Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Vivec]

That Hallmark article has me Mad at the Internet, so I thought KF would appriciate me sperging about why the author doesn't know shit about fascism.

First things first: You need to know that canonically, fascism doesn't give a shit about "normality". This is important becausue the author mistakenly believes this to be a part of the "platonic ideal" of fascism, and draws a lot of bad conclusions from this point. As a social structure, the ideology places a lot of value on duty, embracing conflict, dying well, believing in some sort of higher power, educating people for their chosen role in life, and most of all: complete and utter subservience to the nation and its governing body over yourself.

Running down this year's schedule of Christmas movie offerings is like a trip into an uncanny valley of shiny-teethed, blow-dried heteronormative whiteness, with only a few token movies with characters of color.

Has nothing to do with the doctrine. A multicultural state can be fascist.

That is probably a startling statement to some. When most of us think about fascistically propagandistic movies, we think of the grotesque grandeur of Leni Riefenstahl's films celebrating the Third Reich — grand, but cold sweeping shots of soldiers goose-stepping and flags waving, all meant to inspire awe and terror. But the reality is, even in Nazi Germany, the majority of movies approved by the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, were escapist and feather-light, with a Hallmark movie-style emphasis on the importance of "normality."

The author ignores pretty much the two articles she cites here from Nazi Film and Propaganda experts, in order to take literally one sentence out of the whole article for this hot take on "Normalcy". The article is really interesting though, and here are some valuable takeaways for those interested in the subject:

* Only about 15 percent of Nazi films were propaganda, but they were the big budget blockbusters, by and large
* Hitler and Goebbels were film fans, and Goebbels reviewed most films that made it to release
* Neither article talks about normalcy at all as a narrative the movies were pushing
* The movies were a place that the common man often went to get the correct answers to political questions, so that he didn't accidentally speak out of turn of the third reich

"In the Hallmark-Lifetime Cinematic Universe, Hanukkah and the characters who celebrate it exist only in relation to Christmas," Nancy Coleman of th New York Times complained, adding that the Hallmark movie "Holiday Date" could, with "remarkably little editing" turn into "a Jewish 'Get Out.'"

Britni de la Cretaz, writing for the Washington Post, not only complained that the Jewish Hallmark movies were "Christmas movies with Jewish characters," but also that the movies "rely on some of the oldest anti-Semitic tropes in the book," such as painting one Jewish character as the "perpetual outsider" who is "sneaky, untrustworthy."

"The drama hinges on Jewish characters being compelled to observe Christmas, and the tension resolves only when these outsiders learn how to participate in or appreciate the dominant religious tradition," she adds.

Sadly, it's hard to imagine it being any other way. The qualities that people cite when they defend Hallmark movies — comforting, formulaic, soothing — are all a result of the aggressively conformist impulse that drives them. And that impulse and fealty to the dominant culture stands in direct contrast to the values of diversity Hallmark facetiously claims to hold."

Focus on God's chosen aside, this is actually a fair point, if the author's depiction is accurate. That said the author goes on to scold the minority ideas of white nationalism and anti-cosmopolitanism a couple of sentences later, so this is really a case of "ideological freedom is important (but only if I don't like the ideology)"

"If you don't believe me, listen to authoritarians themselves. At the Federalist, which is ground zero website for generating frankly fascist "culture war" arguments, Hans Fiene argues that, "culturally speaking, Hallmark Christmas movies are noticeably Christian."

By this, Fiene isn't talking about characters who actually go to church or pray — even self-identified conservative Christians don't want to see that — but a set of patriarchal and authoritarian values that are more about white evangelicals defining themselves as an ethnic group, and not about a genuine feeling of spirituality.

The movies always depict a "heroine who begins the story loving her self-involved life in the city chooses family and a life of self-sacrifice in her hometown," he writes, arguing that it's the "last remaining hideout" for those who want a fantasy of a world where "the cynicism and immorality of modern life aren’t allowed." By "cynicism and immmorality," Fiene explains he's talking about "fornication" and acceptance of "sexual deviants," by which he means LGBTQ people."

I've reread this section a half a dozen times, and I can't squeeze a cogent message out of it? It honestly feels like Amanda Marcotte just wanted to take a break to let you know that Hans Fiene is a bad man because when he says christians he means white people, and when he says sexual deviants he really means the gays.

"I've got my own flavors of trashy entertainment I fully enjoy without mistaking it for high art. (Baby Yoda, what's up?)"

*How to date your article in one easy step*

"Still, it's critical to be mindful of the role that Hallmark movies are actually playing in our society. The very fact that they're presented as harmless fluff makes it all the more insidious, the way they work to enforce very narrow, white, heteronormative, sexist, provincial ideas of what constitutes "normal."

It's easy to spot fascist propaganda when it's goose-stepping Pepe-the-frog memes. It's a lot harder to notice how it's working when it's tied up in Christmas cheer and suggesting grinchhood of anyone who questions the rigidity of its worldview."

'Susan told me not to be a grinch after I turned Hallmark off while mom what watching it. What a fascist.'

"So many people feel betrayed because this is one of the very last channels that families could go to and not be bombarded with politically correct commercials and the LGBTQ agenda," the American Family Association griped in a press release.

Note that the language is solely that of exclusion. This isn't about Christian conservatives wanting more Hallmark movies that show characters who actually go to church or anything like that. What makes something "family friendly" and "Christian" is who is not allowed inside the fantasy land of impossibly expensive rural houses and women who are realizing that they wanted to just get married to the boy next door all along."

And we end on the sentiment that not liking gays is fascism. It isn't, and fascist Italy & Germany didn't even harbor an abnormal amount of disgust for homosexuals versus similar nations, fascists are just more proactive and punitive when it comes to punishing crimes, including sex crimes.

Jesus Christ this nonsense is poorly thought out. Fascism isn't just "the stuff that the people I don't like believe". It's also not "stuff that promotes white people". These article writers need to pick up a book.

I've never actually met a Tumblr style asexual. The two variants I've met are sexual abuse survivors who find physical intimacy too upsetting or people who have lost a long term partner and are remaining celibate out of devotion.

Or an S for sapiosexual.

I had to look that up.
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, they really are turning everything into a sexuality. Suddenly all those memes taking potshots at tumblr sexualities isn’t so funny anymore...

Sapiosexuality started popping up all over dating sites around 2013 or so. Then vanished around the time SJWism started taking off. It became problematic because it "invalidated the sexual needs of the mentally challenged" or something like that. How dare you withhold sex from them!

Looks like it's making a comeback though.

According to this, you can be asexual and have a sex drive. So, possession of sexuality can be asexuality as well.

What Does It Mean to Be Asexual?

There is an "angels dancing on the head of a pin" distinction in there...

Again, asexuality doesn’t always mean someone doesn’t enjoy sex. It just means they don’t experience sexual attraction.

If I'm indifferent to pizza and never order it, I guess I could enjoy it if somebody put it in front of me, perhaps? Nah. This is just dumb.

Nope. Veronica Roth fell down the "Problematic" rathole a while ago. Though I admit I'm a bit mystified as to why, exactly, other than there were a few black skinned characters who were something other than Gordon Goodbrothers. But a black wamen called her out. And I guess that's good enough.

Did that kill those YA dystopias? Divergent was just a budget Hunger Games knockoff, but I guess since the YA market is policed by utterly insane idealogues it might be offensive enough for them.

It really is surprising that none of these people obsessed over Hunger Games or Divergent and stuck with Harry Potter. The former was popular enough to get four movies with Jennifer Lawrence starring in them after all. Yet after the movies ended you rarely heard about the Hunger Games for some reason. Though maybe the decadent degenerates in the Capital District he led oppressing blue-collar people elsewhere hit a little too close to home.

The lowest point will be if the pedophiles ever get themselves involved, but I've never seen a version of the acronym with a D in it, thankfully. Or an S for sapiosexual. I still think the bullshit of putting a 2 in for 'two-spirit', because why virtue signal about just sexuality and gender when you can also virtue signal about indigenous races (while completely misunderstanding them, of course)?

The asexuals consider demisexuals part of them so demisexuals are part of the LGBTQIA. But currently pedos are involved, they just sneak in under LGBTQIAP. Supposedly it means "pansexual", but for these MAPs or other "pedosexuals" like Jonathan Yaniv (who occasionally uses this) they know exactly what it means. And look out for LGBTQZ, the "Z" for "zoosexual" (bestiality) which is promoted by some furries and people like the "activist" Douglas Spink, an associate of the famous "Mr. Hands".

The two-spirit shit is hilarious since it's pure virtue signaling and the troon equivalent of all those blond hair blue eye "1/16 Cherokee" people. It's almost always "cultural appropriation" since they never consider that most people with "two-spirit identities" were oppressed.

So you're supposed to go find some retards to fuck.

I had always presumed that's how these people worked.

When/how did bestiality get renamed to "zoophilia" anyway? I'm guessing it's some dumb combination of trying to sidestep the stigma of the term "bestiality," combined with a hair-splitting distinction of "I don't fuck animals (), I just want to fuck animals?"

Because we're being told that being cis het is practically being a Nazi. Of course you are going to get cis het people making up shit so that they can say "I'm not like the other cis het people". They are flipping things around so instead of gay being seen as not socially acceptable, being straight and normal is what gets disparaged. It's absolutely nuts. Turns out, it wasn't about equality but more about flipping the tables.

Remember Medieval European inspired fantasy worlds must always have “diverse” casts. And yes there were always “POC” in Europe.

But places set in fictional African and Asian worlds, like Wakanda, The World of Avatar The Last Airbender, Mulan And wherever Aladdin was suppose to be set in must be entirely non Caucasian and any backlash from attempting to introduce Caucasian people into the world is 100% justified.

Yeah, the average SJW is exceptional, but willingly so. I also tell them I'm Joshua Moon, recently of Florida, anyways.

If I were writing a medieval fiction, I'd have diversity but in the form of brown Muslims being the main antagonist cult, just to watch everyone's heads explode

So if medieval Europe was full of black people, then they must have assimilated into Polish society meaning modern Polish people are descended from Africans. So, casting a modern non-Polish black person to play this polish character is inaccurate, so we should cast a Polish person as they are the true people of color descended from the medieval Polish blacks.

It's legit a parade of people just telling this clown that it was not only discussed by "anti-censorship types", but almost universally forecast by exactly those people, and maybe their blocklist has had a deleterious impact on what they see on twitter dot com.
