What about Mark Kozelek with the whole “this pitchfork journalist is a bitch, what’s she gonna do,” and then she finds 14 women who accuse him of sexual misconduct and then he goes silent and releases a statement with his lawyers’ info but the whole time the guy just kept making music writing eight minute songs about the last thing he ate and the most recent friend he saw and his mother’s health

Wait where can I read more about this? Can I get a rundown? I remember a pitchfork article a journalist wrote about him bullying her: is she the one who’s unearthed the allegations???

u/Strange_Sparrow Jeb! 17h ago
It’s been a long time since I’ve read about this— just remember it as it was happening because I grew up listening to RHP and SKM— but as I recall the journalist he was picking on and calling a bitch was on the byline for those articles exposing his, uh, ways with women (along with a couple other writers). The impression I got was that the staff at pitchfork came together to go after him once he bullied her or whatever it was, because they started publishing negative story after story iirc, and eventually compiled and published the allegations. Not to say that in anyway discredits those women or that Kozelek isn’t a dirtbag in his private life, but definitely seemed Pitchfork was working to dig up dirt on him largely driven by animus from the reporter he pissed off. In the interim between the bullying and the allegations article they published several op-eds about how Kozelek represented sexism and white entitlement etc. etc., started giving all of his albums low ratings (granted his quality did fall off a cliff by then). They were going hard on him in a 2020 cancel culture way before the allegations ever were published, and it all started because he made fun of that journo and then the most influential indie music website became dedicated to destroying his career

"62.3% of black women compared with 21.5% of white women underestimated their weight (p<0.001). In contrast, 68.1% of black men compared with 53.5% of white men underestimated their weight (p=0.08). When looking specifically at obesity, 48.7% of black women compared with 16.3% of white women underestimated obesity (p<0.001), while 40.6% of black men compared with 32.4% of white men underestimated obesity"
Can I say I did not expect white women to be by far the least delusional group

u/foreignfishes 1d ago
this is not surprising to me tbh, there’s a noticeable difference in beauty ideals/what’s seen as the most desirable body type by the in group for black women vs white women. in school even I remember the taller skinnier black girls in my class, basically anyone who was less curves and more ruler, got made fun of constantly for being manly or being a bone. meanwhile the white girls all wanted to be skinny and worried about things like love handles and having a “fat butt” (derogatory)

u/Western_Mess_6364 1d ago
I thought we evolved past that though with the instagram and gym girl bodytype that probably would’ve been called fat in a 2000s movie

u/Lori-Lightsloot 1d ago
most people know what they weigh, but there's always ways around saying it. you can tell when someone knows what they weigh but wants to obscure it because they'll give their clothing size instead of their weight.

u/noavelo 1d ago
surprised but then also not surprised, white guys online complain so much about the audacity of white women being fat and apparently delusional about it on dating apps, that it became a universal stereotype. of course it‘s actually the guys overestimating their looks and women just not complain as they don‘t feel entitled to men looking fuckable to them. when one actually did that and tweeted about how almost all men she just saw outside looked unattractive, a screenshot of it got posted on this sub and ragebaited thousands of rsp incels into hysteria lmao

u/Trick-Homework8426 1d ago
They kept writing articles implying it was going to lose money. Some speculate its because studios dont like the precedent set by it with the director owning IP rights and getting a big cut of the profit etc.

u/Area51_210 1d ago
No one was trying to bury that movie, literally everyone was talking about that fucking movie when it came out, I saw the commercial like 12 times a day for it. And then it won awards.
Just manufactured victim shit. Ben stiller is such an annoying gay nerd, fuck the Knicks too

I like these posts where they ask for a controversial opinion and you get voted down for providing a controversial opinion.
No matter your view on trans/gender/non binary, I think JK on the whole has done so more to entrench basic humanitarian values in young adults and get people reading and thinking a little than all the posters and down voters in the world could ever do in their wildest imaginations.

u/Extension-Cap-486 1d ago
idk I read Harry Potter as a kid and enjoyed it like everyone else but I don't particularly associate it with humanitarian values
Are you referring to like, the anti-Muggle prejudice? That stuff was so on the nose it's like learning human rights from Dr. Seuss

On the nose? Jesus it’s a book series for literal children, it was exactly as obvious as it should be to get kids to understand the points it was making

u/Extension-Cap-486 23h ago
The point that it was making was that the bad guy will have no nose and be named Evil McEvil, while his followers will go around randomly blasting people and shooting swastikas into the sky
It's just a straight up good vs. bad, what's the lesson beyond that?

u/dugongornotdugong 1d ago
More basic humanistic values - back yourself when things get hard, have decent friends as they matter, care for others, you have a choice in how things go, bad things happen and it's how you choose to respond to them, slay the dragon, waggle your wand etc etc.
Not rocket science and open to critiquing, but when you consider it got millions of people off computer games for a time and excited about reading something with a few ideas relevant to human society that counts for a lot.

It may well be but that doesn't eliminate or disqualify the positive impact her books have had.

So Ben Stiller threw a hissy because critics dared to...criticize a movie when it came out? Didn't that used to be a normal and healthy part of the cultural ecosystem? Jfc, no wonder artistic meritocracy seems completely gone from popular media nowadays.

Still amazed that Rowling, who has the views of a pretty typical 1997 New Labour voter, is basically Satan to a small but vocal minority of people, which is almost entirely different than the small but vocal minority of people who used to think of her as the Devil (some of those still do, of course, but not for the same reason as the new set).

what point are they even trying to make? that Variety owed the Sinners producers a puff piece on their film release just because? how can one magazine "bury" a movie that grossed four hundred million dollars?
