People really screech about how people don’t support male abuse victims because they don’t support Depp, but then—Brendan Fraser, Ray Fisher, they couldn’t give less of a shit about

YES!

Okay, I have to talk about this for a second.

People claim they care about male victims but I haven't seen people go so hard for Brendan or Ray as they have Depp. Like at all. People are lining up outside the courthouse to support him. Someone brought alpacas to the courthouse because Depp once said he liked the animals. He drives by in a van and people shower him with gifts.

Ray Fisher and Brendan Fraser haven't even received a fourth of the support Depp has. I never see Depp fans talking about those two unless it's to prop up Johnny somehow. I also don't see them talking about non-famous men and the abuse they face. They don't offer up facts or anything. They just say 'men can be victims too.'

And it's infuriating.

Would it be cultural appropriation for a Black person to write about Grimm's fairy tales? I know that there are white folks who have done movies based on African folklore but what about the opposite scenario?

No, it wouldn't because Grimm fairy tales are from all over the world. They took a lot of stories from other places and put them all in one book. Not to mention there can be black Europeans. Black people are all over the world.

If you want justice for Amber Heard, clap you hands! 👏👏 If you want justice for Amber Heard, clap you hands! 👏👏 If you want justice for a woman who was greatly wronged by misogynist media and even now that the truth has been exposed, you're still angry because the people aren't screaming as loud as they were when they believed that "j**ny is innocent" and want nothing more than to shove a cactus up his lawyers' enabling asses. If you want justice for Amber Heard, clap you hands! 👏👏

You know what's also really sad? Disney's overconfidence. I'm not sure if you remember this, but Disney was so sure that they would win an Oscar over Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse, that they start promoting their "win" before the results even came out.

God, I remember that!

That was so hilarious to me, I will never forget that.

For those of you who don't know, Disney released Ralph Breaks the Internet in the same year as Spiderverse ad their dumbasses honestly believed they are going to win so I guess they told the stores to go ahead and promote as a winner because this picture was taken:

And this was BEFORE the results came out.

Yeah, I don't know who told them to put this up I will never get over this.

I just started reading Chainsaw Man. It's really interesting and I like the art a lot.

I need to read the manga. I've been watching the anime but I'm so impatient that I want to see the rest.

‘Christopher Robin’ kept Jim Cummings as the voice of Pooh, why couldn’t the Mario movie do the same thing with Charles??

This is an old message but I mean you have a point. It's not that hard.

Tbh with No Way Home, what people are most excited about are to see characters that were not in the MCU. Because MCU Spider-Man was bland and dull.

They want to see characters that were written and created uniquely. People are literally praising Marvel for doing as little as realising they have to piggy back off Into the Spiderverse and the other Spider-Man films because they cannot think of anything unique themselves.

I mean you're not wrong.

Again, nothing against Tom Holland, but his Spider-Man is so boring and forgettable. This also really does prove that the MCU has no original ideas anymore or at least the higher-ups at Disney are just playing it safe.

I hope Warner Bros., Sony Animation, and DreamWorks take Disney's employees, since they do a better job at treating lbgt people right and doing better lbgt rep than disney too. Disney finna lose all their employees and lose all their money too. I hope disney go bankrupt.

I've said this before and I've said it again, we don't have to rely on Disney solely for animation anymore. I feel like Disney hasn't realized this yet either. Yes, they have released great animated movies but that is because of the teams behind it, not Disney itself. And while Warner Brothers has it's issues, they and the other companies are a lot more experimental with their animated films than Disney is. Spiderverse and Mitchells vs the Machines wouldn't have gotten made under Disney. Lego Movie? I doubt Disney would have made something like that, it's not in their wheelhouse. And you know like 95% of Dreamworks films would not get made under the Disney umbrella because they're too edgy.

I also blame a lot of this on Bob Chapek because seems incompetent. So far, all he's done has been bad. He's the one who introduced those stupid NFTs and also thought it was a good idea to open up a new hotel that cost $5,000 for two nights during a pandemic and economic recession.

I'm ranty but this shit has my blood boiling.
