That is all.
haaaaa
Aye, not bad for someone with ‘obvious double standards’ for posting an article in which the quality or of it was not mentioned/commented upon at all - and one you seeming haven’t read yet going on ‘From Dre’s cited text, looks like an god awful, elitist article’.
I did read it, and it is an god awful, elitist article. Not for defending TLJ obviously, but for the utter contempt it displays towards a part of the fan base. I didn’t find those very intriguing thoughts and takes, more like insulting to be honest. There have been articles posted here on TLJ, that were harsh on the film (not on the fan base), that have been treated far less kindly than this one.
The double standard is evident.
Like I said, I have run into pricks who treated my opinion with a lot of contempt for liking the movie but it seems that on OT.com that oojason as an moderator constantly jumps in to defend the movie against any critical opinion or crack down on people linking to critical articles/videos. Just in general, it seems that there is a bias and double standard against people who are critical of TLJ. This is coming from someone who loves the movie.
Ha. Not at all. I don’t constantly jump in to defend the movie - as previously said I have issues with the movie - though I enjoyed it overall. There’s also a few good critiques of TLJ in here (video & article links as well as members’ posts)- and I have no issues with them - nor anyone’s opinion of TLJ (trolls and wums apart). I do recall we did ask for the repetition of the political aspects to stop - and I think we asked for some consideration to focusing on what people like about things too - amongst the negative mentions, when the thread seems to take a negative turn for a while - the fiends!
I do call out a few clickbait youtube videos with misleading titles or content - or those videos that do contain political content (as requested by Jay that the political content in this thread stop - we’d already been through it, repeatedly, as mentioned above).
For example - on the clikbait side of things… not so long ago Gothamknight posted about this video:-
‘The Last Jedi - The More Rian Johnson Talks, The Worse He Makes Things’ from ‘Geeks and Gamers’.
I stated I couldn’t get past 25 seconds or something, explained why here and that was that - it wasn’t a ‘don’t watch this video - it has a negative opinion of TLJ’, was it It just wasn’t for me - though doesn’t mean that it’s not for others to enjoy, does it?
I didn’t even point out they are the ones behind this shite youtube cover for clickbait:-
and seemingly love a good mention of a mary sue, sjw and kathleen kennedy for other clickbaity videos etc. You know why? I’m not that arsed about it - it’s not my thing; I don’t like it - fair play if it’s theirs or others - though I am thankful (personally) no-one has posted it here.
If you want to go through this thread looking for me apparently bashing youtube videos as some sort of proof I ‘constantly jump[s] in to defend the movie against any critical opinion or crack down on people linking to critical articles/videos’ you go ahead, and I’ll even state why I said what I did about each (If I can remember) - though you’ll have to go find them as I can’t be arsed to - because I’m not arsed about people’s opinions of TLJ, y’see?
I’m not even that arsed about that article I linked to earlier today - I posted it as I thought it had some ‘intriguing thoughts and takes’ - and some people may be interested to read it… a bit like how I post art, posters, gifs, covers, articles, news and other links across the boards here.
But instead I’m wasting time pointing stuff like this out to people instead of enjoying my Friday night… ('cos they didn’t like or agree with it - as a whole or anything about it, and that’s my fault for ‘jumping to the defence of TLJ from critical opinion or something’). I can certainly see who so many see this thread as toxic and avoid it like the plague - I only wish I could, though does serve as a welcome reminder to not post in here if I can help it.
