  • So yeah, you have no idea how chuds use DEI in this context. Saying you're ”against DEI” means you're against non-white, non-cismale characters appearing in video games. It has nothing to do with job positions or anything like that, it's just about the treats.

    It's thinly veiled bigotry, and ”DEI” is just the latest chud buzzword to hide behind. Previously it was ”woke”, ”SJW”, ”PC”, etc.




  • Denmark has been viewed as racist by other countries left wing media because our politicians are willing to say if people of a certain religion makes up 95% of criminal activities of immigrants.

    ”I'm not racist at all, but here's some i-am-adolf-hitler opinions.”

    To me DEI just seems completely unnecessary. We already have rules about how you can behave around colleagues.

    What? Behave around colleagues? What has that have to do with DEI? I'm starting to think you don't even know what DEI means or even how chuds use it.




  • It's safe to assume at this point that anyone complaining about DEI is using it as a dogwhistle. It's like saying ”Does being against the globalists automatically mean I'm a Nazi?”.

    Funny that you bring up being Danish, the main reason Denmark has been in the news in recent years is for being racist as hell, so maybe that's not how most of you have been operating.

    You’re deeply unserious if you’re actually bringing up Jon Stewart and John Oliver.

    Since you’re such a big fan, maybe you can tell me when Stewart is gonna apologize for that horrible transphobic joke he did about 20 years ago?


  • and started actually thinking wiseau was some auteur with an interesting vision and not the talentless bully he seems to be

    Exactly, I don't get it because people like…I dunno, Cronenberg or whoever were able to get interesting stories out of student films on a shoestring budget. Wiseau was able to buy high-tier equipment (even if he had no clue on how to use it), and the best he could come up with, and he did seriously think The Room was his masterpiece, was shit-tier sexist nonsense.

    Plus, from contemporary accounts he was a creep and an asshole to the people on set.


  • The one major criticism I have of Last Action Hero is that the tone is inconsistent, it clearly wants to be a kids' movie with the child sidekick and the magic ticket premise, but at the same time most of the humor isn't really aimed at kids. The reason the video games weren't allowed to have guns was also because Arnold was trying to cultivate a more kid-friendly image, which seems like a weird pivot in hindsight. It's not like most of Schwarzenegger's movies were kid-friendly at all, although Terminator 2 toys and video games were very successful, so I can see how they could've seen this panning out.






  • I will always defend Last Action Hero, but people probably weren't prepared for Arnold to make an 80s action movie spoof in 1993. Plus there were some baffling marketing moves like the video games not being allowed to have the main character use guns (even though Jack Slater used guns in the movie).
