I was trying not to give the Critical Drunk clicks, but people are starting to play the "Someone misquoted something Critical Drunk said to Weir! Weir never said that!" game. So now you all have to watch the clip of what they both said for yourselves. 🤷🏿‍♂️

CD: ...and you don't try to shove crappy identity politics into it

Weir: Right

CD: You end up with a goddam great movie at the end of it...

Weir: I think, you and me, we're kind of on the same wavelength there when it comes to fiction writing...

Weir: ...You don't have to worry about *mocking voice* *cupping hands over mouth* THE MESSAGE! 🤣

CD: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like how you did that!

Weir: *that post mock clarity hits* 🤔...I'm not sure how that came across...

CD: No, it came great!

Weir: OK good!

@mekkaokereke I'm not going to say "wow, what a total piece of shit" over this, but it *is* shitty and unnecessary to say. Then again, his "egg theory" that proposes that every human is the same single consciousness in multiple incarnations so it can have every experience sure feels like a not-so-clever way to get away with being selfish and embracing hate (if you choose to) with the excuse that the consciousness needs to experience that hate from both ends.
@mekkaokereke Can I go a couple of days without learning that an author or artist whose work I like is an asshole? 🥹

@mekkaokereke You'll never guess which major media outlet gave inches to this same "movies are too woke, just look at the success of PHM!" tripe. 🙄

@Chasteen @mekkaokereke imagine thinking the main point of Star Trek is people shooting each other.
