Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

Bob did his 3 hour "Really That Bad" for BvS because he's the epitome of one of those "muh childhood" people.

I almost lost my shit over Bob's deliberate misreading of Lovecraft, then I realized, oh, wait, it's just yet another genre he's too fucking stupid to understand.

Bob does not read, especially not books older than he is.

Chimpman is a being of pure pop culture, he only responds to shit in bright primary colors where the themes are spelled out in explicit terms with extremely simplistic narratives.

He paints himself as a connoisseur of film but cannot understand any movie with a plot more nuanced than "The Power Rangers beat up Hitler over Micro-aggressions directed at an angel"

Lovecraft was very racist, even for his time. Dude really didn’t like PoCs.
But I can’t even say Bob fails to understand his work, so much as he’s never read his work or the work that’s been built off of it.

Not just PoCs. He hated German immigrants and Irish Catholics (granted, a lot of people hated the Irish). Interestingly, he praised Hispanics and Jews. So he was racist, but he wasn't anti-semetic.

The thing about Lovecraft is that even though his racism bleeds into his work, like the Louisiana cult in Call of Cthulhu or the anti-miscegenation themes in Shadow Over Innsmouth, his stories and their themes are still scary because they emphasize the fear of the unknown and the limits of human comprehension. He doesn't rely on his racism to tell his tales, even if it's somewhat there.

It's not really surprising to me that people like Bob turn their nose at him because they are completely unable to separate the art from the artist. While Lovecraft's beliefs were extreme even for his time, his stories shouldn't be discredited; he did create the modern horror story after all so the stuff he made is still worth examination.

I'm well aware of Lovecraft's racism. The man freaked out upon finding out he was part Welsh, and of course there's that amazing final line of "Medusa's Coil." (Basically, it's "Gasp! She was a NEGRESS!") The descriptions (not to mention the very name) of Buck Robinson aka "The Harlem Smoke" in "Herbert West -- Re-Animator" beggar belief. HPL was so racist it actually becomes kind of funny.

My problem with Bob is he reduces every element of Lovecraft's cosmic horror, which is more about mankind being left at the mercy of titanic forces too massive and blind to our very existence to care very much about how much horrible injury they inflict on us than it is about "eek! a Negro!" But of course he does, because the fat fuck has to squish everything in the world into the three or four pigeonholes his diabetes-addled brain can actually grasp, however dimly.

Way to make it about people you hate, jackass.

I really, really don't wanna know what "miliking a walrus" means.

It's a Last Jedi joke. Because the autistic diabetic asshole can't shut the fuck up about it.

Hell Bob even pulls that shit with Clint Eastwood, and that man doesn't really have insane viewpoints at all. I wonder if Bob has even seen Gran Torino and even gotten the message of it at all?

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

He seems to like the "awesome individualists hold this shit show together" message and the low key distaste for the common man while rejecting Rands distaste for centalized goverment. In a way he's a randroid inverted, he see's left wing politics instead of right as the way to build her stupid fantasy.

Which is funny since I've seen objectivism described before as "inverted Stalinism". Bob's a borderline tankie anyway.

Now I want to see what happens if you put Clint Eastwood and Chob Bipman in a room together.

Nice one, chippah!

I saw the movie and I completely forgot about that scene. So by that logic, Snyder's eventually gonna buck up, help the fan and put out his edit.

Sharp as a marble, Bob.

The Left hates Clint Eastwood in general. They think he's some kind of crazy jingoist. Before I even saw American Sniper I knew the people sneering at it as war propaganda were full of shit.

This is Bobby's "everything is political" thinking at work. If you seek to understand an author's work only through his politics, you miss out bigger, universal, humanistic themes.

People think they are being universal by claiming "everything is political"; in fact it is exactly the opposite: they close off themselves.

I want to psychologically break him.

I thought Trump did that already.

Probably something like this.

I refuse to let that fuck meet him before I do.
