@ttwink_letoes@dyedkeelingreen “Hurt my soul” I beg people to be normal here, a moderator made a joke that you may or may not have liked and the actor hammed it up when the moderator started talking about his eyes.
@ptmcgang This is literally why everyone complains about Pitt fans. Do you really think YOUR input was needed on a joke on this panel? Do you think it reflects well on the actor when all his fans spend all day outraged on his behalf about a ❄️joke that he hammed up?
@ptmcgang Part of being a well adjusted adult in the world is knowing when to roll with something and move on, exactly as the actor did. Also the vast majority of people watching that would chuckle, shrug, and move on. Folks just search for reasons to be aggrieved it’s unbelievable.
@ptmcgang It certainly doesn’t seem like the actor interpreted it as “a joke made at his expense”. Y’all need to relax, your reactions to a joke about doing ❄️in a break room is absurd. I know I’ll get flamed for this but idc you need to calm down.
@lavendertheys@kurinohinohi Right, they’re using it to justify the decisions they want to make narratively. So the energy spent on “ if they were really realistic, they would do XYZ instead” (which is what I originally replied to) is a bit silly. They’re not actually accountable to some arbitrary “realism”.
@lavendertheys@kurinohinohi Maybe it’s semantics? But imho you can’t act like they are supposed to follow some arbitrary “realism” rules to get the desired outcome for your preferred character. They don’t hold that above all. They decide the narrative and make the realism fit that. 🤷♀️
@kurinohinohi They didn’t say “samira is being written off bc it’s realistic that someone would have a vacation day that day” they said “not all the characters are sticking around bc it’s realistic that people rotate through an er”. You’re leaning too hard on their comments
@kurinohinohi Yeah, I think they decided they didn’t want to prioritize Samira’s storyline anymore and the format of the show means there is a pretty available explanation for the show narrative (day off, finished rotation, etc). It doesn’t mean they let “realism” drive the story narratives
This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
@zegljackets I’d say most of the flirting was not especially romantic, ex javadi w Mateo or Garcia asking santos was her sign is in the middle of a trauma. Robby with collins in s1 might be an exception there…
