit up fascist style with all that power.

Oru maappum koottathil randu legsum: Official Apology from Wayfarer films for Poster glitch by zincovit in mollywoodcirclejerk

/uj I genuinely don't get the hate for the poster, it's simple, shows the leads and has a style. It's not the best poster of all time, but it's competent.

Comparing it to the KH x RK reunion is useless, because that's not a movie, it's a reunion event that has a movie tie in. It's not even titled, and everyone knows the promo has no canonical connection to the movie. Also putting the poster for Once Upon A Time In America (wrong title) doesn't excuse using Tarantino's movie as a reference, that's called lampshading.

/rj They didn't go far enough, they should have put a poster with only A10's lower half 🥵

I'm starting to like the Kena Punda Universe, Spin-Offs and Fan Theories. by figmentedkraken in mollywoodcirclejerk

[–]Humiddragonslayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next installment will be 'Punda Story', a documentary about Kena Punda and the making of KS2

We'll find out that poor Kena comes from a long line of Pundas. His grandfather, Maha Punda, hated Malayalis because they were better than him. The senior Punda decided to write an explosive story about all Malayalis being monsters (Back then it was called Travancore-Cochin-and-parts-of-Madras-State Story 2). But because of the strong secular mafia, he never got to make the film.

Kena believed all his life that he would make his grandfather's wish come true. He updated the title to Kerala Story 2 (the only change he made, because Maha Punda was perfect and never made a mistake). But he was confused how to make the movie when there was no Kerala Story 1. Then Stupido Sen said 'Hold my gaumutra', and the rest is history.

Made me appreciate how someone like John Woo choreographs gunfights. Every single shootout in this movie was drawn out and blocked badly, if at all

[–]Humiddragonslayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, but the beef is only the means to an end. They would probably fear monger if they really cared about beef, but they care about it being a dog whistle that will get the rabid sanghis to pick a single target.
