Yeah.... its abundantly clear the author of this video did NOT watch The Clone Wars/Rebels TV series in its entirety. There are multiple scenes where droid slavery is discussed. Specifically, the scene where the Death Watch droids rebel against their sadistically abusive masters, after essentially being used for target practice.
Anakin's entire personality when it comes to the mistreatment of droids is shaped by his childhood & the hatred he has for slavery - since we used to be one himself on Tatooine. Its the primary reason why R2-D2 is always his loyal friend, never his slave. Its also why Anakin refuses to allow R2's mind to be wiped the entire Clone Wars. This choice has turned R2 into a liability on some missions, because he carries sensitive data about the Republic, should he ever be captured.
I think that’s why Fleabag abandons us at the end of season 2, like “nah bro you can’t look anymore” or “not this” when she is doing it with The hot Priest. Like she is conscious that film is voyeuristic always.
This is why older men like to go after barely legal teens or younger women. They can't handle someone who has the same level of experience as them or someone mature. They want to groom someone as their ideal woman. Creepy.
I never watched this movie despite loving the idea of Newt Scamander (I too wanted to be a magizoologist at one point lol), but for some reason never did. And now I won’t watch anything HP related because of JKR. But this video makes me wish I had at least watched the first Fantastic Beasts movie because I think I would really like Newt. An empathetic, animal loving, autistic-coded Hufflepuff as the main character?! Sounds exactly my jam. If only the movies (and universe) wasn’t so damn problematic 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
So sad how its been 4 years since this but the trends don't seem to be improving 💔 but alas we're still here and we'll keep talking about this, Cheers mate!
Being a queer man (to simplify my gender) and watching this is really interesting. I'm outwardly male, sure, but my gender expression is *very* non conforming. Androgynous, if not totally "feminine". And you know what? I don't feel the competition with other men that you mention. I feel some competition with women, but mostly, with myself.
Fear, specifically, _is_ poisonous to Jedi. Jedi, especially padawans, can lose their connection to the light side of the Force when they're afraid. I believe that what Yoda means is that when a Jedi becomes afraid they're more likely to reach into the dark side to protect themselves and those around them, because fear can actually be a fuel source for dark side abilities. If this is what he means the rest of his warning holds true. Fear is the gateway, but then the padawan learns that anger is a much better fuel source than fear, and further still they learn that hatred is even stronger still. Once they've fallen that far they can only cause suffering because they've become a slave to their anger, hatred, and fear. I think this is what Yoda is warning about, and to be fair he's completely correct. Anakin's fear of loss causes him to become one of the most vile monsters to ever exist in the Star Wars universe. While the Jedi could have prevented Anakin from ever falling, we know that it's not that easy to flip such ingrained beliefs, so they never actually could have stopped the end result. Vader is proof that Yoda was right, that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.
@@PopCultureDetective Im currently rewatching a bunch of your video catalogue and i was surprised when you said that blade runner used to be your favorite movie precisely bc of this scene. i understand why it no longer is. might rewatch the movie just to refresh on my opinion on it in general but that fucking scenes gonna be tough to get through i reckon.
Since they introduced the character of Anissa from Invincible, I wonder how they're going to portray THAT scene from the comics. Already, a lot of men were joking about it. "I'd let her do that to me" or "she'll need to run from me" is a common thing guys have said on Twitter.
I can’t help but think about One Piece’s “The Going Merry”. The Merry was just a ship, with no other purpose than to be a setting for our character. Yet … when I tell you I cried when that ship was burned. It’s worth wasn’t only shown by how the characters treated the ship but by how the overall story treated it. It gave it a purpose akin to a character , that made not just me but the majority of the fans feel for a sentient object.
I love solarpunk, and feel it is such an important movement. We need to have hope alongside action, and I believe that's what solarpunk is inspired by; where hope and action align.
I had a coworker take advantage of me one day, he was high, i tried some, i was stressed and dissociated, and it really looked a lot like this.. i felt so gross afterwards, but i consented so i never really said anything and i don't think he did it on purpose...
Endless movies of "woman stories": - alien - Terminator - Wonderwoman (movies, shows, comic books...) - Buffy the vampire slayer - scream I could go on and on 😐 I have no clue under what rock you lived but you need to come out and breathe some air. The problem is not a slim minority of men being antisocial pieces of 💩 But the distribution of money Oh, btw, I love all those media with real strong women from the list above.
@@PopCultureDetective Well I'm surprised that you responded. But you must agree that people use it in ways that aren't this. So saying "This is the definition" is a bit useless to respond to people who aren't using it in that way.
Great video but the one thing I’d change is how you frame Barbieland. You seem to portray it as an ideal non-patriarchal society, and yet it is supposed to be a mirror image of the real world, just with the roles reversed. Barbieland is unfair and cruel, just like the real world.
I never said Barbieland was an ideal anything. It isn't. It's more like a weird inverted patriarchy as seen through a child's eyes minus the obsession with control.
Lie detectors don't detect lies, they detect nervousness about one's answer. I also think that the gender and age of the operator (unlikely to be someone who would be open to her nuanced answer) probably didn't help.
To be fair, the MCU has 2 big things working against it. 1) for the most part, these are all movies which have to fit their story into a tight 2 hour narrative which doesn't always leave room for a lot of nuanced discussions, and 2) they all have to inhabit the same universe, so the status quo, for example, level of new technology, can't be changed too much, less it interfere with other stories. Tony can't solve the world's energy crisis, because poverty needs to exist in order for conflict to happen elsewhere.
Its pretty clearly Stated in multible star wars lore that Droids are not sentient from the getgo and only start to become sentient and develop a personality when coaxed, spend time evolving it or are made with the intention to invoke it. Battledroids arent sentient but there have been cases of prolonged existing battle droids to develop sentience like Bones or the Unnamed droid that helped Obi Wan to escape a planet. The reason memeory wipes are as common as they are is because that prevents sentience from evolving. That is the only moral implication that would be a moral or philisophical issue in my personal oppinion.
Me being able to be seen for the first time through the character of weymend I’m pretty sure saved my relationship with the mother of my child. Empathy and support people out there are often undervalued bc it’s intangible. This world eat breaths tangible. Thank you for finally shedding light on things in this world that could make this a better plave
I mostly like this, but there was some nuance I feel was missing. I think its a sweeping generalization to suggest the pushback against female characters in movies was mainly because they were female. While this was certainly a component, I don't think it was the mainstream one and there is a lot to talk about on it. This point was glossed over and rushed, so perhaps not enough attention could be paid to it. Second, the idea that violence and competition by the kens is solely a feature of patriarchy is very misguided. It's a viewpoint that suggests that violence is a masculine/male trait and thats a view that I think hurts women, by stealing that trait from them. Women aren't seen as violent because its been stripped from them by society. They aren't supposed to fight back in patriarchy. They also aren't supposed to be competitive. But is that because these traits are absent in most women? I think not. I think if they were allowed to express those tendencies, we'd see it a lot more. So I don't find it strange that competitiveness exists before Patriarchy is established by Ken. Also, this is probably a means of establishing why people might instigate such a system in the first place. Archy of various types can come about as a result of competition and insecurity.
patriarchy is rule of men where positions are reserved for men but even when a woman takes rule, it's still a rule of men? 8:30 - Any position with power is also a position of responsibility. I'd never allow myself to have an appendectomy by someone without any medical training. I like how you also conveniently leave out that all positions of power have clear rules in how to achieve them.
