Dean Cain can lick a sweaty nutsack. An embarrassment in the history of Superman casting.
Him and Kevin Sorbo can lick boots together while they swap stories about how they used to play strong guys on TV but now spend their time being weak-willed sheep IRL.
Ironically, ICE Barbie would be deported form Barbieland
On the one hand, I do not want politicians’ opinions to constantly chase polling numbers. They shouldn’t cynically change their views like their underwear as it suits their electability, only learn and evolve gradually as we all do. And when they firmly believe in something, they should have principles and stand by those principles. For those that are doing that, I admire their resolve and integrity. On the other hand, their principles are shit, and they need to go.
Unlimited tax free contributions to a Satanic Temple sponsored Super PAC? And I can write off my donations as charitable since they go to a religious organization? It’s fucked up, but that is absolutely what the Evangelicals and Mormons are about to do. Let’s make them regret it.
AFAIK, current Supes is perpetually 28ish. So, he was born/arrived under Bill Clinton’s administration. But Trump is trying to denaturalize people who have birthright citizenship without citizen parentage, so i dont think it matters.
Pfft, you think the Trump administration would give him the benefit of the doubt.
Is thst still canon? I know it was officially changed at least by New 52 to be baby Kal-El in the ship from Krypton again. And then Post-Crisis canon was merged with New 52 Canon with Rebirth and Doomsday Clock, but I haven’t read a comic in years now. No idea what they settled on as his new origin. Either way though, non-lawful entry or born here with non-citizen birth parents, he would be considered an illegal or stateless immigrant under the current government. There is no getting around that Republicans.
Thank you for the good faith response.
Update: only just got a chance to watch it and his “eat my entire ass comment” seems not to be related to the initiative itself but to the way Ross framed how the initiative was going to be easy to make into law becuase of a bunch of really weird reasons unrelated to the merit of the initiative that seemed very backhanded and sketchy. I completely agree that Ross’s comment were incredibly slimy and cynical even as I still mostly agree with the initiative. Just seems like people are taking the comment out of that context and getting pissed over something he didnt actually say or mean about the initiative itself. And, as i said before, I couldn’t give two fucks about personal beef between creators. I know nothing about Ross Scott and have only seen him in this context.
That’s a pretty twisted way to view the world. We are fundamentally different kinds of people. I think are done here. No way we will agree on anything if that’s how you think.
My point was that this rage mill has produced a lot of extreme negativity and this post, among others, and the comment thread within, is propogating it. And, as far as I can tell, it is over, at best, Thor taking the possibilities of this petition as written to the extreme to illustrate his concerns for its vagueness. And even if he is dead wrong, completely mistaken, and now knows it and won’t admit to it, that does not, in anyway, justify the position he is put in now. I’m not say that you personally support him being swatted, or getting death threats, but not letting this shit go after a year of bullshit, letting it fester and boosting the rage, that’s what leads to that shit. Just let it go.
Thank you for the link.
And you don’t have to try and strawman this. I have neither harassed, swated, or made any threats, at all, against him. Nor have I ever advocated for it. I have also not claimed anyone deserves that treatment.
Didn’t say that you are. But for some reason you are arguing with me while I’m just saying that he doesn’t deserve all that. If we agree on that don’t know why you’re concerned with my comments.
Again, I ask. Who cares? Like you said, he’s just about the only one in opposition. The Petition is successful. His career is in shambles. Why is everyone still shitting on the guy. Why are people still posting about him and harassing him and the studio he worked for. Why not just move on even though he continues to disagree with you. How does that affect anyone now?
Where do you get that I’m picking fights? I’m telling people they need to calm down over a complete non-issue. Feel free to browse my post history to confirm. Scroll past the mayo jokes and discourse around time travel and spacetime.
And yeah, rage mill. Googling this story shows dozens and dozens of angry response videos or celebrating the SKG milestone as a victory over PirateSoftware, hundreds of hate posts calling him a liar (about seemingly everything, not just this), and a ton of news stories about the situation, about death threats and swatting and the guy stepping away from his indie studio over an opinion he expressed on a topic relevant to his work a year ago. Yes, rage mill.
You act like I’m living in the same rage mill you all are. Clearly I’m not. I’m familiar with PirateSoftware, but I dont follow all this shit. It is rage that has apparently been festering over a year and I am only just learning about it over the last week or two as the petition was hitting its goal, much of which I spent 16+ days working in the family fireworks stores. I am also at work now, about to leave. I googled the quote on my lunch break and couldn’t find the video. Forgive me for asking for a source so I could see for myself.
“This initiative can eat my ass, the whole thing. It can eat my entire ass”
Do you have the clip/video source of this quote? I didn’t see him say that in his critique videos I watched. I need context to judge it.
But at face value, I would still call that within the realms of normal criticism yes. He disagrees with the basis of the initiative. And disagreement doesn’t mean that one or the other party is necessarily mistaken or that they are maliciously refusing to admit their mistake if unconvinced. They can just disagree. And even if they were being malicious or ignorant or too embarassed to admit their mistake, so what? Just don’t engage, or argue in good faith. No need to swat the guy, make death threats, make weird personal attacks against him, or drag his name through the dirt across the entire internet because he is wrong or doesn’t suck it up and tell you that you are right.
So “eat my entire ass” is not inflammatory now?
Do you have the clip/video source of this quote? I didn’t see him say that in his critique videos I watched. I need context to judge it.
Can you or someone share those slides, becuase I’m not seeing that either. I looked at the English language initiative text on the website on my lunch break and did not see them.
Tbf, if it comes to that, any nation or cooperative group of nations can do this without US law doing a damn thing.
The quintessential symbol of heroism, of ‘The American Way’, Superman, was created during the rise of fascism and nazism by two Midwestern Jewish boys, one of whom had immigrated from Canada and whose parents were immigrants from Russia and The Netherlands. In the story introducing their character to the world, he saves a wrongly convicted woman from execution, stops a wife beater from killing his wife, and stops a slimy lobbyist and corrupt senator from roping the US into a war with Europe. i.e. it acknowledges that the justice system gets it wrong, that women can be abused and endangered by their husbands, and that congress has a huge corruption and bribery problem. Sounds pretty fucking woke to me. And a few years later had him literally punch Hitler. The idea that they didnt have anything to say with the character about prejudice, about immigrants adopting their new home and being adopted in turn, about politics, is fucking laughable… “too woke”. No, Dean, you’re too ignorant to think that he ever wasn’t “woke”.
