These complaints are always disingenuous. If it's too childish for grownups to hate on, it's too childish for grownups to care about grownups hating on it like you are. Why would you even care what anyone was saying about something truly not meant for any adults to enjoy?
People like this are clearly just in their feelings people aren't supporting a movie they like, but they can't just admit that or are too lazy to articulate a defense of the movie so they have to resort to this disingenuous "it's for kids, grownups shouldn't care." But YOU care
If you like something, just defend it on its merits. No one buys the whole "I'm doing this for the kids" shit. People out here using these hypothetical kids as shields, like kids are on the same social media as adults or reading thinkpieces getting their days ruined lol.
Did Onion see this thread? Lol

This may be most controversial thing I tweeted but...I feel a measure of sympathy for this thread and don't hate it like everyone else. I'd rather people be totally transparent and honest about money they have with hard numbers than deal with secretly rich people cosplaying poor
Yeah he's saying a lot of cringey tone-deaf stuff and is grappling clumsily with some hard issues, but admitting all that stuff can't be easy. But I hung out with a lot of bohemian types having adventures in brokeness and they talked a bunch of guillotine talk then they announce
...they just inherited over 6 figures from a grandparent they barely even knew (that's a true story) while I was wondering if I'd ever make enough money to support my parents into old age. I'd rather more people be like him and just spill it all and interrogate it...

Start here and follow to its conclusion as I and others immediately start searching. Any white guy who praises Asian success as being about high IQ and their freedom to be unPC/racist/xenophobic always ends up being antiblack racist with an Asian partner
I struggled to find this last piece of the puzzle, the best I could find was a stay in China on his blog, but this guy had better google skills and found the final piece to complete the @charlesmurray/@DissidentRight bingo card

"Death of the Author" is one guy's preference on how to enjoy and discuss art. It's not a natural law like gravity or a proven theory like Theory of Relativity or something. You can't just win an argument by citing it exists. People are allowed to not be swayed by it!
Every time there is a debate on a piece of art, someone inevitably comes in with "uh, ever hear of Death of the Author?" like the other person missed the latest scientific development or debunking on a topic they're talking about. It's an opinion not some irrefutable truth lol
I'm not talking about people who get it wrong or use it to excuse pedos. I'm saying even what it actually says (removing author's intention) when interpreted correctly is not an objective truth people are obligated to follow but one person's opinion

This whole thread is pointless and time-wasting because at the end of the day none of the people leading the CRT panic care what the fuck you call any of it or how it evolved or related to each other. They don’t like ANYTHING that says racism is real and whites today benefit
more productive thing would be for the CRT critics who keep trying to prove everything is CRT give us an example of what they think is the best school of antiracism and why and let us litigate that. What IS good antiracism if any? What DO white people need to improve in re:race?
If you could prove that Ibram Kendi is not CRT, would Christopher Rufo suddenly be okay with him? Or suddenly be okay with CRT if it was proven to not be same framework as DiAngelo? No, they’d hate all of them no matter what you call them so long as it says racism is real

Interesting how the diversification on this new Gossip Girl show is all female. A big move now is to have no Black guys, an attractive Black guy but he's gay, or a straight cis Black guy not a heartthrob type. Another prediction: one of the black girls will be the token gay too
if they did have a straight Black guy on, he would have been more a John Boyega type Black guy and not a Trey Songz or young Denzel type. The show Quantico had this type of casting too: diverse but only the females, so it feeds into the "world as the white man's harem" fantasy
Check for yourself and you'll keep noticing it. Diversification is usually only the women, who are often shown as gay or swirlers. The Black men are either (1) straight and hot but asexual/attached like the Rock's characters. They are not usually in the mix of cast love triangles

The show villain The real villain ImageImage
Just about everything that goes bad for them really is because of Jesse and honestly Walt is exceedingly patient with him and nails him out of so many jams it’s insane. Jesse also forced Walt into the position where he had to poison Brock yes I said it
In the final season they really play up the Walt the Heel act and make him really really genuinely shitty to Jesse to kind of balance things better but the first four seasons Jesse is dead weight and ruins everything. On rewatch I decided Jesse is actually real metaphoric cancer
