  1. the irony here is that everything you accuse Christopher Nolan of being - pretentious, only caring about making himself look intelligent, fooling people into thinking what he's saying has more substance than it actually does, and patting himself on the back for being different - actually describes this """""review""""" perfectly. I'm not even a big Nolan fan but it sounds to me like you'd be better off sticking to Marvel movies. or maybe The Emoji Movie is more your thing.

  2. for the love of god, watch the original 1995 anime film. it's an absolute masterpiece, one of the greatest films of all time, and a huge influence on the genre of cyberpunk. this live-action adaption is decent but nowhere near the original and terribly shallow compared to it.

     

    sidenote: that "FAKE NEWS!" comment on your last entry was a joke and a response to Iaredios's comment, which was more political in nature than my comment to begin with. a quote from a person involved in politics, especially when it's a dumb meme, isn't inherently political or making things about politics lmao.

  3. he was nice to you. you were friends. I get that. but he wasn't nice to a lot of people. he was homophobic, transphobic, and self-righteous and he insulted and hurt a lot of people on the basis of that. he never apologized, never showed regret, and continued to do it until not long before his (rightful) banishment. his health issues are completely irrelevant; that sort of thing does not excuse you from hurting others.

     

    but it's obvious nothing will get through to you. it also strikes me as incredibly hypocritical that you talk about being bullied while defending a bully, and preach about understanding while disregarding what multiple people who have been systematically marginalized, dehumanized, and bullied their entire lives have to say about him. like you said, there's more than one side to every story, so why are you only focusing on your own?

  4. I was referring to both Unity in BIONICLE, and in IRL.

     

     

    With that being said, should we be hateful of those who have made mistakes in their past? Should we judge anyone by rumors?

     nah, but we should absolutely reject toxic, hurtful people who continually antagonise others and display their prejudices publicly and never make any effort to change or make amends

     

    Yes, of course. However, one must know the difference between a disagreeing person, and a true raging madman. One may have differing views, but that doesn't mean that they in and of themselves are the epitome of all that is wrong. If one say is brought up in a spacific pethaps theological household, and is tought that spacific things are somehow wrong and are in and of themselves too stubborn to change that view and harass others over it, that is a problem.

     

    However, if someone grew up under such conditions and strives to not only be respectful to, and also strive to help those who they may have been tought are wrong, than that person must be recognized by their good, not by their upbringing, just as an example. In any case, I think we all know the saying; "Question Everything." And indeed one must.

     

    I agree, to an extent. it just happens that the specific person I had (and I feel you have as well) in mind represents the problematic former example, not the latter.
