I WOULD GET DOWN WITH THE LOKI FANDOM IF THIS WAS HIM
LOOK AT THOR
YES PLEASE. I want to watch this movie, and read the comics.
Wow. This exists.
http://www.menarebetterthanwomen.com/top-ten/ I know it’s not feminism, I just thought you should see this shit. I love how the “racist” one says nothing about race.
Also one of the front page images was a pair of boobs with “MABTW.com” scrawled across them. *sigh*

I stopped reading after the first one, where it talked about women as opposed to “adults”. Jesus. This is not something I need at 6 am.
The way it reads makes me think it’s just one guy. The front page article keeps talking about “I” not “we”, but still, even if there is more than one troglodyte capering about in their word-arena, I seriously doubt there’s enough to enumerate them in double digits.
Also, his obvious rage against marriage and the article about how “Women Hate Sex” and basically the level of anger conveyed by the whole site make is on about the same level as other people I’ve seen online who A) have never had sex or even known the touch of affection because B) they view women as commodities and lumps of inanimate matter rather than people…
The sheer quantity, however, sadly indicates that he’s probably not a troll and is, in fact, just a very very unhappy, damaged loner.
This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.

To anyone who doesn’t see how The Dictator is part of a long history of Hollywood slandering Arabs and Muslims, read this book. Until then, I really don’t give two shits about how “it’s just comedy, dude! Stop being so serious!”
One of the saddest things this book revealed to me was not just how bad the stereotypes. It’s the way even movies that have nothing at all to do with the Middle East or anything like that throw in Arab/Muslim (because in Hollywood, the two are always the same) as asides. For instance, Father of the Bride Part 2. It’s a movie about a father upset about his daughter’s pregnancy. Midway through, though, they throw in a horrible Arab/Persian stereotype of a dictatorial Middle Eastern male who is greedy, oppresses his wife, and screws over an honest white guy.
That’s how Hollywood works.
The Dictator is hardly alone in its racist portrayal of Arabs. Arabs are the new token villains in Hollywood films, similar to the way Russians were during the Cold War only, it’s a lot more racist.
And thus we have the Timeline of International Villainy. To create drama, especially in action and war movies, Hollywood needs bad guys, and in their time, the Japanese and Germans, and later the Koreans and Vietnamese, served that role. For a long while, commies were useful foils (with their taste for world domination, nukes and vodka), but with the end of the Cold War, the Soviets became the Russians, and the Russians only worked if they were gangsters, and Hollywood already had the Italians to do that job. Colombian drug traffickers were employed as handy replacements, but then coke just felt … dated. Transnational corporate evildoers are okay, if not that sexy. But there just has been something about those Arabs. They’ve got legs.
In an interview before the premiere, Shaheen says that the OPEC oil embargo, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis all conspired to cast the Arab as film villain beginning in the 1970s. “We pray and we kill,” Shaheen says of the depiction. Like other stereotypes on film — of blacks, Jews, gays, Latinos, Native Americans — Arabs are now in the crosshairs.
“The Arab serves as the ultimate outsider, the other, who doesn’t pray to the same God, and who can be made to be less human,” says Shaheen, who argues that movies and TV shows do matter — that they shape public opinion at home and abroad. “Do you have any idea what it must be like to be a young person watching this stuff over in the Middle East?” he says. And if you ask Shaheen who even cares about an old Chuck Norris film, he answers, “Have you ever looked through a TV Guide? These movies are on television constantly. The images last forever. They never go away.” [Source]
I am so sick and tired of Hollywood’s bullshit. All of it; every different flavour and shade and consistency.
And it’s all so boring! I don’t need a romantic subplot in my dumb action explosion fest, I don’t appreciate being told that that blond idiot is the feminine ideal when she has literally no personality - the thing that really makes a person beautiful - beyond a love of… what? Fashion? Shopping Is that all that women are allowed to like?
And romantic partners with nothing in common besides a basic level of physical attraction? You’re not fooling anybody but the young, Hollywood; that’s not how love works. Getting married won’t fix a relationship. Nor will wacky hijinx with a manchild friend who refuses to grow up. FUCKING TALKING ABOUT FEELINGS WILL.
And I am really, really, tired of how young, straight white people are always always the heroes and flavour-of-the-week minorities are usually the villains.
On top of all the sociological problems and race and sex issues it perpetuates, I just do not understand how this gruel, this dross, this utterly bland perpetual self-iteration sells. How do people still derive enjoyment from it? Over and over and over. I do not understand.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4d7xeUYZS1qhwm08o1_400.jpg)
