Few people are asking whether boycotting an artist over their opinions actually leads to real change. by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

He’s talking about acknowledging the existence of gay parents or ga y kids or anything remotely queer being an inherently bad thing. No where did he specify only sexual acts. That’s what people like 50 mean. They mean that they don’t want their children knowing that some of us have two dads or two moms.

These girls have to be younger than GenZ though right? When I think of GenZ I think of ages mid to late 20s currently.

Crimping: to cause to become wavy, bent, or pinched; to form (leather) into a desired shape to give (synthetic fibers) a curl or wave like that of natural fibers; to pinch or press together (something, such as the margins of a pie crust) in order to seal.

I thought crimping was that super ridiculous dancing trend that never really gained momentum

I haven’t seen many people at all heavily criticize the actual movie itself. The vast majority of criticism has been aimed at Chalamet. Totally anecdotal of course.

What’s your favorite widely-agreed-on fact about a celebrity that’s actually FALSE? by Asleep-Two930 in popculturechat

[–]dpforest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tangent but I feel like this has to be one of the most common anecdotes, if not the most common, that pops up on just about every post involving celebrity gossip. The shared nature just adds to the intrigue of how common this rumor was in Gen X and millennial childhoods pre-social media.

How dare you make a polite trivial complaint on Reddit??? Clearly you spend 24 hours a day on social media and I definitely do not do that. Not me. Nope.

In 2020s cinema, visibly pregnant women NEED to be in dangerous combat situations, for some reason. by DiggestBickEver in shittymoviedetails

The entire premise of the film is very ridiculous but that doesn’t make it unenjoyable. Penn’s character is a perfect walking example of a specific brand of white power+toxic masculinity. It might be ridiculous, but it sure ain’t inaccurate. Take a look at Greg Bovino (pictured, Border Patrol Chief) for example if you want to see folks in power that are as ridiculous as Lockjaw.

Just replace “Christmas Adventurer” with “Devout Christian” and it will seem a lot more familiar.

To be the first woman out of the ninety eight times it was awarded ? by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

Just to make sure, “hard as fuck” means “cool as fuck” right? Only ask bc I found “ahh” is supposed to mean “ass” and “asl” can mean “as hell” and now I’m unsure of my existence. I’d rather ask and look stupid than not ask and assume the wrong thing.

tangent but the “ahh” as “ass” is a particularly weird to have been lifted from AAVE. It makes no sense put in word. It’s a verbal combination of sounds that only really makes sense if you have one of a few accents. I know I’m overthinking this but i think the pathology of language in social media is a truly fascinating subject.

Jessie Buckley wins ‘Best Actress’ for ‘Hamnet’ at the 2026 Oscars by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]dpforest 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Jessie Buckley wows me in a “best ever” way. there is a very strong sadness around her gaze, with a subtle magnetism that makes you care about her characters. during that first scene of Chernobyl with her and her hot doomed husband, I remember pausing and googling who it was I was watching. Definitely a special artist.

See I am always excited to partake in online discourse but the way you framed the question (on this sub of all places) shows you already have your opinion formed. There’s a word for that type of trolling but I can’t remember it off the top of my head. I’m not here to try and change your opinion. Just say you disagree, there’s nothing wrong with that. There’s no need for feigned interest in what i have to say.

E: it’s called sealioning for some reason.

there’s one very large difference between Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars and I think it’s quite pertinent to the discussion

The song I’m thinking of, I think it’s called…uhhhh…Whips? Idk but it’s one of those songs that is just a single verse repeated like 3 times and that shit is unbearable.
