A movie full of historical inaccuracies. But it’s filmed about our modern-day times as if it’s from the future. The fashion is all over the place from the 60s to our modern-day style. There’s a little newspaper boy waving an iPad shouting: “Hot Take! Fresh Hot Takes!”, self-flying cars that look like they’re from the 80s. Everyone is typing messages on giant 90s phones. The moon-landing is constantly mentioned as if it’s a big deal in everyone’s every-day life because The Future Film-makers don’t understand that 50 years were a long time in the past too, meanwhile someone is like: “But we will never reach Mars” while talking directly into the camera.
This is legiterally the funniest thing snl has done in decades
they cut it because of the ONE gay reference
Same energy
both of these sketches were written by julio torres – here’s his twitter
Omg 😂
I just want you all to know that my dramatic 6 year old ass would have loved all of this shit.
I’m the dramatique™ hand to face moment in the broken mirror.
“YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING IS FOR YOU. AND THIS ONE THING IS FOR HIM.”
I don’t know Julio Torres nor his sexual orientation but no matter what it is he has lived The Queer Experience™
.
I love how the video literally says “cut for time” and people are like “why did they cut it???”
The children in these sketches give oscar-worthy performances. That little girl standing at the stairs, sending her dolls to boarding school, projects a level of sinister that every man who has ever played the Joker only dreams of.
(Yes, FYI, these images are paintings on the walls of buildings, in an MMORPG)
You’ll note though, that the people who are unimpressed by Blizzard trying to distract from their ongoing lawsuits don’t want the decision reversed, they’re just upset that:
Blizzard is using trivial changes like this to distract from real harm they do to real women on an ongoing basis.
Blizzard could actually have approved these and many meaningful changes at any time – but didn’t do so because they didn’t care about anything but feminist cookies.
The ones who are raging and want the changes reverted on the other hand, well they are worried about two other things.
The sanctity of the sexuality of fictional women who just happen to be appealing to their sexuality as self-absorbed cishet men.
Their validation as the only people in the world who matter, and that their whims are more important than anyone’s needs or interests.
(Not the lack of concern for people who’s sexuality is empowered men, or who prefer to play their fantasy adventure games without tits and ass in their face)
My main thoughts on this were already summarized very succinctly by Jack Saint in a single, evergreen tweet:
So, my recommended guideline for distinguishing between to two types – since the shitty ones will always claim to be the well meaning ones when called out is:
Are they disappointed that Blizzard has not yet done anything meaningful to help real people who have been suffering due to their obscene behaviour, or are they concerned the imaginary people are no longer interested in helping them fap?
Because trust me, the latter were going to have this reaction regardless.
