That post was from BNYX on Jan 17, 2023.
He attended the GIVENCHY menswear winter show Jan 18, 2023.
The GIVENCHY A/W 23 MENSWEAR was in Paris.
A Chinese restaurant in Paris uses those same dishes and uses flatware instead of chopsticks.
The restaurant is Chez Diep.
Genuine question:
There aren’t any issues with men being sexualized & scantily clad in films & other media, yet there are many who clearly have issues with women being treated the same in media.
Why?
I genuinely want an explanation beyond “some women are insecure”.
Perhaps it’s the remnants of puritanical ideologies that believe a woman’s body is shameful. That’s it’s something that needs to be covered up and protected. That women need to stay pure and “virginal”.
But, I thought the social narrative was that this kind of thinking is wrong.
@Jezebel
I looked into the context of this and it’s not any better. They felt the representative’s rhetoric was disruptive and out of order so they silenced her.
What is the point of having discourse if it’s not challenging?
The liberties of power politicians are taking is concerning.
Or is it that the male gaze is, itself, something that needs to be combatted. That if a man finds something pleasing, that thing needs to be squelched?
If women need to cover themselves BECAUSE of men aren’t we just applying the above puritanical ideologies differently?

I’ve heard about people dreaming about college a lot over the years. I do as well. We have some
Residual stress.
My dreams are always… I realized I had signed up for a class I hadn’t been attending, it’s the end of semester and I haven’t studied or there’s a project due.

The "conversation" was that white people couldn't play non-white characters because race was an integral part of voicing a character.
That studio said: "Aigt, bet."
This is a monkey paw situation. People should learn from it.
@KnightGambit
Only in hollywood would the SAME actor be considered for Peter Parker, Nathan Drake, & Link.
Three characters with WILDLY different looks. Unless we're just saying "all white guys look the same". 😆

Don’t care. Questionable ain’t immoral, unethical, or illegal.
Henry Cavil seems to be one of the few genuine celebrities in hollywood. People like you besmirch him because he’s not a talkbox repeating the party talking points.
Man’s an international treasure. One of the few.
@MarkRuffalo
Maybe hollywood should consider those reviews and scores as "consumer feedback".
Also consider that there are decades of woman and/or BIPOC led projects that are beloved by audiences and ask "What are WE doing differently?"

There are 2 types of attics in America. Those which are large and intended and use and those which are just the void space under the roof.
Many people use the void space for storage but it’s not designed for that.

Good lord. She wasn't groping her breasts and the framing showed her clutching her arm in grief and her downturned chin.
You having such a problem with the scene says more about you than it does the game becuase I would have seen that and not seen anything sexual about it.
@Vertagear
You FIRED them? Good lord. That’s an overreaction. Fuckin’ harsh, mate.
I’m more offended by THAT than any of the previous tweets.
Before, people got offended by some jokes.
Now, someone has lost their livelihood.
One is clearly more of an injustice than the other.
@iamyesyouareno
Just a few years ago the argument was "They're fictional characters".
Now the argument is "It's not a documentary."
Next the argument will be "It's just a representation of the character in a documentary."
This is deliberate erasure.

You can’t just enjoy the casting of Katy O’Brian, huh? You have to make it about the dismay of another person.
What a miserably toxic way to live.

lol. No.
I used google image search and happened upon a pic of that restaurant.
It was dumb luck.
What I did was child’s play compared to what Rainbolt does.
Water rocket vs SpaceX. 😅
@Python2099
Imagine being so creatively impotent that you race swap a character to be black to only have that black character be an ex-slave.
Just because she’s black?
Or did they make her black because she was a slave?
Either way… seems racist.
@TripPliskin
It really pisses me off too.
PlayStation DESTROYED the Senran Kagura franchise because of their censorship... and BG3 allows players to do WAAAAY more than SK ever did.
@CuckJoey
It’s ok to drop an anime (or any media) because it makes you uncomfortable or you dislike it. I’ve done it. I’ll do it again.
We shouldn’t expect media to conform to our changing tastes. I used to love CW shows. Now I don’t. I just watch other stuff and don’t worry about it.
@LimitedRunGames
This is disgusting. Who is this supposed to make feel comfortable? Your employees who can now lose their jobs because their views don't align with the current thing. Your customers who agree with the employee you fired?
Whatever respect I had for your founders & company is GONE.

@SailorMarsSays
Woah. This is a HUGE false equivalency. It’s not like pirated media ceases to exist elsewhere.
The ONLY negative of piracy is the loss of revenue.
If the media isn’t available to obtain for a price... what’s the negative impact of piracy then?
@EpicVerseStudio
@LunarArchivist
And there wasn’t a media campaign telling us how it was “correcting” anything or was “representative” or that if you don’t go see it, you’re a bigot.
Just a fantastic, funny film with fantastic, funny actors.

Why is it alienating? I grew up on characters like He-Man, reading comics with men that have rippling muscles like wolverine and playing games like Tekken that have shirtless sinewy men. Hell even the Doom marine has his ripped abs on display.
Never once did I feel alienated.
@KainYusanagi
Oh! Ok. One is "acceptable sexualization" and the other is "unacceptable sexualization"! I gotcha...
So, how long does "thirsting" need to occur in order to be deemed ridiculous? Is it a set amount of time or a ratio? I must learn this field of thirstonomics!

They keep taking fandoms and changing them to appeal to people who aren't in the fandom... then call the fandom toxic/intolerant when they don't like this new, mutated thing.
It's so dumb.

Americans think the most deprived violence is imaginable is perfectly acceptable content for kinds because it’s fictional… but literally show cleavage and we lose our friggin' minds.
I REALLY don’t understand what goes on in the minds of some people.

There's no bad time to call out predators. There is no "proper" way to handle it.
Call them out, and make it LOUD.
I think the man in the video showed amazing restraint.
I'm loving the conversation! You all have really brought up some interesting points. I'm more open to the concept that the double standard is a sort of response to decades of sexism & objectification.
Keep it coming! You're all great! I'll be back tomorrow! I need to sleep! 😄

It was like 2 full meals.
Meal 1:
Appetizer: chips & dip
Meal: Fries & chicken strips
Meal 2:
Appetizer: side salad
Meal: mashed potatoes & street corn.
That being said… I did expect a lot more considering the tweet.
@SCentralized
We know how Luke ends up. So Mara can’t be a significant influence on his life. What’s the story? They get together and divorce without having kids?
Thrilling.
How can
@PlayStation
celebrate equality and inclusiveness while enforcing a censorship policy that almost exclusively targets niche Japanese games?
In the name of equal rights for all creators I emplore

Most male gamers enjoy playing as women. Hell... I’d venture to guess that when we can create a character a good number of us create women.
@GPrime85
Unitonically would love a game that features an obese protagonists that struggles and dies because of the lack of stamina, but as the adventure continues the character gets leaner, more fit, and more capable.
Good lord. This has really blown up by my standards!
