Gunn made it about our politics

Lefties started calling Superman an illegal alien, to own the right.

I pointed out that his status is actually covered in the source material.

In the source material, he is adopted by 2 US citizens, and is therefore a US citizen. He was never an illegal immigrant. He was a refugee for a few hours, then a citizen.

I wasn't using US law to reconcile, I was using the source material.

I know. And I 100% agree with you.

Let's look at our Topics lists and see which of us starts conversations about trans and social issues and which of us starts topics about movies and television. For someone who doesn't want there to be an arbiter of discussion, you sure do your part in guiding TD in one direction.

I just went through my Topics I have started on this board.

Went back a year, every one was about movies, shows or the movie industry.

Not one over trannies or gays.



You far left wokies are as bad as the anti-wokes. . .and it makes you mad when I won't concede otherwise

When I am calling out SEK or any of the others for dishonest or wrong shite. . . you are quiet or cheering it on

When I call out your side is when you guys start grouping me in with MAGA, anti-wokes, Nerdrotic sycophants, etc.

I take a pretty neutral fan-centric point of view that is all my own.

The wokes and the anti-wokes have this "if you aren't with us, you are against us" binary

Both of your tribal mentalities have created the environment you don't like. . .but you just want the one group gone.

I wish all the tribalism would stop, but since it won't, I will exist in this space as I always have.

Since 2006.

You don't like it? Eat a dick, Mary.

ETA: I used "Mary" instead of the F-word, since you take great personal offense to the usage such terms. See? I have grown

I never looked at Superman as an immigrant either. Yes, he is an alien, but he was adopted by an American family and in all tense and purpose was raised a 'Murican. I've always viewed Superman as a symbol of American exceptionalism. James Gunn is trying to retcon for some woke kudos.

what phobes were you referring to if not homophobes?

and how is that not about gays?

bullshite. I see a thread you started about the J.K. Rowling trans activist getting arrested as a pedo, Your famous "If you don't like Iron-Heart you're a racist" thread. Your sarcastic "Women can do whatever men can do" thread. Your love to start topics to stir shite about politics and social issues.

Just a heads up.

Watched Chris Gore, a right wing guy, talking about the interview,

he said in relation to the movie the interview is rage bait, and ignore it.

He said the guy saying it is political revolves around Superman being asked to stop a war between "not Israel" and "not Palestine"

Big nothing burger.

This is why I say I will wait and see.

Because I actually fricking look with an open mind.

An anathema to you and your kind, I know.

I stand by that. Media calling out fans preemptively is a real issue.

Which was the point of the thread, as I explicitly stated numerous times in same thread

quote:

Woman can do anything
On the OT. . .and has nothing to do with gays or trannies

It was about what I thought was a funny bit on Tosh.0

Comedy stuff

From comedians and shite

Because he’s not an immigrant, he’s an extraterrestrial. Huge difference

How is being called something about something else?

If I call you a homophobe, is that about gays? Or am I making an insinuation about you and your feelings towards gays.

The point of the thread, as I spelled out in the same thread numerous times. . .and again in here. . . was about the media calling out fans before shows even drop.

Now on the OT, I am a madman

Now it is just la bunch of tone-policing and pearl-clutching
