To be fair, most of the rest of the state is pretty empty.
You want to thank someone, thank Harry Reid, whose vote fraud raising machine seems to have outlived him. Either way, you'd think Bob would be a little more grateful, which makes me wonder if he doesn't know Nevada hasn't voted red since 2004.
This is hilarious, given that Bob frequently calls out "red states" that are "practically empty" (like Wyoming), so Bob's just a hypocrite. Why should Nevada punch above its weight in Blue if it's PrAcTIcALLy EmPTy, Bob?
Adam Johnston/YMS may be something of a cow in his own right, but he makes a good point about how people handwave criticism for kids' movies like that. I'm paraphrasing here, but he more or less says that if you make this argument that kids' movies are supposed to be bad because they're for kids, then you're essentially saying that kids are stupid and don't deserve quality entertainment solely because they're kids. These movies end up getting a pass for their poor quality when the same movie made more age-appropriate for adults would be torn to shreds.
Setting aside that Star Wars is more of an all-ages film and not strictly for children, all movies are deserving of criticism. You may have to temper your critique with the knowledge that you may not be the target audience, but no movie gets a pass just because "it's not for you." The Disney Wars movies have major plotholes, inconsistent characterization, horrible dialogue, and a disjointed story, but according to that asshole with a sign, you should just not care about that because space wizards are for children, and fuck you for wanting a decent movie.
God, Bob is such a retard, it does get exhausting looking through his drivel.
You were in New York before, IIRC? Glad you escaped from there, but if you didn't wear an eyepatch the whole trip, you did it wrong.
"
X was made for children; X doesn't HAVE to make sense, because again, FOR CHILDREN" - Bob the drooling exceptional.
Y'know, Bob, when I was a kid, I liked things to make sense. I watched things that made sense. Sometimes I watched things that didn't have internal cohesion/didn't "make sense". That shit confused me. And this is why Bob is a drooling exceptional: He confuses and/or conflates "
fantasy things that don't work that way in real life" with "
shit that doesn't make sense". Bob, there's a difference. You can have a logically planned-out in-universe situation that is INTERNALLY CONSISTENT. It doesn't have to jive with the Real World, it just has to jive with itself. Space Wizards can make sense if you're consistent about it and your world has concrete rules. Even if it seems arbitrary (like lightsabers being a certain length when activated). What wouldn't make sense is if the in-universe rules were all over the place and inconsistent.
Also, Bob, how little respect do you have for CHILDREN? Do you think so little of your niece and nephew that you think they deserve to watch garbage that doesn't make sense? Sure, from baby to toddler most kids don't care about story or cohesion, they just like to watch the funny pictures do funny things. Things being Fantasy, and things Not Making Sense, ARE TWO SEPARATE CONCEPTS, BOB. Things "not making sense" in light of Real Life but making sense in a fantasy setting, is NOT the same as random bullshit.
Oddly enough, cartoons weren't invented
for children. They were invented for Adults. Then they noticed children loved them. Sure, the Roadrunner Show having the traps all turn on Wile E. Coyote don't make sense IRL, but internally it does make sense, as internally the traps never catch the Roadrunner (and it's been lampshaded in recent years that the coyote has cause to sue ACME, lol). The coyote is simply trapped in a Murphy's Law (the "law", not the TV show starring Candace Bergen) situation: If anything CAN go wrong, it WILL. That's
internal consistency.
Bob's excuse that a show entertains
drooling exceptionals literal toddlers therefore it's just fine the way it is (and also it's "NOt FoR YOu") isn't an excuse for poor quality (bad writing, bad artwork, bad characterizations) in media.
No, friendo, states with no people should not get to vote on what's in the Constitution. So Joe Biden can just issue an executive order declaring the Supreme Court impeached, then adds 15 new justices. Then they declare the Electoral College to be unconstitutional and the 2016 election result void which means the true winner Hillary gets appointed President for Life and the SUPERIOR FUTURE begins. Thinking otherwise is aiding and abetting Putin, which is treason. Hope you like Gitmo, Believer.
Unless it's a mostly empty state with Blue, which is evolved Soopeeryah Fyootchah-ready and they matter so they deserve to have a say. Because Bob wants to crush the opposition and have "progressive" one-party rule (D) for all eternity, while the Red Empty States get the Siberia treatment.
Agreed, I hate most of his opinions on anything but movies and video games but YMS is very correct in saying this. Unless you’re making content for babies that don’t even understand language yet (teletubbies, nana lan, that kind of shit) it should be open to criticism.
Anyone making stuff geared towards kids should be making something for all ages anyway. Because ostensibly, a parent is taking the kid to the theater or watching it with them in the living room. It’s not like Disney hasn’t made good stories for all ages before too. A lot of the Disney animated classics are just genuinely good stories.(I know most of them are taken from folktales and other stories but the movies still aren’t bad.) Most of the crap they have made in the last 20 years will be forgotten about soon.
We all know the actual reason Bob doesn’t want to actually criticize Disney wars is because the wrong people don’t like it. Fuck I barely even care about Star Wars and I left the theatre after seeing TFA thinking about how much better it could have been done.
I would argue that even Teletubbies shit should be criticized. While babies don't retain "episodic" memories, what they do is learn for when they do set solid permanent episodic memory. Right now people have been wearing masks for 2 years, and that shit is now proven to harm children by preventing babies from seeing facial expressions, which as it turns out, is HIGHLY IMPORTANT. 1 and 2 year olds who have had their parents (and everyone else the parents allow near their babies in Coof Era) continually masked even when around their babies are now showing
significant language delays. It's like instant autism. So if every human face the baby sees has a fucking mask on can fuck up its language development, then so can terrible nonsensical media.
at least once respond to Bob's inane "Yer mum" replies with, "Rape jokes aren't funny, Bob."
