  • I have a conflicted view of Netflix. They’re a classic big American corporation and come with all the bullshit that entails, but at the same time they do occasionally do some cool things.

    Like releasing queer content despite the backlash from the right. They released that “gay boot camp” series recently and it absolutely enraged right wing bigots. This thing with blender is another example.

    I am very nervous about their Warner Brothers purchase and am hoping they prove to be responsible owners of all those IP’s. It seems quite unlikely, though. There are so few American corporations who aren’t shitty.







  • Now that I’ve thought more about this “article” I think it’s meant to do two things: make the left angry, and let the right know that Renee was gay, and therefore her life was worthless. It’s not like Bannon can just create an article titled “she was gay btw.” This is much more effective.

    I think she was technically bisexual, considering her previous marriages to men, but it’s not like these bigots care about nuance.

    I don’t blame people for having knee-jerk reactions. I do blame them for not listening to people telling them they’re sharing rage-bait, and being hostile when it’s pointed out. Leftists can be so fucking difficult to get along with.


  • This article is not an example of that. It’s a bad-faith argument which isn’t meant to achieve anything other than anger. It’s meant to piss you off so you share it with your friends who become pissed off and then share it with their friends. By sharing this article you are helping them.

    This one is particularly obvious. The woman who wasn’t there is responsible for this murder? Obvious nonsense.

    This is thinly-veiled homophobia.
