  • Media criticism has become so full of right-wing messaging, that quality-slop doesn’t sound off-base. Kinda like poes law.

    These CHOADS take the time to learn media-criticism jargon and aesthetics, but they use those to make single-digit ‘your Dad’ type complaints. The most popular being the existence of black actors.

    I’ve seen people vehemently argue scientific accuracy in Star Wars. People are aggregated right now at the “unrealistic” casting of black actors in a Cyclops movie. Next to this insanity, quality-slop sounds pretty reasonable.


  • Also…you don’t think that LAWYERS willing to go up against Meta would have rock solid proof from these whistleblowers FIRST before filing a lawsuit?

    This is not how civil court works. It’s not trial by combat. There is no standard for the quality of lawsuits filed. And despite what the ambulance chasers say on TV, Layers get paid even when they loose.

    “alleged in a lawsuit…” is the same level of credibility as “they out here saying…”.



  • Tick Tock was always heavier with moderation that the other socials. It was rare for content to be blocked or removed. They simply didn’t promote videos with objectionable political content. And since the nature of the platform is choosing videos for you, most users never noticed. Meta and Alphabet were taking notes and I’d be surprised if Youtube and Facebook aren’t starting to work more that way.

    So the new owners are not worse than the Chinese, just less elegant and subtle.





  • For every 100 rapes reported to the police, about 3 people will go to prison.

    Our political leaders are known rapists.

    In the Catholic pedophile scandals, it’s not uncommon for the parents of victims to side with the Church.

    In all the hullabaloo over the Epstein files is about what powerful men are going to be embarrassed. Nobody is even talking about how to prevent billionaires from being able to snatch teenagers off the street.

    Western culture loves and celebrates the rape of little boys and girls, why should our porn be more benevolent than our society?
