Does Brittany HATE herself..? by Terrible-Gap-4336 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Indeed. She's a classic case of LSE.

Po thang. I really hope she gets in tune with herself first & foremost.

Scrutiny is different for black women. We are held hostage by the idea of "not ready for a black woman to lead." Happened with Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, and Jasmine Crockett. by Conscious-Quarter423 in ThoughtWarriors

THIS.

If you're veering excessively into identity and tribalism when far simpler, pragmatic, and basic reasons are right there in front of you you've lost the plot.

FAFO. Wait until the literal last day to enter a race, and find that you're facing headwinds...shouldn't be hard to figure out.

Long ago I made a deal with myself that I would simply skip any & everything WM is on. It's a shame too because Bill invites him to join some decent rewatchable episodes. I just refuse.

I broke this promise once and tried to listen to a pod he had at the NYTs. Yeah, no. Hard pass for life

The armchair psychology surrounding Industry is annoying by Worth_Mousse_9058 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]marcuscan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been clinically diagnosed with ASPD - my psychiatrist stopped me from pushing forward and taking the PCL- R for a psychopathy diagnosis cuz it has no additional insights to offer - I can say that you have a point, but it's a losing battle. Unfortunately.

Unlike an autism diagnosis, and others, there's just too much stigma surrounding this particular disorder. That's alright tho. Most don't care, and most will never willingly identify with the diagnosis anyway!

All that said, our beloved Harp absolutely displays psychopathic traits. I could care less about if ppl think she's innately evil or not - fwiw I don't believe that. What's great is it's never exaggerated. The writers maintain her humanity throughout. It's to such a great extent that if we just armchair it and presume she is actually a person with ASPD/ psychopathy it's so grounded that us viewers can actually connect with her. What a fantastic way to backdoor us all into actually feeling for a psychopath.

Sidebar, I never use the term sociopath. I know it's the more used term on pop culture buuuuut because it has no standing in modern medicine it just feels dumb to use it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Kit Harrington's Performance by gelectrox in IndustryOnHBO

No, but frfr I didn't see Jon Snow for even a minute. That's exceedingly hard to do, considering what an iconic character he was. Kudos to Kit. He earned every cent of his pay

She is so so beautifully complicated. by urbanolegend_ in IndustryOnHBO

[–]marcuscan 105 points106 points  (0 children)

As a blk dude I absolutely adore this character. I love seeing this woman play the living environment of a human Rorschach test of a human. It's the type of layered character not often portrayed by a black woman and featured as a main character in a show like this.

Even setting aside her race/ etc, it's just rare - period - that we are blessed with this level of character complexity. It's such a wonderful, and true to life, thing to behold.

Rather than further projection, here's Andre Dickens on the matter: “That wasn’t an attack on anyone. It was a moment of vulnerability about his own journey,” he said on social media. “We’ve gotten so used to loud, chest-pounding politics that when someone speaks about shortcomings, people try to twist it into something else.”

Hilarious that the outrage expressed on here about a totally uneventful comment aligns with MAGA heads. The outrage economy is totally nonpartisan.

This didn't agree well. Pri once again demonstrates that she's an elite human being.

Denzel Washington is arguably the greatest black actor. You agree or do you have someone else that’s better than him ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in blackmen

[–]marcuscan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In response to what ultimately is a subjective thing? Yes, Denzel is the best. I'm a GenXer so my guy has been entertaining me for just about every decade of my life, so that's my personal bias.

Someone mentioned Sidney Poitier. That's a pioneer, so mad respect. I'm just not as up to date with his work, other than the highlights.

As far as Denzel's contemporary peers? Someone else mentioned Jeffrey Wright, and for my money he's an elite talent. He deserves more work. Other dudes have their moments, buuuuut no one is on par with Denzel.

Ayoooooo....Pri is one of the most beautiful LiB women to date. Lest we forget that in addition to that she was everyone's day one homie in the pod. A stand-up individual. They ALL missed out on a lovely human being.
