@MarQuisD_Anon @inspiratium @rtenews I try not to comment on twitter but sometimes I see mind numbingly dumb statements like this. Asking to be safe is not the same as asking for a dictatorship you moron, get a grip on reality.
@CartoonsHateHer Second of all everyone, at any point, for whatever reason can leave a relationship if they're unhappy. There's no argument to this, it's fundamentally true and it's harmful to suggest otherwise.
@CartoonsHateHer I've been with my girlfriend for four years, we're both going to be 22 this year and I think this is the biggest load of crap I've ever read. First of all, no-one makes fun of women for being unmarried except for a minority of weirdos 1/2
@XanderXCIV @lkriit @dagansgera All the new star wars media has bad ass women. I actually always thought that Star Wars and Star Trek were super inclusive
@earlgreysyrup@LeviMcCachen@bobbiharlow@joblessthursday You but it's not going to be changing any minds on anything politically, even at a small scale. If I remember correctly the show was even anti-cop at points and pointed out corruption, discrimination and general flaws in the police system.
@earlgreysyrup@LeviMcCachen@bobbiharlow@joblessthursday I study English in university, I'm absolutely down with critically looking at media and how it reflects or comments on the world that we live in. But arguing BB99 has anything to offer in that respect is simply not true, if you found some commentary or effect there more power to
@earlgreysyrup@LeviMcCachen@bobbiharlow@joblessthursday Actions or a set of morales then I agree. I mean the idea that a show such as BB99 could even begin to effect your political views is false, if we were talking about Apocalypse Now or King Solomon's Mines I could see the argument for political dissection.
@earlgreysyrup@LeviMcCachen@bobbiharlow@joblessthursday Sure, at a rudimentary level stories have influenced world views since we started telling them. But to insinuate that people are actively looking for political affirmation when consuming media is bold and probably false. If the argument were pertaining to how view certain 1/2
@LeviMcCachen@joblessthursday Also, to your original point. That's simply not true, it sounds like you don't consume a lot of media (which is fine) but to make weird political claims about story structure and then to claim that you're not politically effected by films is a bit of a contradiction.
@LeviMcCachen@earlgreysyrup@bobbiharlow@joblessthursday Sounds like projection. Most people go to the movies to be entertained, they watch TV to be entertained, not to be introduced to complex ideas or be affirmed in their political beliefs.
@joblessthursday Also just looked into it for like two seconds and there's no way to tell that merch sales spiked. Everyone and their mother in Ireland has some sort of NYPD memorabilia, along with their "I <3 NY" shirt and the mini statue of liberty.
