@TheTNHoller @RepMcKenzie @GinoBulso Poor widdle Gino is mad that the smart successful Black woman got her BA & JD from Harvard, while he was relegated to insignificant Cornell College in Iowa for his BPh & Emory for his JD. Envy Green is such an ugly color, Gino.

@TheTNHoller @RepMcKenzie @GinoBulso It’s remarkable to see the absolute confidence as he spouts his complete nonsense. This ghoul promotes his dog whistle racism with the kind of hubris that only the privilege that wealthy male whiteness can bring.

“TOTALLY VILE.” @RepMcKenzie reacts to @GinoBulso saying Charlie Kirk opposing the Civil Rights Act can’t be racist because some Dems opposed it. (forgetting the Dixiecrats switched parties🤔) Gino also says systemic racism doesn’t exist… and disparages Ketanji Brown Jackson.

@BCBST I thought about responding to you for a few days, but I already know what you’re gonna say, so what’s the point? “That’s our policy“ and you’re not going to change it. Telling me you’d like to look into it is simply performative so you don’t look like the assholes you truly are.

On the phone with @bcbst for and 1.5 hrs asking why they denied medication and services, and why my OOP costs were $300 for a nerve diagnostic. Telling me it's the policy without providing evidentiary reasoning for the policy is not an answer. What can lawful experience.

@TheB1GTerp @Bmac0507 You and your toxic ilk don’t own the fandom any more than the social justice culture warriors you rail against. You don’t like it anymore because of these decisions? Fine don’t watch it. But don’t try to ruin it for everyone else just because your racist feelings got hurt.

@TheB1GTerp @Bmac0507 Worse, you want to gatekeep fandom of the IP to only what you perceive. You’re like Spider-Man “fans“ who bitched and moaned about Tobey Maguire‘s organic web shooters. Or Star Wars fans complained about Asian women. That’s not reasonable dude that’s toxic asf.

@TheB1GTerp @Bmac0507 Newsflash snowflake: if your fandom of a particular IP is so fragile that a race swap or slight change in characterization is enough to make you go apoplectic and fall into conniptions, you’re probably not a real fan of the IP.

@TheB1GTerp @Bmac0507 And this is why you didn’t actually cite your quote, because you’re misrepresenting the context of it. It wasn’t about Essiedu portraying a race swapped Snape, but her disagreements with his positions on trans rights. 🙄

She wrote: “I don’t have the power to sack an actor from the series and I wouldn’t exercise it if I did. I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs or livelihoods because they hold legally protected beliefs that differ from mine.” This was in response to reports about potential tension over differing views. So yea she was out of loop for a reason.

@TheB1GTerp @Bmac0507 She’s an executive producer on the series, so she must’ve given her tacit approval to his casting. If the creator says OK, then who are you to say otherwise?

Hogwarts Legacy also defies the “go woke, go broke” trend. It is one of the wokest games I have ever played; as obnoxious about it as Last of Us 2. It depicts a nineteenth century Hogwarts that is about 60% nonwhite. One of the major characters is an African exchange student. A character whose job in the game is to run a series of side quests about solving puzzles in the environment randomly informs you that she is gay. The Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade is run by a non-passing transwoman named Sirona Ryan and there is a sidequest where you collect lost letters to learn the story of Sirona’s transition.

Hogwarts Legacy sold 40M copies, even with a performative internet boycott. The Harry Potter series could be the biggest series in HBO history.

@Cjpearson A plumber likely makes a heck of a lot more than the producer who wrote this “joke.” The elitism is so grating.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

@Bmac0507 You know how you start by making it good? Cast correctly. This will be a negative effect on the show, same way Zendaya is a negative effect on Dune trilogy.
