If I go to see this movie...


And I make 50 posts on here about how brilliant and brave it was to cast a black actress as Ariel how many virtue points will I earn? Let's just pretend that I called Tim Scott an "Uncle Tom" and the "N-word", would the virtue points I would earn make up for that?

reply

No points at all. Is there anyone one this forum claiming "how brilliant and brave it was to cast a black actress as Ariel"? Can you quote those who are saying this?

Who is this Tim Scott you are referring to?

So far the two sides seem to be "it's okay to cast a black actress as Ariel" and some of the others are like "how dare they threaten my feeble existence with a black Ariel".

reply

Senator Tim Scott, he recently announced he’s running for President.

I have encountered many people who said that it was brave and brilliant to cast her just because she’s black, because black people were denied parts in Hollywood for so long. Basically her skin color was the most important thing about her.

So this means you people are not handing out virtue points?

EDIT: Here you go, whoever wrote this wants virtue points: https://screenrant.com/little-mermaid-director-responds-to-ariel-casting-praise/

“ I wasn’t anticipating that because in a way I feel like we’ve moved past that kind of thing, but then you realize in a way we haven’t. It was very moving to me to see how important this kind of casting is for the world”. Wow, really on a high horse there isn’t he. Casting a black actress isn’t just important for his art, but for the world.

reply

So, you have not encountered anyone on this forum saying it was brave and brilliant to cast a black actress as Ariel. Do these idiots have names?

What do you mean by "you people"?

reply

Just posted a link. People are seeking virtue points. Also when the decision was announced I was in a professional development session and somehow the topic got to this movie and someone said “I am so excited to see the remake of the Little Mermaid as Ariel will be played by a black actress which is how Hans Christian Anderson envisioned her”

reply

Your link says nothing to support your claim that you "have encountered many people who said that it was brave and brilliant to cast her just because she’s black". In fact that link does not contain the words brave or brilliant.

Is it possible for you to post something here that does not make it look like you think everyone else (even the nazis) here is an idiot?

reply

The article literally said that her casting was important for the world.

Also what have I said that makes me a “hate monger”

And I am referring to the far left woke death cult that you continually support on this forum.

reply

You literally said that you "have encountered many people who said that it was brave and brilliant to cast her just because she’s black". Then you posted a link you claim supports your stupid post, which it does not. Back pedaling never looks good.

Your posting history screams "hate monger".

How about you quote a post of mine that says I continually support any far left woke death cult. You're just making it up and think everyone here is stupid enough to believe the stupidest things you say.

reply

OK how exactly am I supposed to prove to you what people in my life have said to me? All I asked was if you people were handing out virtue points and I explained why I thought you would hand out virtue points. And the article backs up my premise

Show me one post that constitutes “hate mongering”

I’m not being stupid at all, I’m just trying to give you a helpful dose of reality. The cult you support are literally the modern day Nazis.

reply

You tried to prove it with that link you posted. That was a total failure on your part but somehow it is my fault that you are showing everyone how stupid you are.

Claiming that the "cult I support are modern day Nazis is an example of your hate-mongering. So how easy that was.

Now perhaps you can link to a quote me me actually supporting them?

reply

No I proved that there are those out there who think that liking the casting gives them some kind of moral superiority. I never said the article proved anything from my personal experiences. Learn how to read, kid.

It’s not hate mongering, it’s just calling it like it is. I’m sorry the inconvenient truth hurts, kid.

reply

You made claims about bravery and brilliance that your link failed to back up. How is it that you don't recognize this failure on your part?

reply

No I said your cult thinks casting a black actress is brave and brilliant. The article literally said her casting was important for the “WORLD”. It doesn’t get more narcissistic and self righteous than that.

reply

I also find it hilarious that you are getting your panties in such a twist over a simple question. Triggered are you?

reply

Panties not twisted. I was merely telling you that your post was stupid.

Why do you crave virtue points on an obscure little forum like this one?

reply

How is my post stupid? I just asked a simple question? And seeing how your cult is obsessed with virtue points I thought I might see what the big fuss was about. Also let’s say in the future I accidentally call someone by the wrong pronouns, I am going to need some virtue points in the bank to convince your death cult to not burn my house down and kill me.

reply

Because you were fishing for comments on virtue points as if they actually existed.

You are completely irrelevant. No one wants to kill you. Your self-worth is as imaginary as the cult membership you claim I have.

reply

To your cult virtue points exist. And you know damn well if I called a transgendered person by the wrong pronouns your cults BLM and Antifa would show up at my door and threaten to kill me and my cats. The Summer of Carnage of 2020 is all the evidence I need for my concerns.

The fact that you are so bothered by a simple question is only showing you’re a triggered little snowflake who needs to grow up.

reply

I have no cult. Can you tell me more about this imaginary cult you think exists?

No one knows who you are. Get over yourself.

reply

You are in denial, you fully support Diaper Joe and his mob who are out to kill anyone who doesn’t vote the way they want us to. We saw it in the 2020 Summer of Carnage and the attempted hits on Justice’s Kavanaugh and Barrett.

reply

I've never voted for Biden nor have I ever had a kind word for him. The only reason you claim I support Biden is that I'm not kissing your ass when you post here.

What attempted hits on them are you referring to?

reply

Diaper Joe said that because Roe v. Wade was about to be overturned to prepare for a "revolution", then shortly after a far left radical tried to murder Justice Kavanaugh. Diaper Joe ordered a hit on the SCOTUS.

reply

So you cannot provide dates of the hits? Just overly vague suggestions that something happened?

reply

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/calif-man-indicted-attempting-assassinate-brett-kavanaugh-arrest/story?id=85423002

There’s also a Wikipedia article on it, the same Wikipedia that refuses to change “conspiracy theories” (which haven’t been proven to be conspiracy theories) to “claims”

reply

Where does any of that say Biden ordered a hit? Oh yeah, that part was a figment of your imagination.

I think they have medication for that.

reply

Right here, he tried to overthrow the Supreme Court: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3516904-biden-predicts-mini-revolution-in-november-if-scotus-overturns-roe-v-wade/

Also don't forget that your cult leaders Maxine Waters and AOC told their mob to "take it to the street" and kill people if Roe v Wade was overturned. Schumer told Kavanaugh that he would "pay the price" if he voted to overturn it as well. They wanted their mob to kill him. Never before in the history of this country has an elected leader done this. But of course we live in a world of liberal privilege where the DemoKKKrat cult gets away with murder while Donald Trump gets investigated for having too many scoops of ice cream.

reply

So a revolution at the ballot box and new laws to protect abortion rights is a hit/assassination? Better look into taking some medication dude.

So is your evidence of Waters and AOC telling people to take to the street and kill people just as good as your stupid evidence on Biden's hit squads? Where is your Schumer evidence?

Well, these elected leaders are not doing it now, so I guess they did not do it before either. Congratulations, you got something right by accident.

I think you're just trolling me, but it is possible that you're just that stupid.

reply

The constitution does not give abortion rights, and people against abortion are not against it because they want to control women or whatever, it’s to stop baby murder. And the word “revolution” is synonymous with violence, Diaper Joe should have known better, he wanted his cult to kill the SCOTUS. Telling his mob to “revolt” is like yelling “bomb” on airplane. Diaper Joe should be thrown in jail for this but the son of a bitch will never be held accountable because we live in a world of liberal privilege. As long as you check the right diversity boxes you are allowed to incite violence against your political opponents.

Here’s AOC saying “take it to the streets” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Q8ra4_Shs. And she knows what her mob is capable of after the 2020 Summer of Carnage.

Here’s Maxine Waters telling her mob to kill the SCOTUS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq1oJ7eHH-c

I’m sorry you don’t like the facts, dingleberry but that’s your own damn problem. Your cult tried to murder the SCOTUS

EDIT: You’re also apparently too stupid to realize that repealing Roe v. Wade did not take away anyone’s “abortion rights”, it returned the decision to the states who are now free to decide what standards they want to implement in their own state. If the people don’t like the laws that are passed then they can vote the politicians out which is the very fabric of democracy which is something I thought your death cult were all for? Apparently not.

reply

I don't see anything about AOC or Waters threatening anyone with death. I do see Cruz acting like a pussy though.

Surely you understand that people have the right to do anything that is not prohibited by law? Until abortion was restricted, women had to right to an abortion.

You're the only one in this threading talking about Roe v Wade. I don't think you are capable of winning an argument with yourself.

reply

They absolutely did threaten death. AOC knows about the Summer of Carnage and “take it to the street” means riot and burn cities down like they did before. Waters said “defy the Supreme Court” that is a direct attack on our democracy we are supposed to respect the SCOTUS and she knew that one of her cult followers would respond with violence.

Repealing Roe v. Wade did not make abortion illegal, it’s weird I have to keep educating you on this, all it did was return the decision to the states. Worst case scenario: Women can still go to California to have all the abortions they want. I feel like I’m wasting my time considering you don’t even know what you’re talking about.

You are the one who steered this conversation into politics, because you got triggered by me asking a simple question. Maybe you should take a break from the internet and use the time to re-evaluate your own maturity and self confidence.

reply

You are reading too much into what Waters and AOC are saying. It seems you just wish they were sending hit-men to kill people.

I did not say the repeal of Roe v Wade made abortion illegal. The state did that with their own laws.

Claiming that I said something when I obviously did not, is a very poor way to debate any topic.

You brought politics into the conversation in the original post and continued to keep it up front with your claims about various politicians ordering hits on people.

Are you even reading the words you post? I think not. :)

reply

I don’t wish anyone to send hitmen but that’s exactly what they did and as a result a SC justice was almost murdered. All of them have blood on their hands.

I am not claiming anything that isn’t true, you said that repealing Roe v. Wade would take away “abortion rights”, it didn’t, and abortion was never a constitutionally protected right in the first place. The SCOTUS did their job and as a result your cult tried to kill them.

All I did in my original post was respond to woke SJW’s who praised the actress just for her skin color so it was actually your cult that brought politics into this.

reply

You say they sent a hit man, but you have no proof. All of your links all flat on this.

Who almost murdered which SC justice?

I said "Until abortion was restricted, women had to right to an abortion". You're the one who brought up Roe v Wade.

Half of your original post was politics relating to Senator Tim Scott.

reply

I did show you proof. They ordered their mob to go kill the SCOTUS and someone tried to because of their rhetoric. All 4 of them tried to have Kavanaugh murdered.

I mentioned Tim Scott once, you asked who he was and I explained who he was and that was the last time I ever mentioned him. All I wanted to know was how virtue points worked with your cult but apparently you are triggered by a simple question.

reply

Actually I should correct myself: If I were to call Tim Scott an “Uncle Tom” or the N-word that would earn me virtue points with your cult.

reply

I don't think there is anything a hate-monger like you could say to earn any virtue points with a sane and rational person.

What do you mean by "your cult"?

reply

If you don't watch this movie you're racist.

So it makes sense the more times you watch it the less racist you are. One is enough to be racism-free, if you check it out in theatres five times you shall be assured a place in Heaven.

reply

OK thanks, I really don't want to be a racist so I'll just go see this movie every day just to be sure, even if I don't like it. And if I don't like it I definitely will not tell anyone, I'll definitely go to virtue hell for that. Thanks for letting me know that going to see this movie is pretty much the equivalent of going to confession.
