hating it when it made them money

hey the free market had spoken. lots of people hated that movie and wanted content that spoke to them. if the movie was successful there wouldn't be a craving for youtube videos about it.

also LOL @ "just doing it for money" like im sure nobody involved in the productions was keeping on a smile for money. no way, that never happened /s

"The new McCarthyism" boy oh boy that sure is a Republican Talking Point™ if I ever saw one. It's funny to watch even the comedians and artists and pop-culture junkies get swept up in the culture shift back to conservatism.

yeah wouldn't it be just insane if a bunch of people started a government witch hunt to root out Russian symphathizers?

i mean, it's a premise so unthinkable one can only mock it by referencing a previous time in history when it occurred!

Great to see Era signal boosting this on thier platform. Take note Joe Rogan, this is how your allowed back on Era.

I feel like there is a real movement going to post 'banned' stuff, but phrased in such a way they can't easily close the thread, because they're "bashing" it.. but it's still allowing it to slip through. Brilliant people, brilliant.

There is so much anti-TLJ stuff going on over there right now, it's hilarious.

Did anyone else notice all the Mods seemed to change their avatars to TLJ avatars recently? LOL

Uh oh.. someone page FeistyBoots! There are potentially MURDEROUS THREATENING HORRIBLE images in this thread that are literally killing transpeople. Get them removed STAT!

Who the hell even is this? The guy has less than 500 followers on Twitter. Is this a legit successful comic creator?

Edit: Huh, so it's been going since 2000? I guess there's gotta be some level of success there if it's so long-running (or it's just low-effort/the guy doesn't need the money).

Had to look that one up

Urban Dictionary: TERF

Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. That group of feminists that claims that trans women aren't really women, as biological determinism is only a fallacy when it used against them, not when they use it against others.

www.urbandictionary.com

That what it means in case your old like me and thought it was a retarded person trying to say what the grass on a football field is called

John Boyega implies Kelly Marie Tran was "not mentally strong" for how she dealt with fans (update: response and apology, see threadmark)

From a Variety interview: https://variety.com/2019/film/features/john-boyega-star-wars-fandom-conflict-1203433706/ The crazy day of Star Wars conversation continues. But seriously...what the fuck Boyega? EDIT: Sorry, the phrasing was actually "not mentally strong". Could a mod please update...

lol this Becky blue check trying to get Boyega cancelled

 

[bitbydeath]

Oh shit. Stinkles going to cop a ban or is he protected from the ‘misogynistic weirdo brigades’ on Reeeeee?

 

[#Phonepunk#]

it is a 100% bullshit bad faith reading. he never referred to her using that term.

he says "for those who are not mentally strong", they "believe every single thing that you read." he actually never says her name at all in this statement.

does the outraged writer think KMT "believes every single thing that she reads"? i don't think so. why would she think that. that would be very condescending.

quite a leap to cruxify a POC lead actor. sure she needs that many woke points?

ERA will toss a number to the fire over all this.

 

[zapiks44]

I'm mostly a longtime lurker and not an active poster - but when GAF seemingly imploded a few years ago I basically just quit visiting. Sometime last year I started visiting ERA to fill the time instead of the shit hole that reddit turned into. After a year of mostly lurking on ERA - holy. fuck. Talk about the inmates running the asylum. Came back to GAF and found this thread(s) filled with people having the same reactions I've been having for the last year. Was like finding a long lost relative and finding out they're doing pretty good all this time. Fuckin a. Glad to be back.

You pretty much described me exactly as well.

 

[nush]

I want to know if he Messofanego has some kind of scrip setup that sends him a notification of every LBQABC that causes outrage so he can post in them faster as a muslim male feminist with an arranged marriage wife to offer his insight. Or in other words, shit that does not have any effect on his life.

No one defending Boyega there is likely to cop a ban. Those who are criticizing him are likely to get banned by Nepenthe though.

Male British black actor from a well off family>female Asian actor. Kelly will have to come out as trans or asexual for them to actually care.

Actual video of RE reaction to JJ, Daisy, and John's press takes for the past 2 days.

I'm conflicted between my happiness at the drama on ERA and my bitterness as someone who loves TLJ but is sour on TROS with JJ at the helm+these interviews.

 

[Handel]

Here's the real question: have they contributed anything beneficial to society?

They haven't, and that is only relevant to them if they hate someone who doesn't have many accomplishments. They are more gleeful to try to shit on actually successful people. These are the same type of users who on GAF led a witch hunt against Sir Richard Timothy Hunt, a Nobel Prize winning biochemist, over unconfirmed reports about making a somewhat sexist joke that in the end was just a self-deprecating joke based on his own experiences. Bunch of cunts.

 

[Crash Station]

I think a lot of people know this by now, but Messofanego is 100% performative. He's not a troll or anything, he's just a crypto edgelord that doesn't believe any of the shit he's spouting but wants to fit in anyway because that's how the community he's always been with has evolved. The guy was big into a lot of edgy Newgrounds people back in the day and I'd be shocked if he's actually changed that much.

You're barely even influential in the US Era. Also, you Era fuckwits, in the UK you don't vote for who gets to be prime minister. You vote for the party and the party decides who is the leader.

Also if it matters to anyone, I'm pro stay in the EU.

I'm going to enjoy the Trump 2020 meltdown there.

 

[MilkyJoe]

JJ joining the chorus alongside Isaac and Boyega in saying slightly non-glowing things about TLJ and this is raising the Reee alarm pretty fierce

you hear that, minority cast! you better think about the alt right before you speak out! if you aren't 100% greasing up and bending over you are not being "responsible enough".

you hear that, minority actors? just shut up and do your job. you speaking your mind is "unprofessional". just think of the poor camera man whose feelings you hurt by saying your character was shit in the last movie.

not a good look to second guess The Perfect Genius Rian Johnson. just be happy being a space janitor and don't talk back!

This is marketing.

Cast and crew are obviously being told to throw Ruin Johnson under the bus, if they side with the fans the dumb fucks will fall for the ruse and go see their shitty episode 9.

Don't fall for it.

Why does ResetEra like TLJ so much anyway? It's clearly not a good movie. Their fascination with it is kind of funny.

Yep it's the greatest irony.

They spend so much time screeching and crying that their real knowledge of politics is actually wafer thin.

Maybe they would learn something if they actually allowed discussion rather than creating an echo chamber of people repeating the same 5 pre-programmed lines over and over.

Sitting on the train next to a mum and university age daughter. Daughter reading out that Boris is building 40 new hospitals - oh that’s good then. I’m biting my lip

Speak up.

She’ll be 18/19 - too late to try and educate, I likely she’ll start to read into any facts, too young to go with her gut, and her mum will both kill me and is probably a Tory from the sound of it

Speak up anyway, there might be people in earshot who would be receptive.

Yoshi mate, dearest Yoshi. As one Gaffer to another I really think you should go and make an appointment with a doctor and find out what they can do for you to surgically remove your tongue from Eras ass. Hopefully with any luck your medical insurance will cover the procedure.

Flixfantatier is quite clearly the truest of true Brits. One could even say he's a sister or a brother to us.

What do you want to tell me here? You complained that Flix could vote in the UK election, I point out to you that this is wrong and then you send a bunch of screencaps of postings by Flix my way? What is the relevance of these postings, outside of the first posting even telling you, why he cannot vote in the UK: He has lived here in Germany most of his life and then moved to the US. He has not lived in the UK the last fifteen years. So he cannot vote. Also I fully agree on his points about patriotism; it's stupid and dangerous. I am not even standing for Era here at all, Flix is a former colleague of mine and I am certain he is not an idiot. If he could vote in the UK election, he would (and would know).

If it's the case that he's been out of the UK for that amount of time then the reality is that he should have no horse in this race - he's not close enough to the situation so why he's trying to influence those who are living it is beyond me. 15 years is a long time, a lot changes and we all know that looking in from the outside doesn't always paint an accurate picture of what it's like to live somewhere.

In comparison I've only been out of the UK for 6 years and yet still, I feel that I'm too far away to have a say in this. My take on it is this - let those who are in the country and living through the situation on a day to day basis decide. Whatever the majority ultimately decide on is up to them, they are the ones who then have to live through the consequences of their decision, not me.

That's an absolutely fair assessment. If I were in a similar situation (so e.g. I was half British but lived my live in Germany), I would only want to vote in the GE because of Brexit (because that does concern me as a EU citizen), in a normal GE I would personally not participate. But Flix' position is not, as originally displayed, contraditory.

Don't fall for it.

im not going to fall for the conspiracy that says cast and crew are being told what to say. that sounds a bit paranoid.

John Boyega has thrown a lot of hints about how he feels over the years. he is an OG fan. still thinks Anakin is the top Jedi even if some NEU comic writer says otherwise. Daisy has never seemed that happy with the movie. if you go back to the press clips she says "Rian wrote something unexpected" or whatever, it's not exactly an endorsement of what he did. she wasn't giving it lots of glowing praising it or anything. you can kinda tell everyone was forcing a smile for that one.

these people are professional actors, if they were directed to act a certain way on press tour, why not make them 100% cheerlead these films? i don't think they are on as strong a leash as you think.
