In a fundamentally racist franchise, it's the most racist film yet. Maybe some people don't like seeing racist shit succeed? I know I don't. But maybe I need help.

You're right and don't need any help. It's odd seeing so many here bluntly cheer this series on specifically to do huge B.O numbers.

Nope you're right.



You'll also never see Avatar fans acknowledge it and just assume everyone who hates the series is just "Salty" or whatever nonsense they tell themselves to make them feel better.

Lol, whataboutism. Yeah I'll just head out and put this thread on ignore. I've done this particular dance too many times about indigenous issues and I don't feel like doing it again, especially in a mostly unrelated topic. Enjoy flexing your Jimbos or whatever.

The vast majority of replies in this thread now are just random stories about AI, unrelated to "signs the bubble is popping." We already have an AI OT in Etcetera Hangouts, we really don't need another catch all like this.

you dont have to be slanting positive on AI to post in the AI OT... just dont go in there looking for a fight lol. just like any thread on a topic, its just discussing the topic with the added-on rules set by mods

That's not true, people get piled on all the time for being critical of AI. And that's fine - the thread would be useless for *everyone* if that was the sole place to discuss AI. It's far better to have one thread where the AI fans can go, and one thread where people who dislike AI can go. Any other alternative pisses one group off and makes the forum worse to read for everyone.



Having a whole two threads is not exactly a big issue for us…

"all the time"



?



looking through all the way back to October, don't see anyone getting piled on for being critical. and yes, there are people being critical...

Presumably because there have been threadbans and/or people just don't want to deal with the thread anymore. I am absolutely agreeing critical voices haven't been exactly welcomed in there.

just gonna have to disagree as far as the official topic is concerned. i have twice as many posts in there as the next person, and i can't say anyone gets piled on in there with regularity. the rest of era is that, though, with both sides piling each other and that'
s not really changed the past couple years.

Since these dudes are so attuned to indigenous issues, where’s the thread on federal recognition for the Lumbee tribe? 

Wait, there isn’t one? 

How is that possible given the level of sincere engagement and concern for these massively significant cultural milestones?

My dark dream is that Hazelight does a reboot of Army of Two that is critical of online masculinity and a commentary on the growth of the Andrew Tate-style influencer.

Also, I click ads daily because I'm both neurodivergent (curious) and a marketer (learner) so I'm by far not the "usual" person here.

 

I do not understand the mindset of anyone who clicks on any ad for any reason

if I ever saw anything in an ad that made me curious, I would sooner google it than click the ad

also seems kind of shitty to imply that "neurodivergents" (autists?) are curious and therefore click on more ads?

what the fuck

I expect it to be as acknowledged as often as the jingoism in a series currently teasing the return of fan favorite captain colonialism coming back to beat up an evil eastern block leader stereotype.

Oh excuse me, he's evil tony stark this time. Bullet dodged I'm sure. At least this time KKKevin Feige doesn't have a minority director ready to throw under the bus if it underperforms. He's got AI proponents Russo Bros, scurrying back after stinking up the joint on every other project they touched, at the helm as the eighth emergency glass broken.


Don't particularly care about Avatar but find it funny how selective this is. Here's all the issues with this making money but let's ignore the giant mouse in the room.

James Cameron's Avatar is still one of the most virulent anti-imperialist franchise film series of our time and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
