Tip for movie, game, comic studios: Don't make products for audiences that don't exist. Like it or not, your primary demographic is dudes under 30 with money to spend. If that upsets you, you're in the wrong business. These young men want to see: • Powerful heroes who are smart and/or punch super hard • Intimidating villains with clever, evil plans • Hot chicks shaking ass and/or booba There's no point making capeshit movies for women in their 40s, especially not for budgets over 100m. What that audience wants is: • Vampire romance • Monster romance • Romance involving spanking • Romance where they're forced to wear red dresses and breed for evil, powerful men Although this advice can save you millions of dollars, I offer it to you for free. Please contact my secretary for my rates regarding further consultation.

I don't watch porn myself but my position is: unless it involves real-life children (in which case, a crime has been committed) I think it should be no one else's business what people choose to watch. We should police people's ACTIONS, not their thoughts, desires and fantasies.

This will be the sixth time we have destroyed the DC cinematic universe, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

The Gunn jammed. Justice has been served

Remarkable how much Korean and Japanese cinema is leaving Hollywood behind in the dust. Hope the raceswapping and shoving leftwing propaganda down everyone's throats was worth it

The government isn't supposed to solve every problem in your life. That's what family, neighbors, churches, and communities are for.

This right here. You see it all the time now: one moment they're all "love and empathy and tolerance for cultural difference," the next they're taking sadistic delight in, or even calling for, the literal murder of people who don't agree with them. Moronic, narcissistic sadists.

This kind of retardation is why you cannot write, and thus why, in 14 years on this platform, you have only accumulated an audience of 2000. You don't understand what the basic task of fiction writing even is. It's empathizing in two directions at once. You have to empathize with the characters, to know what they are thinking and feeling, what they want and why, so you know what happens in the story. And you have to empathize with the audience, so you know how to tell it. Except you cannot empathize with half the human race, because your overt ideology prevents you from admitting its very existence. You cannot make the effort to understand how men and boys see the world, what men and boys want, what men and boys believe, what men and boys are interested in, or what men and boys will do, if you cannot acknowledge that "men and boys" is an distinct category of people that exist, and therefore is possible to know things about. Of course, you do not actually believe that boys are indistinct from girls. No one believes that. If you believed that, you would not be able to engage with the question "Why are boys not reading?" because the very question is an admission that there is something distinct about certain children that makes them boys and not girls. No, what you actually believe is "If I acknowledge the differences between boys and girls, I will be punished by my social group." This belief is true. But so what? It's entirely your fault that you chose a social group which makes such ridiculous demands. MY social group doesn't demand I pretend to believe silly things. You don't actually have to play this game anymore, you know. You can just stop. Sure, some people you know will say mean things to you, but you and I both know they kinda do a lot of that already just because of the kind of people they are. You and I also both know they would throw you under a bus in microsecond if some innovation in the mandatory belief system rewarded them for doing so. So, in addition to not having an audience, you don't even have all that many friends, for much the same reason. You may wish to reconsider whether the juice is actually worth the squeeze.

writing about "boy stuff" is exactly how you get young boys to read. They read comics for decades, and read Shounen manga today because it's made for teen boys. There will always be a bit of a gender divide, and that's ok, so long as neither group is excluded (1)

This is what the ugly commie lesbians at Disney took from you.

When more people have this perspective, then we can have nice things again.

What's a polite way to say, "I'm not having this conversation with you because your entire understanding of the subject is built on so many layers of misinformation that correcting you would require a full factory reset of your worldview and I simply do not have the desire or time"?

Anyone else feel compelled to have to add multiple softeners/buffers to beginning of statements to avoid people freaking out otherwise? "I think," "I think it may be, but I could be wrong". Making a definitive statement without pre-confessing fallibility repeatedly is like a mine field these days. -J
