B-b-but apartheid state, colonialism, dead palestinians..!

OSAMA BIN LADEN WARNED US ABOUT THIS (EVEN IF SOME OF HIS COMMENTS WERE ICKY)

That's bullshit. Free her.

They already freed her from her role.

Also, to go a bit more granular, horror fans (like myself) have minds like steel traps, generally land on the right side of political and social issues and hold grudges.

we have to constantly be remembering that our words have meanings we might not intend and strive to try and be aware of all that because bigots will use those mistakes we make to hide in.

These psychopaths want people fired for dog whistles, either perceived or real, all the time but this one is a step to far?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Has anyone checked her twitter likes yet?

Far right types are more ideologically consistent with the Jews run Hollywood thing. They’ll blame the Jews for why the Scream series went from starring white people to a diverse group led by a latinx afab. Or really any instance of non-whites and gays on screen being some Jew trick to attack white heteronormativity.

When the far left whine about it, they’re assuming all of that was an accident? And now consequencing some actress is the first time Je…Zionists are exerting control over media?

Anyway, once upon a time Spielberg fired Megan Fox from Transformers 3 for calling Michael Bay “Hitler” and her career sort of got back on track. She voiced a character in the new Mortal Kombat game.

Not sure if the last part is sarcasm but unfortunately like most things, they'll just pretend it never happened and all of Hollywood will move on.

They won't get shuddered, no, but I guarantee you that "that time Spyglass tanked the Scream franchise by firing their lead actress and denying genocide" is going to stick in a lot of people's minds for a long, long time. This isn't your run of the mill PR blunder, this shit will stick.

Also, to go a bit more granular, horror fans (like myself) have minds like steel traps, generally land on the right side of political and social issues and hold grudges. Scream's not only beloved by those of us born and raised in the 90s and early 2000s anymore, it's a gen Z cornerstone too. This is going down in the fuck-up history books.

"Spyglass just shot themselves in the foot."

The Scream franchise will be just fine.

People making/supporting pro-Palestinian statements are getting censored, rebuked, and fired everywhere.

What else is new.

You just had to tell the lady to bake the FUCKING gay cake, huh? Just had to push canceling on twitter, huh?

IT'S ALL RESETERAS FAULT! THEY CREATED THIS CULTURE! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS SHOP AT ANOTHER STORE!   

Make your own Hollywood now. 

If there's one cliche about the Jews that isn't a conspiracy theory, it's that they run Hollywood.

How the fuck did these idiots not understand that and the potential consequences of their speech?

NepNep in tankie land:

I am under the assumption that not everyone here posting is a socialist, especially so if they're getting deep into Internet arguments about voting for Democrats as if any of this shit means anything lol. My bad!


Your individual vote doesn't matter because there has and statistically likely never will be any election in American history decided by a single person. But the idea of not voting for Democrats isn't inherently a bid to boost the power of third-party leftist candidates, because that is also statistically likely not to happen due to the reality of our system; it's instead to force a referendum on the Democrats in the hopes that they understand that the neoliberal swill they've been pushing for decades is not satisfactory anymore to loyal contingents of their party, and it's either they change to suit our needs or suffer the consequences. (Ironically, I also lack the imagination to see a future in which Democrats lose an election somehow due to hard leftist and ethnic minorities and not, you know, white centrists being white centrists and breaking for Trump like they did in 2016- never forget that that's the demographic that brought us to this point- that they will realize that they need to actually shore up some leftist principles and abide by them instead of falling back on "we talked about idpol too much!")


Which is why I always say that they are incapable of solving systemic issues, which raises the question of what is the point in me voting for them if they're not going to address the shit that's killing us all? 🤷🏿‍♀️


Fair dues, but I don't think the analogy is accurate because triage is roughly about prioritizing what matters most and attacking that with most of your resources. Indigenous folks, Black folks, queer folks, and anyone caught living in the Global South and Middle East have been in the gutter to some degree since this country's founding no matter who is at the helm. If you're really about "triage," you need to be voting locally, occupying local seats of power, and establishing systems that fill in the gaps for the marginalized instead of making a big deal out of whether or not a Democrat is going to be in the President's seat every four years. Because the fact is, mathematically we cannot always ensure that a Republican will never win ever again. Bring this up to a liberal, and ask them for a contingency plan when a Republican inevitably gets the seat in the future, and it's fucking crickets. They're clueless and thus cannot help us. Meanwhile, you could be, like, supplexing Moms of LIberty nutbirds right now if they're trying to get on your school board councils, and that shit is actually helpful in and out of election season!

Good post, I don't think I have anything really to offer as addendum other than seconding that a (national) third party ticket is a forlorn hope (the duopolistic tendency of FPTP, the sheer cost of campaigning, the capture of funding, the capture of debate bodies and election regulation, etc etc etc), and that really the last coherent and effective voting strategy any of us have is to en masse vocally and explicitly threaten to tank a candidate who won't course-correct. But it takes really being willing to walk away and only being won back on their course-correction (and communicating it loudly enough to be heard, passivity disappears into the background noise), without one or the other it will be written off as automatic support or a lost cause. Not that folks need another reason among the thousands to never support Republicans, but there's one.

Naturally any kind of civic participation that is intent on bucking some sort of status quo is going to require both discipline of principles and action. It's going to require an education and an understanding of what exactly we want in our candidates, and then a firm consistency in not voting for anything less. Once again, that goes back to the root solution: organization of our communities. We need to overtly propagandize to people, establish both on and offline networks to keep people active and informed, and to fill in gaps where they're needed: getting people signed up to vote, organizing carpools, etc. It can be done; it'll just take some elbow grease.

Wrong

[Besticus Maximus]

Nepenthe, I'm sorry to say, has a demonstrable history of dismissing histories of histories of dismissal.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Wrong

Seriously. There literally have been - this is nonsense. Maybe not a presidential election, but even then, 2000 was decided by like hundreds of votes, right? In the grand scheme of things, that's pretty damn close to 1 vote.

Also, while using a service for work today, I saw that this website/business apparently exists: https://posthog.com/
@Benji why didn't you snatch that up when you had the chance?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I hope this will be an eye opener for liberals who mock "freeze peach" and think "cancel culture is just consequences culture". It's all well and good when the real power agrees with you, but when it doesn't...

.. my chud radar is going off. Seriously? "I told you so" vibes?

My favorite of these arguments is the "the laws preventing hate speech are super narrow and could never be abused!", then you look at them and they're totally subjective and open-ended. At least they got their hot takes in about the ACLU being Nazis or whatever.

[Polident]

Reading up about this. It isn’t just some actress nobody could name until this morning. Susan Sarandon (Thelma or Louise in Thelma and Louise) got dropped. But she’s a yt woman so she’s not important. At the same time, I’d like to note how no Muslim or middle eastern actors seemed to get consequenced. The powers that be likely saw a latinx actress and thought it’s weird to be so invested in a religious conflict she had no connection to. The Jew overlords are pretty gracious about not firing famous Arab actors like Cliff Curtis.

[malfoyking]

Its pretty shit that they fired her from Scream. She was quite great in it. Can't believe I might era something but I hope Scream 7 fails..........

[Besticus Maximus]

So after all the screeching and the wailing, the person who was right about what to do next in Gaza was...Keir Starmer 

[Snoopy]

I know the place is irrelevant but the drab cunts on Gaf love portraying themselves as the defenders of free speech so -

An actual mod 

One of the hosts of the popular horror YouTube channel “Dead Meat” is defending the actress and playing both sides, claiming that what is going on in Gaza is a genocide and that Israel is as much to blame.

I cancelled my patreon and unsubscribed. Suggest others do the same

Royalan actually thought Biden and Kamala opening threads accounts meant that X was over and would never be used again 😂

And they didn't just create Threads accounts. They've actually left Twitter.

Elon dun fucked up.

Biden posted about 6 tweets since this comment 😂

Kamala only posted 3 since then, she’s clearly winding down! Elon dun fucked up!!

Please stop using “Latinx”, or I’ll punch your dick off.

Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer and Noah Schnapp out there endorsing the extermination of Palestinians, Timothée Chalamet and SNL are turning it all into a joke, Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino are literally PRing to create real life inglorious basterds, yet none of them suffer any consequences, not even an article in a newspaper that goes off on them (with the exception of Schumer iirc). Barrera on the other hand gets dropped as if she actually dons the mask and goes on on a killing spree with a slasher smile on her face. Insanity.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/melissa-barrera-dropped-from-%E2%80%98scream-vii%E2%80%99-after-social-media-posts-amid-israel-hamas-conflict.787563/post-115272249

Ah, so the problem isn't companies firing people for their opinions, but companies firing the wrong people, got it.
And the insanity of still claiming that SNL mocked Palestine

[kaleidoscopium]

They want more cancel culture but only for the people they hate. Antisemites are A OK in their book now. Kanye the new spokesman for resetera.

[Polident]

wait, I support Amy Schumer losing jobs. From the river…

Sarah Silverman is on thin ice. At least she has the opening scene of Way of the Gun.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

what did my queens do now?

[Snoopy]

Schumer looks like Clay Davis’s illegitimate daughter.

she just lost the majority of her lawsuit against Facebook/AI too

Yeah people.  Get on it and start the work!  Nepenthe will be by with her clipboard to ensure the work is proceeding in an efficient and productive manner.  She carries with her the biggest burden.

Barrera is going to be okay if she is smart about it (the smart thing would be not giving a fuck about a having a hot take in this conflict, but hey).
But is pretty batshit insane that they think Mel Gibson has a career.
BTW, Why the fuck Nepenthe is omitting Mel’s antisemitism?

Like Osama, Gibson wasn't totally wong
