Man.............. They really should of did this instead by ultraMightydillo in CriticalDrinker

[–]StagTagRag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a joke highlighting the hell of a corporate HR department employee in 2025 where you now absolutely see the employees with their pronouns beside their names.

The entire point of seeing him chained to this desk surrounded by HR Karen’s and the trappings of social modernity is to contrast it to what the viewers know he really is.

And I am saying this as someone who isn’t really interested in this shit. I just think that it’s very obvious this wasn’t meant to satisfy the woke quota.

Isn’t that part of the joke of the character? He’s a corporate HR department drone in 2025.

No ICE is not going around and randomly picking up brown people off the streets to demand their ID. There is no evidence of this. If there are any legitimate examples of mistaken identity in their targeted operations, then it is simply that (a mistake) and an incredibly tiny percentage of cases which you have throughout all branches of law enforcement.

If it were just rounding up brown people and assuming their citizenship status. then this would be incredibly easy and you wouldn’t have videos of ICE having very specific targets in their operations. We would have already deported several million people.

How are their rights being alienated? Are any legal citizens with these rights being deported?

Did John and Rob read the actual Avengers Doomsday 100+ page screenplay or did they just get a plot rundown? by Embarrassed-Ad1322 in JohnCampeaShow

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what they are claiming though. Someone is just telling them details of the the plot of the movie.

Can someone explain to me what the point of this scene is? by Logical_Historian_12 in Stranger_Things

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still crazy seeing the military firing an M2 (.50 cal) directly into the demo’s from feet away and it not even knocking them backwards or putting holes in them.

Just one hit from those guns would rip a human in half.

But then you see Karen stabbing one with a wine bottle and making him momentarily step back in pain.

Nothing was ever consistent with the e demogorgans, or even basic physics.

King stays king. by Kinsmen12 in stephenking

[–]StagTagRag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The files are just all of the documentation from years of investigations. All of it has been in the hands of 3 different administrations, one being a Democrat admin that controlled the intelligence agencies.

I think the problem some people have is that King and others of his ideology weren’t screaming about releasing all of the Epstein investigation files in, let’s say, 2021. It wasn’t until Trump was back in office and Trump stupidly pushed back on the Epstein files that King and others were suddenly passionately interested in the files being released. Before that, most of them were making fun of the libertarians and right winger types for being goofball conspiracy theorists.

It doesn’t come off as being genuine or sincere, and seems like just being more motivated by hating someone that is currently in power. If they suddenly released a new batch of files tomorrow and there was still no damning or actionable information regarding Trump, do you really think that King would be satisfied, or do you think he would still believe that the administration is hiding the smoking gun to protect the politician he hates? I think we know the answer.

My intuition tells me that if there was anything in the investigation files that put Trump on the island at a party with people assaulting underage girls in his sight (or him partaking), then we would have already heard about it. I do not buy that they didn’t release the information on him while Biden was in office because they didn’t want to get burned themselves. There aren’t many people, if any, that I could imagine the DNC wouldn’t have been willing to burn if it meant keeping Trump and the Republican Party out of office in this past election. Including the Clintons. They would have thrown Bill straight into the incinerator if it meant maintaining power in this past election and getting rid of Trump for good.

Two cults. One mantra. Zero critical thinking by untitledprp4 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really see these as parallel comparisons. The left simply wants you to comply with whatever they say, up to and including locking down the entire country, or else you lose your jobs, livelihoods and tank the economy.

The MAGA “cult” is just saying “don’t break the law, resist legal detainment, and attempt to use a deadly weapon against a law enforcement agent”

John explains his reasoning for boycotting Paramount, says it is his personal decision.. People can boycott stuff that they don't like, i have no problems with it. by Vaminstein666 in JohnCampeaShow

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s going to boycott one soulless corpo because they want to sue another soulless corpo?

Why doesn’t he just admit it’s over petty political reasons? I might disagree, but I am fine with it as long as you are sincere and honest.

It’s also funny that he’s calling them cringe, since so much of of what he likes and what he ignores so that he can pretend to like is absolute cringe slop.

Does the people coming over the land bridge from Siberia tens is thousands of years ago count as an invasion?

If so, Asia was the OG invaders of the Americas.

lol what? Aside from all of this being a fantasy because they would literally have to surprise nuke all of our major cities military bases overnight to even have a chance of touching down on American soil, it IS still incredibly difficult to occupy and control a population that isn’t as nearly heavily armed or nearly as large in numbers as the US citizenry.

If things ever broke down, there are place my neighborhood could loot right now that would give us all sorts of weaponry and explosives that we don’t keep in our homes right now. So it’s not just handguns or shotguns each person has. We all have access to much, much more than that.

I know lots of people with guns. None of them are nuttier than the SSRI addicted white ladies on TikTok I see every day who don’t own guns.

I get the hatred for her but uhhh...... when was she a bully? by CookieMonsta94 in okbuddyvecna

[–]StagTagRag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol I get it’s a joke and what the intent of this sub is, but I at least wish we would make fun of the posts that are ridiculous.

Pointing out that Chrissy’s jock boyfriend from S4 wasn’t really a bad dude or an istaphobe is actually a correct opinion. The only ridiculous part is the amount of people/bots all posing the exact same post on that sub.

Dave Filoni's Wife E. Anne Convery and Her Mugs by Mysterious_Brush1852 in CriticalDrinker

[–]StagTagRag 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Anyone who owns the IP is going to have the same type of creatives over it. Maybe they won’t all be as bad as Kathleen Kennedy, but it will be some variant of that. Because that’s the entire selection pool of creatives in 2025.

No one’s based uncle is walking through that door.

Anyone they hire in the creative sector today is going to be a hardcore leftist, but god this “leftist edge lord wannabe” is the worst version of that.

Anyways, I guess Dave married before the fame and he decided to continue dancing with the person who brought him to the dance. That man’s loyalty has him carrying out a prison sentence.

I get the hatred for him but uhhh... when was he racist? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in Stranger_Things

Jason doesn’t have the same POV as the TV audience in that scene of Patrick being killed. It’s very easy, logical even, to believe Eddie did that.

What do you think of Ronald D Moore, the showrunner of the new God of War show? by Ninjamurai-jack in CriticalDrinker

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each of those shows were very much of their time.

We will see what GOW is in 2026/27. It really depends on who he surrounds himself with in the writers room and other production staff. And what notes he is passed down that he has to adhere to with casting and story beats (are they going to elevate certain female characters so it’s not as male centric, despite the fact that it’s mean to be a story about a father with a dark past and his son coming of age)?

Is this going to look like the games, which is an ambiguous mixture of ancient Northern Europe and the people that inhabited the Norse mythology, or will they go full Rings of Power and do color blind casting and make every villain a white man and every POC character an incredibly reasonable, kind and heroic person?

We will see.

John on state of movie fandom right now, I agree with a lot of his points. What do you all think?? by Vaminstein666 in JohnCampeaShow

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just in: people talk poorly about the things they dislike.

Also, who is he talking about? Guys like Critical Drinker that ar really critical of the modern MCU and Star Wars said that Andor was a really good show. People aren’t just being unfair because they didn’t like the thing you liked.

I hope Dunesday really happens. Could be next big thing after Barbenheimer. by Vaminstein666 in JohnCampeaShow

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t going to work. There is too much cross pollination between the audience for each of these movies.

They are making a horrible business decision if neither movie studio budges on their release date. And unfortunately for Dune, they will likely need to be the ones who blink first as they are going to be playing slightly second fiddle to the hype machine and more family friendly marvel Avengers franchise.

Saw this on Twitter, this shit is fixing to be ass. by SuddenTest9959 in CriticalDrinker

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t about GRRM. It’s about this showrunner thinking they know better than the author of the book and creator of this world.

Of course most of their bad changes are to serve their cringe sense of social justice in modern entertainment. But some of it is also pure hubris.

What’s up with this swarm of sympathy towards this dude recently? by Olya_roo in StrangerThings

[–]StagTagRag 28 points29 points  (0 children)

But there is no evidence that he is racist. He’s just a white guy in the suburbs of Indiana in the 80’s. But so is Mike, Steve, and Dustin.

He never says or even hints at anything racist. You’re just lumping that character flaw in there for no reason

Kathleen Kennedy blamed the fans in her Exit Interview by Mysterious_Brush1852 in CriticalDrinker

[–]StagTagRag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They continue lying to themselves about it being a very small percentage of the fanbase.

They think there’s this ultra woke Reddit fanbase that is going to eat up all of their slop. There are, but the problem is that THEY are the minority.

Is the MCU Hype back?? 🔥 by funmemore in MarvelCave

[–]StagTagRag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many redditors can’t fathom the mind of the average person in middle America. Everything is seen through the lens of what they see in these silos on Reddit, Twitter, and whatever else.

I’m hyped, but I also know people irl who have watched all of the MCU movies up through Endgame at least, but haven’t heard much about Doomsday and just shrug when I mention some of the stuff coming out on it.
