PLEASE REBLOG THIS WARNING

HEY GUYS

The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.

If you’re going to watch a terrible movie, at least stay safe doing it!

Did you HEAR about Jon Favreau’s new project? (And what he said about Boba and Jango?) How HYPED are you?

I’m cautiously excited, and always up for more Mandalorian content! But does the titular Mandalorian have actual ties to Jango and Boba, or are they simply being namedropped to prop up a white protagonist, I wonder? At least this teaser text seems to affirm that Jango and Boba are, in fact, Mandalorians?

Did you see DHF’s thread on the reylows bashing John and Finn, saying John is untalented, fat, expressing happiness that he’s not getting roles etc. I know you’re a nonblack person who gets it but shit like that is why black Finn fans are ✌🏾 to this fandom. I’m demoralized and hurt. They love shitting on a man who has done nothing to them except playa character who gets close to their precious white girl.

Oh my God, it’s so horrible. I don’t even want to link it because it’s so sickening, though @diversehighfantasy as always has incredible fortitude in wading into these cesspools to get the evidence. I can’t possibly understand in full how hurtful and toxic this shit is to Black fans, but if I feel sick I can only try to extrapolate how it is for you. I’m very sorry fandom is such a terrible environment and I wish things were different.

that article about white guys who kill people is pretty disturbing. you don’t have to answer this if you don’t want, but I’m curious whether racially homogeneous countries (like south korea) also have a hierarchy of criminals who get more sympathy than others due to some factor (class, immigration status, etc.)?

From my observation crimes by immigrants, often Chinese-Koreans who make up a lot of our immigration population, are sensationalized and generalized way more than crimes by native Koreans. And among Koreans, men who commit violent and sexual crimes against women tend to get off lighter. Class seems to be a factor, too, because it always seems to be men working odd jobs, homeless men etc. who get splashed across the news. You hear news about a doctor killing his pregnant wife and stuff like that, but I haven’t seen them do perp walks on national television.

I’m sorry for the Finn thing. My self-racism detectors were working on the assumption of “don’t assume that black people are more resilient than they are,” and it didn’t occur to me to calibrate them in the other direction as well.

I think the way dehumanization works is often by extremes that disregard the complexity of a person–so both hypersexualization and desexualization can be used in racist ways, for instance. Seeing someone as hyper-resilient is othering, but so is seeing them as completely helpless and dependent. Maybe it’s because humanity so often lies in the muddled and messy in-betweens.

As someone who has seen all the series of DW since 2005, there are clearly issues with the tv show. Sure there’s a lot of tokenism and the 11th doctor is very centered in a hero figure that is (looking back on it) quite annoying and typical of Stephen Moffat’s writing. But they do break the expected on quite a few occasions. All hope is not lost to me ever since Bill Potts appeared last season. Sad thing: the black lesbian dies :/

Oh no, I was seeing some content about her on my dash and one day they stopped. Was that why? 😦 According to her wiki page she was fatally shot and then ultimately left to travel around the universe with her girlfriend, though I can see how that’s functional death.

I’d recommend 1-2-3-Solo-RO-4-5-6-7-8-9. As much as Solo has issues, it actually feels like a SW movie. Unlike tlj. It’s okay ppl don’t want to watch it but Solo was better than tlj, PM and ATC imo.

A lot of people who have seen both have said Solo >>>>> TLJ. Which is a low bar in my opinion, since TLJ wasn’t just bad–2/3 of the prequel and original movies are bad anyway–it was outright malicious and went miles out of its way to be racist in a franchise that is already impressively racist. This suggestion seems fine if you want to go in strict chronological order, though I would leave out 8 personally.

I know we talk about the re//ylow vs finnrey ships & how that shows fandom racism but have we talked about ky//lux vs hanlando? Ky//lux is a HUGE ship built on nothing more than 2 white guys who hate each other but hanlando has huge amounts of subtext & we’ve just had a movie with the younger versions of them & yet hardly ANYONE ships them?! If Lando was white, you just KNOW it would be a huge ship.

Han and Lando had more chemistry in two seconds than Kyle and Hugs had in two movies.
