  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

AVATAR 3

Perverts Guide to Ideology

I'll start with "PCU."

The one upside is that the main villain is played by the lady who also played how-much-could-it-cost and she's amazing as she always was even while playing a terrible role in an enlightened centrist pop-nihilist propaganda film.

The rest of it is steaming smug-seasoned "caring about things makes you stupid" ideology. And I mean pretty much anything that might matter to disadvantaged people or the planet they live on.

Wildlife conservation? Stupid. (tear down those flyers, yeah fuck non-human life forms!)

Veganism? Stupid. (better bully them until they cry!)

Black activism? Stupid. (lol look they're chasing the clueless white boy with vaguely lynch-themed cinematics WHAT IF WE REVERSED THE VICTIM AND PERPETRATOR?!)

Feminism? Stupid. (they just need to get laid lololololololol)

how-much-could-it-cost is politically correct and has two hyphenated last names? Some rich white assholes firing her is seen as the happy ending!

All of those silly people that care too much about things just have a le epic drunk party at the end and that washes away all their concerns about the world like so many lotuses eaten by so many lotus eaters. They touched grass! smuglord

Fuck that movie so much. All the chuds in my immediate biological family loved it, of course.

Sorry to derail, but is there something problematic about ‘DMV bad’ jokes? I just recently heard my uncle who gives off unscratched liberal vibes rant about how the DMV is incompetent and proud of it.

It's an old tired gag that "DMV bad" as if expecting miracles from an often understaffed and underfunded government office, like pretty much every other understaffed and underfunded government office (the Post Office works wonders even under constant pressure from chuds trying to tear it apart), but that isn't really the problematic part.

It's the "sloths slow, lol. Sloths at DMV because sloths slow and DMV bad" thing. Yes, sloths are slow biologically speaking, but when the message is "anyone can be anything in Zootopia and don't be prejudiced" the message gets murky and even nonsensical when animals still have essentialist characteristics that would make the "carnivores do want to kill herbivores here" fear messaging from the villain actually a valid argument.

Thanks, and that’s usually the message I use with my family lib or chud.

They complain about an inefficiency? I just say “ehh, we get what we pay for.” I’m not taking a stance so I don’t get chewed out, and I diffuse any attempts to lord over DMV workers.
