And now he’s directing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse starring Miles Morales, a half-African American and half-Puerto Rican teenager! It must feel amazing for him to direct a movie where the protagonist looks like him.
Guy is also an unapologetic leftist on twitter who shuts down myths and lies about Antifa, and it’s putting so many pissbabies into hysterics that a leftist black man who does such things is directing such a big movie. The cries of “wahhh what is happening to the entertainment industry” lately are giving me life
Frollo and Mother Gothel convince Quasimodo and Rapunzel that their lives are dependent on them. The two villains claim the outside world is a terrible place even though they know this is not true. They also constantly emotionally abuse their victims by implying their worthlessness and destroying their self-esteems. Quasimodo and Rapunzel sympathize with their captors and even believe their captors are protecting them and treating them with kindness. However, both captors are merely using and manipulating their victims for their own selfish purposes.
Belle does not sympathize with the Beast when she is treated poorly. She becomes angry and leaves the castle, only returning by her own wish so that the Beast (who saves her) does not freeze to death. She does not respond nicely towards the Beast until he treats her with respect. In this situation, Belle has control and is not manipulated into feeling for the Beast, nor does the Beast treat her disrespectfully after the first night. While the Beast does have an underlying motive as to keeping Belle in his castle, he abandons this idea and sets her free to make her happy. If anything, this story is a case of Lima Syndrome where the captor starts to sympathize with the victim.
Check out this post which refocuses the purpose of Beauty and the Beast from merely (and wrongly) being about Stockholm Syndrome to it’s original purpose.
FUCKING FINALLY
I don’t usually reblog stuff like this, but Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie and I’d like to have this on my page!
this is actually a very good analysis. I take back all the times I’ve called Beauty and the Beast a ‘stockholm syndrome’ romance.
A small fat bird, like the above, is the hieroglyph used in Ancient Egyptian to mean “wicked” or evil”.
The phrase above him (the inscription should be read from the top down) is “Nb s3″ or “Lord of the son of”. Genitive is usually implied in this sort of phrase without a connecting word, meaning:
This birb has literally created the sentence and declared himself “ Lord of the Son of Evil”
God dammit, I realised I made a mistake doing this from memory- the first sign is “k” for “your”, not “nb” for “lord”. So this birb has declared himself “your evil son”, not “the lord of the son of evil”. Which is not quite as dramatic, but still very menacing. You go bird.
it’s intense how much anarchism, marxism, communism, and socialism have been erased from our history and culture.
i always wonder how dismissive of anti-capitalism ppl would be if they realized helen keller, einstein, kafka, aldous huxley, stephen hawking(?), frida kahlo, picasso (gross dude but he fits the example), mlk, mark twain, oscar wilde, and charlie chaplin were all anti-capitalists. i wonder how dismissive they’d be if they understood how much we owe to anti-capitalists organizing against capitalism.
In school they tell you that socialism/communism means if you and your wife each have a car but your neighbor doesn’t, the government gives one of your cars to your neighbor.
Ignoring the fact of what really happens: you and your wife have a car. Your neighbor doesn’t. Moneybags McCunt however has 17 cars. The government gives one to your neighbor since McCunt will never ever need 17 cars. Your neighbors quality life is exponentially improved immediately while McCunt has zero change or effect on his.
They literally condition us to think that the socialists like Marx are all violent, and against people owning ~private property~ and the ~free market~ (as if that even exists anymore) and those following the American Dream™️ earning wealth that “they worked hard for”.
These economic theories are literally birthed from the gap between the poor and the upper class, and just like theyALWAYS do. They turn socialism and communism Into a war between the working class and those in poverty.
