As someone who hasn’t seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.

They would rather be considered fascists for refusing to oppose nazism than hypocrites for supporting a Russian draft resolution 💀

I agree with you. I was just saying what seems to be the logic of the EU in this letter: https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un-new-york/eu-explanation-vote-–-un-general-assembly-draft-resolution-combating_en

Which basically is “We oppose Nazism, but Russia uses fighting Nazism as part of its justification for the war in the Ukraine, so if we vote yes it’ll look like we support Russia in the war”.

Which I think is bullshit of course.

I just used to watch Barnaby Dixon, a puppeteer on YouTube. His channel was wholesome and decently big, he was even a guest on Adam Savage’s Tested channel a few years ago. But then he started doing some interviews, and one time he interviewed a transphobe about children transitioning. When people were pointing out how awful this choice was, and how wrong and harmful everything the guest had said was, he just replied to the transphobes and ignored all criticism. So these days I stay away from pretty much all channels unless they are explicitly trans allies.

Posted this comment elsewhere, but is relevant here so I’ll repost:

While not cheap, headphones with active noise cancelling is much better for public transport imo. E.g. the Sony WH-1000XM4 would set you back $350, which is a bit, but probably much cheaper than a car

Yeah, we should all try to have a consistent set of moral principles. CW on products of animal exploitation shouldn’t be opposed, but rather cause people to stop and think about the reasoning behind it, and the conclusion, I think, should be obvious.

Based on the stuff mentioned in Rebecca Watson’s video on it, I’d say it’s probably best to skip it. Video: https://youtu.be/avWOnnhjxM4

She has been running a blog called Skepchick since 2005, and is a youtuber focused on feminism and critical thinking. Although she doesn’t talk about marxism, she is an outspoken anti-capitalist.
