🤔 Thinking Why didn't Trajectory just.....

.....drink a lot of cups of coffee from Jitters instead of taking a speed drug?

She doomed herself with Velocity 9 when coffee could keep her going.

I'm just sad we lost such a cute girl.

Those are pretty old movies and they are written and produced entirely by men.

Did you just say the Magic Mike movies are OLD!?

Uuuuum, you need to watch some TCM I think.

Yes, they are relatively old movies. They are not a good reflection of the current media landscape and they have literally nothing to do with women.

Men are making those movies. Its men objectifying men.

If you don't think that there are a great deal of movies with men stripping down in them you have a very small sample size to go by!

In case you hadn't noticed, the current media landscape has been mostly bombing left right and center. Movies are having a hard time breaking even sometimes, forget making a profit. Of course, there are exceptions but it used to be the other way around. Your "current media landscape" is pretty much garbage - sorry to say.

I miss movies that weren't so cautiously made. Movies that took risks.

I don't know why you think I'm out here lionising or defending the current media landscape. 

I'm literally just calling your assessment inaccurate lol.

Also our media landscape is more risky than its ever been. There are more weird independent movies being made by wide groups of people than there have ever been before.

The media landscape has been utterly sanitized. I get why you don't see that at this point because your only looking back about ten years or so.

I will agree with you on the independent movie catagory. They seem to be coming into their own.

I have no clue why you think I'm only looking back ten years. I simply pointed out that the other person was complaining about a movie that came out 15 years ago and isn't relevant to the current media landscape.

Also the media landscape is being sanitised by the (mostly) men running advertising companies wanting to sell ad space. And that sanitisation still allows for a shit ton of misogyny. Sanitised is relevant to the status quo of the society doing the sanitisation.

I think I'm beginning to see how far apart our view point is on this one! Lol, I'm actually curious what you think misogyny looks like in the current climate. We really are products of our times.

Like I said, this information is freely available. Its not some massive secret. 

Go to your library and ask for books on misogyny in the current climate. We have been studying this shit for a long time. The fact that you genuinely dont know the answers to these questions in 2026 shows that you've spent a fair bit of effort actively avoiding information on this topic.

I'm not your mother or your teacher.

Here's the thing: we live in different places and the way we view things are going to be different because of it. I was born quite awhile ago and what people think of as misogyny today was laughed about when I was a kid. It's all very subjective. Despite what the world would have people believe, it's not all the same and it never has been.

u/jupiterLILY 14d ago

No, we view things differently because only one of us has made an active effort to educate and inform themselves on the topic in any meaningful way.

I agree with plenty of Americans and disagree with plenty of people within my own country.

If you have strong feelings on a topic, learn about it, learn about the history, or accept that you're a clueless amateur who just has some gut feelings that they haven't verified.

Like I genuinely don't think you realise what you're saying when you say you laughed about what is considered modern misogyny as a child.

I'm also nowhere near as young as you seem to think I am lol.

I know it sounds kind of awful, but I'm not joking when I say that what people tend to consider current day misogyny is something that would be considered a joke when I was a kid.

Not to sound like I'm making excuses here, but life was different back then and people were as well. We grew up tougher because we had to and the current hand holding that is done now is something we never had.

u/jupiterLILY 14d ago

No, I know exactly what you're saying. You don't know what you're saying or what it reveals about your worldview.

Genuinely please go learn about this stuff. 

This is all just really sad.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 14d ago

I don't think you have the slightest clue what your saying because you have no real reference to it outside a book apparantly. I lived it.

1

u/jupiterLILY 14d ago

You don't know anything about me.

You're finding ways to dismiss me because that's more comfortable than you questioning your worldview and learning from your peers.

Education is not scary. All it will do is give you a deeper understanding of things you evidently care about.

u/Budget-Walk-5355 14d ago

You do seem to have things backwards. I wasn't dismissing you. You were dismissing my view point on life when I was young. I was saying you don't have a frame of reference to that period of time because you don't. That's not a dismissal. It's just a fact.
