Yeah talk about a depressing thought
Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he’s too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man
No doubt there were plenty of gay men back then but were they widely accepted?
Wait I have one and I’m 27 now, should I be worried?
Yeah look at how every single conversation about supporting small businesses went on reddit. Users would rage day and night about the ills of megacorporations. But if you got them talking about supporting small business they’d come out of the woodwork to tell you they’re not paying a higher price. And with things being as tight as they are right now, that’s a logical conclusion. But it just goes to show that even if you sit someone down and explain to them that X thing they say they support absolutely cannot compete with the price of Y thing they say they hate - they will still side with their pocketbook 9/10 times
I don’t think you realize how incredibly short 10 years is in terms of investment recuperation. That’s not realistic unless you’re talking about abandoning capitalism all together, at which point the particulars of IP law are irrelevant
Individuals and small companies would never be able to compete with the resources of someone like Amazon
Then we just need to put ice cubes in the ocean. Plus that would help us cool the earth down
You lost a remnant of someone you cared about, so it makes sense even though it was bad for you in the long run
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Yeah just in the middle of a string of bad ones without an easy way out, not feeling much at all. But I’ll get there. I appreciate your reassurance!
Interesting day to see this on… been a really bad one
Noooooooo non-consent is our only weakness!!!
Reminds me of my local Rally’s switching to an “automated drive thru assistant.” The jank thing doesn’t even respond when you talk to it, just reminds you every 60 seconds that it’s ready when you are. First time I went I drove off. Went a second time thinking it might have been a fluke and I’d get actual human service. Nope. Guess I’ll be finding a new burger place for my hangovers
I can’t fathom having all these unique experiences, all these stories and love letters to genres and cultures getting lost in the vortex of time.
Something something lost like tears in the rain. (Blade Runner)
Just know that every generation before you and every generation after feels the same about their culture/experiences. C’est la vie
Humanity’s existed for hundreds of thousands of years without any kind of permanent medium, and we still do. It’s only in the very recent history of extreme archival that we’ve come to think that information should last forever.
Houses, cities, peoples, cultures, public works, countries, knowledge, technologies, languages - all that we are is ephemeral, and we’ll continue on
you seem to be requiring these characters to be in a constant state of objectification to receive the label
I’m not. It’s about context. To treat objectification as some binary completely misses the point of objectification in the first place. As a facet of social philosophy, the idea has merit due to its context within culture and within the context of the media itself. Even if I agreed that a single sexual scene is objectifying (I don’t) it would merely be in a semantic sense when (in the example of Thor) throughout the entire movie he is a multifaceted character who is clearly treated with respect by the creators.
Agency and subjectivity, in concerns to objectification, are so important because they’re the whole point. When we assume the incredibly reductive definition of objectification as merely being acknowledged or treated as a sexual being we rob others of their ability to choose to embrace their sexuality. Thereby that definition of objectification is in itself objectifying.
Are you objectifying your partner by checking them out when they’re unclothed? Are you objectifying your partner by having sex with them? Most likely not. How do I know? Because, presumably, your partner is exercising enthusiastic consent - they are exercising their subjectivity and agency within context of a healthy and respectful relationship.
To suggest a single scene fits a semantic definition of objectification ‐ as someone who had to study this stuff in university - completely misses the point of why objectification matters
Edit: you also seem to be relying on your past experience with this term for your understanding of it. I would advise against that. Many many many groups of people completely miss the point or misrepresent objectification
Because the discussion of legitimate male issues is being co-opted by anger and anti-feminism. But that’s just my guess
