Everyone who works with him talks about what a mensch he is, so, like... that scans.

Yeah he plays a lot of really annoying characters because there's a market for it. But this all tracks of what I've heard about him behind the scenes.

So Marvel’s out here ripping off smaller artists now

They edited it just enough that it isn’t immediately obvious, especially to non-artists, so here’s some replies pointing out the proof:

Honestly, I’m glad I stopped watching their shows and films months ago, becuase between this and how they treat their CGI artists, it’s pretty clear that they don’t value artists in any way, shape or form whatsoever. Incredibly disappointing.

Fuck Disney.

last week would have been the 58th birthday of bernard baran, who was imprisoned in 1984 at the age of 19 after a pair of parents failed to get him expelled from his position as a teacher's aide via a complaint about his uncloseted homosexuality and resorted to fabricating claims of pedophilia and sexual abuse. refusing a plea bargain for 5 years that demanded admission of guilt by maintaining his innocence, he received multiple life sentences and ultimately spent 21 years in prison. a scrawny boy of less than 100 pounds whose photo was published in the newspapers, he was beaten and sexually tormented, received threatening letters and a bounty was placed on his head. his conviction came in record time despite a total lack of evidence, countless contradictory and objectively impossible stories, and preschooler child witnesses outright asking for the "prize" they were "promised" after giving their testimony. his immediate appeal was denied, and afterwards his family was too poor to continue paying a lawyer. not a single lgbt organisation chose the side of a gay teenager being subjected to a kangaroo court in the middle of the satanic panic. ultimately, his release took until 2006, a few days after his 41st birthday, when a local advocacy group successfully proved the absurdity of his trial and the deliberate manipulation of evidence. he only got to live another 8 years in freedom, bearing mental and physical damage from years of abuse and negligent medical care. he needed a full set of new teeth to replace the ones that were punched out or broken and extracted. nevertheless, he enjoyed gardening and found work as a landscaper. his record has not been cleared to this day.

This is what pride is for.

Yes the parades are fun. That's not why we fight

Pride is for people like Matthew Shephard, Bernard Baran.

Pride is for people in countries like Uganda, where being gay is punishable by death.

Pride is for people who can't come out safely due to religious intolerance, bigotry, or persecution.

Colleen: *contorts and spreads an underage fan's legs on stage nearly exposing them, did stuff like that, brought up sex regularly with kids in a gc, demanded ass pics from Adam a 13 year old, poured out her marriage problems with kids, manipulated kids into defending her and hate on her ex, sent Adam a 13 year old lingerie, regularly hated on/made fun of her fans in a private gc, used Adam as a therapist on school nights when he was a kid sometimes until 4 am, manipulated Adam to meet her in person then blew him off, plotted to "take Adam down" with other kids and other youtubers, basically ruined Adam's life*

Also Colleen: I made a fart joke 5 years ago so everyone hates me.

A hatred of men is an essential part of transphobia against both trans women and trans men.

Genuinely curious how you would explain the transphobia of the far right with this logic.

Does Matt Walsh hate men?

Yes.

He hates men who do not conform to the patriarchy's ideals of manhood. He hates gay men. He hates men of color. He hates fat men. He hates men who are too thin. He hates short men. He hates Jewish men. He hates disabled men. He hates poor men.

He hates any man who does not conform to white American Christian cishet patriarchy.

And a hatred of men is not the only part of transphobia. You'll notice I said it is a part of transphobia. Misogyny - a hatred of women - is also a part of transphobia.

I wish people could just not hate

Me too.

Friendly reminder that Matt Walsh openly advocated for convicted CSAM holder and child molester Josh Duggar solely on the basis that he is a white, cis, conservative, 'god-fearing family man'.

If I may once again dip my toe into the discourse surrounding Greek Mythology, a lot of people like to rewrite or reframe the story of Medusa, and that’s great! Highly encourage it. But, DON’T YOU DARE GO AND DEMONIZE MY BOY PERSEUS!

Perseus isn’t some vile misogynist who hunts down and murders Medusa for the hell of it. He’s a scared kid who’s trying to save his mom from a forced marriage (whom herself has been a victim of terrible abuse from her father) to a creepy evil king and gets duped by the Gods into cleaning up their mess for them. He’s not the villain, he’s just another pawn. So if I see one more motherfucker trying to make him out to be the “real monster” I will throw hands.

You know what would be way more interesting?! Medusa sees Perseus rolling up to her crib and freaks out cause ‘holy shit this is a fucking kid. a fucking toddler with a sword and shield.’ and they hash it out and then TEAM UP to kill the evil kind trying to force marry Perseus’ mother! Think of the dynamics that you could write! The interactions that could occur. I mean, one of ‘em is gonna have to wear a blindfold but hey, minor problems.

What I’m saying is, gimme a buddy cop movie where Perseus and Medusa team up to fight evil in Ancient Greece.

I’m just picturing Perseus as this fairly well built sixteen year old kid, who looks a little underfed, and he’s like ‘ma’am I’m so sorry, I have to bring your head back to save my mom’ and medusa is like ‘okay, start over. We can work with this’ and compare trauma over some watered wine.

Danae and Medusa can get married and Perseus can have TWO Badass Moms

Okay but consider: Perseus regretfully tells Medusa he has to bring back her head to save his mother from a forced marriage and Medusa cocks her head and says “did the bastard say the rest of me couldn’t be attached?” and long story short Perseus rocks up with a Lady-Gaga-esque entourage of men carrying this gigantic silver platter with a giant metal cloche on top of it and announces it to his mother’s tormentor as the head of Medusa, and dude lifts it up and Perseus finishes, “and also the rest of her” and fucker turns to stone.

this is a bit heavyhanded but shhhhh shhhh

Dude, Stockton, my man.... Wherever you are in the afterlife...

Those rules you broke and obscenely safe regulations exist for a reason.

The ocean is vast, cold, and full of pressure that the human body can not withstand.

You went into it with your rich buddies (and a kid who was 19 and didn't want to go but only did because he wanted to make his dad happy on Father's Day) to visit a gravesite that is over 100 years old and deserves to be left alone in peace.

Your "submersible" was highly dangerous and you KNEW that, you cut corners and did not care about safety because you knew it would cost money to ensure that tin can would survive the conditions. And the one guy who did tell you that you fired him.

Billionaires with money on their hands and no experience in either space or deep sea diving should not be playing with rockets or submarines. What happened to the eccentric rich guys who collected art or some weird niche thing?

Space deserves to be explored and studied by scientists and astronauts and NASA, not cowboy cosplayer Bezos who doesn't let his employees have bathroom breaks.

The ocean should be explored by marine biologists, deep sea divers, and oceanographers. Not asshat rich boys playing Captain Nemo.

Also, those experts you ignored, knew what they were talking about because a majority of them are often ex-Navy.

The circle is complete:

1898: Morgan Robertson's novella "The Wreck of the Titan" is published.

1912: RMS Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks, in an event that almost beat-for-beat follows the plot of Robertson's novella.

2023: Oceangate's experimental submersible The Titan undergoes explosive decompression while retracing the descent of the Titanic.
