chuds reading “the curtains were blue” and concluding that the curtains are orange

It’s just hard to satirise these people Verhoven tried to satirise fascist aspects of US culture but those aspects are so mainstream that to Americans pointing them out is like pointing out water to a fish.

I was thinking about that when we were discussing whether the BAYC Apes were intentionally racist depictions of black people, and part of the reason I was skeptical of the thesis is that the ambient background racism of the US is so thick and pervasive it’s hard to tell when something is being racist intentionally or if it’s just mirroring the racism that exists everywhere.

this moves beyond a lack of media analysis and into failing to understand what is happening directly in front of you.

also “how is that creepy asshole with the sociopathic plastic smile and the dead mackarell eyes not the hero of the show?” politics aside, Antony Starr just nails playing Homelander in a way that should make everybody’s skin crawl. yet they see that predatory grin stapled to his face and think “cool this guy is just like me”.

Millions and millions and millions of people thought Hitler was the good guy, so.

Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
