It’s not my fault if non-whites don’t comment as much as me. Maybe they should speak out instead of me shutting up.
Indeed.
White and gay.
I guess it's time to bring in critics that correlate to the movie in ethnicity and gender. All other reviews should be discounted.
I left out sexual orientation. Can’t forget that.
How many of them are fags?
Maybe fewer women and nonwhites want to write reviews.
Time was women and homosexual men were the prominent film critics and buffs decades ago. It forever perverted and stunted the concept of what “classic” films were.
Later in the early 1960s other film societies (in Europe and revival screenings in America) started to explore horror films and defend that such genre pictures TOO could be classics (and Freaks went from being a banished MGM film sold to exploiter Dwain Esper in the 40s to a “Classic” that MGM claims to own again even though they sold it and dumped the negative in the ocean and screen it today with Esper’s additional exploitative opening reel).
Village Voice Media is all about Social Justice Warriors telling you why a movie will send you to “heaven or hell” like an atheist’s version of the old Catholic Legion of Decency film reviews.
Roger Ebert likewise after Gene Siskel was dead decided to go full tilt libtard in his assessment of seeing or rejecting a film.
And live theatre is mostly gay men.
Most Olympic swimmers are white. This is outrageous. Most jockeys are white! Outrageous! Maybe at basketball players and football players are whi... uh, never mind.
>>White critics wrote 82% of the reviews of the top 100-grossing films of last year
What was the racial background of 82% of the ticket buyers for the top 100 grossing films last year?
Yeah exactly.
>> U.S. census data finds that individuals from these groups comprise nearly 39% of the population.
Is that including tens of millions of non-citizen latinos?
Also for the purpose of this exercise are they rejecting the notion of “white hispanic”?
>>Manohla Dargis at the New York Times, Dana Stevens of Slate, and Alison Wilmore of BuzzFeed are all considered to be top voices in their field and are regarded as major tastemakers.
WHO? WHAT? WHERE??
I would NEVER trust Buzzfeed for advice on politics, food, arts, or culture.
Slate?
NYet Times is stodgy but at least has almost a century of film reviews to dig through.
Women and people of color can also be movie critics. All they need is:
The desire to be a movie critic.
Some semblance of qualification to be a movie critic.
Someone to accept their movie critiques.
Someone willing to publish them.
Be credible enough to continue getting the support.
If *white men* are the only ones with the moxie to fulfill all those basic requirements, then so be it.
Yeah men is a stretch
A piece by a Feminazi at Northeastern was on FR today and she said that men (especially white heterosexual men) need to step aside, refuse jobs, and essentially go to the back of the bus for the rest of their lives to atone for thousands of years of patriarchy culture.
sit down and shut up and pay your taxes
Is the point of this nonsense white men sku the reviews ?
maybe just maybe your regular Joe ticket buyers don’t care what reviewers think and see movies that interest them?
I can’t think the last time I read a reveiw from anybody of any color, gender
