This'll go over well...

Finally something in common with Steve King.

 

[Kirblar]

Context, what is it?






He's talking explicitly about judging as an academy voter in the tweet.

 

[Bananastand]

Was about to post those other tweets. Context matters!

I mean if you're judging for awards then you should take into account quality right?

You can have a film with amazing diversity and it could still be completely awful.

 

[It’s Reyn Time!]

Fucking wow at that cherry picking.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

With context in mind - I don't disagree.

Nevermind then.

It doesn't help that some his most classic stories revert to common stereotypes revolving around minority characters.

The magical negro. The mystic gypsy who curses people. It's a noticeable flaw in one of the most prolific writers of our time.

OP, you dope.

 

[BackLogJoe]

What a dishonest OP.

 

[diakyu]

I don't see issue with what he was talking about with his other tweets?

 

[El Bombastico]

Christ, learn to read, OP.

Narrator: He was right.

 

[fanboi]

You bring shame to the boi cult, and I am not a fan.

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

Way to stir the pot, OP lol

 

[Ravensmash]

Wow.

Did you not think to check for context before deciding this was thread worthy? lol

 

[It’s Reyn Time!]

I don't think you guys should be so hard on OP - I've been seeing this being posted around, out of context, since last night. OP should absolutely ask some questions about the people who've been passing this around though.

 

[FlashChopCoffee]

OP reaching.

Can't find the other tweet. I remember this joke but not the tweet before it.

 

[Landawng]

Be better than this OP

Please self report to close, this will only create a debate based on something that doesn't actually exist.
