"Any good point by a dickhead has already been made by someone who isn't a dickhead" is exactly the message that the Joe Rogan's of the world need to learn but most likely never will.

#Wildwood is a truly captivating story with second-to-none stop-motion animation; fully-formed, nuanced characters who avoid common tropes; and a fantastical story that feels both familiar in its nuts-and-bolts and unexpected in all the ways that matter. 🙌 Read Our ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review Here: bit.ly/3WjSyFD

They're just resentful their regressive views aren't as popular, so they wish progressive celebs would shut up. As for artists/celeb that do this, you know from them it's almost always just code for 'I'm conservative but I'm too scared to just say it in public'. So yes, Hetfield is being a pussy.

Whenever anyone complains that artists shouldn't be 'political', it's always in response to an artist voicing politics they don't share. Look at how conservatives claim to hate 'out-of-touch woke celebs' but then fawn over any who voice any right wing views.

I desperately want it to do well because it looks great - I've liked the trailers - and Laika deserves to catch a break for keeping unique, skilled animation like this alive. I'll be trying to go see this as soon as it becomes available in the UK on 23rd.

"rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary"

Screenshot from Tumblr:
First, Tumblr user stopsignsworstenemy says, "i was going to do a rant about this before seeing this tweet but imma just leave this here" and shares a Bluesky screenshot from Sam (ABeardedPanda) which reads:
I have to say this leftist tendency to believe that if anyone profited anywhere from something it becomes inherently morally wrong is the dumbest shit in the world and is just arguing that perfect is the enemy of better.

Bluesky user Starfish Who Can't Thin... quote-skeets and adds:
Rainbow capitalism was good because the alternative we got wasn't rainbow socialism but "the guy who runs around being physically violent until Target removes all the gay stuff wins."

Tumblr user arrows-for-pens "peer reviews" and quotes hashtags from Tumblr user @runawaymarbles:
#been saying for years #rainbow capitalism isn't a movement but it sure is a fucking canary

Please go see this movie when it comes out. It looks great and it comes from one of the last studios doing stop motion animation. If people are going to keep whining about 'modern cinema sucks' and 'originality is dead', then they can at least try and support something unique like this.

I think a big reason so many Christofascists have latched on to Trump is, on rare occasions when they read the Bible, they get extremely uncomfortable with how woke Christ's teachings actually were. With Trump, they don't have that discomfort. He's just awful for the sake of awful and they love it.

We don't talk nearly enough about how psychotic MAGA Trump worship is just downstream from psychotic Christofascist "Christian" worship that completely ignores the teachings of Christ in favor of insane arrogant self-victimization.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

This also touches on how transphobes, like all bigots, really just love bullying. You know what you have to do to be decent towards trans people? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Just leave people alone and you count as tolerant! But bigots just can't resist their urge to be sh*tty towards anyone different!

The entire edifice of "sex-based rights" is an absurd moral and legal fiction wearing feminism's stolen clothes--and it seems this group of people promoting "Christian Rights" are trying a similar trick. The UK has fertilised itself for this perfidy with its own bullshit. Democracy is at risk.
