  1. You will not address my points. The two examples I gave were banned because of anti-CRT movements in those school boards. They are literally examples tied pushback against CRT!
  2. What exactly is woke about teaching kids about the Holocaust or Ruby Bridges? So these things should be omitted from the curriculum?
  3. I am talking about concrete, real-life consequences of anti-CRT campaigns. You only seem interested in discussing this in abstract terms.
  4. So you think Maus and Norman Rockwell's The Problem We All Live With are worthy of being banned?
  5. I think MJ ruined the issue long before she became obsessed with "activism through Swimsuit Issue". But it certainly made things worse. But even before that became too much of a thing we had stuff like the bullshit of putting Beyoncé on the cover.
  6. Giving the people what they want.
  7. I am not talking about randos on the internet but actual school boards voting to ban those things...
  8. I will never understand this. See also, editing out bare nipples. If you are afraid to show certain body parts then just don't photograph them? It's crazy to edit them out.
  9. Yeah for some reason I thought Renée was taller than she apparently is.
  10. I knew Emily was tall but still surprised that she kind of towers a bit over Renée.
  11. Honestly Em & Renée are the best HB pairing since Bryana Holly and Sarah Stephens all those years ago.
  12. Renée & Emily for HB is almost too good to be true!
  13. Is that Erin Marley Klay in one of the House of CB videos? Crazy how quickly her career has taken off.
  14. The point of that remark was that it's stupid to pretend that it's being "taught" at any level at the primary or secondary school level. When they accuse those schools of teaching CRT it's usually bullshit like complaining about a Ruby Bridges book or a Holocaust comic.
  15. Sigh. Critical Race Theory was largely exclusively studied in universitis and was done so long before the right-wing latched onto it as their new buzz word. I stopped taking the label seriously long ago when it started being applied to stuff like Norman Rockwell paintings or Art Spiegelman's Maus.
  16. The producers definitely attacked her, she was accused of being unprofessional and impossible to work with. Even some of her fellow cast mates joined in.
  17. Probably also why it is taking him so long to write the sixth and seventh book.
  18. VS would have made her lose weight, so I'm happy they are no longer in a position to ruin Emily for us! 😛 She should work for a brand like Honey Birdette.
  19. HB + Renée will be pure 🔥
  20. It's been so long since I have read the books that it is hard for me to remember what happens in which book! But I would say that I agree that most of the best stuff is in the first three books.
  21. That's not really the textbook definition. It's a study of racism within the context of political/cultural/social entities and how those are both shaped by and perpetuate racist ideas. But it's worth to ask the question because it seems to mean something different depending on who you ask or talk to. Some consider teaching about Ruby Bridges a form of CRT.
  22. I guess we just underestimate the audience there is for the Avatar franchise? I hadn't expected the sequel to be a huge success either. You have to consider the long period of time in between the two films too.
  23. The Cavill thing is pretty classic and can be mirrored in how Ruby Rose left Batwoman. She first remained silent. Then when she revealed it was because of the hectic schedule and also being pressured into returning to work shortly after seriously injuring her spine in a stunt that went wrong, the production quickly released counter-content in which she was portrayed as difficult and impossible to work with. I think the stories about Cavill being sexist and not respecting the female staff on The Witcher has to be seen in the same light. Until they released those stories, the only thing out there was the rumor that he had left because he was so tired of the bad writing. If you are the showrunner or a member of the writer's room, you do not want that idea out there. So their publicists and agents will have released dirt on Cavill to cover their clients' backsides.
  24. Can you define Critical Race Theory for me?
