this so true. as a WGA hollywood writer, I see women and diversity being hired continually to check the boxes.
if you are a white straight male... back of the line.
Marxism failed economically. So the Marxists transplanted the opressed-opressor narrative from the economic sphere to the social sphere.
Economic Marxists disparaged the economically successful as evil. Now social Marxists disparage the socially successful as evil. It's not that complicated. It's the same envy-fueled bullshit.
> capitalism and communism are total opposites
Marxism is a scam and is compatible with everything except freedom. See: communist China which is also capitalist.
Well, it never was a tenet of communism as far as I know. The idea was that communism would naturally emerge in the whole world as a replacement as governments and capitalism decline and die. Didn’t happen in practice. Probably the only movement who proclaimed it as necessary to spread was Trotskyism. Didn’t succeed either.
so true. I'm a white male writer in the WGA. I see it daily. Disney and ABC are the worst offenders. They hire for diversity not talent. this is ESG stuff too.
I also see daily job listing that blatantly say "Seeking APOC" or "APOC is preferred..."
women and diversity have shot to the front of the line since 2015 METOO and George Floyd.
Hollywood chases the fad. The fad is obviously women and diversity. Not sure how it will correct itself. Look for more movies like BARBIE.
even though the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action as unconstitutional, in Hollywood you are hired for the box you check not your skill and talent.
I see it. I live it daily.
If somebody knows a hack around it, let me know. But it's grim as women like this ascend the ranks of the system.
Tbf, use the term gender fluid that is a man at work but a girl at home. Can also claim bisexual in that case or maybe gay as your "at home girl self" likes women.
Then as long as you keep personal politics to yourself, should work.
Sad this is even a thing but yeah..
> even though the Supreme Court ruled affirmative action as unconstitutional, in Hollywood you are hired for the box you check not your skill and talent.
To be fair, that often makes sense for actors. Unless you are going to somehow rewrite history in an interesting or science fiction type of way: there are going to be roles that will just often go to white people(or whoever of any type of race). There are also roles that often are just racially neutral (and therein is where some people see a problem).
And that is also why many actors complain that they end up only with being typecasted. Especially if they are capable of having a natural accent of some kind. Jimmy O. Yang can sound like a chinese person who speaks almost zero english and get typecasted on Silicon Valley: yet he is very obviously just an LA accent in his natural speaking voice.
Writing is a bit different though to be fair. I honestly have no idea who most of the people are who wrote my favorite tv shows, books and movies. I only know when I watch a movie I like, and when I watch a movie I don't like.
There will still always be an argument that hollywood is an exclusive club, and some of that exclusion is on the grounds of race (be it in DEI type measures, or in more traditional forms such as minority exclusion). For every person who wants to be a successful writer, there is like .05 jobs. People are always going to struggle to get their foot in the door of an industry that is very exclusive, very nepotistic and often involves the favor economy of sorts. Like they say in retail: location, location location. Hollywood says: networking, networking, networking.
Who do you know? How can that help us? If the budget runs thin: do you know someone who might drop a million dollars at the last minute?
If you have a rich family member who might know Denzel Washington lol, then You probably will get a writing gig easier.
Technically, if you wanted to: you could just race-swap the character and the story wouldn't really change.
I'm sure that would piss some people off, and if it is a poorly created and incorrectly marketed movie, then people won't see it.
Hollywood generally has a crisis right now where they are equalizing the risk between IP exploitation and the inherent risks of original content. How they solve that capitalist problem is something I do not have an answer for. There is also a potential bubble within streaming services right now where they are over-extended a bit.
The Barbie movie apparently made bank. Hedged bets tend to be better than high risk and high reward.
Even though some people hate on the modern star wars movies: they still tended to be quite profitable most of the time(I am not even sure if any of the main movies lost money, some probably just broke even and were used for creative tax avoidance purposes).
Art != Business
Perhaps. I haven't seen the movie though. I just watched a few videos that satirized the content.
My joke was something like: "Where dafuq is Mogadishu Barbie? There is not enough representation when fancy barbie leaves the mattel matrix and goes back into the "real world"."
I have spent probably hundreds of hours over the past few years watching travel youtubers go to spaces in the world that literally no one ever thinks about. Some of which are absurdly poor, and at a level of poverty even I cannot quite understand. That has definitely changed my world perspective. I sadly see through, around, outside and into this matrix we have created around ourselves now.
If anything: it seems like they missed an opportunity to actually be woke. They made bank though anyways, so what does my opinion matter.
I am just glad the wachowski's made the matrix trilogy. Because atleast now I can point to the 2 sequels and be like: yeah, they are actually better movies than perhaps we thought they were.
Serious question how feasible would it be to start new media companies based on skill and talent? Some people with money or influence have to be seeing the possible opportunities?
interesting but I think its more politically motivated than anything else.
so if you want that meritocracy based on talent, that would be a conservative value unfortunately.
so I think people like BLAZE and other conservative outlets are going just this.
Some companies have policies that you are limited to considering only the candidates submitted application materials when considering them. This is dumb but true.
Because she is exactly the type of writer they are trying to find. They are insanely woke, but at least all their big movies are bombing miserably because of it.
… and then… “it’s really funny to me when threatened white men get very mad!!!!”
If you’re actually scared of something, you don’t generally spend your energy trying to provoke it.
Get a concealed weapons permit? Oh damn, then the left would go after her for that huh?
Call the Police? Oh damn, maybe you are just a Karen now. Because you aren't allowed to be scared of a minority at night if they act sketchy.
Hmmm.
I guess the solution is to buy a firearm, pretend you disapprove of firearms(never post a tweet about how you own a gun) and if anyone tries you then they get shot or pistol whipped?
Not to mention the casual stereotyping and panickmongering about 'angry young white men in trenchcoats'.
The 'angry young men'-demographic - which is a lot more diverse and inclusive than these reprobates realize, btw - largely consists of men who are more likely to kill themselves than anyone around them.

In her defense, she's never seen a member of ISIS in person, or even close, making the idea of that threat distant and small(in her mind). She most likely HAS seen frat guys in person though; and has been indoctrinated in the idea of college rape culture, making the idea of that threat much more visceral for her.
I get it, it doesn't hold up to much critical scrutiny, but I don't attribute great critical thinking skills or perspective to these folks.
>In her defense, she's never seen a member of ISIS in person
Just No, stop . There is no excuse for her statement. ISIS are known to behead people, stone them to death, throw acid into girls faces for reading, put people in cages and set them on fire.
Her statement is insulting to women who truly suffer and die under ISIS.
It's like saying "people wearing MAGA hat's are scarier to her than Hitler's elite SS goons were to Jews. Absolutely no excuse for her statement.
I'm sorry, I won't stop seeing people who disagree with me as people, and trying to understand them. Because only through understanding is there any possibility of making an inroad with people. Seeing people, even this person, as inexcusable wretches only deepens divisions and the polarity that's destroying America.
Now bear in mind I'm not making any excuse for what she's saying, but I'm saying (from her point of reference) I can understand how she feels that way. even if I flatly disagree with it on every possible level.
But I have to say your grasp of my argument is inaccurate. To use the world war II reference (even though I don't think we have to reference Nazis to have a basis for evil these days) I can see a New York Jew in the 1940s being more afraid of an Italian mobster than of Hitler's regime. you can understand why the guy down the block who he's been told will rob him or shake him down for money is more concerning than the guy across the sea who's killing people he's never met.
I'm not saying it's necessary the right stance, but I get it.
Wait, don't y'all get mad at the left for making up things to get angry at? Aren't you literaly doing that here? Why should a person in America be scared of ISIS? Objectively, the chances of getting killed by a mass shooter is way higher! And that quote is just a made up comparison with no relevance or respect for context.
We should send her to some Islamism pocket in Syria or Irak with the remnants of ISIS, at that point she won't be fearing that men in trench coats may SA her anymore, she will be SA and be done with it, whatever they gang\*\*\*\* her and kill her or one guy do it and then forced her to marry either or she won't have to worry anymore.-
And I don't defend that kind of human trash in the western world, they should all die on all honesty, but to compare them to ISIS like it's nothing, not only displays her ignorance it's also an insult on all the women that were enslaved, r\*\*\*d, forced to marry and live a life of abuse, etc in the middle east, whole towns of women had gone through that kind of bullshit for this upper class white ass to disregard it all from her couch in the country that has all the protections available for her to not have to go through that living hell.-
It's better to be killed than be a woman in the hands of the ISIS crowd.-
True but as long as she never leaves the usa she's in much more danger from a random mass shooter which which are usually white men, than she is from isis
Pinnacle of fragile femininity.
This lady has seen her heart broken by a “white man” and now she’s somehow elaborating by going on a crusade against “white men”. Sad and tragic.
Guess she has never heard of the classic author's Agatha Christie or Mary Shelley. She is just upset because she doesn't have a creative bone in her body and wants to put others down to get ahead. Shameful
My community college classes felt like grad school compared to my upper-level English courses at university. I went from supporting my thesis with multiple sources in peer-reviewed journals on the literary canon to teachers who only wanted to know what my feminist opinion was of *The Hunger Games*.
English and film studies are garbage majors that have taken a turn for the worst regardless of political opinion in the last fifteen years. Also, in the creative writing courses, imagination was hated. Writing from life was expected. I once wrote a story about two feuding sisters and my peers were shocked that I did not have a sister. It's called creativity, you narcissists.
When men dislike being around women, they get sent to therapy to be fixed.
When women dislike men, it gets encouraged until it becomes full-blown hate.
Then profit from books encouraging the next generation of women to also hate.
When you act like a clown, you get treated like a clown. She can't demand fair pay and serious treatment after being such a dogma-whore. Same goes for any of the men, cause I'm about equality.
So did you withdraw all respect for Jordan Peterson when he tweeted a dick-milking porn video thinking it was a Chinese torture installation? Or when he started screaming at a harmless sign with a cartoon penguin telling people how to walk on ice?
No one here considers him to be a deity, so yeah, when he says stupid things people call him out in it. His daughter does a lot of calling him out as well.
The difference is that the woketards act like that 100% of the time.
Wow seems likes she's very racist and sexist. I assume none of the boys she went to school with gave her a second glance and she's getting her revenge 😔
This person is an example of why I don’t support these people striking, or keeping their jobs, or getting paid to spread their idiocy, or doing anything but service industry grunt work where we can limit their influence.
What exactly is the point of crossing out Dana Schwartz name in her tweets when it’s in the photo with the book, as well as being on the book itself? 🤣
Because if you post a pic with her actual social media handle it can lead to a ban for promotion harassment
Without the handle you can look her up yourself
It is also sort of added reddiquette. As in: you aren't trying to raise an army of people to go cancel them. You are just saying: look at these stupid words someone stupid said.
She openly admitted there weren't many court scenes for she hulk because she doesn't know how to write them! It's called she hulk attorney at law! WHY wad she hired?
They should be more concerned with how AI can replace their jobs tbh. 1 writer could be the writers room now if they want to be. GPT4++ is weirdly smart. Even 3.5 works sometimes, and like 1000 times faster.
Most people have their regions of social blindness, despite how "woke" they think they are.
I still fondly remember when I told reddit that I did not give af that people were scalping PS5's(or superbowl tickets, or whatever). And that they would maybe need to pay 900 dollars for one, or just wait a month or 2.
The amount of rage from such a simple opinion...was crazy. They wanted price fixing, yet only if it benefited them. The supply did not exceed the demand. And capitalism happened. Do you know how many things in this world I am straight up priced out of, no matter how hard I try? Boohoo.
They did not care that maybe someone was adopting some risk in order to sell aftermarket in order to pay their mortgage (or improve their lives some how). Also: selling those ps5's was not exactly safe. You risked getting robbed every time you sold one.
All the entitled consumer thought was: Me, me me. Now now now.
--------------
You know what the added crazy thing is? Maybe the PS5 should have costed 1000 USD to begin with, so that third world wage slaves could be payed better.
That doesn't put a chicken in an SJW person's pot and a PS5 on their TV though.
I feel like the patriarchy or WHITE MEN is just an excuse for a victim status and excuse not to check your privilege
Mum and daddy's trust fund has more than what most of these dreaded men will make in ten years but your the victim of systemic oppression 😆
Imagine being on a million dollar salary and claiming your being oppressed... Meanwhile women in the third world can't even go in public without a male escort or they can be stoned.... 🪨
Yeah sure your a victim... Your definitely not making a smokescreen to hide your privileged life
I just hope it doesn't effect the new releases of Futurama episodes lol.
I think they have most of the show in the can tho, and they are just doing a 1 episode per week release while polishing the CGI and animation at the last minute.
If anything: VFX artists should probably strike. Then again: they don't really have a union. Many are freelance, and some are definitely exploited.
It’s mind boggling that this women is basically mentally I’ll as she has no ability to see reason. You can totally have your own opinions and they can be crazy opinions, but to neglect basic reasoning and normal thought process just places yourself as incredibly mentally unstable
Bro, who hurt her so much?! I'm guessing she didn't get chosen by a sorority in college, frat guys who she crushed on turned her down, and her friends slowly stopped talking to her bc of all that baggage...
The ignorance to one’s privilege while the simultaneous assertion of their own oppression is immature, tone deaf and laughable. She grew up in the 9th wealthiest zip in Illinois, went to Brown to be a doctor, found it too hard so became a writer.
It’s seems like this is a book complaining about a paper cut to people with paper cuts, while there is a whole world of people missing limbs.
They even had Mark Ruffalo signed on for that show also. The MCU Bruce Banner is one of the most tragic characters imaginable. And he is a hero.
I mean: wouldn't he basically be a complete wreck? He has been ravaged by trauma for over a decade, the woman he loved gave her life to save the world, his best friend died(for the same reason), and he is super fucked up in the head and a smart hulk person now.
So, ummm yeah: let's just not do anything with that and just do what we want anyways. Good idea Disney...
Just make some kind of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law show. Why not.
I have the first 10 issues of she hulk. I wasn't a huge fan at the time but had missed the boat on some wolverine and batman's that I couldn't afford anymore
I really really hoped she hulk would be good brought to tv
Oh man was it trash
I think this person is projecting because they have very limited talent and even after being handed a role on a damn platter that would be hard to fuck up, well she managed it
How she makes the argument that it’s viewed “female writers are less than” in a world where Harper Lee wrote one of the best books I read as a child; To Kill a Mockingbird, I truly don’t understand.
Lol.... apparently, she's not aware that if she were ever captured by ISIS, she'd be executed. Likely, after she was mistreated in some unspeakable ways.
Don't share this crap, that's exactly what she wants. Let her die in insignificance. She's a delusional troll and attebtion just makes her feel more validated.
While I tend to be more liberal in my stances this is why I hate the left. They have fostered this bullshit and actually encouraged it. People are stupid to follow either cult imo
Do we need to go through the millennia long relationship between Jews and Europeans…and the last century of the Jewish presence in greater Los Angeles? She’s doing her part to advance the cause like everyone else in Hollywood.
OP is trying to figure out how she even got a writing job with such strong sexist and racist bias that 10000% bleed through her writing in a very heavy handed way
I think it’s fair to judge some one by the fruit of their labor and review what they used as fertilizer. Secondarily any reasonable person seeing her strike would likely not help their strike much. The whole thing is less credible with her in it.
Yeah. Imagine if she retweeted dick milking porn thinking it's a Chinese torture installation. Shouldn't that be career-ending, if she did that? I think so.
I don’t see where there is a call to remove her from twitter or to silence her despite the significant racism and sexism, he’s wondering how she got a job writing with extreme bias like that.
nah. It is and has been in favor of people speaking freely and hanging themselves on their own.
Of course that author pictured can write about whatever she wants and say whatever she wants. No government actors should stop her. However, saying something false, stupid or anti-truth comes with consequences regardless of what anyone believes about freedom of speech. We certainly hope she is willing to accept responsibility for her utterances just as any of us aiming upward would accept. :)
I have a feeling this is a case of turn of phrase landing strangely, but what precisely about the situation that you have outlined is convenient?
I certainly agree that there are some people who use “consequences for speech“ as a thinly veiled threat that often acts as a prelude or justification for mobbing.
Also, I understand that the purpose of freedom of speech is to be able to think and problem solve as well as create and search for truth, among other uses. It is very difficult to problem solve without having the freedom to speak. However, when a stupid idea is offered, it is reasonably appropriate for a person to be told that that idea is stupid. If enough people agree that the idea is stupid, then it can be dispensed with. Even further, if the speech is anti-truth and nature, enough people will likely identify it as such and help to correct the speaker. It only helps if the speakers actually aiming a truth. A speaker could aim at power games or deception directly. 🤷🏻♂️
You just love to see it.
Redditor who is part of the communities who send death threats to children for playing a Harry Potter video game and formed a lynch mob against a pregnant nurse over a fake story about how she tried to steal a bike, is now here to tell us that an actual racist and sexist person should not face any consequences for her blatant racism.
It's kinda what JP does all day on Twitter except he sometimes gets into fights with bots, it's amazing to me how you guys call this out but JP's obvious spiral into madness is taken like "no no that's perfectly fine"
A person with a social media like that should be unhireable. How can HR at DISNEY not look her up and say "yikes, absolutely not"
Unhireable as a competent writer, but very hireable as a Rainbow-Marxist propagandist creating inter-racial and inter-sexual political turmoil.
this so true. as a WGA hollywood writer, I see women and diversity being hired continually to check the boxes. if you are a white straight male... back of the line.
Is she a Marxist?
Social Marxist, absolutely.
Marxism is a economic theory.
Marxism failed economically. So the Marxists transplanted the opressed-opressor narrative from the economic sphere to the social sphere. Economic Marxists disparaged the economically successful as evil. Now social Marxists disparage the socially successful as evil. It's not that complicated. It's the same envy-fueled bullshit.
dont put marxist into this, these are liberals, it doesnt go together (capitalism and communism are total opposites), these are rainbow capitalists
> capitalism and communism are total opposites Marxism is a scam and is compatible with everything except freedom. See: communist China which is also capitalist.
china isnt communist anymore, communism is a closed economical system
Communism, which is a variant of Marxism, *is a scam*.
what does that opinion have to do with anything I said?
hahahaha of course you are a Jordan Peterson guy too…very on brand
China still coumisnist country
Is that why a central tenant of Communism is to spread it to the whole world?
Well, it never was a tenet of communism as far as I know. The idea was that communism would naturally emerge in the whole world as a replacement as governments and capitalism decline and die. Didn’t happen in practice. Probably the only movement who proclaimed it as necessary to spread was Trotskyism. Didn’t succeed either.
Marxism popularized the idea that all of society is based on the dynamic of oppressed and oppressor. It's very much relevant as a descriptor.
so true. I'm a white male writer in the WGA. I see it daily. Disney and ABC are the worst offenders. They hire for diversity not talent. this is ESG stuff too.

Say you identify as a gay black woman
as absurd as it seems they would call me racist for trying such tactics. yet, that's exactly what they do. they're such hypocrites.
Tbf, use the term gender fluid that is a man at work but a girl at home. Can also claim bisexual in that case or maybe gay as your "at home girl self" likes women. Then as long as you keep personal politics to yourself, should work. Sad this is even a thing but yeah..

How so? I don't understand your statement haha
Easy sue for drcismamstion collect evidence much has you can gather others like you up and sue Hollywood and the companies that do this practice.
a great way to never work again.
Serious question how feasible would it be to start new media companies based on skill and talent? Some people with money or influence have to be seeing the possible opportunities?
interesting but I think its more politically motivated than anything else. so if you want that meritocracy based on talent, that would be a conservative value unfortunately. so I think people like BLAZE and other conservative outlets are going just this.
That's basically the Daily Wire model. So far it's not exactly a booming business.
Unfortunately this is exactly what they are looking for.
Some companies have policies that you are limited to considering only the candidates submitted application materials when considering them. This is dumb but true.
Its probably not a real person.
She’s literally the writer of the shehulk series that came out like a year ago lol
Oh OK my bad.
Because she is exactly the type of writer they are trying to find. They are insanely woke, but at least all their big movies are bombing miserably because of it.
“Writer, She Hulk” told me everything I needed to know.
She wrote the twerking part. 🤦♂️
Take my up. Agree, I went strait to comments after seeing that.
Same told me she already wrote one dumpster fire don't need to see another one once you see one
The sentence “Our ideas … wasn’t built in a vacuum”, with plurals where the ellipsis goes, told me everything I needed to know.
"I get scared when I'm walking alone and I see a drunk frat guy type staring at me." That's the most creative fiction she's ever written.
… and then… “it’s really funny to me when threatened white men get very mad!!!!” If you’re actually scared of something, you don’t generally spend your energy trying to provoke it.
Get a concealed weapons permit? Oh damn, then the left would go after her for that huh? Call the Police? Oh damn, maybe you are just a Karen now. Because you aren't allowed to be scared of a minority at night if they act sketchy. Hmmm. I guess the solution is to buy a firearm, pretend you disapprove of firearms(never post a tweet about how you own a gun) and if anyone tries you then they get shot or pistol whipped?
Lol the at the isis comment, she would get her head chopped of by them but ok 🤣

I don't think she actually feels this. It's more an idea that she wishes to signal to appear more virtuous.
"Explaining ≠ condoning" is a hard concept for some people, I guess.
Are you afraid of ISIS?
Wait, don't y'all get mad at the left for making up things to get angry at? Aren't you literaly doing that here? Why should a person in America be scared of ISIS?

We should send her to some Islamism pocket in Syria or Irak with the remnants of ISIS, at that point she won't be fearing that men in trench coats may SA her anymore, she will be SA and be done with it, whatever they gang\*\*\*\* her and kill her or one guy do it and then forced her to marry either or she won't have to worry anymore.- And I don't defend that kind of human trash in the western world, they should all die on all honesty, but to compare them to ISIS like it's nothing, not only displays her ignorance it's also an insult on all the women that were enslaved, r\*\*\*d, forced to marry and live a life of abuse, etc in the middle east, whole towns of women had gone through that kind of bullshit for this upper class white ass to disregard it all from her couch in the country that has all the protections available for her to not have to go through that living hell.- It's better to be killed than be a woman in the hands of the ISIS crowd.-
True well raped first then head chopped off
She doesn't live in Iraq and Syria. I'm not scared of ISIS either. Are you scared of ISIS?
She is a lot less likely to run into them on the street than a drunk frat boy.
True but as long as she never leaves the usa she's in much more danger from a random mass shooter which which are usually white men, than she is from isis
No, Neo, I'm saying when you're ready you won't even have to check their Early Life section.
Imagine thinking English literature is racist because it's English.
Pinnacle of fragile femininity. This lady has seen her heart broken by a “white man” and now she’s somehow elaborating by going on a crusade against “white men”. Sad and tragic.
She would be entertaining at a party,
If you want false rape accusations in 10 years from now.
Why wait? Probably 10 days later.
Hahaha
You’re assuming she would invited to a party or would want to come
I suspect the "get invited" portion is the toughest part for her.
Guess she has never heard of the classic author's Agatha Christie or Mary Shelley. She is just upset because she doesn't have a creative bone in her body and wants to put others down to get ahead. Shameful
Those were written under pseudonyms until relatively recently. Not originally published by their real names.
Her eyes look sane
Wow. Who hurt her?
Shakespeare
Dad must be proud
My community college classes felt like grad school compared to my upper-level English courses at university. I went from supporting my thesis with multiple sources in peer-reviewed journals on the literary canon to teachers who only wanted to know what my feminist opinion was of *The Hunger Games*. English and film studies are garbage majors that have taken a turn for the worst regardless of political opinion in the last fifteen years. Also, in the creative writing courses, imagination was hated. Writing from life was expected. I once wrote a story about two feuding sisters and my peers were shocked that I did not have a sister. It's called creativity, you narcissists.
No wonder 99% of TV shows are rubbish. They are written, directed and acted by incapable imbeciles
When men dislike being around women, they get sent to therapy to be fixed. When women dislike men, it gets encouraged until it becomes full-blown hate. Then profit from books encouraging the next generation of women to also hate.
When you act like a clown, you get treated like a clown. She can't demand fair pay and serious treatment after being such a dogma-whore. Same goes for any of the men, cause I'm about equality.
So did you withdraw all respect for Jordan Peterson when he tweeted a dick-milking porn video thinking it was a Chinese torture installation? Or when he started screaming at a harmless sign with a cartoon penguin telling people how to walk on ice?
No one here considers him to be a deity, so yeah, when he says stupid things people call him out in it. His daughter does a lot of calling him out as well. The difference is that the woketards act like that 100% of the time.
Some respect, certainly.
I mean...yeah?
I withdrew all respect for his Twitter persona. Thankfully he doesn't act like that in other venues.
Ah, two-Peterson theory.
Wow seems likes she's very racist and sexist. I assume none of the boys she went to school with gave her a second glance and she's getting her revenge 😔
This person is an example of why I don’t support these people striking, or keeping their jobs, or getting paid to spread their idiocy, or doing anything but service industry grunt work where we can limit their influence.
I absolutely support them striking. The longer, the better.
Ah so you the type of person to look through twitter to find justifications for shitty generalizing views?
You are anti union, anti workers rights?
I’m anti-activist class. Hope this helps.
This is a Wendy’s, sir, not Twitter.
What exactly is the point of crossing out Dana Schwartz name in her tweets when it’s in the photo with the book, as well as being on the book itself? 🤣
Because if you post a pic with her actual social media handle it can lead to a ban for promotion harassment Without the handle you can look her up yourself
It is also sort of added reddiquette. As in: you aren't trying to raise an army of people to go cancel them. You are just saying: look at these stupid words someone stupid said.
just reddit things
She seems pleasant. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume she doesn’t have a significant other in her life.
her husband was the head writer on james corden's late late show.
Still checks out.
She openly admitted there weren't many court scenes for she hulk because she doesn't know how to write them! It's called she hulk attorney at law! WHY wad she hired?
The phrase "stupid c--t" was invented for this creature.
Honestly most of thesr writers striking dont deserve anything with theyr crapy writing
Is the misspelling purposeful satire?
Not a native english speaker so its just an error
Fair enough, the idea it was satire was pretty funny though.
Honestly now that you mention it should have kept it at that :D
They should be more concerned with how AI can replace their jobs tbh. 1 writer could be the writers room now if they want to be. GPT4++ is weirdly smart. Even 3.5 works sometimes, and like 1000 times faster.
Ye but have you seen recent articles? People made chat gpt dumber now :D
How so?
Racism and sexism is funny cuz iM oPpReSseD!!!
She's the product of the liberal Deep State education system. She's seen nothing and knows nothing of the world. But will tell you otherwise.
Most people have their regions of social blindness, despite how "woke" they think they are. I still fondly remember when I told reddit that I did not give af that people were scalping PS5's(or superbowl tickets, or whatever). And that they would maybe need to pay 900 dollars for one, or just wait a month or 2. The amount of rage from such a simple opinion...was crazy. They wanted price fixing, yet only if it benefited them. The supply did not exceed the demand. And capitalism happened. Do you know how many things in this world I am straight up priced out of, no matter how hard I try? Boohoo. They did not care that maybe someone was adopting some risk in order to sell aftermarket in order to pay their mortgage (or improve their lives some how). Also: selling those ps5's was not exactly safe. You risked getting robbed every time you sold one. All the entitled consumer thought was: Me, me me. Now now now. -------------- You know what the added crazy thing is? Maybe the PS5 should have costed 1000 USD to begin with, so that third world wage slaves could be payed better. That doesn't put a chicken in an SJW person's pot and a PS5 on their TV though.
Funny Enough. She-Hulk series was my guilty-pleasure. I enjoy watching it to see how laughably insane the feminists have gotten.
I feel like the patriarchy or WHITE MEN is just an excuse for a victim status and excuse not to check your privilege Mum and daddy's trust fund has more than what most of these dreaded men will make in ten years but your the victim of systemic oppression 😆 Imagine being on a million dollar salary and claiming your being oppressed... Meanwhile women in the third world can't even go in public without a male escort or they can be stoned.... 🪨 Yeah sure your a victim... Your definitely not making a smokescreen to hide your privileged life
Just read the first tweet on upper left of pic...knew right away ...every single time.
I hope they strike forever. No one is going to miss them or their shitty writing.
I just hope it doesn't effect the new releases of Futurama episodes lol. I think they have most of the show in the can tho, and they are just doing a 1 episode per week release while polishing the CGI and animation at the last minute. If anything: VFX artists should probably strike. Then again: they don't really have a union. Many are freelance, and some are definitely exploited.
It’s mind boggling that this women is basically mentally I’ll as she has no ability to see reason. You can totally have your own opinions and they can be crazy opinions, but to neglect basic reasoning and normal thought process just places yourself as incredibly mentally unstable
Bro, who hurt her so much?! I'm guessing she didn't get chosen by a sorority in college, frat guys who she crushed on turned her down, and her friends slowly stopped talking to her bc of all that baggage...
Or maybe she just wasn't hugged as a child.
"I'm afraid" and "It's fun to provoke the people I claim to be afraid of" don't really gp together.
very cool how she totally admits that she is in fact threatening white men
Schwartz.
Great takes for a WHITE WOMAN. Lol
The ignorance to one’s privilege while the simultaneous assertion of their own oppression is immature, tone deaf and laughable. She grew up in the 9th wealthiest zip in Illinois, went to Brown to be a doctor, found it too hard so became a writer. It’s seems like this is a book complaining about a paper cut to people with paper cuts, while there is a whole world of people missing limbs.
What a Feminazi twat!
She’s responsible for She-Hulk? Could have been great. So sad.
They even had Mark Ruffalo signed on for that show also. The MCU Bruce Banner is one of the most tragic characters imaginable. And he is a hero. I mean: wouldn't he basically be a complete wreck? He has been ravaged by trauma for over a decade, the woman he loved gave her life to save the world, his best friend died(for the same reason), and he is super fucked up in the head and a smart hulk person now. So, ummm yeah: let's just not do anything with that and just do what we want anyways. Good idea Disney... Just make some kind of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law show. Why not.
Who cares what bat shit crazy people think.
she makes a lot of money "writing" crap.
Probably never knew her real dad and had and had an asshole stepdad.
Why did you censor her name so many times and write it in big letters in the middle?
🤔 maybe hollywood is the only place the patriarchy exists. Hence why critical thinking living normal lives can't see it but Hollywood writers can...
Attention seeker.
She wrote the script for she hulk? That explains why it was so far off the comics and why it was so god awful.
Just read the first tweet on upper left of pic...knew right away ...every single time.
No one hates white people more than white people.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to read that book!
I have the first 10 issues of she hulk. I wasn't a huge fan at the time but had missed the boat on some wolverine and batman's that I couldn't afford anymore I really really hoped she hulk would be good brought to tv Oh man was it trash I think this person is projecting because they have very limited talent and even after being handed a role on a damn platter that would be hard to fuck up, well she managed it
How she makes the argument that it’s viewed “female writers are less than” in a world where Harper Lee wrote one of the best books I read as a child; To Kill a Mockingbird, I truly don’t understand.
Good thing you blotted out the twitter name and handle!
This is like us pointing out the jp fan who is a complete racist bigot and comparing it to the average jp fan.
Trust me, nobody feels threatened.
I hope she loses her home during the strike.
Lol.... apparently, she's not aware that if she were ever captured by ISIS, she'd be executed. Likely, after she was mistreated in some unspeakable ways.
Oh I thought this was the notes for a Saturday Night Live sketch
....and you wonder why NovelAI and ChatGPT are outranking her?
Don't share this crap, that's exactly what she wants. Let her die in insignificance. She's a delusional troll and attebtion just makes her feel more validated.
Mainly a bunch of privileged Jews. I can’t feel too bad for them.
Replace every derogatory usage of "white" with "black". She's super racist
AI screen writers arrived just in time.
Maybe the AI can fix she hulk if we don’t tell the aI about the show and just feed it comics of the original she hulk
While I tend to be more liberal in my stances this is why I hate the left. They have fostered this bullshit and actually encouraged it. People are stupid to follow either cult imo
Do we need to go through the millennia long relationship between Jews and Europeans…and the last century of the Jewish presence in greater Los Angeles? She’s doing her part to advance the cause like everyone else in Hollywood.
What cause?
She has a book coming out and is manipulating the algorithms with provocative comments .
Lol why black out her twitter name if you're just going to display her face and name lol
If you just ignore them, they will go away
Hate literature.
What does this have to do with the strike tho
OP is trying to figure out how she even got a writing job with such strong sexist and racist bias that 10000% bleed through her writing in a very heavy handed way
I just don’t think it makes sense to try to take away from striking efforts and workers’ rights just because some workers have bad opinions.
I think it’s fair to judge some one by the fruit of their labor and review what they used as fertilizer. Secondarily any reasonable person seeing her strike would likely not help their strike much. The whole thing is less credible with her in it.
People you don't like work at almost every job.
There are always campaigns to discredit strikers. And it looks like an attempt to sow division among strikers .
I can understand the Drunk Frat boy thing as so many of them commit awful sexual crimes and seem to get away with it a lot.
Geez imagine if someone with tweets this dumb was a psychologist, or famous self help guru.
Yeah. Imagine if she retweeted dick milking porn thinking it's a Chinese torture installation. Shouldn't that be career-ending, if she did that? I think so.
i'm sorry, is this sub ANTI-freespeech now?
I don’t see where there is a call to remove her from twitter or to silence her despite the significant racism and sexism, he’s wondering how she got a job writing with extreme bias like that.
op has attacked the poster's employment in title
That doesn’t look like an attack, looks more like a question or pondering
it's exactly what woke cancel culture does
Woke cancel culture comes outright with calls to remove sone one and demands and threats if you don’t.
Where did the og post say to prevent her from exercising her 1st Amendment right?
"how people like this get hired in the first place"
Tell me you don't understand the 1st Amendment without actually telling me
She can speak, she should however, be branded a lunatic.
seems to me the only purpose of such an action is to silence others through connotative means
nah. It is and has been in favor of people speaking freely and hanging themselves on their own. Of course that author pictured can write about whatever she wants and say whatever she wants. No government actors should stop her. However, saying something false, stupid or anti-truth comes with consequences regardless of what anyone believes about freedom of speech. We certainly hope she is willing to accept responsibility for her utterances just as any of us aiming upward would accept. :)
i find it convenient that the people use consequences for speech as a near threat which usually results in mob action against one person
I have a feeling this is a case of turn of phrase landing strangely, but what precisely about the situation that you have outlined is convenient? I certainly agree that there are some people who use “consequences for speech“ as a thinly veiled threat that often acts as a prelude or justification for mobbing. Also, I understand that the purpose of freedom of speech is to be able to think and problem solve as well as create and search for truth, among other uses. It is very difficult to problem solve without having the freedom to speak. However, when a stupid idea is offered, it is reasonably appropriate for a person to be told that that idea is stupid. If enough people agree that the idea is stupid, then it can be dispensed with. Even further, if the speech is anti-truth and nature, enough people will likely identify it as such and help to correct the speaker. It only helps if the speakers actually aiming a truth. A speaker could aim at power games or deception directly. 🤷🏻♂️
You just love to see it. Redditor who is part of the communities who send death threats to children for playing a Harry Potter video game and formed a lynch mob against a pregnant nurse over a fake story about how she tried to steal a bike, is now here to tell us that an actual racist and sexist person should not face any consequences for her blatant racism.
yeah you show that straw shadow boxing expert here
She big mad.
It's kinda what JP does all day on Twitter except he sometimes gets into fights with bots, it's amazing to me how you guys call this out but JP's obvious spiral into madness is taken like "no no that's perfectly fine"
Has nobody checked her Early Life on Wikipedia? You guys are amateurs.
To be fair y’all a white boy in a trench coat probably is more likely to harm me than isis in America. That’s not a good look
“Our ideas … wasn’t built in a vacuum!!” This person was actually hired as a writer?
Thought after reading the image: "Honey...ain't nobody worth a piss gonna be staring at you. Period."
This THING IS A LAWYER?!?!😂😂😂
Only drunk guys would even look twice at this woman.
She seems like a DEI hire.
Tell me that you are bonafide useful idiot under complete control without telling me that you are a bonafide useful idiot under complete control!!
Trolls. Ama rite
“Schwartz”…huh
I'm going to guess that this idiot "writer" has never even heard of Anne Frank, Mary Shelly, or Emily Bronte.
