I doubt anyone here would disagree (and I can't be certain that it's necessarily a risk of any kind; it may just be further symptomatic of our media being run by capitalism and we've encountered more than enough crises in the last decade stemming from that so, perhaps, nothing new) but it's tremendously annoying – if nothing else – the frequency with which – misogyny would be an accurate statement but the vindictiveness and the targets feel more in line with – incel garbage presented in a professional format (à la that "therapist" video I commented about not too long ago) keep showing up as recommendations on YouTube.
Maybe these are channels that have been around for a while and have a large audience and I just never noticed but they're always billed as these general channels with names like "The Movie Critic" and purport to be giving insight about a subject (like celebrities which destroyed their own careers) and then clearly are just creating a narrative of neutrality to dunk on women or particular women that bother them (often because those individuals deigned to exist).
The latest recommendation came out yesterday and, 1, all the celebrities who "destroyed" their careers (sans Ezra Miller) are women and the only men they provide are grouped in a short segment under "canceled" (and happen to be Keven Spacey and Jonathan Majors and, while not defending either of them, it sure is interesting that the men they decided to use are gay and black, respectively, as if it doesn't help to further round out a narrative about how our world is made worse by the presence of marginalized people).
And, if that isn't suspicious enough of the bias this Hollywood-Access–fluff-piece wannabe might have, one of the actresses who "destroyed" their career is Brie Larson; the same Larson who had two films and three television shows this year. Fucking Room Brie Larson. I'm pretty certain neither audiences nor critics nor studios are keeping their distance from her, as a performer.
Putting aside even the misogyny, this is directly trying to distort the viewer's understanding of reality because, apparently, they couldn't take Larson's comments during Captain Marvel and rewrite reality (which is pathetic, in itself – both in terms of what you'd put your finite time and energy on this world towards and just what triggers off that use of time and energy, but also just annoying in its smallness).
I guess what worries me, if it is a trend – even if not new –, is that we never actually properly tackled misinformation after 2016–2020. And, while the scale of change these videos try to accomplish is small, these things obviously build up and this is a level of effort that I haven't seen as much with the misinformation that surrounded Trump; both videos pretend to be neutral sources on topics of fairly universal concern while peddling narratives that don't even attempt to be based in reality. It's not like the posts that went around saying Hilary Clinton was buddy-buddy with a Klansman (which requires some layers to pick apart); this is someone just straight up saying a famous and well-off actress no longer has a career – the baldfacedness of it is beyond what we were seeing before and…I'm not sure that people, on average, would be able to detect the obvious bias of the video.

Review for Room
Tumblr media
Starring: Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay
Rating: 5/5
Trigger warnings: sexual assault, suicide, PTSD (minor), abduction/kidnapping
[Spoiler Free] What a gripping and heart-wrenching story but wow! Powerful. That is all I know what to say is simply POWERFUL. Be mentally prepared, but what incredible performances and storytelling. Concerning such a dark topic, it was handled with care and focused more on the survival aspects than the gruesome ones which was refreshing for a change. This movie had me in it's hold from start to finish. Amazing, amazing, amazing

its funny to me when a cartoon or something has a vague Evil Organization because a lot of fans will instantly decide that there's a whole workplace comedy happening there. those guys can't just be vaguely standing around acting evil all day they've gotta have like an evil break room or something

Y'know, there's this gripe I've had for years that really frustrates me, and it has to do with Love, Simon and people joking about it and calling it too-pg and designed-for-straight-people and all the like. (A similar thing has happened to Heartstopper, but that's another conversation.)
I saw Love, Simon in theaters when it came out my senior year in high school. I saw it three times, once with my friends/parents on opening night, once with my brother over spring break, and once with my grandparents.
On opening night, the air in the room was electric. It was palpable. Half the heads in there were dyed various colors. Queer kids were holding hands. We were all crying and laughing and cheering as a group. My friends grabbed my hands at the part where Simon was outed and didn't let go until his parents were saying that they accepted him. My friend came out to me as non-binary. Another person in our group admitted that she had feelings for girls. It was incredible. I left shaking. This was the first mainstream queer romance movie that had ever been produced by one of the main five studios, and I know that sounds like another "first queer character from Disney" bit but you have to understand that even in 2018 this was groundbreaking. Getting to have a sweet queer rom-com where the main character was told that he got "to breathe now" after coming out meant so much to me and my friends.
But also, from a designed-for-straight-people POV (which, to be frank, it was written by a bisexual author and directed by a gay man, this was not designed for straight audiences), why is it a bad thing that it appealed to the widest possible audience? That it could make my parents and grandparents see things in a new light? My stepdad wasn't at all interested in rom-coms but he saw it with me because it was something I cared about and he hugged me when we came out of the theater. My very Catholic grandparents watched it with me and though my grandpa said he still didn't quite understand the whole 'gay thing,' all he wanted was for me to be happy and to have a happy ending like Simon did. My Nana actually cried when Simon came out and squeeze my hand when his mother told him he could breathe.
And when Martin blackmailed Simon, my mom, badass ally that she is, literally hissed "Dropkick him. Dropkick him in the balls" leading to multiple queer kids in the audience to laugh or smile. Having my parents there- the only parents, by the way, out of my group of queer and questioning friends- made multiple people realize that supportive adults were out there. That parents like those in Love, Simon do exist in real life.
When people complain about Heartstopper not being realistic or Love, Simon being too cutesy, I remember seeing Love, Simon on opening night. I remember my friend coming out and my stepdad hugging me and my mom defending us through this character. I remember the cheers that went through the audience when Bram and Simon kissed and the chatter in the foyer after the movie was over and the way that this movie made me understand that happy endings do exist.
Queer kids need happy endings. Straight people need entry points to becoming allies. Both of these things can come together in beautiful ways. They can find out about more queer culture later, but for now, let them have this. Let them all have a glimpse at a better, happier world. Let them have queer joy.

i think it is so funny that adam and lawrence were given so long for their game. there are so many games that r like "do this super complicated and painful task in the next 5 minutes or you're dying horrifically!", but jigsaw lives for the drama and knew putting those two in a locked room together would be like a soap opera, so he gave them hours, just so they'd have time to air out the dirty laundry - and then gave himself front row seats. beautiful.
