Line #35 Quotes/UnfortunateImplications


1	!!In General
2	->It remains the case today that too warm an enthusiasm for the "Germanic" past can raise suspicions (often justified) of [[ThoseWackyNazis unsavoury politics]]: the subject remains a fecund repository for the imagery of racist propaganda. This taint is one of the quietest, most tenacious and most ironic legacies of [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany the Third Reich]].

9	->We're back. And I think we're in [[LivingMacGuffin Itsuki]]'s house. What bothers me though is that [[MagicalGirl Mikuru]], who's been carried here by Itsuki, looks like she's just gotten out of the bath. Maybe we're supposed to think that she was given a bath by Itsuki while she was unconscious? [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You've got to be kidding me!]] Then [[DudeShesLikeInAComa this would be the point]] where anyone's doubt turns into a [[UnstoppableRage white hot rage]], building into a desire to kill. [[MST3KMantra But for now, I will not give it much thought]], doing away with all the emotions that might be bubbling up. We are, after all, just watching a movie with actors playing characters. This isn't reality, right?

19	->'''Dick Samuels:''' Okay, so [Meg]'s a stand-in for countless other girls. It's a trope, really. She's this troubled white girl who's so beaten down that she decides to [[DrivenToSuicide end it all]], right?\
20	'''Raymond Ainsley:''' But... she isn't white anymore.\
21	'''Dick Samuels:''' Exactly. So it's no longer a trope. Instead, it's a new story about a colored girl who... worked and worked and worked, and she never got the career she deserved, so she decides to stop fighting and end it all. That's-- that's troubling to me. This picture starts with a young Meg looking up at a stage. Well, what are we saying to a young colored girl looking up at Meg, up there on the screen? "Oh, fight for a while, but then give up."

32	->'Oh, by the way,' he said, 'what do you call yourselves?' Well, we looked at him and Mister Stephen J. Butts here looked at [[AmbiguouslyJewish Kenny Greengrass from New York City]] when asked 'what do you call yourselves' and said:\
33	'The [[UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan Clansmen]].'\
34	Kenny turned absolutely white. And Butts said:\
35	'With a C. With a '''C'''!'\
36	And Kenny looked at us white as a sheet — [[NotHelpingYourCase whoa, bad analogy!]] — and said, 'Not with a C, not with a P, not with a Q, you're not the Clansmen! Now go get another name, we gotta have something to put on this demo.'\

73	->The one character labeled 'wife' is raped and murdered. Two out of three of the characters labeled 'father' kill each other after reuniting with their estranged sons. And the one woman labeled 'divorcee' is revealed to be [[HystericalWoman a violent psychopath]]. Whenever she engages in or discusses this [[{{Yandere}} violent psychopathic behavior]], the comic always shows us a close-up of a magazine cover picturing her, with the words '[[StayInTheKitchen On Divorce]]' printed big.

75
76	->The most obvious worrying aspect of the production is that [[WeAreEverywhere it seems that every black person in Harlem, the Caribbean, or New Orleans is involved somehow in the big bad’s evil plans]]. In fact, during a boat chase near the climax of the film, we’re shown that there are literally dozens of goons just sitting around on the rivers of Louisiana, waiting to be instructed to hunt down and kill errant British agents. If Bond randomly gets into a taxi, the black driver is a double agent.

82	->The finish was infuriating to me ... it was even at one fall apiece and then, at the end ... Kidd and Cesaro have it won all of a sudden Wrestling/XavierWoods pulls [[Wrestling/KofiKingston Kofi]] out of the ring and then ... rolls up one of them, you know, rolls him up hiding his face. The referee looks, sees a black man pinning one of the other guys, counts the three, New Day wins. I'm not minimising when I say he turns around and sees a black man pinning a guy. Because [[PhenotypeStereotype apparently all black people look the same]], because Xavier Woods just runs in and pins the guy, and so the referee looks over and he goes "Hmm, black" and just counts three. Nice, very nice.

88	->Extrapolating from the trailer (which is what trailers are for), ''Film/NoEscape2015'' is the heroic struggle of a white man to defend his white woman and white girls from filthy foreigners. [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Every single one of them]], apparently. When they printed the script for ''No Escape'', the pages got whiter. If ''No Escape's'' mentality was any more ancient it would have been a better movie, because the white family sailing off the edge of the world would have run into "Here, There Be Dragons" and found some potatoes.

101	->[[Series/{{Glee}} One episode]] revolved around a Jewish girl wanting a nose job to look like one of the white characters and actually, sincerely included a duet of the two girls singing "Unpretty"/"I Feel Pretty." Now I'm not one for subtext, but I think the genuine sentiment here from the show was that you can be pretty, even as a Jew. That wasn't what they meant, but it's exactly what they said. Hey Jew, don't feel bad you look so Jewish, you're beautiful. We're all beautiful just the way we are, even if we're not normal. Hell, the episode this happened in was called "Born This Way."

108	->''The finale seems to negate all the messages of the movie, and offers up one that's so ugly in its worldview that it borders on offensive. ''(Spoiler alert! as they say.)'' Jason's prize for completing all tasks is a big check for $100 million. (Yes, they print up a cashier's check for the full amount so Jason can hold it and we can all see it, because that's how this movie works.) He then donates all that cash to build a memorial hospital for dying kids in [the dead LittlestCancerPatient]'s name. After he does, it's revealed, "Brewster's Millions"-style, that Jason passed the final test and will receive "The Ultimate Gift," which turns out to be billions of dollars. And suddenly everything's great for Jason.''\
109	''Um, hey, how about this instead: you make an inspirational movie about healing and growth, and at the end, the gift is something internal, like being nice to people or not being a [[{{Jerkass}} jackass]] anymore. That's a message worth hearing. Having your hero wind up a billionaire suggests we should all do good things solely in the hope of landing a monetary reward. Ugh.''\
110	''[[AccidentalAesop I don't think that was the movie's intent]], of course, but still. How utterly, hopelessly horrid. Then again, what would you expect? Here's a movie that forces people to learn lessons, instead of letting them figure things out. When Jason arrives at "the gift of giving," it's not because he realizes how important it is to help others — it's because he's told he has one month to give away a big stack of cash.''

The final total was '''three:''' a female astronaut at the start who immediately dies, one helicopter that spoke with a woman's voice, and [[TokenMinority a black member of the Ghosts unit]] [[BlackDudeDiesFirst who immediately dies]]. And frankly, when that happens, the main characters displayed less emotion than when their dog got shot. "Dammit, the black guy died!" they seem to say. "Now we can't claim to have tons of black friends while arguing on the internet!"''

125
126	->''What I really want to hone in on is this book's use of the PsychoLesbian trope. Essentially, it's exactly what it sounds like — when a woman who is attracted to other women is portrayed as evil, unhinged, dangerous, and predatory. Her homosexuality (or bisexuality, or whatever) makes her "crazy," and her "craziness" makes her evil. So it manages to pull off that fun little trick of being homophobic and ableist in one fell swoop! This trope has been around since fiction was allowed to acknowledge that gay people exist, and fortunately, [[DeadHorseTrope it's dying]]. Unfortunately, it is a slow, slow death. That's not to say no lesbians in fiction can ever be villainous, but it's definitely not okay to have only one gay character, and for that character to just so haaaaaaappen to be the bad guy. And gay women in particular get a bad reputation for being predatory towards other women — and the character in this book fits that stereotype (that harmful, untrue stereotype) to a tee.''

134
135	->But it's not just that the adaptation is wildly off-base with [Batgirl's] characterization. Literally the only character trait or aspect of her personality the movie cares about is her sex life, there are a boatload of shots objectifying her and focusing on her ass, and again, her entire motivation for everything she does boils down to pining for her boyfriend. Boiling Barbara's character down to just a sex life and repeatedly objectifying her ''[[StuffedInTheFridge as the lead-in to a story where she's sexually humiliated and discarded as a cheap plot device]]'' REALLY doesn't help the misogynistic vibes of the material.
136	-->-- '''WebVideo/DarkLordJadow1''' reviewing ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke''
137
138	->This [series] should be the perfect set-up for a scabrous look at prejudice, corruption, the trading of sexual currency, coercion, the well-oiled machinations that underlie an industry and how it all shapes history — all through a [=#MeToo=] lens. But it becomes a mere wish-fulfilment fantasy that, whether it intends to or not, suggests that if a few people had just been that bit braver, then movies — and therefore the world! — would be a glorious, egalitarian Eden. It is a show that is smug and obtuse enough to believe la la land's self-regarding idea that celluloid art directly shapes our lives.

141	->What I'm saying is that [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica the show]] is pretty sexist. It's parroting a number of toxic themes that we've seen a million times before: women should be [[DamselInDistress helpless victims]], if we give women power, they will inevitably [[UnstablePoweredWoman turn evil, destroy the world, and fuck everything up]]; women should be selfless, if a woman [[AmbitionIsEvil reaches out for something she wants]], then she's being selfish, which will destroy the world and fuck everything up; any woman who reaches out for power or something she wants [[StayInTheKitchen must be punished horribly]].
