After watching it's Quiet on Set, I want Brian Peck, Dan Schneider, and those that wrote character letters hunted for sport. But I also blame the parents, and not just the actors' parents who turned blind eyes in order to fund the family, but also our parents. I know so many parents who laughed at these inappropriate jokes being preformed by children because "Nickelodeon is just trying to make it fun for adults too". These kids shows are not supposed to be "fun for adults too" especially if it's children preforming these "jokes". If the parents of our time had been like this isn't right, and had done something or said something, who knows what could have happened. I'm so angry and disappointed in the adults who recognized the adult joke, but didn't try to protect the child preforming it.
ok so these new tariffs are likely going to be primarily affecting red states. i want y’all to ignore the urge to respond by saying the people in those red states deserve it because of the political representation we have. not because some of us are progressives but because this is an opportunity. if conservatives from these states start complaining about higher prices and financial strain, do not respond with “well you voted for this!” this is your opportunity to pull them to the center. say “wow that is really awful. i’m sure this isn’t what you wanted when you voted last year. you deserve representatives that will have your best interests at heart, you should let them know how upset you are! you deserve to be heard!”
because listen to me. republican politicians don’t give a shit about what progressives in red states have to say. they aren’t gonna change their voting trends for us. but if a bunch of small town conservatives start to get restless and angry with their politicians, if they lose support from their most important demographics, that has a shot at changing things. so swallow your pride and disgust and have a conversation with that republican truck driver instead of taking the pot shot that’ll get you 10 minutes of dopamine. do the hard work.
Although it's a comedy, My name's Earl kind of tackles this. Mind you he does try to earn his victims forgiveness as part of his becoming a better person. But I think it tackles a pretty good redemption for those who want something lighthearted.
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
Remember if you live in state that are banning abortions, delete your period tracking app, delete your health tracking apps on your phone, and don't reveal your identity at any protest to anyone except those you came with. Stay safe and stay alert
I would personally replace capitalism with power. Power is predatory. But I understand why they said capitalism, because one of the big statements in Hollywood is "sex sells" and they found they could make more money off of putting kids in inappropriate situations and as long as the right people kept making money, then they didn't care what happens on set.
Earlier I came a cross a tiktok (in reference to the quiet on set doc) where this person was claiming the reason we have child predators is because capitalism is predatory.. what an insane take. Just yikes.
Let my friends each pick what color they think I am, and decided that's how I'm going to decorate my new apartment. Thankfully the colors all look good together
Four modes actually, you forgot adopt
Humans have three modes: fuck, pet and eat. Whatever you are, wherever you are, know; if a human looks at you, one of these will activate and you can’t escape.
But like not everyone needs to be told that this song they like is about sex or murder or anything else that would ruin their view of the song, can we not do that. Like why does everyone have to analyze every lyric, why can't they just be allowed to enjoy a song. Sincerely, someone who had to help a panicking friend pick a new daddy daughter song for her wedding in two days because she's had a song picked for years, and a funny dance routine planned out before a bridesmaid told her she was weird for choosing a sex song to dance with her dad too.
Don't be a musical elitist Asshole!
I'M SOOOO READY
