to let her know. As always, d0nate and share.
Girlhood always excludes non-white women. You don't consider us as part of that experience and that's why you're too busy mourning supposed snubs of a film led by white women, despite it still have 8 nominations. You don't deem the first Indigenous American woman nominated for-
The problem is that you're assuming that POC are hired for diversity purposes and not because they successfully displayed their talent in the audition. That assumption is racist.
I feel like black people are being used as mascots for DEI, and I wish the entertainment industry and other industries would stop doing this. This is not helping us, this is hurting us. Stop forcefully inserting black people into these old stories and then acting shocked when
Israel is now bombing the safe zone they forced Palestinians to go to. It was never about the hostages. Israel does not care about humans, a settler colony is devoid of humanity by default. Please keep sharing information about this. To a ceasefire and a free Palestine π΅πΈ.

Barbie got so much that is worth celebrating, especially America's nomination but it's not enough for white feminists. They must have more, even when it is at the expense of WOC, at the expense of the Latina woman that was nominated. It's such a disgrace.
I muted this thread yesterday cos it blew up but I just wanted to correct an error that I made. Lily Gladstone is the first Indigenous American woman from the USA to receive a Best Actress nomination.
This is some of the most infuriating discourse I've ever seen and that's saying something. You guys are actually pissing me off. Nothing about the film or the book is worth discussing to this extent. Everyone and everything involved is terrible. Stop fucking talking about it.
Citizen Kane, Iβm Not There, and Raging Bull would never have gotten made under these circumstances, Iβm sorry. Oversight by the people depicted almost never goes well and usually leads to less interesting art.

In comparison to other women, particularly women of colour who didn't get nominated for anything, Barbie was not snubbed. I'm incredibly thrilled for Lily Gladstone's Best Actress nomination especially, she absolutely deserves it.
@dancingofpens
She starring in a film directed by a zionist and the source material is written by someone romanticises abuse, is a rape apologist and is a terrible writer. Idk why people are digging to look for the good person in this narrative.
movieheads on here are so precious about Ke Huy Quan. they act like he had to live outside and eat tree bark for the 40 years between Indiana Jones and that Everybody Anywhere All Over the Place movie

All these white men have to do is breathe but when Black or Brown are not only hot but also put in the work, it's weird??? I'm tired of us always having to be exceptional for a crumb of praise.
White people can never be racist with their chest, so they need to come up with some 'philosophical' bullshit for why they dislike Zendaya. This narrative is so tired and borderline gross.
Do streaking services realise that university students are some of their biggest audiences and by nature they won't always be in the same house as the account holder?
"She was a teenager" and so are many Black people when they are faced with racism like this. You offer sympathy to bigots when they're spewing this hatred but never to the young victims. You are just like them.
Brooke Schofield is under fire after fans discover a series of racist and insensitive posts from 2012-2015.
One of the posts includes her, at 16 years old, defending George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon Martin.
I have arranged a campaign on gfm for
@sabrina_yousef
in the hopes it will reach more people. Please donate and share to help Sabreen and her family evacuate from Gaza for their safety and medical treatments. Thank you.
The way people are dismissing a victim of abuse is so weird. Ethics regarding real people is not a threat to film in any way. If it weeds out artists who are hogging up resources for shitty art and makes space for artists who can make good original art, so be it.
@ncrmalpeople
He is the worst kind of nepo baby: consistently untalented, unoriginal, a thief and yet he is given all the resources just to be terrible at his job.
@kirkxxs
If UN is ever going to survive, that veto power must end. I'm tired of it acting like it's a saviour of humanity when all it does is support USA imperialism.
Hot take: it should be illegal for employer to use automated systems to read CVs. We're supposed to put all this effort into our application but a human being won't even read it? It's infuriating.
@enepurple24
I was referencing specifically the people who are dismissing criticisms of Blake as misogyny and the Justin v Blake stance they're taking. It's unnecessary because both of them, everyone involved in this film sucks.
"I find it difficult to connect with the characters." You don't see Black people as humans, you racist flaming hot pieces of garbage. Studios and audiences, they really think they're slick.
@cinemapplepie
People will call any white woman on this app 'cunty'. You were just making fun of Colleen Hoover's writing yesterday and now you're going ride or die for the people involved in the film adaptation? Make it make sense.
@artan_ayan
Also racism is definitely a factor because other white actress who were on Disney don't face this scrutiny. They really think they're slick.

, I reflected on the journalism of this awards season and how the obsession with virality sets a dangerous precedent for art criticism. Thank you so much to Marisa for editing and thank you to
@filmwithyas
for speaking with me!
I wrote about stan culture and how online spaces of fandom dissuade people from engaging positively with art, if they choose to engage with it at all. This is my longest piece ever, I hope you enjoy!

@soundspheremag
