One of the most striking things about social media is how it allows us to watch people lose their minds in real time. Imagine seeing a movie you like or a ubiquitous symbol and talking yourself into seething with rage.

On a completely different topic, wow, Dune Pt 2 was awesome, wasn’t it?

I genuinely wonder if conservatives have object permanence
Reading between the lines, though, he does fuck the occasional potato.
Is his next complaint going to be that you can’t call a bundle of sticks “faggot” anymore because the gays stole that too?
But Haywood is so far down the rabbit hole he probably thinks Candace Owens is right about Macron's wife being trans.
That's a lotta DEI.
rainbow part reminds me of when conservatives forced the U. of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors to drop Rainbow

One of the girlboss scientists was changed from Asian to white for the movie, though, so...one point to the racists?
We're doing the (much less insane) flip side of it right now.
so they do it more
Did God take them to heaven so they could fart out rainbows?
I always find these theological questions so baffling.
The Wikipedia article says so, and also includes this:
In 2021 Matt Damon said his daughter had mocked him for the movie. She made a point of calling it "The Wall", and when Damon corrected her with "The Great Wall", she remarked that there was nothing great about it.
Thanks for bringing it to my tl
(That is him in the center, isn't it? I can't remember the last time I saw one of his movies.)
Here's the trailer for his Nike shoe movie released last year, the trailer is mostly him, he doesn't look much like Gibson to me.
…Ehh, I can’t keep it up. Conservative derangement is a hell of a syndrome.

1) Why is this asshole quoting The Go-Between? Did he undertand the criticism of Victorian hypocrisy?
2) No, the Martian guy is neither straight or gay. In "hard science fiction", human relationships are beside the point.
Real men live their lives in black and white or sepia tones. With the occasional blood red thrown in. Those are the only manly colours. 🙄
The word “anticipate” is doing a lot of telling here.
The Martian has a black astrophysicist and a Chinese rocket propeller firm team up to save the main character.
The mission is a multinational team led by a woman.
It's everything they say they hate.
I think that's a you problem, my man
No. No he does not.
At one point in the book Watney laments that he hasn't seen a woman in over a year and hopes he will be more romantically successful after returning as a heroic astronaut.
Go home and bang and leave the rest of us alone.
Unless you see movies, of course.
And Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher is clearly ace.
“No, he’s gay.”
I like that it was a relatively diverse, professional, celebration of science and human achievement flick.
It honestly should be a movie that these people hate.
For example, this guy just indirectly said he's constantly thinking of men in BDSM gear. Hmm.
It's giving, nobody on Grindr will poke me back so now I'm a tablecloth Republican or whatever those self hating gays are called!
It seems they have identified their most reliable voting base.
Also, did he miss how diverse the cast was in The Martian? He does make a good point though, could have had a couple us queers in it admittedly (it’s not like they didn’t change other casting - Mindy Park, for instance).
Something like that anyway.
Unfair to Watney; both characters are heroic. Still probably a good response insofar as it'd be deleterious to that one poster's heart health.
It’s a bizarre take at best.

Poster's Disease maybe?
It’s a rainbow.
And it’s not appropriated, it’s refracted.
but bc NASA discovered the ground on Mars is so toxic you couldn't grow anything on it,, NOT because it's 'too woke'
(I know the movie isn't about aliens but let my dumb joke live!)
(he apparently does a "To Be Or Not To Be" joke. I haven't seen the movie, and this is the only thing I know about what happens in it. Except for violence, in general, of course)
