She also calls his parents by their first names.

Lmao. X-Files was 30 years ago, dude.
Yeah, she’s great. I have no idea why she hasn’t blown up. She’s been on YouTube for a looooong time.
It’s the only recourse they have. They know their position is immoral, that future generations will look back at their meat-eating ancestors with absolute disgust, similar to how we look at the crimes of our own pasts. But rather than self-reflect, they get defensive and lash out.
It’s the purest, most unadulterated, form of cope.
Under communism all memes will be shared and expanded on communally.
Abolish the private property of memes.
Free the means of meme production.
It’s like a freaking cheat code lmao.
It’s usually faces, isn’t it? The body and stuff are good too, obviously, but it’s the face that gets ya.
Avatar is still a mediocre movie (with thoroughly average characters and plot). It’s not better, as a film, than any marvel slop.
If that wasn’t enough, James Cameron is not someone to be admired. He’s a horrible person who abused his cast and crew to hell and beyond. All to make a movie that is filled with the most stereotypical indigenous representation and extremely basic world building.
What if all the plants glowed? Wouldn’t that be super cool?! I am a genius.
All the tribes in the world have the same hierarchical (and stereotypical) structure and speak the same language.
And the next film is about the “bad” navis apparently. So, it’s not even gonna be about (the most mild critique) of colonialism anymore.
Yes, it looks pretty. But that’s about it. It’s better than Marvel and Top Gun (barely) but nothing to be celebrated or memed about. He is an anti-worker piece of shit who doesn’t give a shit about indigenous struggles or their experience.
Read what some indigenous critics have said of the film and his comments. Read what his cast and crew have said of how he treated them.

I get that. Watching what he did during the Abyss was convincing enough for me to say he’s not a good person. He puts his “art” above human life and treating people with dignity.
But I think the quote, charitably speaking, meant how today the indigenous people live a poor life because of the actions of the white suprematist state. I’m somewhat inclined to give him that charity because I know he was there fighting for indigenous rights in Brazil. And there’s the clear pro-indigenous narrative in the Avatar movies. So, it seems like he’s a “white saviour” type at best which is obviously problematic but in a different way than that quote.
And I can be totally wrong about this. I haven’t looked into it anymore than this. Maybe he really feels it’s the indigenous people’s fault they got genocided for not fighting harder. In which case, yeah, get fucked Cameron.
