A hatedom is always more autistic than a fandom.

Eh idk by the late 70s disco was everywhere and was overplayed and even bands like kiss were dabbling in the genre. (something you do NOT bring up with kiss fans ever, even today) and it's lifestyle had become a symbol of selling out to the mainstream and being a conformist (the more things change the more they stay the same I guess.)

But yeah the event was originally meant to be a fun tounge in cheek jab at the overexposure of the music and it's culture. But one too many Autistic overly excited members of the hatedom got way too out of hand and had no right to wreck the game and turn the baseball stadium into a disaster area.

So were the Stones ("Miss You") and Pink Floyd ("Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" among others thx Bob Ezrin). It's hard to find a band that never did anything remotely disco-like.

What do you expect when you invite a bunch of hate filled autists who don't even like baseball and then pump them full of booze for the stated purpose of an orgy of destruction and burning things? Havoc was more or less guaranteed.

Since today’s Friday the 13th i might as well share some things about the franchise

-In part 8 jason voorhees was originally supposed to kick a dog once he arrived in New York city but the actor playing him thought it was too cruel and that jason wouldn’t really kill animals despite contradicting that one scene in part 2 with the supposedly dead dog. speaking of part 8 it would’ve featured more New York scenes had they had a bigger budget.
-in the ending for part 5 it is shown that tommy jarvis is donning a jason mask and a knife to kill one of the surviving characters. This was never referenced in part 6 but in the novelization for part 5 it’s explained that the surviving character calmed him down.
-In part 4 one of the scenes in the movie is when a girl gets murdered while on a raft wearing mostly a bikini at night. During the production for that scene the actress was suffering from hypothermia because of the constant reshoots and the actor who played jason in that movie threatened to walk off the set if the director didn’t give her a blanket or something to keep her warm

That director was a piece of shit to everyone. Ted White and Corey Feldman both hated him.

White also hated Corey Feldman, said he was, "the meanest goddamn little kid." During the scene where Jason smashes through the window, he deliberately missed the cue where he was supposed to do the stunt by a couple beats. Feldman assumed the stunt had gone wrong and let his guard down, so when White actually broke through the window Feldman was legitimately terrified.

Joseph zito really hated women, just a few years before Friday part 4 he did almost the same thing to an actress in the prowler. Making her swim in a pool despite how freezing it was and hitting in the face several times with a prop boot just to "get the shot right." The actress said something along the lines of "it felt like I'd been kicked in the face by a a real boot by the time of the last take.

The first film screened in the white House was D.W Griffiths controversial film the birth of a Nation

The remake of birth of a Nation was also met with controversy, thought for different reasons. Instead of being a racist stereotype fest meant to glorify the Confederate south and possibly responsible for the revial of the KKK, the director of the remake was swamped with sexual assault on a minor charges.

The iconic gate from the native fortress in the 1933 version of King Kong was later destroyed when it was used as a prop in Gone with the wind for the burning of Atlanta.

The black actors in song of the south couldn't attend the movie's premiere in Atlanta because the only movie theater in Atlanta in 1946 was Whites only, and they could only see it in a segregated theater a week later.

Possibly more interesting, mammoth tusks from the frozen tundras of Siberia used to be sold as elephant ivory, because it was cheaper just to dig it up than go to Africa and shoot an elephant. Most victorian ivory in the UK used to be mammoth tusks shipped in and wrongly labelled as antique elephant ivory, which technically it was.
 
The three major contributing factors to the spread of covid 19 are.

1. Unsanitary food conditions due to to lax health regulations in China, there footage of squid being sold as it rots in the sun and flies swarm on it, and meat sold with rats crawling all over it

2. Open borders on un/eu backed countries with almost no health screenings so as not to appear "racist" allowing Asian immigration or even simple tourism to first world countries.

3. Millienal hipsters going to the Wuhan meat market to eat bat soup, live baby mice, and snake hearts, and post it on social media to brag about how "cultured" and "accepting of other cultures" they are where as in reality eating the bats repulsed them to no end.
 
There were 32,000 different deals in the version of Freecell shipped with Windows 3.1. And you'd better believe some autists played every one. During which they discovered that only one of them, game 11982, is completely unsolvable.
 
Problem child 2 added twice the rude and grossout humor of it's predicessor due to complaints from parents that the first problem child had too much rude gross humor for a PG rated movie. Problem child 2 almost got hit with a solid R rating the only thing cut to avoid it was a line Junior makes to his dad about being "pussy whipped."

Speaking of Birth of a Nation, it's the main reason the KKK is as well known about and infamous for a lot of the things it did as it is today.

The first incarnation of the KKK was little more than a flash in the pan. It lasted ten years and was originally meant to be a social club with rituals that weren't meant to be taken too seriously. Over the first two years it slowly transitioned to a more political organization, first trying to enact change nonviolently, then increasingly becoming a vigilante group. When the federal government passed the Enforcement Acts to deal with the Klan, Nathan Bedford Forrest ordered it dissolved because he felt that the Klan's increasingly violent methods had become counter productive and was frustrated by his inability to properly control or restrain members.

Most of actual Redemption (AKA-the forceful end to the Reconstruction Era by white southerners through violent unrest) was done after the end of the first Klan by openly operating white supremacist paramilitaries like the White League and the Red Shirts (yes, before they were Star Trek cannon fodder, Red Shirts were a white supremacist militia).

The Klan that most people are familiar with is the second incarnation of the Klan, formed in 1915 by William Joseph Simmons. This version was specifically inspired by and imitating the fictional version of the Klan from Birth of Nation. They were essentially larping.

There was also a counter anti-Klan vigilante organization started in the 20's, primarily by Catholics, called the Knights of the Flaming Circle.

The only scenes in Escape From New York actually filmed in New York were the scenes featuring The statue of liberty. Everything else was done using matte paintings and models done by none other than James Cameron and the city/ interior shots were filmed in East St Louis. John Carpenter wanted at least one shot of the actual NY skyline so he filmed it the last day the crew was allowed access to liberty island.

Also before he got his iconic eye patch snake pliskin was originally meant to wear a headband but an eye patch was chosen to make him stand out. The patch caused some problems for Kurt Russel's vision thought and he actually developed temporary lazy eye from wearing it.
