i'm mad at everyone who made this psuedointellectual famous. this should just be an annoying person on drugs at a party. which is fine but holding her up like a philosopher is a societal failure
a lot of this is weirdly conservative, incel-adjacent. ultimately it's just hollow
@itgirlenergyism He’s already the face of Dior homme, they should get Lakeith (or one of the other 20 new ambassadors they signed to this brand in the last year) it’s 2026 for god sake
Conservatism was dying a slow death after the internet was made widely accessible. The rise of fascism is the extinction burst of right-wing ideology. The oligarchs had to astroturf a movement, spread mass propaganda, and coup governments to avoid the right's deserved decline.
[waking up in my five bedroom knightsbridge townhouse, brewing a nice pot of coffee, booting up my computer and tapping out today's column]: i want the world to be plunged into total war once more. i want food shortages and mechanised death. i want a bomb to fall on my head
she’s only pissing everyone off because we live in an appallingly juvenile milieu that is more accustomed to relentless positivity mandates and “stan culture” than reasonably adult critique. these people would melt like snowmen before pauline kael’s flamethrower.
the problem with “white” as a label is that it was become distinctly american as a political term lately. online, europeans are bombarded by posts about “white culture” which are completely foreign and contradictory to ours, and then we are expected to relate to it somehow.
Challengers didn’t broke even and The Drama is not critically acclaimed tho? Also this is still an argument why she’s a popular celebrity not a good actress
zendaya's movies are CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED and FINANCIALLY VIABLE. they are INTERESTING and actually leave imprints on culture and start conversations. zendaya's alone!! more than any other actress currently. them's the breaks. sorry, all will have to cope
@ritualesque@Skyfrom5to7 To be fair, from what I saw, the people that are ‘obsessed’ with this movie either don’t watch a lot of movies or are straight up actively hostile towards them ( also like a least 89% of them are men)
You see celebrities as morally superior people who need to embrace your values and beliefs because you need somebody to look up to but the reality is that money rules the world and you don’t know these people :-/.
"But my religion is *different*!" Cried every religious person ever, once challenged with the fundamental issues that plague religious belief and practice. Never mind the institutionalized power and control holding back women and feminist movements in every organized religion
‘Whiteness’ is a social construct, it has little to do with a skin colour. Slavic people DO consider themselves white. YOU didn’t consider us white till recently (also Irish & Italians). Being ignorant and having this attitude is crazy.Go learn your nazi history, little nazi
"The raped" is popular because of Sam Altman and Peter Thiel. As CIA, which controls the alt right, realized it can't contain the Epstein scandal, it rushed to turn rape into a meme as damage control. They are also currently working to normalize pedophilia as fast as possible.
Being anti art criticism=being anti art. Making your art personal can’t be a blackmail to stop negative responses to it. This entire genre of ‘artists’ weaponizing armies of mentally unstable people online to silence anything short of ass kissing…critics are not the villains
Halsey responds to Anthony Fantano saying that people cared more about his review of her last album ‘The Great Impersonator’ than the album itself:
“I’m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be. Everything you say is more “whiny” and “edgy” than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo.”
Obsession is a film with so much wrong with it that I haven't even got around to asking what on earth you guys are seeing in the female lead's CollegeHumor-esque performance
