It’ll happen here, too.
People forget how obvious the efforts of Correct the Record and ShareBlue were on reddit.
Part of it was understandable: Trump sucks and any alternative was preferable, and reddit as a whole skews young and Democrat. So who cares, right?
But that level of astroturfing would have rightly been called out were the politics swapped.
And it goes way beyond politics. I’m sure Marvel and Disney are sending out feelers to control discussion in reddit alternatives.
I still don’t get it lmao
I made an account with kbin because the interface most resembles reddit, but apparently that means I have a lemmy account or something?
Lol fat guys amirite
The first third is cool and interesting. But jfc we don’t need a three hour movie of pretentious jerking off of Ari Aster’s mother issues.
Total misfire imo. It’s like he wanted to ape charlie Kaufman’s neurosis without putting in the work of writing a cogent screenplay.
/end rant
I finished watching Beau Is Afraid and immediately looked up the reddit reaction to make sure I wasn’t nuts thinking it was awful.
I do that with lots of movies tbh, reddit had kinda taken over the imdb forums. Waiting to see if kbin has the same effect.
Beau is afraid fucking sucks btw
So a social worker comes over, inspects the home.
Finds drugs scattered about, moldy bottles, rotten food, diaper hasn’t been changed in days. Deems the child at risk. Child is taken by the state.
Mother becomes homeless and jobless.
Around the time that Social Services cut off services to Hinojosa, her life was finally stabilizing. She moved in with her mother. She reenrolled in parenting classes. She began meeting with a behavioral analyst named Valere Walton, who started Hinojosa on an intensive case management plan to help her develop better parenting skills.
I’m sorry, but this is all pretty standard shit regardless of race. She’s a bad mother, and is crying racism since the state took her kids.
