apparently there’s a wave of backlash because a superbowl ad is insensitive to people with a peanut allergy so who knows.

“Harry Potter star”. Do people not know his outside HP.
He’s not wrong: Whatever happened to simple word of mouth? Folks used to do research themselves before seeing movies, and you can suss out from others opinions if you feel like you’d enjoy something without being triggered.
Voldemort would be canceled these days, just for trying to kill a bunch of kids. SMH.
Ridiculous people have always existed. The audiences haven’t changed, it’s just now that silly people are the most pandered to when in the past they would have been laughed at or ignored.
True. A lot of people are sensitive bishes
It’s not audiences – the chronically offended crowd is more like 10 people on Twitter.
I put far more blame on the studios (and the larger corporate landscape of late capitalism) that is so painfully afraid to take risks or take a chance on upsetting literally anyone because the product they mass produce needs to be palatable to as many people as possible so it makes the line go up and the shareholders stay happy.
Agree with Fiennes. If you need trigger warnings, it’s on you to do the research. Somewhere along the way society started bending to the tiny vocal minority. Loudest doesn’t mean most.
Trigger warnings have existed for decades, you see those MPA ratings and guides? Trigger warnings.
There have been more specific ones I’ve seen in some TV shows which kind of frustrate me because they can be spoilers, I don’t remember the show but there was one that came up that said this episode contains a depiction of suicide which takes away from the shock of the episode where it happens and you are supposed to be in the confused mindset of the characters but you’re not because you had the warning prior. I just think streaming should have an option setting like subtitles where if you want a title card listing all the trigger warnings in an episode have at it
There is a sense that everything is to be made for everyone and that’s just not how things work. Some like sarcasm, some like rainbows. You can’t always combine the two and have it accepted from both sides.
So, it seems like there’s some serious backlash brewing over this Super Bowl ad that’s apparently not very considerate of folks with peanut allergies. Who would’ve thought, right?
He’s right you know
It comes from an ideology of oppression, taken from a model of Marxism. It’s meant to gain political and social power for groups that can label themselves outside of the majority as good guys and imply that the model in place needs to be remade by them.
“YOU’RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!!”
He’s right. Comedy is basically dead. To the point comedy movies don’t really exist anymore. People are currently trying to cancel a superbowl ad for having a tree nut allergy joke in it? Society is cooked.
This is kinda random but somewhat related and I just saw the story, I even hear Tim Cook from apple is removing that new Kanye west album from the apple charts every time it hits number one, which has been like 6 times now lmao. Censorship goes crazy lmao.
Big talk for somebody who gets bodied by a baby
More like movie studios have lost their bottle.
Ehh maybe there’s some truth to that
Or maybe, just maybe I remember hearing of a time in the late 80s when people were taking issue with music lyrics having curse words in it. A time in the 1950s when Elvis moving hips was an issue. A time when even cable tv couldn’t say shit until South Park? Did.
I just find it weird people are saying it’s gone too soft now when they had issues with way more stuff decades ago

Trigger warning: fantasy violence and Snape.
