What I'm not sure about is why this is so stark... is it that they really did try to overcompensate toward conservatives? Or is it a "generational thing"? Maybe it's a bit of both.

Either way, it's really hard to watch. #LoveIsBlind 5/5

This is super evident with Real Estate Investor Mike, with his constant negging, pickup-artist-esque mind games, and unwillingness to cry. Others in the cast talk way more about praying than in previous seasons of #LoveIsBlind. 4/5

So for this season of #LoveIsBlind, the producers/The Lacheys overcorrected and booked a bunch of young conservatives who are so far up the Right Wing pipeline that they have no idea how to talk to women. 3/5

My head cannon is: conservatives complained that Season 8 of #LoveIsBlind was too woke because Sara didn't want to stick with Ben due to his "traditional religious views on LGBTQ+". You can find #BenShapiro screeching about it. I'm not going to link it. 2/5

Switching gears completely: Does something feel off about literally all of the dudes on the latest season of #LoveIsBlind? Maybe only 10% of them seem to be able to have a real conversation with the women on the show... 1/5

Anyway, I can see a scenario where the Saudis use the liberal themes to sell games (esp mictotransation-laden games) to liberals, then use that money for illiberal/authoritarian/conservative reasons.

There's a history of businesses with "liberal" public images giving money or otherwise supporting conservative institutions/candidates. Urban Outfitters comes to mind.

But they might not change content, particularly "social" aspects of the games (like homosexuality in #TheSims), especially if they can eke even more money out of those games. 2/4

After listening to #TripleClick 's episode that included the EA purchase by the Saudis, I had another thought. I can see a scenario where the new owners don't change the content much. Sure, they'll probably lay a lot of people off, that's what these sales are like... 1/4

Similarly, will the next administration, If ThErE Is OnE, be spending most of their time knocking walls down to remove Russian and Saudi bugs? #whitehouse #eastwing #monstrosity

Not to be AlArMiSt or anything, but what are the odds the East Wing demolition is making room for him to build a bunker for defense when it's time for him to leave? #whitehouse #eastwing #monstrosity

Fair enough!

Hey, ya know, maybe dudes with white nationalist tattoos shouldn't be allowed to "serve" in any military branch or police force. Just spit balling here.

I really just want to know who put the "Thigmo Taxis" joke in the mouse neighborhood in #Zootopia and shake their hand. That's incredible writing.

Haven't been posting a lot because I'm having a hard time committing to either being an in-universe rp account or an account that comments on #StarWars media and the fan base. I might need to split accounts.

Alternatively, you DO understand Star Wars, but you're trying to control/start a bullshit narrative to grift uneducated conservatives with no media literacy.

Meanwhile, George Lucas's handwritten notes from 1974...

If you think that Star Wars is only just now "getting political" against your side, you really REALLY have not ever understood Star Wars.

George Lucas’ handwritten notes before starting the rough draft of Star Wars in 1974. Alt text provided. From The Making of Star Wars by JW Rinzler.

Lined yellow legal pad with handwriting on it:

The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots. Aiding rebel groups. And allowing the crime rate to rise to the point where a “total control” police state was welcomed by the people. then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs, gangsters, a cartel made up of power companies, transport companies + crime organizations. Other companies had to pay bribes to stay in business.

they increase the crime rate by slowing down the system of justice and punishment.

And Lo, a damaged hyperdrive allowed the Empire to track the Tantive IV, without the need for a superfluous, and yet-not-invented hyperspace tracking. Aaaaa-meeeennnnnnn

Alex and Mollie get it. I'm really glad they're putting to words what, to a media-literate person, should be understood. For too long, bad actors have been riling up the fanbase with bullshit. I'm glad the tide is turning.
