Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

It's saying that SV is a mundane and obvious part of empire building. Leaving it out carries its own risks, just as depicting it carries other risks.

Well you see akshually in my toy empire it shows real empire chews people up like you, I love toy empire media. I will defend this use of "art" in my toy empire at the expense of limiting access to media for actual victims. I'm so glad toy empire show is so popular I can't stop talking about it I hope they make more and get more profit

Is this aimed at your fellow hexbears? Some of us are SA victims and it would be really shitty to label us as childish SA enthusiasts just because you've spent the past 3 years quietly seething over disney slop being popular on a communist website.

What are you arguing for? Go back to enjoying SV references in almost every franchise on TV?

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

They're arguing the characterisation of it as a

garbage show that uses SV to make itself seem "serious" and "gritty"

And getting carried away I think

Maybe I should treat survivers as damaged people who can't cope with the realities of empire. Perhaps that will show how ethical and measured of a person I am for making trauma the essential variable that determines your value. Afterall it's all make believe. It's just a commodity. You don't exist and neither do I. Why should I care how imperialism is depicted?
