way too many people feel comfortable joking about bigotry that doesn’t affect them (but ESPECIALLY racism) as long as the joke itself portrays the bigotry as bad and it’s like you’re still making a joke about something you’ll never have to deal with and benefit from...
#when i was a teen there was this abridged series i saw a bit of where one of the running jokes was just#that a character would be racist. and everyone else would be like ''dude stop being racist that's fucked up'' like a boke/tsukkomi routine??#like that was the entire joke#and you could TELL the guys making it thought it was fine and dandy because the other characters were like ''see this is bad though''#absolved of responsibility! It's Satire! ugh.

I can’t bring myself to watch or support Don’t Look Up for a number of reasons and if I see it win awards this year we’ll, that will be super disappointing.
1. A comet being subbed in for climate change is just a poor use of metaphor as it absolves humanity of any responsibility which is…why we have to talk about climate change at all. This is a disaster because of our actions, not a random fate.
2. Having Meryl Streep play a Trump-like President simply does not work either because a woman acting like Trump would never have made it as far as Trump has and it’s frankly insulting to use a woman for such a role.
3. Casting Jennifer Lawrence as a scientist would’ve been fine but then they had to make her wear “frumpy” sweaters and give her some bogus wig in a clear attempt to “de glamour” her in order for her to be “believable” and that’s just…a couple different layers of stupid and insulting. What year is it 1979?
4. I know Leo does a lot for environmental causes but he’s still taking private jets across country to go to parties so he (nor any of these other Hollywood A-listers) have any right to get on a soap box for satire in the name of climate change
The whole concept and execution is just so cringe and lacking…basically mediocre so ugh I guess it’s bound to do well this award season huh?
