Comment on Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’
emptyother@programming.dev 1 year agoAnd thinking everyone should think the same and enjoy the same thing is a big step into fascistic thinking. You might tell yourself that forcing a modicum of thought and intellectual participation on people is for a good cause. But you arent, in these comments at least, a good judge of what intellectual participation is.

Which is what you do when you do something wrong and then demand everyone has to conform to your way of thinking because you portray yourself as an ignorant common man standing up to the out-of-touch academic in the ivory tower who tells you facts you don’t want to hear.
You might think of thinking and intellectual investment as egregious violations of your human rights, but that’s not how the real world works. You are an adult with responsibilities who is helping to run a democracy, and as such, you do in fact have to think and consume content that helps you think. It’s called growing up and you and the rest of the United States badly need to do it before Trump and his little cult exploits your refusal to stop being a child to commit genocide.
This shit happening with movies is having far-reaching effects throughout all of society and you see it as well as we do; you just don’t want to take responsibility for it.
You are a child.

Well, excuse me for not wanting to be called a fascist just for liking action movies.

Excuse us for wanting movies that aren’t worthless fucking garbage that are all CG and no substance.
Excuse us for calling you out for being the root of the problem supporting the enshittification of movies because you refuse to stop being a selfish, indolent, immature dipshit who thinks the world revolves around you.
Excuse us for telling you the truth.

What truth? That everybody should enjoy what you enjoy?
I’m literally defending everybodies right to have our own taste.
For this I’ve been called a fascist, trump-voter, ignorant common man, anti-intellectualist, selfish, indolent (TIL a new word!), immature, and an american! Name-calling isnt very mature. I threw your own word back at you (except the Trump voter, I couldnt in good conscience punch so low). Because acting all “out-of-touch academic in the ivory tower” (your words, not mine) thats a so damn typical fascist move, that has been caricatured in multiple movies, that I cant help point it out.
