  • It never rains but it pours. Amazon's long-awaited teaser for Rings of Power Season 2 finally released, and got promptly destroyed. Doctor Who released some of the worst episodes of TV ever created, and nobody celebrated the announcement that Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider show has been officially greenlit. Join me, MauLer, Gary, Shadiversity, Ryan Kinel and Despot of Antrim at the Open Bar.

      Its been skyrocketing since '08. Though US debt dosen't matter as much as for other nations due to the USD being world reserves currency + alternative is austerity and look at how that went for Europe(Italy, Spain, France, UK have a equal or smaller GDP than before the '08 crash).
      Crazy that the US government can just borrow so much money. 124% debt to GDP ratio and yet the gov dosen't seem to want to attempt to do something about it.

    In his now infamous quote, Russell T Davies said, quote "Time and society and culture and taste has moved on, and there's a problem with the Davros of old in that he's a wheelchair user who's evil. And I had problems with that, and a lot of us on the production team had problems with that, of associating disability with evil, and trust me, there's a very long tradition of this." After which he proceeded to remove one of the disabled communities best villains in the name of representation. Hilarious.
    Now, applying his own logic to his own work we have the Maestro, a trans non-binary character. Again, applying his own logic, that is, we cannot represent a villain as being disabled because people will then associate disability with evil, it stands to reason that Russell must not only be happy to represent trans and non-binary people as evil, but actively encourages it by omission of other groups on the grounds that he doesn't want to represent them that way.
    It's the truly perfect example of letting your morals and beliefs be dictated by what you think others think is right rather than what you think is right. Any group should be able to be represented as both villains and heroes. By "sparing" the disabled community the "indignity" of awesome villain characters he's necessarily said that identifying trans and non-binary with evil is perfectly acceptable. Great job Russell, gotta love that cognitive dissonance for all to see.

      Psychology is fascinating. The people that scream that everything is racist and sexist are doing the most racist and sexist stuff. It goes to show RTD probably dislikes this side of himself and more likely pushes it out into the limelight to ‘find acceptance’ from others, rather than just accepting himself and making a normal show (I’m married to a therapist so I’m constantly having all this broken down for me lol)

    • @Korschtal
      @Korschtal Před 12 dny +2

      @@brickgarden The theory of intersectionality, which is the theoretical background for much of what we know as "Woke" ideology, says that racism (and by extension sexism) is only possible if you have power. Therefore, it's possible for a man to be sexist, but a woman can't, be sexist toward men
      Equally, a white person can be racist, in fact, to be white is to be racist, but a black person can't be racist to a white person because a Black person by definition has less power.
      In other words, as far as the Woke ideologues are concerned, they aren't being racist or sexist because it's impossible to be racist against white people and/or men.
      I know this is absurd, but it's the (very convenient) theory.

    Okay, on Drinker's point about Phoebie-whatsherbucket: Think of her as the "Silver Surfer" from the MCU. Yes, the Silver Surfer doesn't destroy worlds himself, but if you see him visiting a planet, you're going to avoid vacationing to that planet for the next little bit due to the knowledge that Galactus is going to eat that planet soon. As the panel pointed out, Hollywood had a perception of her as "next-big-shot-geek-and-feminist-writer/producer". Even if she didn't DIRECTLY contribute to that, she serves as a sign that the higher ups are going to prioritize DEI stuff in the plot and production, so actually... yeah, it IS deserved, just not because of her direct actions.

    Californication was about a guy, Hank Moody, who sleeps around constantly with women, but it was only the surface of the character, and it is made clear that it is part of his self-destructive behaviour. His behaviour is not portrayed as something positive that people should replicate; Hank is miserable and heartbroken. He is acting out in a childish manner, he screwed up his family and he hates himself for it.
    The show appears as decadent, but in actuality it has a conservative message.

So being an ornery b*st*rd I put a complaint into HR that they were no longer recognising the Pagan Eastre and were being discriminatory. In the complaint I said we the (actually non existent) Pagans would be happy with reinstallation under the Christian term to avoid confusion in spelling; that or they needed to no longer recognise the Hindu and Muslim days.

    Drinker, I can see what you’re trying to say about Ncuti Gatwa and casting a “cool, young” actor, or trying to make him “current,“ but I’d argue both David Tennant and Matt Smith were both cool and young/hip types of doctors. The difference is, their sexuality and gender wasn’t all that they were. You weren’t constantly reminded how they were straight and male like as if that was a personality trait. They had depth, gravitas, personality, and the emotional range. More importantly, while they were consistent in many ways, they were also quite different due to their experiences and the time in which they took place. Not to mention, the stories that they were involved in weren’t some thinly veiled commentary on the current day politics. There was certainly hints of that sprinkled around, and there were always bits of progressive ideas sprinkled in as well, but they were more like afterthoughts or accents rather than the main attraction.

    In regards to Clarkson's Farm. The "new farming" is standard stuff. My girlfriend is getting a PHD on plant science, she specifically works with animal feed and tests mixed crops with grass. All the soil testing and using crops like peas to get nitrogen into the soil (nitrogen fixing) is common practice in most places. My guess is that Charlie usually has that done behind the scenes and this was thier way of incorporating it into the show.

    I sometimes get the feeling that some companies deliberately sabotage their physical releases.
    Lucifer. DVD but no BluRay. So you only get HD on Streaming.
    Game of Thrones. Dothraki are not subtitled on the DVD unless you turn on the closed captions.
    Disney released Kim Possible Season 1 and 2 on DVD. But no 3 or 4.
    Sailor Moon HD Remaster. HD only Japanese Dub. German Dub is a separate video in the old SD quality.
    Whatever the hell that Buffy BluRay was.

    1:26:10 claiming things "aren't made for straight white men" is an outright lie. These films/series were made in America/Britain for (primarily) American/British viewers, and to a further extent the Western hemisphere. And as much as it pains leftists to admit, and they're doing everything in their power possible to change that now, the demographics of the Anglosphere are slanted to hetero Caucasians. So (until recently) they absolutely 100% were targeted towards straight white men and/or women. Now that isn't to say no other nationality or cultured person couldn't watch and enjoy them - provided their morality belief system is inline with our own, and cultural relativism has proved that isn't a given fact - because it was never exclusively white only entertainment, but they used to want to make a profit, and to do that they made it for their audience, which means it was most definitely white centred.
