Accountability in Entertainment • Page 396

Seeing all the backlash for Ariana Grande and Amanda Bynes while Drake Bell gets redemption at the same time makes me feel insane

 

How dare they not be a part of a scummy production that takes advantage of children’s trauma for entertainment.

 

Yeah on top of the doc itself giving off bad vibes people are reacting so weird to it. If someone doesn't want to speak out about their experience we're not entitled to that and we should give them space to heal on their own terms

 

Ari is also in an awkward position because her bestie Liz Gillies is married to someone she met on the set of their show when she was 16 and he was in his 30s, plus Jeanette mentioned that Dan favored Ari which is also fucked up and not her fault

 

I'm an episode and a half into the doc and I'm getting so annoyed that they are just constantly doing a tease of big reveals but never doing the reveal yet, it's exhausting

 

BUT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE JUST HOW BAD IT WAS

just fucking tell me then!!!

 

Any notion that "we wrote jokes that we thought kids would find funny! We didn't throw in adult inside jokes to make ourselves laugh! Adults are projecting!" Is such bullshit. Because kids are really going to find a The Wire season 5 reference hilarious right?

 

A good kid show throws adult jokes in for the caregivers watching alongside the kids to enjoy too. But not in a creepy sexual way ideally lol

 

Like a “Wire” reference!

 

Does Peppa Pig sneak in humor for adults because I feel like every kid watches that and I feel genuinely sorry for caregivers who have to put up with that lmao

 

The tweet I posted that got deleted was this clip actually lol

 

True. I remember Animaniacs having tons of Scorsese, Orson Welles, and Tarantino references for the adults. It was moreso pointing out that Schneider's insistace that he was writing jokes for kids and that adults are just projecting is disingenuous

 

Yeah he was def playing dumb for sure

 

Also idk why it just dawned on me that I'm 30+ and the thought of kissing a 14 year old makes me want to vomit. I could never and would never agree to that and whoever he was is sus af

 

Yeah, I think when you are a teen there's a warped sense of what 30 actually is, but when you're 30 or more, looking at teenagers is shocking how young they are.

 

Were there ever any romance plots on Hannah Montana with that guy who was late 20s or 30s in the main cast?

 

I always thought the Good Burger line about wondering what the Mondo Burger manager looks like naked was incredibly weird and out of place.

 

Few things are weirder than “Blank Check” where an 11-year-old has a romance with a full-grown adult. They also kiss and ew boy.

In hindsight, “Big”’s also kind of weird.

 

Oh man for the longest time I thought my memory of the end of Blank Check was just a fever dream because any time I brought it up to my wife she was like “what? Ew no way, I don’t remember that.” Then one day we caught it playing on TV and it was already near the end so when it got to the kiss I had the most horrified version of the Leo pointing meme ever.

 

'Yellowstone' star 'kicked off' flight for allegedly refusing to sit next to passenger wearing a mask

What a dumbass

 

Apparently Quiet On Set is gonna have a fifth episode airing in April...?

 

The first four have been water cooler talk all month, so why wouldn't there be. Striking while the iron is hot seems to be more important than how the subject matter is handled

 

I get what you’re saying and also think that’s such a depressing thing to say.

 

Sorry, I've been feeling stronger and stronger about that docuseries as I've seen more people praise it. Any light being shown on an abusive industry should, in theory, be a good thing. I just feel it's borderline soulless entertainment masquerading as something else, and that makes my skin crawl.
