Not even a twinge of shock over any of this. I enjoy going to that side of the state to camp and kayak, but man, its got some propaganda issues.

The inverse of this is St Elmo’s Fire. My wife and I joked that the line was “I can be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels.” thinking it was hilarious and a great replacement.

Well, a few years ago we looked the actual lyrics up and… that’s the actual line.

Turns out the song was written for a Canadian paralympian. “David Foster and John Parr wrote this song specifically for the movie St. Elmo’s Fire, but the song itself is about a Canadian athlete named Rick Hansen, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a car crash when he was 15.”.

Honestly, it made the song that much better.

So stoked for this. The Judge Not documentary is fantastic. May be biased though, my screen name is taken from Vulgar.

I don’t think its good per se but I can see the value in your point. Especially in regards to it just being a distraction. Everyone is sure honed in a map rename when there’s other more legitimate issues to address.

But, gulf of America nonsense makes easier distraction headlines.

Haha. Nope, somehow that flew past my radar.

I missed this! Spill the tea if you got links.

Brian Posehn called it “Hot Girl Down Syndrome” several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it’s so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.

I don’t feel like I wasted the time watching it thankfully. Despite the criticism’s leveled against the excessive use of the trope, I did enjoy the show and am looking forward to the final season in a few days.

Huge caveats though, mainly;

I had it on as a background show while playing low impact video games, making dinner and decompressing after work.

And, this is a big one,

I was the exact right age when Karate Kid released. It was a top 3, core memory movie of my childhood and the show mines that nostalgia pit in a way that kept my anxiety riddled brain on a constant dopamine drip.

If you share a childhood love of the original movies, seeing Billy Zabka play Johnny again and develop him into one of the most endearing, fully realized characters in modern media is phenomenal.

If neither of those apply though, steer clear. You’ll likely not be able to get past the repetitive, tropey speed bumps.

Just got done marathoning Cobra Kai. The entire premise of about 90%+ of the conflicts on that show are based off this very trope. It was even more obvious when watching back to back seasons and they seem to show tons of character growth when someone actually talks, only for those same characters to go right back to the toxic silence immediately in the next episode.

Came here to post this. My olds roommate legit asked if I was trying to open a portal to hell when I first played them for him.

Fantastic mood setter.

Well now that you’ve said it, we can’t just go and put that genie back in the bottle!

Oh Christ, it’s this guy again with the garbage takes.

Haha. Whoa there pal. How about you stop making strawman arguments and playing a victim card and contextualize the conversation to the post.

You may need a break from the internet if that’s your knee jerk reaction. Sometimes its ok to take a deep breath and see outside of the bias box you’re choosing to live in. Especially when you are trying to racialize something based on 0 context.

Either way, don’t worry about the block, I already took care of that on my end. Your post history indicated I had no interest in interacting with you prior to this attempt at lionization.

Cheers mate, hope things improve for you in the future when presented with struggles.

Agreed. Some of us are sick of this baboon in our feeds.

Been playing quite a bit of the saboteur lately. Its a great game.

Damn. I mildly followed this via some podcasts I listen too. Didn’t even realize they had relaunched after the bullshit beta.

Good riddance to another failed WB attempt to exploit rather than honor their IP.

Posted above, I’ll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.
