Why can't Mel Gibson just go away?

[-] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 24 points 1 week ago

Conservative shitheads never know when to quit for the betterment of humanity. That's why they have to be made to quit.

[+] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -19 points 1 week ago

Okay, but are we now downvoting media based on a single person involved? Because, maties-- there's been a metric fuck-tonne of films and media produced by describably awful people, going back 100yrs, easily.

Yeah, and right-wing shitheads have always be an ongoing problem, we know this, but the particular reviewer skill has always been the ability to 'separate art from artist.'

So yeah, it suggests right here to get the flock over yourselves, and grow the ability to examine a piece upon its own merits. Thank you.

It shouldn't be controversial to think mel Gibson things suck and that he should go away.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

That would be a pretty brain-dead take if you're familiar with his actual filmic history, and I say that as someone who's never been a personal fan of his.

Enjoy your meaningless upvotes, though.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

An antisemite who hasn't made a movie worth a shit in 20+ years can eat shit, and so can anyone who sticks up for him.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Haha, nice little narrative twist, there.

Oh well, enjoy your burning, righteous toxicity.

so can anyone who sticks up for him.

Once again a perfectly massive misreading of my entire set of points. I.e. Jews are some of the most awesome people I know, but Zionists..? Not so much.

You and your ridiculous whitewashing of anything that doesn't meet your exact standards is just... unfortunate to me, and always will be.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I have no idea what you're talking about but you definitely stood up for mel Gibson as one of these "it is required to separate the art from the artist" bullshit arguments. No one knows wtf you're babbling about other than that.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

No one knows

Ah... good ol' weasel-words, is it not?
(psst-- do you also paint your face orange in imitation?)

“it is required to separate the art from the artist” bullshit arguments.

Yeap! That's the core argument right there. Well-recognised. And if you're on the other side... yeah, I get it.

Problem..?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Are you high? Do you think I'm someone else?

Absolutely no one is required to separate art from artist and you telling me that may as well be you telling me to like a food I dislike. It's idiotic.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

Well, you're certainly not Dick Tracy! LOL

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

So yes, you're high. Got it. I don't get that stupid when I'm high but it makes sense that others do.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

You got nothin' and you know it.

Just a sanctimonious attitude, and an asshole, just like we all have. Allowing the pooping out of nonsense opinion that was temporarily upvoted.

Right back to being a toddler in diapers, is it not? :D

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Go simp for mel Gibson some more. And then rage at people who speak against it. It's not weird and it's a very good use of time. Think of all the popularity contests you'll win! neo-Nazis are gonna love you.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

Interesting how your missed every single point, all the way. Is it an ego thing, or...?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

There was one point. Fuck mel Gibson and his simps. Bye.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -2 points 1 week ago

Exactly.
And here's a toast upon you honestly stating that upfront, next time?

Yeah, bye.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I did. Maybe learn to read before engaging in a masturbatory rage fest in text?

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -2 points 1 week ago

blubluhbluhbluh...

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You're bad at trolling

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You are snarking at someone whose Lemmy instance literally disabled downvoting when it was initially rolled out. I couldn't downvote someone even if I wanted to. It's also a major part of why I chose this instance. I never see downvotes, I only see upvotes.

Go preach and take your bullshit ass assumptions to someone else, shitbird. I can have my own opinion and it doesn't mean I'm reflexively downvoting... Which leads me to...

Last but not least... I had actually upvoted this, motherfucker, as I always try to remember to do with threads I interact with. Why? Because Lemmy doesn't have a lot of traffic and activity, so any interaction that boosts interaction is positive, especially if it fosters discussion, even if I myself am just pissing into the wind. Upvote histories on Lemmy are actually visible behind the scenes as well, so it's not impossible for you to check this (fairly sure it includes timestamps as well, so it can show I upvoted before this comment was made). (EDIT: looks like you have to use something like mbin/kbin or apps that show this info[havent tried yet], or you have to be an admin. EDIT II: You can definitely see them with timestamps on mbin, but currently the mbin server I joined only has recent post for me as of three hours ago and not current, see bottom of post Figure EDIT II)

God you couldn't have picked a worse target to shit all over.

Figure EDIT II (enlarge in new tab if needed):

[-] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago

rofl you think votes have meaning as to what gets traction outside of Lemmy!?

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -5 points 1 week ago

Congratulations for missing 99% of the relevant points, lol.

Oh well... angry gonna angry, and self-righteous gonna self-righteous? XD

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hey guess what its stupid when you yell your relevant point at someone who has nothing to do with the point you're making yet choosing them specifically to single out. Maybe choose to shit on someone who actually disagrees with your take. The main point is that people are downvoting it, you don't actually know if I ever intend to view the art on it's own merits, you're making a shit ass assumption because other people are downvoting it and I made clear my distaste for Gibson. Fucking idiot.

[+] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lol... how is it that you seem to turn any opportunity whatsoever in to a toxic opportunity to go to ideological battle upon your 'opponent?'

When's the last time you received a good hug, for example?

Want a hug, matey...? ❤️

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I just checked my own post history and it's interesting because I have to go back 2 and a half months to even find a thread where I had a genuine disagreement with someone. But sure, months of being involved in friendly helpful conversations has no bearing, nor does the fact that I was accused of something I wasn't doing in this instance. Yeah, I really turn any opportunity whatsoever to argue, sure guy, just as I'm sure that when someone accuses you of something you're not doing you definitely don't feel upset about it all ever for sure.

[-] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago

Oh, is it necessary now to post our online CV's in order to try to strengthen our arguments? Along with the virtue-signalling?

That could be fun.

Anyway, I recall your basic premise being highly flawed, and I vaguely recall that being what we were arguing about. I also seem to recall you getting personal for no apparent reason. In truth, I was also tossing a couple back last night, and probably responded somewhat along those lines.

I'll look over what the argument was about later, and respond if I think it necessary. Ta-ta for now.

[-] LilRed@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

But why though?

[-] BlameTheAntifa@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

Money

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It's what Jesus would do? I don't know. Never met the guy actually.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Because no one else will. /s

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 13 points 1 week ago

Somehow, Jesus returned.

Lazy Hollywood and the need for sequels.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 13 points 1 week ago

Amateur. Took him 22 years to do what Jesus did in three days. Now we have to wait another 22 years to get ‘Part 2: Ascension’?

Amateur

[-] etherphon@piefed.world 8 points 1 week ago

Sadly most of the people going to see this movie or promote this movie do not listen to a word this brother says.

[-] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Produced by Stephen Miller, costume donated by President Dr. Jesus Christ

[-] geekwithsoul@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago

Missed a chance by not titling it: "Jesus 2: Electric Boogaloo"

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

is the sequel where Mel Gibson eats a gun for real? I'd watch that shit

[-] angryred67@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

oh geez

[-] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's about a doctor?

[-] numbermess@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Teenjus, now

[-] passenger@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I hope it's a trilogy and bloody as hell! Haven't seen Passion though because I'm too scared.

Gibson can go fk himself though, and I'm not being serious

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Not scary. It cerrainly not a fun watch because it has heavy torture scenes. It was overall meh in my memories.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

if you are going to make a movie about christianity which is finction include the angels.

[-] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Truly a godly man.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago

I was really hoping to see Jim Caviezel playing Jesus again. All his mental illnesses aside, he was awesome in Person of Interest.
