#OscarsSoWhite isn’t over yet, says the hashtag’s creator April Reign. When the nominations for the 89th Academy Awards were unveiled Tuesday morning, seven of the 20 acting nominations were for people of color, including a Best Actor nod for Denzel Washington (Fences), Best Actress recognition for Ruth Negga (Loving), Best Supporting Actor honors for Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) and Dev Patel (Lion), and Best Supporting Actress nods for Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures), Viola Davis (Fences) and Naomie Harris (Moonlight).

Social Justice Warriors (SJW) are never satisfied. This SJW complains about a genre she has no clue about. She complains about the lack of handicapped superheroes. Has she ever heard of Ben Affleck in "Daredevil", the dude is blind, or wheelchair bound Professor X from all the "X-Men" movies?

They did the disabled superhero on “In Living Color.” Pretty funny schtick, too.

It’s hard to fathom a more irrelevant excuse to write about a person than them being a Twitter “hashtag creator”.

Ironman exists because of a defect around his heart.

Yep, Daredevil was blind and Prof X paralyzed from the waist down. But then those are both ineligible as they are White males.

Would Daleks qualify for disabled persons?

The LGBTQSXYZ “romantic comedies” exist, but they are shown in dark, worn out theaters off a back alley, not in mainstream theaters. And decent people don’t go there.

“Disabled superhero” is an oxymoron.

Isn’t it cute how these guys overtly declare that movies should be propaganda tools.

You want a movie about a cross gender LGBTQXYZ disabled superhero? Make one.

Hypocrites. Demand something and never buy when they offer it, or make up another excuse.

I want to know why they don’t make a movie about the behind the scenes high drama of the national slot car racing competitions in the 1960’s!

Don’t stop there. Surely there is a place for reverse triple trans down syndrome hijab wearing Jewish-Tongan dwarves in film.

AS much as Hollyweird is behind the alphabet movement, they won’t make a movie that will not sell. (Not on purpose, anyway.) With very few exceptions the mass audience will not go see a movie with a significant gay theme and characters. Brokeback Mountain and La Cage aux Folles being the only examples that come to mind. Other than those, gay themed movies substantially underperform mainstream movies. Let’s face it, there just aren’t that many gay people in society at large.

LGBT Romantic Comedies wouldn’t be funny. They’d have to be PC, and there is no humor in PC—zero.

Disabled?

How about this.

A frozen brain in AZ becomes a superhero.

It melts some, and bounces around like a Super Ball (remember those?).

It can bounce so high, and so fast that it can avoid all dangers.

It can bounce against any enemy so quickly, and with such a quick frequency that it can disable it, or destroy it by bouncing at the enemy’s critical resonant frequency.

It’s weakness is that periodically it has to bounce to one of the Earth’s poles to freeze for a while.

Now, bring in Global Warming. Oh Oh.

It gets harder and harder for this brain to re-freeze itself.

How can it battle Global Warming??? Episode ends. Tune in next season.
