RIP Eric Bauza, the man who brought the Mel Blanc scream back to the Looney Tunes and so much more.

The McWorld campaign was essentially McDonalds' version of jumping on the "xtreme" bandwagon of the mid-90s and produced some memorable commercials ("hey, it could happen"). This sign used to be bolted to a countertop display, usually advertising the latest Nickelodeon Magazine.

While the content of the argument is so comically histrionic that it's not worthy of a response (nobody but a teenage girl who massively overestimates her own intelligence would believe this) I think it's very interesting to analyse from a culturally epistemological perspective.
What far left liberalism and the woke era did in terms of its effects on our intellectual environment is create a culture where people feel the need to find and point out new ways in which they're oppressed. This activity brings them social recognition amongst their peers and praise for finding more doomer porn for their group to self victimise over. Everything is about maximising your feelings of victimhood and resentment against the out group. This is the exact same function "we wuz kangs" works off.
The culture that pedestalises victim cards. A superculture which intrinsically incentivises being a loser, weak, disempowered, upset, mentally ill, unhealthy and antisocial. These "discoveries" of "misogyny" in mundane subtleties of life is nothing more than we wuzzing and should be treated as such.

A telling development: per Bloomberg, Paramount now says it will “pay” $30 million per film if they fall short of their 30 film *distribution* pledge.
Who will they pay? The crews they would have hired? The theater owners with empty seats? No. It will be some fund that a government official has to then distribute. Rent is due on the 1st of the month, not two years from now.
And they’re no longer even pledging to *make* 30 films a year. Just to distribute that amount; as Marla points out, this would include re-releases.
All of this is of course ambiguous and tbd but this is not good. Like most behavioral remedies, it will be next to impossible to meaningfully enforce, and even then, enforcement will be difficult and after the fact.
