      Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don’t have a safety net, they won’t be able to rebuild their lives after this.

      Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?

        So giving them money to use their burned-out land for like, 3 months, is bad? As has always been the case, “poor taste” is exceedingly impractical and negative for society.

        Using real footage of people dying really butts up against the practicality line, but why fake an explosion if it’s already recorded? Same with the train crash thing in a similar vein.

          What if they like put an ad in the newspaper, the people on film who died can write in if they are opposed to it? /S just in case…

        Typed from your slave made cellphone from the comfort of your slave sewn clothes… Poor taste indeed.

          Youre right, lets throw away all technology and strip naked because people were abused in the making of them! What a stupid gotcha argument.

              So you’re not a fan of dark humor. That’s fine. I wouldn’t make assumptions about people making obvious jokes though, were I you.

                Actually I am i really made the effort to source local and Union made clothing. It was expensive, I have to care for it because I own less pieces. But in the end I didn’t buy it and I still don’t feel guilty.

                  Great, very cool. I hope it helped the world in its own way.

                    Being human isn’t zero sum. Even the mighty vegan is guilty of animal death in the way of clearing land for crops and domiciles.
