Nick “Rocket” Rodriguez (he/him)

The glib Docter comments on Elio are awful; by what metric is any story with an emotional core not therapy? I'm sure $ fears over international and domestic homophobia caused this cautiousness. A disappointing but healthy reminder studios are not our friends even if they make things we love.

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

I'm tired of seeing studios make stories about self discovery, hope, and togetherness only to turn around and behave in ways that spit in the face of that messaging

I think Pete Docter should apologize for his callous and dismissive remarks.

At no point did I know what was gonna happen in #Hoppers. I gasped, I laughed, I cried. Great movie.

Yeah, truly, what the hell is going on with this???

Sentona Games stole $24,000 worth of labor from this writer and now refuses to pay her what she's owed.

Ilja Immler and Andrea Glavačević Jakubi are listed as the co-founders of Sentona Games.

Do not do work for Sentona Games. Do not do work with Ilja Immler or Andrea Jakubi.

I just can’t help but think… WHY is AI being pushed down our throats so hard? Why would I want it? Why should I care? Why would I use something that plagiarizes AND destroys the environment? It’s not adding up, folks.

It's so fucking insulting how these people don't bother to achieve the most basic understanding of the issue they've dedicated their careers to.

As an effeminate gay boy I never experienced gender dysphoria! These are easily distinguishable concepts for anyone who actually listens to the child.

I was an effeminate gay kid and I never felt like I should be a girl. I don't think I would have responded to such suggestions. Gay and trans people have no agenda but for them and others to life their lives authentically and happily, and we know the difference between the LBGTQ letters.

There is a lot that can be said about heated rivalry

But one thing that really baffled me was the discourse around how graphic it is
And let’s be real
People only say that because it’s gay
Because all my life I’ve seen tv shows/movies showing hetero sex more graphically and in detail than that

Why would you do this to me specifically

The fact that they don’t understand this on a basic level never ceases to astound me.

This headline absolutely floors me because it is in fact that simple. It's as simple as not hunting for the next heated rivalry. But instead making good, character driven, fun, emotional TV from writers/directors/stars who may not be proven yet and without MASSIVE IP/Flash/budget.

I didn’t get a video but I once messaged him to tell him I’d shown Jess his directorial debut and she dug it, and he messaged back “Why the fuck would I care what your wife thinks about my fucking movie?”

All of this... and he's a DICK. Like, just not a nice or charming person.

A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.

Hey pirates you should maybe go archive as much Cartoon Network stuff as possible now.

Break up the studios.

I’ll never understand the fetish of wanting to appeal to FEWER people as an audience.

With all the loses they just reported, literally fucking how??? Can we please not do either??? This is so dumb.

I need everything to stop being a FUCKING SUBSCRIPTION.

GAGGED.

Sometimes I still draw.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Hard AGREE.
