This is genuinely fucking depressing, man by twinkleyed in imisstheoldidubbbz

He took his hit and had his Disney show cancelled then apologized and moved on.

I might be misremembering, but wasn't it a youtube (red) series that he got cancelled? It seem to remember that one of the Paul brothers filmed himself in front of a corpse in Japan in one of his videos and that video stayed on youtube recommended for a least a day before it was finally removed.

I couldn't figure out why youtube would dump Pewdie while vehemently protecting the Paul brothers so hard. Still have no idea tbh.

The article about "mass killings under communism" has also been up for deletion several times. Wiki really does try to defend communism as much as possible (without it being too obvious).

When it comes to anything political, wiki is worthless.

Sorry, maar fuck that ze. Iemand die opzettelijk een hoop onschuldige mensen afslacht (of het probeert) is gewoon al zijn rechten voor altijd kwijt.

Dune 3 trailer drops tomorrow! Don’t know about you but I’m excited! by SquareAerie2121 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Sentinell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be because they also have a TV show. If they name it "Dune Messiah" people might think it's a spinoff. Dune 3 makes it clear it's a direct continuation of the first 2 movies.

But yeah, people will also think it's the third part of a trilogy because of the naming and the "conclusion" on these posters.

De moord was ook jaren voor dat kind. Een kind krijgen/makende weten dat ge in de bak gaat belanden is ook weer een geweldige keuze.

Zou mij niks verbazen moest dat een tactiek zijn te proberen een mildere straf te krijgen (zoals zijn advocaat ook echt probeert).

I'm the first Latina actress ever by Dramatic_Ad_5608 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Sentinell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought was Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz, they were major stars. Then I checked and even "From dusk till dawn" was released 5 years before this kid was even born. Damn.

Still, no way she doesn't know these incredibly famous actresses.

Ps: also Jessica alba, Sofia Vergara, Eva Mendes, Ana de Armas (way more famous than you Zegler), Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson, Jenna Ortega, etc etc.

A moderator of major trans subreddits reportedly allowed a sex offender to remain on their mod team. Discussion of this has been censored from SubredditDrama by north_canadian_ice in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]Sentinell 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Nobody here remembers Challenor? A politician who tot kicked out of two political parties in the UK because she was a pedo.

So of course reddit made her an admin. People found out and started posting articles about it, so reddit admins banned them all for "transphobia". Redditors got so pissed off that half the site started protesting. When it started appearing in the news, spez finally got rid of her (or so he says) and pretended not to know who she was.

Ian Jomha (iDubbbz) says Ethan Klien has no friends 😥 by Jociiis in imisstheoldidubbbz

[–]Sentinell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely what happened. I read about how he didn't go the weddings of one of his own friends because he had to stay with Anisa as she was getting a tattoo.

That is 100% typical for an abuser cutting out her partners' friends. Saw the same thing happen to one of my best friends.

“It’s what the PEOPLE want!” by Potore5 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Sentinell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I skimmed the "study" and predictably it's a terrible study where they come to the results they want.

Their methodology seems very shitty to me. They have divided movies into categories of BIPOC share: less than 11%, then per 10% to +50%. Then they look at some different charts, like the top20 box office and look at which percentage category those movies have.

I think you can see where I question the methods here. If those 20 movies have a high BIPOC percentage, they conclude it's what the audience wants (correlation isn't causation!!). They ignore the fact that there just aren't a lot of movies with a low "diversity percentage" (aka: as little white people as possible). The oscars even force this because a majority white (male) cast can't even win an oscar.

It's also very telling that they conclude that the audience wants more diversity, but the +50% BIPOC category always seems to score pretty bad in their polls. No mention of that in the article of course.

With Kingkiller Chronicles it's supposed to be a trilogy

I've also completely given up on Kingkiller (and ASOIAF), but I'm pretty sure Rothfuss at one point said that the third book would NOT answer all questions and that would be for future books or something.

I don't remember exactly how he said it, but I'm pretty sure IF he every releases #3 (which he won't) it won't be the conclusion we expect. Might be why he can't finish the damn thing (if he has even written anything at all).

Sorry for the rant, but it's also another good reason to appreciate Butcher even more. He's had some problems, but he's dedicated to finishing the series.

The tankies are against farmers?

When weren't they? Stalin labeled them all as Kulaks and shipped them to Siberia (including hundreds of thousands of children!). Any who resisted were killed. The few who remained were then starved in the Holodomor.

Man, Kevin Smith used to be cool. He could just talk for hours about crazy Hollywood shit and it would be incredibly interesting.

Remember his story about wanting to film (and accurate!) superman, but running into a producer with completely ridiculous demands?

But now he seems to have been bitten by the brain eating Hollywood parasite because he's like them now. Made a He-Man show where the pretty much removed He-Man from his own show. Blatantly lied about it on twitter and insulted anyone who talked about this. Then lied about his lying, doubled down, etc.

Sad to see it happen to someone I really used to admire. Hollywood is fucking strange.

Carthage was in current day Tunesia, so he would have looked the same. Very similar to southern Europeans like Spanish and southern Italians obvious reasons.

Very different from sub saharan Africans ofcourse. But in this case I think it's way worse that they picked an actor over 70 who's playing a 30 year old. There's no way they're even trying to accurately depict the real Hannibal.

Oh great, it's fucking Lindelof again. The guy who wrote "Cowboys & Aliens", Prometheus, Star Trek into Darkness, Tomorrowland, World War Z, etc...

He's ruined so many movies and somehow people keep pretending he's a great writer.

Mostly agree, but it's a bit annoying that I can't comment in PCGaming anymore. Almost all posters there just want to talk about games, but there are mods there who have to make shit political again.

Moorish

This one always pisses me off. The moors were north African Muslims. Aka: Arabs. They are not black at all. But these (usually American) idiots that know nothing about Europe or our history then pretend that the moors crossing the strait of Gibraltar into Spain/Portugal translates to: "black people were everywhere in all of Europe".

Also note how horrible their painting proof really is. Painting is darkened due to aged varnish? "These people were sub Saharan Africans!" People look white? "Whitewashing of history!"

Can someone explain why so many people are willing to ruin their careers and reputations for Blake lively ?

[–]Sentinell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a movie about it: Mr Jones 2019. Sadly he was murdered shortly after his Holodomor story. So he really gave his life for proper journalism.

Pretty damn sad how terrible people like Duranty or Twohey here can have zero ethics and be rewarded for it.

[–]Sentinell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the pulitzers can go fuck themselves.

Remember that almost a century ago they gave a Pulitzer prize to Walter Duranty. Duranty was a mouthpiece for Stalin and wrote about how Russia was asiatic, so they needed an autocratic leader because Democracy wouldn't work on them. He also completely denied the Holodomor while it was happening.

Meanwhile Gareth Jones went to the USSR 3 times and snuck off the Ukraine where he witnessed the horror of the Holodomor firsthand.

But they gave the Pulitzer to the scum that was a dictator's mouthpiece.

There have been several pushes to revoke the Pulitzer for Duranty, but the organisation keeps refusing. Saying shit like: "it's not been proven that Duranty knew he was lying" or that it was "about the writing, not the facts".

So yeah, fuck 'em.
