people will ask why feminists and activists zero-in on criticizing female-led propaganda films even more so than male-led ones but all i can see is how much more insidious propaganda is when it specifically targets women

[that-butch-deactivated20200408]

this propaganda piggybacks on the “girl power” public image surrounding the vague cultural recognition of feminism. it packages a reinforcement of the imperial status quo as woke or progressive. despicable.

Hollywood’s ‘Captain Marvel’ Blockbuster Is Blatant US Military Propaganda

The Pentagon was deeply involved in the production of the hit film Captain Marvel, and is using the movie to spread recruitment propaganda.

Just made a video on this topic; tried to compile as many examples of it being used to propagandize as possible.

I somehow went off on a tangent about cigarette ads in my video about Captain Marvel.

(Also, a lot of this info was from Andi Zeisler’s “We Were Feminists Once” which is a great book that everyone should read.

Captain Marvel: Propaganda?

Lots of people on youtube.com are talking about how Captain Marvel is feminist, SJW, propaganda. It's not. It's military propaganda. Pop Culture Detective Vi...

I ended up falling down a research hole about Captain Marvel’s military advertising, and when I came out this video was here.

Big Joel patiently explains that video games and real life are two separate things. 

(This was from an excellent video Big Joel made reflecting on GamerGaters and their bizarre understanding of art and the world. It was interesting looking back at this with a few years of context since it all happened. Of course, horrible types are still very mad online, so they had the video flagged and removed. It’s mirrored here.)

MIRROR: Anita Sarkeesian and the People Who Hate Her | Big Joel

Carl Benjamin's free speech absolutist fans mass-flagged Big Joel's video, and had it taken down. Here's a mirror :)

So Big Joel made a video reflecting on GamerGate with a few years hindsight. It’s very interesting and thoughtful. 

It is also incredibly supportive of Anita Sarkeesian and was therefore mass flagged by jerks and taken down by YouTube.

So the video has been mirrored by several accounts. Please give it a watch if you’d like!

no more super hero. no more star war. get film back to its roots: a train coming at the camera and scaring me so so much

[misscherrylikesthediscourse]

I feel like in a way “serial killers are geniuses” is just part of police propaganda because it sounds way better than “we are fucking lazy and a lot of serial killers know that and target people who we don’t care about because of racism and classism”. 

[misscherrylikesthediscourse]

More often than not, the killers’ “genius” is far far FAR outweighed by police incompetence and indifference.

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

I always think of the green River killer who targeted sex workers cos he knew no one would care and he was basically correct. “I thought I could kill as many as I want and no one would notice” and they didn’t care til he started targeting non sex workers. That’s not genius that’s just society hating SWs yet again

[wodneswynn-deactivated-deactiva]

Jefrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacey were both reported to the police *several different times by several different people* and in both cases the police did exactly fuck-all because the reports came from known gay dudes.

[davincichode]

The Golden State Killer literally retired from the police force after he was actively raping and killing throughout his career. Robert Pickton mostly preyed on sex workers and Native women, and the police straight up ignored a report from a sex worker who had escaped from his farm. The only reason they ever investigated him at all was some unregistered gun bullshit.
