Woke Disney does it again

[domer76]

No need for me to read Heller. I have all the guns I need. LOL

Your “40,000+” gun violence numbers are about 2/3s suicides. Almost all of those are with a handgun and a single shot. Do you really think banning ARs will drop those numbers much?

BTW, you can order a single shot musket pistol for suicide through the mail but about 50% of suicides just opt for a necktie and a door jam like Robin Williams.

There’s about 50,000 suicides every year in the US with about half of them using firearms, mainly handguns. How will banning ARs fix this problem??

Did I say banning AR15s would solve that problem? Nothing SOLVES every situation.

Comprehensive background helps, including psychiatric and even social media.

 

[Dutch Uncle]

No, not by any means. All I was saying is that movies made on the basis of political correctness, race, gender, and other "woke" characteristics as the Left would define them, are a nearly 100% sure way to ensure the movie bombs big time at the box office.

That's their problem, not yours or mine.

OTOH, when people deliberately act to tank a movie, is that the movie maker's fault or the fault of the racist fuckwits seeking to tank a movie because it has a black girl actress?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

Yep. People have no business carrying around loaded weapons in the produce section. Other than paranoia.

Tell us the number of assault weapon deaths that are acceptable to you and we can go from there. Obviously, it’s more than hundreds, so we can start at thousands.

Thousands of assault weapon deaths are acceptable to the Appalachian Idiot.

How many suicides and auto deaths are acceptable to you? IMO, it's over 50,000 and over 40,000 respectively.

 

[Damocles]

LOL.

Imagine if Disney chose to hire able bodied actors to pretend they need a wheelchair... wait, who produced Glee? (I don't think they were Disney...) Nowadays, you hire a black actor to play a black part, a Jewish actor to play a Jewish guy, a trans actor to play a trans person, but little people just vanish from the world like a fart in the wind if you are Disney....

Don’t try that bullshit of equating guns and vehicles. It doesn’t wash.

Modern society grinds to a standstill without vehicles. They are critical to the function of our society.

Guns are not. Completely optional. Modern societies do quite well in their absence.

I’d like to see the suicide rate to zero, just like any gun-related death.

Next

Why would anyone watch this movie? It isn't Snow White, and they are not Dwarves... What are they calling this mess? They shouldn't call it Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, that's for sure.... <Girl Name> Brown and the Intersectional Non-Binary Wilderness Folk one of which is Little, maybe?

Says the gun banners. Gun banners believe all rights are unalienable except for self-defense. Then they require Americans to show a "need".

Thank you for admitting that 50,000 suicides and 40,000 auto deaths are acceptable to you.

Et tu Brute?

Why are Trumpers upset over businesses that seek to make a global buck and don't cater to the White Nationalists?

Please. Noticing that the Seven Dwarves are not actually Dwarves and predicting that this movie will die in the box office is wanting them to "cater" to White Nationalists?

The leftists trying to polish this turd up is almost comical, but hey, you go ahead and get your white rag and spit going, they told me in boot camp when I polished shoes to use small round circles... make it shine, even if it is only in your imagination.

You ever consider that it might just be a shitty movie?

 

[Damocles]

Seriously, if you don't want a movie about a snow white girl hanging out with seven adult little people in a wilderness setting, then don't remake Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Make it vanish from the world like the movie Song of the South was made to vanish from the world (not wrong there BTW, as Song of the South was pretty darned racist).

A prediction based upon the Alt-Right hatred of anything they deem "woke"...such as replacing a white cartoon actress with a flesh-and-blood young woman of African-American descent.

IMO, only fucking morons and racist fuckwits think in terms of their own block of the world. They see black and white whereas good capitalists see only green....on a planet of 1.7B+ households with television sets or access to movies for entertainment. It's a lot easier to show a weekly movie in a poor village than to bring in an acting troupe and stage a play. Plus there's more variety in movies than human plays. For the slow: Less cost and more profit in movies. Especially cartoons which are more easily dubbed.

Most of those billions of viewers are likely to have children, thus appealing family entertainment would be favored. Let's not forget how many countries censor movies like Lethal Weapon but are fine with most family movies.

Nah, this is a prediction based on the movie they are remaking and who they hired to portray dwarves. Do you believe that this movie will somehow be a box office hit even though of the 7 dwarves only one is a little person?

 

[zymurgy]

I have too much invested to dump it at this point.

I've been buying Disney since I was 18

that is called the sunken cost fallacy

I'm sure the elite will be fine with their private security guards carrying firearms in public. That is the 2 tier socialist leftwing system.


You want to take away peoples' right to an AR15, as opposed to handguns, and you can not support your reason with statistics, Cracka.

Tell me what percentage of murders are committed with AR15s so I can address the facts.

Why are you so scared to tell the truth? What are you hiding?

 

[IBDaMann]

It's the nature of mass shootings that require large magazine semi-automatics.

So criminals should be prevented from having them, not law-abiding citizens, right? Law-abiding citizens don't commit mass shootings so there's no problem with law-abiding citizens having firearms with magazines. In fact, law-abiding citizens need to be able to defend themselves from the armed criminals, not rendered defenseless in the face of armed criminals.

If a rifle doesn't have a nice, polished, walnut stock, civilians shouldn't own it.

If the government can have it, We the People can have it. It's the tyrannical government that we don't need. It's the being rendered defenseless that we don't need.

Instead of being a totally intellectually lazy moron, figure out a way to keep the violent criminals from having firearms while keeping the law-abiding citizens defensible and you won't have any more mass shootings. You'll only have dead wannabe violent criminals who won't ever be violent again.

Those "kids" are in their 60s now, idjit. lol

Why does diversity bother you so much? Why does changing a character's aspects bother you so much?

Because you are a bigot.

Virtually nobody on this board has watched the 1937 film during the 21st century, and those of us who might have seen it when we were 8 years old only have dim memories of it.

This isn't about any poutrage over "messing" with a classic. MAGAs are just parroting what Fox ordered them to get upset about.

Only if you believe the stock won't go back up.

Hobbits were portrayed by full-size people over 20 years ago in the Lord of the Rings. I fail to see the reason for a conniption now.

Besides, so what? This is a business decision. I'm against dictating to people on what movies they are allowed to make and what actors they can use.

They've politically weaponized movies along with everything else.
