I love when Dan Harmon says something mean about Trump and people start bringing up that time he humped a baby doll in a Channel 101 sketch ten years ago.

@mrmattimation people have tried to cancel him like every single year but nobody cancels Dan Harmon better than Dan Harmon himself imo
-
@tiff I really thought he’d have left or been ousted from Rick & Morty by now but watching Roiland’s solo show helped me realize that Dan Harmon isn’t the hero he asked for, but he’s the one we deserve

I'm not even sure some of these changes are "problems" and not more like "just an obvious place to maybe recast for a start," really?

@scribus the sentiment is nice and all but working from the societal equivalent of an F to a C- and calling it a day is not the big move they must think it is
-
@tiff Oh, and I totally get that. Like, a BW vid saying "I take responsibility" or whatever? Jegus... It's all been showboating and easy answers so far, it seems.
-
@scribus oh yeah that too, I was thinking about the industry at large but also individual people saying "I didn't know this racist thing I actively engaged in was racist" is something I don't often buy

was about to joke about how like 50% of Always Sunny will get thanos'd but i googled it and how are netflix only removing a single episode lmaoo
Monday, 29-Jun-20 23:18:47 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation sure is
-
I know that they're pulling an episode of Community for implied blackface, and without even reading into it I know the exact scene they're talking about and I sincerely do not believe that a single person with any stake in societal progression watched that scene and thought it was actually a problem
Monday, 29-Jun-20 10:45:08 UTC from web-
@tiff Similarly, I’m pretty sure pulling an episode of Golden Girls is not especially high on BlackLivesMatters’ priority list.
-
@mrmattimation I dunno how far exactly I'd go to defend these sorts of jokes but pretty much every example I can think of is pretty obviously a subversive criticism *of* blackface. Obviously I am not the person who can/should decide if that makes it more okay, but I feel like removing these scenes is stifling discussions of anti-racism if anything. Like just put the disclaimer in front like WB and Disney or whatever

@mrmattimation I would prefer it for future reference if POC actors got to voice POC characters, especially in the current industry where they aren't getting the same treatment or opportunities as white people; but I absolutely agree that this current wave of networks removing TV episodes with instances of racism and actors conveniently regretting voicing POC roles all of a sudden is largely posturing in the absence of actual willingness to, you know, hire and support and pay POC. I also don't think it's a particularly far reach to suggest that companies are just pretending this is what activists are asking for as some sort of psyop, since it will most likely push the needle back in their favour (i.e. still not hiring, supporting and paying POC)

Is there a name for people who are basically terfs but instead they hate gay men because they think male homosexuality is the result of misogyny? I seem to recall knowing someone like that in high school.
Friday, 19-Jun-20 22:46:58 UTC from web-

Started binge-watching Community. Before I have never watched more than a few episodes.
Thursday, 11-Jun-20 16:48:56 UTC from web-
@adiwan Community season 2 is one of my fave seasons of anything ever so I'd definitely take it that far at least. The rest ranges from okay to pretty good for me if you pretend the show ended with season 5
-
@adiwan I got like 4 episodes into season 6 and gave up lmao, it is not the same show at all by that point

I say, considering USA's COVID response, we should start a nationwide campaign informing people of the dangers of putting their junk in a blender (or vice versa), just to see what happens

Does anyone else find it particularly gross when for-profit corporations send messages about donating to charities or supporting a particular political opinion that doesn't have to do with their main business? It makes sense on the hiring end of course, and I get that companies are made of humans, but doing it on the public end just feels like capitalizing on people's emotions. The realty group holding my apartment made a donation to a campaign related to the protests. Why not give that money back to your leasers, or even your employees instead? They can then choose to do what they want with it.

When I was in high school I used to talk endless batcave on BLM because I was dumb and saw Ferguson on TV and, in a profound inability to recognize my own privilege, clung to the idea that the riots were a failure of the community, instead of a result of failure by society. I’m truly, truly sorry to anyone I offended with that kinda BS

@tiff Oh, just let me organize a rant on content warnings, and how an initially good and considerate idea has turned into a mollycoddle circlejerk, and if you're so terrified of spiders that I can't say "Spider-Man" that's YOUR problem, etc etc
-
@scribus I am wholly sympathetic towards people with those sorts of predispositions but at the same time we are at (arguably past) the point where people act like the Internet should be catered towards them and their sensibilities specifically and it's to the detriment of years of societal progress

there's no way around it; the minute any of my tweets gain any sort of traction I will have to delete this account so as not to get cancelled instantaneously

@awl yeah, I liked it overall (and most of the themes in season 6 hit extremely close for me) but it's probably the weakest season since the first

I have a pretty great immune system and viral infections don’t actually do a whole lot to me and I’m wondering if maybe I could shrink down to microscopic size and just take on the coronavirus myself, mono y mono
Sunday, 29-Mar-20 23:31:32 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation would you have sex with the coronavirus to teach it about the depths of human love
-
-
I’m beginning to consider the idea that maybe I have coronavirus but all it’s doing to me is giving me a cold. It’s been around 6-10 days since I was possibly exposed to it by an elderly customer who maybe got it in Arlington (never did figure out who it was and if they were even in the store), and I’ve been dealing with cold symptoms for a few days now. No fever yet, though, and my cough was exceptionally minor and is gone today. Hopefully if that’s the case I didn’t get anyone sick, I was careful to make sure I was sanitizing everything in my cough radius just in case.

@mrmattimation I thought the same until I had a fevre this morning. So now I’m self-quarantining.

@tiff he announced today that he would stay in the race despite not having a viable way to the nomination (in 2016 he at least had a real shot until around May or June) so he himself may be perpetuating the meme

Seriously, I exist in a constant state of readiness to draw blood if someone GIYF's me. I have actually ended a friendship for it ('course, it was a friendship with a guy in prison for attempted matricide, so maybe that was just the excuse lol)

@scribus a former co-worker of mine said this a lot. An automotive technician who relied on Youtube. It became a growing trend at that shop so I had to leave basically.

@awl Well, that's about as distressing as it is unsurprising. I mean, I've used YT for my auto repairs, but I never claimed to be a professional.

Time for me to be a big boy and come out and admit that I don’t know the difference between bisexuals and pansexuals. I have heard each definition. My brain can not comprehend a difference.

@tiff I always preferred label-free, anyway. Twenty years ago, I was "hetero" because "I may only be attracted to the opposite sex, but I'm not misogynistic or homophobic like those STRAIGHTS over there..."

@tiff @scribus thanks, admittedly I don’t 100% know what’s going to happen, it’s a friend I know through work and I found out about it through an announcement that was made to the management team about it. I don’t know how serious it is, if it’s treatable, etc. etc. Maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe this ends up being nothing after a round of chemo and a surgery. I hope that’s the case but I know almost nothing about it and I’m supposed to be pretend everything’s normal.

@mrmattimation i don't think there's any one (or really any at all) appropriate emotional response to something like that. even if the odds are favourable it puts the transience of those you care about into harrowing perspective
