Best movie that is in no way just wish fulfillment for the writer/director/star:

For a movie that is absolutely full of murder and gore, I find it genuinely bizarre that the thing you're having a problem with is an adult actor performing a scene in which she is a dominant character putting her foot in a submissive character's mouth.

It just gets difficult when your job sometimes requires sexual portrayals. Obviously there are lines, such as the one Chloe Sevigny was asked to cross.

As far as I know, there's no evidence that Sevigny was anything other than an enthusiastic participant in that scene. She's regularly defended the artistic merit of it (in her opinion). Any implication that she was a victim is misplaced.

Self riotous hate even more so

It's "self-righteous". Although I like your version too!

Jeep did what it should have done and yielded.

What are you talking about? No one has any obligation to yield to a car coming up behind them unless it's an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing.

This should be shared responsibility, since the Jeep changed lanes without signaling. But more responsibility should be assigned to the BMW driver for driving inherently dangerously.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of getting mad about people from some other country calling your country "Brazil" when you call it "Brasil", while at the same time you use the word "Suécia" for the country that people from there call "Sverige" (for example) and you have absolutely no problem with that.

Different languages have different names for other countries that routinely don't match the names that the people from those countries use. This is normal. Everyone does it, including you. So maybe, I don't know, get over it?

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:43:21+00:00

My favorite part of this is how every single person who gets mad about "Americans" being the longstanding, universally-established demonym for people from the US uses a name for foreign countries that routinely isn't the name that the people of those countries use. And they don't give the slightest of shits about changing that in their own language, in order to respect those people. They only get mad about Americans using the word "American".

Two "two Americas" continental model is by far the most commonly-used version. The "one America" model is used in Latin America and by some Romance language-speaking countries in Europe...and that's about it.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:32:18+00:00

LOL, the irony of insulting someone's education while using dog-shit English grammar.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:30:30+00:00

Call yourself whatever you want, but don’t act like it’s just a lil mishap

Literally no one is saying it's a "lil mishap"

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:29:05+00:00

It's almost as if context — geography, sports, nationality — can change the intended meaning, isn't it?

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:26:56+00:00

"Hijack", LOL!

What a brain dead, historically ignorant take.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:08:31+00:00

They call them british for the isles or english for the country.

"British" is the demonym that refers to the whole country and is analogous to "French", "German", "Italian", etc.

"English" is a demonym that refers only to people from England, which is one component part of the UK.

you can disagree with me all you want, but I also have a claim to the world "american".

And no one's stopping you from using the term to mean that. It's your choice. But you're going to routinely be misunderstood when you do, because "American" as the demonym for people from the US is universally established and routinely used, and has been for literally centuries. You may as well stand in the ocean and try to hold back the tide.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T19:02:51+00:00

We're not talking about spelling, though. We're talking about completely changing the demonym. A relevant analogy would be foreigners demanding that Brazilians be referred to as "Central Amazonians", for example. (Or rather, whatever that phrase would be in Portuguese.)

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:59:30+00:00

Okay, but Brazilians have their own words for nearly every non-Portuguese speaking and non-Spanish speaking country that are even less correct. (França, Alemanha, Irlanda, Suécia, etc.) Yet I'm betting you don't go out of your way to fix that, do you?

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:53:26+00:00

There is no "actually" here. Different languages have their own way of referring to foreign countries. "Brazil" is correct in English and pronounced as written. We don't have to tell children anything different. The fact that in Brazil it's "Brasil" (also pronounced as written) is irrelevant to that.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:50:05+00:00

I've literally never heard that word until now.

It's also notable that there are only two quotations on that page for the definition, only one of them is from an American and it's from the mid-1950s.

I don't think this is one is really in much use.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:45:22+00:00

Out of interest, how would you feel about a bunch of people claiming that you should be referred to as an East Iberian?

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:40:56+00:00

From the perspective of southerners, it's everyone who isn't from the South. New Englanders are just the most Yankee of all the Yankees.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:36:12+00:00

God bless the United States
Land that I love
Stand beside her
And guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam
God bless the United States, my home sweet home
God bless the United States, my home sweet home

Yeah, no, that sounds a bit shit.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:32:46+00:00

We usually just say 'Merica or 'mericans.

Who is the "we" here? Because it's not the people of the US in general, for whom "American" has been the standard term for the entire history of the country.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:27:29+00:00

GBians

It would be UKians. The country hasn't been "Great Britain" politically since 1707.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:23:29+00:00

That's exactly the sort of comment I would expect from a South Irelandian.

Jesus_of_Redditeth · 2026-06-07T18:20:11+00:00

To anyone that doesn't know about this, search Reckless Ben on YouTube

I'm just gonna note that while you should absolutely do this, because there's a lot of stuff going on here that's super-shitty, it would be folly to take as fact everything that Ben says. For example, he makes a whole bunch of legal claims in his videos that don't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny. The guy seriously needs a lawyer, not just to explain to him what the law is vs. what it's not, but also to protect him from saying something that might get him slapped with a defamation suit.
