Watching from the outside gives incomplete pictures. From here I get snapshots, out of focus, muddled, lost to the noise.
Questions unanswered from the lack of detail, I can only ever wonder.
Analysis without evidence is at best “hope” (delusion); at its worst torture.
I don’t think we were toxic. I think we were deficient. I think we forgot that love takes work. It takes choosing each other and being honest.
It’s not that we weren’t right, it’s that we weren’t right then.
If you’re sad and I’m sad, why are we doing this? I can think of something we could probably try. And with 9 years of history it’s pretty clear that on some level it does work.
You can be offended by something and have that thing be, in most people eyes, inoffensive. You’re not being gaslight, your feelings are valid but intent also does matter. Because nothing happens in a vacuum.
I wish we had never learned the term gas lighting. None of yall use it correctly or even understand the meaning.
Therapy speak will be the death of us. That and the fact that we have stopped investing in education, which has lead to people turning their feelings into facts
This BAFTA thing has also highlighted that we as people feel entitled to answers on our terms. Maybe he did apologize, but we didn’t hear about it cause everyone is out here shouting the same bad faith arguments or trying to talk sense into folks who just want to be right
Calling Black men the n-word is racism. If John has coprolalia and can’t control the slurs he says, he should watch from a separate area, not in the main audience where Black people are exposed to slurs
@txniexh@PopBase More involuntary than your ignorance. See that’s a choice. He has a disability. It was gross behavior but like read a book or at least get the basics understanding of the disorder or just stay silent.
Hope that helps
Naw, our reaction to this and our attitude is what is “setting back” the progress. Like he fucked up and he’s somehow ruined progress? For an entire community?! We get upset when they assume we are all thugs or judge us based on one Black person but yea no let’s go ahead and
You’ve should’ve stopped at “Tourette’s is uncontrollable”. Your opinion here isn’t necessary and “to me” you sound extremely ignorant and ableist.
We don’t need your poorly researched takes tonight. Being silent is an option.
Idk why Black folks are out here just being ableist, but a large portion of our community is watching and taking notes.
Also like being silent was an option, as opposed to just complete ignorance and a lack of critical thinking.
was at the BAFTA Awards (Im here rn actually). John Davidson had been involuntary ticking before the show started, and throughout. All guests were made aware before the show started and throughout why.
I actually think the film “I swear” depicts and educates on this perfectly.
