Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what

Fucking up so bad that scenes like this don't exist in the movie is a travesty
Inserting this into The Electric State tag to get people to read the book. So many cool fucking scenes in the book that weren't included in the movie. Such a shame.
Iterators but theyre a massive fackin war llama from the hit game Ultrakill
The Murder Drones fandom just keeps making great content
I imagine the DD’s get a little overstimulated in their new enclosure
The reviews are out and... Fucking hell.
I expected it would be like this. What a damn disappointment.
At least the reviews are rightfully ripping into this travesty of a film.
It's what it deserves for butchering one of my favorite books with a $320M budget.
Haha what the fuck do you mean that allegedly the Philippine government's no longer recognizing medicated ADHD people as a "Person with Disability" and are now barring them from getting disability cards what the fuck
English translation under the image
Original Tweet: Apparently medicated people with ADHD are allegedly no longer allowed to get PWD (Persons with Disability) cards especially since they can cope. Is it really like that it's like if you said "you don't really have diabetes because you have insulin" Reddit Screenshot: i went to the pdao (Persons with Disability Affairs Office) then i gave them my medical certificate. then the staff asked if i can cope [with my ADHD]. i wasn't able to answer quickly then they said that medicated people with adhd who can cope weren't entitled to pwd cards. that's apparently the new rule when applying for pwd cards. i wasn't able to answer anything because what else could i do, right. after that they said to still ask the doctor, it's a good thing the doctor allowed it and the staff even told me that "you're not really entitled to it but we'll allow it for now." i said thank you even passive-aggressively hahahah but in my opinion even if you're medicated, you should still be entitled to get a card. because adhd medication still has a shortage. and symptoms of depression would start manifesting when you don't have medication. it's like they're downplaying the hardships of people with adhd
Like this is just straight up appalling. and to have the GOVERNMENT [allegedly] be the ones doing this kind of shit is disgusting. They're basically saying that if you have medication, that means you don't have the condition anymore which is absurd. It also makes me fear that a lot of people with ADHD who may want to at least try if they could perform better with medication would refuse to take them specifically because they might lose their government benefits. This is disgusting.
A lawyer's advice regarding this issue:
Please keep this in mind and don't let them trample on your rights!
guys, i really think it was a miscommunication when that rich and powerful 28 year old man put his hands under the shirt of that 18 year old woman at a party. you can tell it was a harmless accident because their stories almost add up, except for the parts that he’s lied about. i just wish she would have privately messaged him instead of dragging it out into the public. this whole thing could have been avoided. i respect her point of view, but she’s making a way bigger deal out of this than it needs to be. stop calling it sexual assault, that’s so insensitive to real victims. did you know she was drunk? i really hope he can learn and grow and heal from this misunderstanding. her friends shouldn’t have made her go forward with this, it just hurts everyone involved. they’re such clout chasers. people only hate him because they resent his success. if he was saying and doing bad things to women behind the scenes, don’t you think we would know? he said she was flirting with him the whole time. why didn’t she say anything while it was happening? he was drunk, so how was he supposed to know she was uncomfortable? his heart was in the right place. i feel so bad for him, he must be going through such a tough time right now. it’s so hard to become rich and famous so fast when you’re that young, and to have everyone expecting you to be perfect all the time! everyone makes mistakes. i’m gonna keep supporting him until we know the full truth! i’m so glad we can all see this situation with nuance :)
I'm showing up to this topic three years late, but the overrall fandom response to Scott's response about his political donations is really strange to me in hindsight.
I guess I'm not super surprised that people took his words of not being racist or queerphobic at face-value, but I am disappointed.
At best, we don't know the guy, and being able to evaluate whether he definitively is or is not bigoted is just something that's hard to do with the limited information we have, especially since we don't know how genuine his online persona is. He doesn't elaborate very much on his political views in his reddit post [link] other than specifically saying he's a Christian republican and pro-life.
But even beyond that, most white, allocishet, able-bodied, and otherwise privileged people will deny any accusations of bigotry without reflecting on themselves first, because acknowledging the bigoted things we are taught and complacent in immediately feels like an attack. It takes conscious work to actually respond in a constructive, repairative way to that, and Scott's post feels really dismissive, especially in that he outright refuses to apologize for supporting the candidates in question. The whole post had a "I'm sorry you feel that way" overtone, which is not a proper apology let alone a solution. I feel that someone genuinely invested in disproving those accusations, i.e. not because it hurts their ego, but because it hurts others, would put more care into their response.
Not to mention, even if Scott genuinely isn't queerphobic, and especially if he isn't racist, it's not enough to not be those things. You have to actively unlearn and fight against them. I will give Scott that he has supported organizing against queerphobia with donations to the Trevor Project, but I'm not sure if he has supported any antiracist organizations or movements.
He states he supported a politician thinking they could help "bring the Black community out of poverty," but doesn't elaborate further. From what I understand, that's not necessarily an acknowledgment of systemic racism, as many racists will acknowledge that Black people struggle, but then deny that it's the fault of systemic oppression.
Regardless, neither of these erase his donations to queerphobic and racist politicians. And his admitted pro-life stance is most definitely informed by some amount of misogyny, which is rampant in American Christian spaces.
That's really a lot of words to say that as much as Scott defined our childhood and seems like a nice guy, we shouldn't take his statements at face value at all. We have little information, and what we do have doesn't seem to paint a pretty picture.
It's been three years and I can only hope his opinions and donation patterns have changed, but without any solid evidence, I don't feel comfortable giving him money or benefit of the doubt.
Can everyone PLEASE leave Illymation tf alone?
"She used clickbait in her video" UM in some states they stupidly classify removing tumors from your uterus as an abortion because they're "living and growing" EVEN IF THEY ARE DANGEROUS.
Somebody made a video tearing apart her Being the Fat Kid video and even stooped low to the point of making fun of her posture, clothes, skin, and glasses. Idfc if you are doing it in the name of being "health conscientious," you don't insult people's appearance, especially if it's not related to the topic at hand. And yes she takes selfies of herself with fast food, but that's not the ONLY food she eats and her drawing herself with Frosted Flakes and the end title with various food that's not 100 percent healthy. It's a cartoon she's not actually eating that.
Also, her videos aren't aimed at kids that's just her artstyle, moreso 13+. You're assuming all cartoons are for kids based on her style.
And your reaction to her responding how one would normally reply to this is to call her a crybully.
Do you research and grow tf up people.
