Hundreds of anti-Zionist Jews and allies just took over NBC’s famed 30 Rockefeller Center headquarters in NYC to disrupt President Biden’s appearance on @LateNightSeth

Hey, I just want to say that any trans person who puts themselves at risk of carceral violence is so brave and dedicated I want to cry when I see it. It's a special kind of violence for them, yet trans people keep showing up on the front lines.

Incredibly based for someone in her privileged (but precarious) position to use it to fight for others.

Hideo Kojima in shambles

But seriously, good on her. I think the more celebrities publicly endorse Palestine the more libs will start paying attention to what's going on

I hate how celebrities are deified. I will always say that if Taylor Swift said communism good we'd have full communism the following week.

She'd be forced one way or another to "correct" her previous statements, you don't get to be a celebrity if you don't say what the system wants people to think

remember the Dixie Chicks #gonebutnotforgotten lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

They’re just The Chicks now but still cool as hell. Not ready to make nice slaps.

I don’t think anyone has that level of power over her to be honest. Like okay, someone tells her to “correct” those statements. Instead she tells her fans she was told to do this, and that they must take up arms to protect the United Socialist Swiftist States of America

The Vissarionovich of that revolution would name themself Swiftin. Their name will scare liberals for decades after their death.

No offense, but even the Great Man Theory is not this naive.

Do you seriously believe that an entrenched system propped up by an intricate network of institutions that serve capital can be toppled by a single celebrity?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but have you seen Swifties? God damn...

[–] [email protected] 45 points 8 months ago

I think they were exaggerating

[–] [email protected] 41 points 8 months ago

I think you underestimate the power of teen girl fandoms

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

maybe one celebrity and her peoples' army

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

Yes, we think a pop star billionaire will topple capitalism. Any other questions?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

You underestimate the raw power of a girlboss

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

what does this do with Kojima?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

He recently reposted a very horny image of Hunter out of nowhere and people were having a laugh about it on X (formerly known as twitter)

...Isn't she the lead in his upcoming game OD?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I'm not sure! I hope she is, though

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

She’s also going to be in the his new horror game

Oh yeah? Well if Hunter Schafer is so based, why is there no Gatherer Terrier? Checkmate!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

Or Scavenger Retriever! Jesus 100, atheists -175905

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

More like Gatherer Bauer, to fit the convention.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 8 months ago

Surprised that the guardian omits an opportunity to attack a trans person here, does it even mention she is trans?

OHHHH is this the american Guardian writers?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 8 months ago

She's so cool 🥰

Fucking hate Euphoria but a pleasant surprise to see another celebrity taking a stand

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Does it suck? It seems vaguely interesting and has hot people in it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It's defo interesting, some great acting and aesthetics, just often poorly/chaotically written, tries to be too many things at once, and you have a bunch 26 year olds playing 17 year olds having cocaine and hardcore sex which a lot of people find weird. It's good slop though, I had fun watching. When it's not being teen drama slop the addiction stuff and Zendaya's acting is pretty captivating. s1 was better. Audience is mostly very young

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just saw people saying the Hunter Schafer episode was really nuanced trans rep, which intrigued me. Doesn't sound like my thing. Seems like a 13 Reasons Why style show.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

You can prolly watch that special without seeing the rest of the show? Maybe watch some Jules Euphoria clips on youtube for context, but it's a therapy session so I think she explains a good amount of lore if I remember correctly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It’s just grown ass adults playing high schoolers, and all they do is fuck, do drugs, abuse and assault and kill each other, and be depressed.

Now I don’t think the premise is inherently bad, but I just hate how that’s ALL they do. Like every person is a horrid piece of shit, except for Lexi and Ethan. It seems like their lives are a never ending stream of drama that I don’t see why they didn’t just bump the setting to college where some of the actions are more fitting (e.g. in college they don’t give a fuck if you fail classes and you can hang around on campus and no one will kick you out. But somehow they’re doing a bunch of heroin and coke and other hard drugs and they seem perfectly fine in high school and no one bats an eye or questions their grades or kicks them out of school. You can also fuck and party endlessly without caring about responsibilities unlike high school). Like I think most of them are canonically in sophomore or junior year of high school lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

it'd be better than what they're doing now but pretty much all unis will put you on probation if you get below a certain GPA for a semester (usually a C or D average), and then expel you if you don't get above that the next semester (unlike public HS, which will make you do counseling but usually can't expel you for failing, you just wont grad)

plus half of the characters wouldn't even go to or get into college. maybe Rue lives with her mom doing nothing but often crashes at Jules'/Lexi's dorm?

maybe they could cast them for their actual ages and play friends/acquaintances/roommates in their mid 20s. i guess there's less structure in that tho
