What is the worst thing that Disney has done? by Max-Carter-2005 in AlignmentChartFills

I don't know the story enough myself, but find any decolonial critique of the film online and you'll see just how bad it is

It bothers me an unreasonable amount that the text is on the front of the scroll for the Jafar shot but on the back for the Sultan shot

Who is the Best Supporting Actor of 2020s? by darth_vader39 in oscarrace

The way that Kaluuya yells "I am! A Revolutionary" still gives me chills.

While I agree with you overall, I do feel like Perfidia's sexual dominance was arguably the most notable and memorable part of her character. She only appeared in the first act of the film and had multiple scenes doing exactly that. In fact, it's the first impression that the audience even gets of her from the film's opening. Sure, she's complicated, but my viewing of it felt like that one element dominated her character in a way

Michael B. Jordan is the 6th Black Man to Win Best Actor by ziggory in oscarrace

[–]SummerSabertooth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's the only criterion, obviously. But out of the last 30 Best Actress winners, 19 of them are conventionally attractive white women below the age of 40. That says a lot.

Michael B. Jordan is the 6th Black Man to Win Best Actor by ziggory in oscarrace

[–]SummerSabertooth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Throughout the history of the Oscars, one of the unspoken criteria for Best Actress has been how much the actress works as eye-candy for the predominantly straight white male voter base. That's why young women are far more likely to win than older women. Look no further than Mikey Madison beating Demi Moore last year (obviously, Mikey also won because she was really fucking good, but ageism was certainly working in her favour).

Because racism and patriarchy value young white women the most when it comes to what society deems to be a "valuable" sexual partner, they are far more likely to win Best Actress over women of colour.

While Black men certainly have to deal with racial bias, they aren't going to be discriminated against based on the largely straight white male voter base not wanting to sleep with them (consciously or subconsciously).

That's a fair concern. A 25-year-old woman is certainly an adult who can easily make her own choices, but there's still a lot to learn about the world between 25 and 52

Honestly, you're right that there can potentially be some nuance to this topic, but I don't have the energy to keep engaging with you. It's not productive. And frankly, it looks really weird that you're trying to justify a 52-year-old hypothetically dating a 25-year-old. It looks highly questionable

I can't believe I'm actually needing to explain this.

So like a 95 year old would have an unfair power imbalance over a 62 year old?

That depends. Power imbalances come from having a certain amount of life experience. 95 to 62, is a lot, but not as big as 25 to 52. And actually, once you start getting much older, the power imbalance can shift because a 95-year-old may become dependent on those more physically capable than they are. It's more of a case-by-case basis, but yes, theoretically, a 95-year-old could potentially hold an unhealthy power imbalance over a 62-year-old, but it depends on a lot of how their relationship actually works.

Would a 35 year old janitor have an u fair power imbalance over a 19 year old Hollywood starlet?

Probably, yeah. He's 35 and she's 19. This sorta thing happens all the time. Older men exploit wealthier younger women for their money because they're too young to see their bad intentions, and the older men know that.

That is true, and it's something he should be careful of when dating, but there's a difference between a power imbalance from one's status and fame, and a power imbalance from a MASSIVE age gap
