The beauty of threads like this is watching ree pretend they're good people.

Then you see the shit they were posting during the witch hunt

Yeah the fact that she has been using the movie as a vehicle for her hair products...

Always knew there was something off about Plantation Barbie. Ryan is either complacent or willfully ignorant about her.

Plantation Barbie.

Some classic victim blaming -

It's not that.

The issue is that Justin wanted the more raw message on DV. But Blake and company disagreed.

But it seems he's being freezed out by the cast, which could hurt his professional reputation. Remember, this is an industry known for shunning and blacklisting. And Blake and her husband are very influential.

It's a fucking mess but at this stage, it seems Baldoni is mostly faultless here and he's being big time'd.

Oh man having Ryan who probably has a lot of pull definitely makes it sounds like control freak issue. Perhaps a superiorty complex where using Ryan's influence made Blake feel like she should have more control?

No one does passive aggressiveness like rich white women.

That's just the 1st page. These are not chuds. Not incels. Not women hating basement dwellers. These are far left progressive feminist allies on the right side of history.

Festivus is *generously* early. I was almost thr 13th person to break the scoop on fetishesoftheabyss's latest banger holy fuck. Seasonal depression just got smothered in its white-adjacent crib , colonizers.

i haven't felt this vindicated in a long time. Can't wait to show the wife. She was calling out Blake nonstop from all the stupid TikTok's about her she was watching

Good idea. 

This dude has not banged his wife in 6 years minimum.

Funny enough, they bring this up in the article. I think the PR firm worked with Johnny Depp. They even bring up the same celebrity interviewer who was "offended" by Blake Lively's reaction did something similar in the Depp/Heard thing.

Yup, it's a good overall lesson than anything in Hollywood that gets contentious becomes a battle of PR companies.

All these actors are multi-million dollars businesses onto themselves these days, so the actors themselves and those around them will hire companies like crazy to protect their reputation, deflect and defend.

It's especially notable when someone doesn't hire a PR firm to try and go on the offensive - take Angelina Jolie's response to Brad Pitt being an overall piece of shit, he's had a PR team going for him the whole time, if not multiple.

“Don’t take sides in celebrities hissy fights… let me take side with Angelina Jolie as an example.”  

I bet you that both Amber Heard and Johnny Deep had PR firms battling behind scenes. Amber Heard team probably just decided to say the quiet part loud because she imploded herself in the live trial, not because she didn’t use them. I bet Jolie and Pitt are the same but don’t want to go full nuclear like Deep and Amber Heard.

In fairness, a lot of people with an audience are getting away with literal murder lately.

Popularity is immunity.

Mention one that is not Trump (not that he was accused for it to begin with).

Being gay isn't about sex the same way being straight isn't inherently sexual.

Hinting at someone being queer but never paying it off is garbage queerbaiting.

We wouldn't need to headcannon queer characters if there were more openly queer ones.

Edit: I was a bit mean so I edited it.

You were not the only person being unnecessarily hostile in this thread and with my current fragile mental state it's disgusting to see such a personal vitriolic reaction (yes I saw your original post and the other person's too before they edited) to my own personal feelings on this topic.

I'm shocked as I was led to believe this forum was a safe space for LGBQTI+ people, but clearly it isn't and I really am shocked at being dogpiled in this thread because you don't have the same thoughts as me.

Surely you could just politely disagree with me and move on?

I'm hyperventilating as I type this. Not feeling very safe right now.

Who cares about Depp's PR team? Who's the one in his team who said "alright, let's go on the public record"? That was the masterstroke rather than pushing gossip and the media. These people are obsessed with all these culture wars and they still don't understand how Depp turned his image completely around. They still think it was some brainwashing thing with Russian bots and algorithms when the greatest PR move of all was the trial itself.

The damning thing is less about being good or bad. It’s how gormless and gullible they are. Their self identity is so fragile a PR team can mold them into bots to disseminate the message of whomever is paying. In seconds they’d believe there were five lights.

I mean, Gul Madred was offering the dignified life we all deserve: 

MADRED: Or you can live in comfort, with good food and warm clothing... women as you desire them... allowed to pursue your studies of philosophy and history. 
...
It's up to you. A life of ease...of reflection and intellectual challenge...

Picard just had to show some basic human decency and affirm there were five lights.

Fellas, is it gay to love your son/father/grandfather? Is it straight to love your daughter/mother/grandmother?

Wait, fuck, how is it queerbaiting if being gay isn't about sex?

What would be a situation where you wouldn't "need" to "headcannon" preferred characters over existing ones?

[Potato]

SOMEONE has to be killing all those people in the trans genocide. THEY'RE clearly getting away with murder.

[HaughtyFrank]

queer bating (I believe that's the term, I apologize if not correct) is extremely annoying even as a straight man, so I imagine it must be maddening if you are actually queer.

I was screaming at Arcane season 1 with all the Vi / Cait teases, thankfully they made good on it in season 2 but I was hesitant there for a bit.

These people have zero media literacy if they think Cait and Vi was queer baiting in season 1.  A perfect example of why people like these should never ever be on a writing team

So why we got them asexuals then?

How fucking bloodthirsty they are because dumb internet celebrities do stupid shit… but the dude that killed someone in cold blood is a saint that doesn’t deserve his terrorism charges.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

That was as polite as I was willing to be. The idea that we need to have less Queer characters just because you want to have headcannons of queer characters instead is silly and backward to me.

That being said, I hope you take some time off the internet.

Kinda mean tbh.

SSSS.GRIDMɅN

That is actually a really good example.

features a heavy amount of Les Yay and Ship Tease between Akane and Rikka, with the marketing especially leaning into it (such as this official artwork of them in bridal dresses).

That is a huge scumbag move…

Yeah...



Although it speaks volumes on ERA, that he was 80% close to roleplaying them. Had me in the first half.

The trans loonies are all in on banabandanna now

[Boredfrom]

Of course, it should be noted that this doesn’t necessarily mean that they wanted a queer audience… but people that get off on lesbians. Honest to honest queer positive anime that is not porn is rare and not that popular (stuff like Witch of Mercury are exceptions and still forced to hide it).

Let the dog piling begin.

Post was too obvious. No real good faith LGBTQ+ person would think ResetERA.com is a safe space instead of fleeing in droves. Especially from the relentless transphobia by staff.

Their socials were discovered. They are into some weird age regression stuff.
