The War Film Doesn't Need To Die. It Needs To Evolve.
In 1973, during an interview with the Chicago Tribune, legendary French film director Francois Truffaut now gave a somewhat infamous quote about violence in films and the depiction of war within them.

Wrote a new blog on why the modern war film slop needs to die for something new to take its place

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

This is what happens when the whole industry is compromised by the same issue that they are supposed to be reporting on
Sports media is failing fans.
Two months ago, the NBA and MLB had players and coaches indicted by the federal government for placing bets on games. In previous eras, this would be a crisis.
Now? Crickets.

Just rolled credits on Ghost of Yotei. A mostly by the numbers “revenge is bad” story that the medium seems to be infatuated with recently, it’s really brought to life by the implementation of its open world. Ēzo feels alive in a way that most OW games fail to realize. I had fun with it

So many internet counter arguments functionally boil down to “well idk about your data driven arguments, but my anecdotal experience is totally different, so you have to be wrong”. These people basically want you to treat their word as divine truth
"nearly all digital communities become incredibly toxic as a result of fundamental issues in how online socialization works"
"What about [single example of a healthy community]"
thank you for this incredibly salient counter argument.

ICE agents are, once again, proving that they are seemingly devoid of any sort of humanity. ACAB
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.
