Quote:I'll stop "whining" when Cameron stops making racist movies. So most likely never.
But yes, the movie will come out and be critically acclaimed and make a couple billion dollars, of course. No one actually cares about racism if you pick the right targets.

its ok when Disney erases black folx off their posters in china but james cameron is a racist we shouldn't support.
I feel like the new Avatar won't have enough people to pretend to be mad about something. They were finding evidence of bigotry from Linda Hamilton and Alien. That was a beautiful thread.

Oh, and then having one of the officers shooting a passenger of Titanic was more obvious racism. I can't wait for them to bring out the big liberal white guilt tears and pray for native americans.

You'd really think there weren't any bigger problems in the world with how they talk about this.

But, no, we have to make a bullshit excuse such as economic recession and push that narrative, and have other people think (hopefully no one on this forum thankfully) that it's true.

I've been thinking that people in the west have started gravitating toward thick thighs, big butts, chubby/flabby/"thicc" girls because to some extent you have to sexualize what you have access to, and so many people are fat now
subconsciously lowering your standards and telling yourself you actually like rolls of fat

Most of them didn't get past their first year of University because of social anxiety or not turning in assessment or something...

The dude rocking that avatar complaining about “maladjusted” humans.

People who earn their living by talking shit about video games online to a bunch of children are not well adjusted humans?

It's gotta be the right cheese. American "cheddar" is always the wrong cheese.

We lost something as a society when we stopped making media about nerdy or otherwise homely people cleaning up. Urkle turning into Stefan doesn’t happen anymore.

Quote:-Tyler1 paying his mother $70k to cook his food
That sounds like a cool thing to do to me actually? Sure, you can go all therapist about how he still eats food from his mom but he doesn't take her for granted and seems better than door dashing all his shit.
My favorite moment was when all those Twitch retards started drawing graphs on their streams, because they thought drawing a graph legitimized whatever dumb shit they were blatting about.

lol very much a  situation, but I thought it might provide context.
Nothing wrong with it of course (well, maybe legally speaking there is lol), there are plenty of businesses that do it and I’ve dealt with several over my career.
