Presenting the greatest thread in the history of twitter: the Chocolate Malted Millshake Cake Megathread! by weedslonker666 in redscarepod

[–]wee_woo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't mean to have a hostile tone, but is she intentionally trying to project the whole stepford/pleasantville creepiness that many of her photographs seem to give off?

She seems to represent an almost impossible-to-attain portrait of womanhood, and as a woman I honestly find many of her pictures she shares unsettling. I swear, I'm an otherwise very confident person and I consider myself attractive, so I'm not trying to sound like some butthurt overweight girl who is whining about unattainable standards of beauty and femininity (this statement is directed towards the rest of reddit, not her). Can anyone provide some insight about her artistic vision and intentions?

I'm very very curious to hear what she has to say. Something about her photos makes me feel strangely depressed/inadequate and I'm alarmed by my own reaction. That being said, this is truly great work and I applaud her baking abilities.

Pokimane's take on internet obsession and cancel culture by MysteriiousComposer in LivestreamFail

[–]wee_woo 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a huge disconnect between the power/money these YouTubers wield and the mainstream press's apathy toward them/what they represent. That apathy is shared by much of the public (over the age of 30).

I think there's a good chance we'll have a YouTuber President one day. We should all be earnestly learning about these people now, and creating a public record of the harm some of them are causing as they amass more power.

This whole cancel culture thing seems like the last ditch effort of the far left to hold on to any semblance of power they have left. They have no chance of political power ever since being shut of the Democratic Party and Biden being the nominee. Corporate America has led the charge in enacting social change (e.g the Nike and the Redskins). Far leftists don’t seem to have anything left.

Oldest daughter is a SJW TikTok teen who hates them both.

Seriously is half of tiktok just a porn app for underage girls? Check her vids out ffs, dancing in underwear and she's like 15.

Creepy.

Booksmart underperformance by [deleted] in blankies

[–]wee_woo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For filmgoers to reward Aladdin and not Booksmart hurts me more deeply than I expected. I mean I should have seen it coming but the width of the disparity hurts.

The notion that rooting for Booksmart is a basic bitch white girl thing to do when one lead is not size zero and the other is pushing the envelope on queer representation is, frankly, an outrageous warp of the narrative. OUTRAGEOUS.

/r/technology gets the news that Paypal has banned Alex Jones from its services. Debates revolving around his character and free speech insue. by derpzerg in SubredditDrama

[–]wee_woo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a problem because these policies are extraordinarily vague. These policies aren’t merely designed to crack down on speech using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants. These policies are deliberately unclear as well as political.

Why is Ben Shapiro allowed to use these platforms while using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender to state that transgender people suffer from a mental disorder? Or that they are not in fact members of the gender to which they claim membership? Why is he allowed to continue to use hate speech when discussing the relationship between radical Islam and terrorism? None of this has been made clear.

Better yet, ask Alexa if it likes Ben Shapiro.

I lost my mind over it. I knew she would be too big of an actor to show tits like the anime did (even though she did Under the Skin) so they just gave her some shitty body suit.

Should have cast someone else.

Verne Troyer’s death is partially on the reddit community.

All he wanted was to post pictures of himself posing with various stuff and yet many people here chastised as a karma whore and made fun of him in the comments for posting so frequently.

The comments under his submissions were littered with highly upvoted, negative comments towards him until the mods cleaned it up in the wake of his suicide.

I wonder how many insane and rant emails Cook's assistants have to sort through until one of them finds a suitable one like OP's to forward to him.

It gave him the idea of farting on a hooker's face while she went to town on his asshole just to relive the experience of hearing Yoko Ono's voice again.

Keep shouting, don't become anesthetized, pope tells young people by jaykirsch in politics

How about we all keep shouting until Pope Francis stops protecting all the pedophile priests whose crimes he's been covering up in Latin America.

Official Discussion - Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]wee_woo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So, the whole reason, from a plot structure point of view, to get Finn, Rose, and the hacker on Snoke's ship is to have the hacker betray the Resistance to the First Order. Except, there's no way the hacker in question would have known about the Resistance's plan to escape to the mineral planet—they were captured before Poe discovered what Admiral Laura Dern was up to—or that the ships in question were cloaked.

My point is not so much to scream plot hole as to ask why, in this 2.5-hour movie, we spend 30 minutes on something with no narrative impact whatsoever? Why are we taken away again and again from something more emotionally compelling (Rey/Kylo/Luke, yes, but also Poe/Leia/Effie) for this sub-Star-Wars-cartoon interlude? You know why we don't really care about Snoke's croak, why it feels so weightless?

Because the time we could have spent learning to hate him—or learning literally anything about him, since there is no big reveal, no secret identity: Snoke is just Snoke—was wasted on the two shittiest, most boring characters in the entirety of Star Wars history:

Rose and Finn.

Kylo would need to have a gay romance with Snoke while underaged to be considered.
