Considering how Milo is seen as the ultimate evil among feminists I'd really like to know how he used the original movie to hurt people? Is this because some Twitter trolls who friended him attacked Leslie Jones? He wasn't part of that as far as I'm aware. He disliked the reboot movie as did everyone but launched a protest against it as any fan of any other movie franchise would if they were hardcore about it. Of course doing that is a bit much but not sure how he alone has used the original movie to hurt people.
JurorNo.2 wrote:But there are many feminists who do indeed care about these issues. Milo and his ilk fear monger about feminism to a ridiculous degree.
The most vocal, disturbed feminists are unfortunately the ones that get most attention in social media. Those I believe are the people Milo is fighting against.
SpaceBallz wrote:Have you guys seen "The Red Pill" documentary? I think everybody should. It's very good.
I haven't seen it but I can't believe the uproar it's caused. Cassie Jaye makes a documentary that supports men in a positive way and immediately feminists and the mainstream media call it misogynistic and want it banned. It really shows how one sided mainstream media has become.

Everyone goes on about death threats towards women involved in 'progressive' media but when this poor woman tries to allow people to see the other side she's attacked:

I don't know about "ultimate evil", but he's generally considered a douchebag asshole. He hasn't just stirred trouble in relation to the Ghostbusters reboot, he's made a name for himself for being generally intolerant regarding a number of issues (transgender rights, gay rights, feminism in general, Islam - to name some of the more publicised incidents).

There isn't some conspiracy to discredit him, he's earned people's ire by generally being a terrible attention-seeking human being.

The two ironies I can think of is 1) he himself is gay so I would think he knows what's he talking about and 2) not all the time but occasionally he's right in what he says although he sometimes tells the kind of truth people don't wish to hear.

What I find funny is people are quick to label me one thing based on one comment I make without getting to know me. On YouTube comments someone will accuse me of being alt-left when in fact I agree with them while on Facebook someone I'm Facebook friends with like David Wise will attack me for being alt-right because I made one comment saying that sometimes Milo is correct in his views.

People seem to attack others over social media because they take extreme sides (Wise, YTs etc) without understanding that some people like myself can be in the middle. It just goes to show that unless you bother to speak to someone directly face to face you're assuming and as I was told at a previous job assuming is the 'mother of all f***ups'.
Alphagaia wrote:But since you yourself already placed 'probably' before 'actual truth', I see you at least doubting his evidence as well.
I'm not saying I totally think Timeware is correct. While Feig and Sarkeesian know each other I don't see any evidence to say they both together orchestrated feminist propaganda as part of their masterplan. Sure Feig was pressured from Dippold, the studio head and maybe some of his feminist friends but it was mostly down to Feig at the end of the day. If feminists are praising the movie that came after the announcement, when the film was in production. My point is that it's worth listening to Timeware because some of the info he's compiled is useful in understanding Paul Feig's social media contacts.

Not sure if you're aware but The Simpsons recently aired an episode make fun of people like Sarkeesian, Feig, Emma Watson, Joss Whedon etc. Apparently social justice people haven't taken kindly to this negative portrayal of them which is just fine by me. It's good to see The Simpsons back to being a better show:

Milo has been noted as suggesting gay rights were "detrimental to humanity", and that gay men "should go back into the closet", that being gay is "aberrant" and "a lifestyle choice guaranteed to bring (gay people) pain and unhappiness".

He may be gay, but he does not speak for the gay community, for the lack of a better word, he's a traitor to it, lending support to the worst of the popular talking points employed by the anti-gay rights movement.

And as noted before, he has used similar intolerant rhetoric towards the transgender community.
pferreira1983 wrote:2) not all the time but occasionally he's right in what he says although he sometimes tells the kind of truth people don't wish to hear.
He echoes the sentiment and opinions that's often popular with people who object to socially-progressive movements, that doesn't actually make him right, and it makes whatever "truths" he supposedly exposes of dubious quality as just how "true" they are can be openly debated/questioned.

He's an attention-seeking mouthpiece with the morals of pond scum, he is not someone any reasonable person should consider a friend, hero, role model or representative.

Like I said a lot of well known political celebrities talk rubbish so I can't agree with everything he says. I do feel that transgender has become a fashion now and not an identity but he still overreacts like most left people.

That of course is your opinion but anyone who challenges the social justice idiots he criticises is fine in my book. While I don't wish to be in the dark ages I also don't want to get to the point where wearing a purple t-shirt brings a social media movement against me. Actually we're already there as my Simpsons clip just showed but in your opinion I know you'll say 'oh Simpsons is unreliable today anyway'.

It's a long story and would take forever to get into. Pretty much everything I've said on David's FB page he's criticised me for. I tend to find it doesn't take much for me to annoy him, he's that kind of person, difficult to like. He likes to point out how dumb I am in his response posts and says I need to learn better 'reading comprehension skills' on a post where I was right and he was actually wrong. This is typical David Wise, as I said meeting or talking to your heroes isn't always what's it cracked up to be. It's upsetting for me someone I am a fan of treats me this way but... :( Like people such as Kingpin and Alpha he very much leans to the left. His constant denial of Trump as President (because Clinton would be better???) as well as the constant FB notification posts I get where he compares Trump to Richard Nixon are getting extremely tiring.

Recently while ranting about Trump again and me saying Clinton couldn't have done better he called me out to Doctor Who writer Rob Shearman and started posting a couple of previous FB messages where I argued once Milo was correct about something so this triggered so Wise whined to Shearman I'm apparently alt-right, blah blah blah. I explained this isn't the case and whatever, didn't get an apology as usual for his rude behaviour and I'm one of his fans. :shock:

As a rule Wise:
- doesn't like anybody who's not at least a bit left
- doesn't like people who show they know more than him on his FB posts
- is really fanboy snobbish about stuff so you are wrong to like stuff he doesn't like
- must hate Trump and think Hilary Clinton is absolutely amazing
- can't say you like any other iteration of TMNT unless it's the 80s cartoon
- don't post spoilers even by accident or he'll swear at you

I'm sure there's more. I have to say though I'm quite happy with the way I handled David recently.

So you're saying you're fine with some of the things people like Milo and Trump say so long as it challenges the people you feel are "social justice idiots"? I want to make sure I'm understanding you fully.

As for the Simpsons, yeah, I admit I didn't care for the SJW/fembot gag, but it's a free country, and they've roasted liberal and conservative alike in the years gone past. I just don't find the show funny anymore, or at the very least all that frequently, when I used to really enjoy it.

I lean right on some issues and left on others, and I suppose the ones I speak more actively on would be considered "issues of liberality". I consider myself either as conservative with a liberal streak, or liberal with a conservative streak. If it helps label me better, I try to take the "live and let live" approach as best I can... I tend to prefer government measures, laws and social movements that improve people's lives, and help those who may have been targets of prejudice in the past, over measures that intentionally or unintentionally blight lives, and embolden prejudice.

Maybe Sony is out of touch with the public, but IDW surely is very strong linked.
I hope their ideas will be taken into consideration for future animated and live action movies.

If someone wants to change their gender by all means but in a lot of cases I feel it's starting to become like getting a tattoo. Someone wants to be identified by a gender because they support some politics so they decide to change gender. I'm not for that but it does happen.
Kingpin wrote:So you're saying you're fine with some of the things people like Milo and Trump say so long as it challenges the people you feel are "social justice idiots"? I want to make sure I'm understanding you fully.
We live in a world now where if someone dislikes the colour of someone's jumper it becomes a race or gender issue, soon social media becomes a rallying cry for these idiots. Those are the people I refer to. On the occasion Trump or Milo or anyone else are correct in criticising these people then I'm all for that. That restriction of how to live your life just isn't right plus you probably know if you tried to please every left wing view these people still wouldn't be happy. If we listen to every left wing person the world wouldn't function properly. Unfortunately the popular mainstream media supports every liberal view it seems and I think that's worrying.

The people complaining I guess don't seem to realise that the show makes fun of everyone but I think it's good The Simpsons got around to addressing this craziness, shows it's not afraid to take risks.
Kingpin wrote:You don't have to be a Paul Feig fan to be able to condemn Milo and what he stands for.
I won't condemn Milo for coming out as gay, I won't condemn him for leaving his job because of articles about abuse when he's been abused. It's great to vilify people but in not all cases are they wrong that's why I don't understand your comments like "what he stands for." Unlike what David Wise might say I'm not Milo's biggest fan but anyone who's willing to criticise crazy left wing social justice people isn't totally wrong.

That's great but you can't label someone right or left or middle based on some comments posted here. It doesn't give you a clear picture of someone. It comes across as reactionary. I believe in freedom as well. I hate what conservative parties have done in the past. Not a Teresa May fan, not a Cameron, Major and certainly not a Margaret Thatcher fan. I prefer a balance between left and right wing values. It shouldn't really matter anyway. :)

I thought about unfollowing him it's just I find his TMNT posts interesting. I just feel annoyed that every week on the Technodrome TMNT forum I'm defending his contributions to the show and getting harassment as a result while on Facebook unaware of this he criticises what I have to say in any post. Maybe he likes being triggered?

pferreira1983 wrote:Anyway I'm going to try to enjoy the rest of my birthday. :)
Happy Birthday!

As far as Milo, here's the thing: I'm very against political correctness. Primarily, that means I'm against knee jerk reactions that older movies like Trading Places are "racist." Plus I feel political correctness makes people afraid to speak, rather than encourage dialogue. That's why I'm against it. Unfortunately, Milo is against it for very different reasons. He uses his freedom of speech to be insulting and juvenile. The opposite of political correctness should not be "freedom to be an asshole." ;) Social media, where Milo and his ilk thrive, has ruined discourse and debate, IMO. Which makes them just as dangerous as political correctness.

And thankfulky, the mainstream Republicans seem to have recognized this about him. His jokes about abuse were awful. I understand Brits often have a more...hmm...caustic wit than Americans are used to, but if he wants to live and work here, he does need to adapt. Just the way anyone else would. I know he's a victim himself, which leads me to say he needs help, not a Twitter account.

As for David Wise, don't take it too personally, some artists are just ornery sort of people and since he's not super famous he's probably not used to putting on a friendly PR face. And he's not the only one who is worried about Trump (and it's not just the left). I'd personally just avoid talking politics and be supportive of his work.

That's a pretty ignorant oversimplification of the transitioning process, transitioning isn't something you can get done in a weekend or a couple of weeks, or on a drunken night out.
pferreira1983 wrote:Someone wants to be identified by a gender because they support some politics
It has nothing to do with politics, and I would be honestly, greatly surprised if you were able to present me with an example of someone transitioning solely because of their political views. Transitioning is about helping those who feel they were born as the wrong gender reach something that helps them feel more comfortable in their own skin.

It's not done because "it's the trendy thing to do".

What?

Since when has anybody here asked you to do that? (the answer clearly is nobody) I'm asking you to condemn the more despicable claims he's made, and maybe not to quickly tie yourself to his standard, just because he may say a few things that resonate with you.
pferreira1983 wrote:when he's been abused.
He's a professional victim, not to mention a troll and a bully. As someone who was the victim of bullying in school, I can see a genuine victim and I can see someone who acts the part as part of a persecution complex. Milo does not does not deserve sympathy for having to leave his job or for having his own feelings hurt, those are the results of the life and actions he has led, which have frequently lacked consideration for how they'd affect other people.
He isn't the first bully, nor the last, to cry victim when the people he tormented finally stand up against him.
pferreira1983 wrote:that's why I don't understand your comments like "what he stands for."
Then permit me to lay out what Milo appears to standsfor (in no particular order):
Homophobia
Transphobia
Racism
Sexism
Anti-femism
Internet harassment and abuse

(And that's just the stuff I felt I could appropriately refer to on this forum)

You may not be his biggest fan, but your willingness to lend some of your support to him when I feel there is a strong argument to leave him standing alone is something I personally find concerning.

A thought I've mused on more than a few times this past year is that, would so many people who are against/very against political correctness be so against it if the benefits they'd gotten from political correctness could be catalogued and pointed out?

I appreciate that political correctness sometimes gets it wrong, goes a little overboard, or is incorrectly implemented by people who had a misguided, but well-meaning approach.

But as someone who has benefitted from it providing laws, legislation, politics and social progress that have improved my life in little ways... I am grateful for it.

Were it not for political correctness, and the attitudes it has generated, I could still be subject to any of the following:
*I could be fired from my job for being gay (and that still happens frequently in several American states).
*I would be considered suffering from a "mental disorder" because of my orientation.
*I would not be able to get married.
*I would not be allowed to adopt (which again, still happens in some American states, and even with some agencies here in the UK).

And in retrospect, I'll still have had it easier than someone who is not white, or not male - they'd have every right to school me on how my benefit from political correctness doesn't even come up to how they've benefitted from it.

I'd call such things progress, open mindedness. The result of education, research, and understanding. And first and formost, discourse. Political correctness is arbitrarily censoring discourse. That is what I cannot abide.

Some yes. In cases like FT Hood, and Ferguson, and BLM it can actually put peoples lives in danger when people with authority are afraid to condemn violence or don't want the racist label thrown at them.

Some people might mean well but they do go overboard in some cases. Paul may have had good intentions with the pay gap issue but he got way to preachy, and very one sided. This is also why I left Proton Charging, and no longer follow Hook ladder and 8 save the fire house face book page.
