[@cranberryrosebud]

The one time I've seen the whole mean teacher thing actually work was in The Breakfast Club, and that's because the movie wasn't about how "everyone's racist and woke teens are based", it was about the disconnect between the older and younger generations. His character was exaggerated, but the movie managed to make its point - all these teachers that they try to make "evil" seem to always be in the right; the guy doesn't want some annoying girl lecturing him about the syllabus? That's more than fair enough, all I can do is be on his side in that scene. Especially since these teens aren't mouthing off to their teachers in real life, they're just tweeting about it whenever they get the chance. If you want to make teenagers realistic maybe don't give them a crazy amount of confidence to the point where they're just irritating? Just a thought.

For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️

Racism to them only exists if it is a white person doing it (much like sexism). In most of the SJW speech if you replace "man" with jew ..you would go to jail. And if you switch the man and the woman it would be unacceptable and an example of toxic masculinity. Feminism is not against sexism, it is pro-women. Racial movements are not against racism, they are anti-white. You can trust those people to have a balanced viewpoint the same way you can trust sports fanatic when they say their team is the best and the other team sucks.

[@rorrim0]

We do, we even have a ranking system of who be the whitest based on race. We are an all inclusive ideology that allows decaffeinated Africans to join at the lowest tier, and if they are lucky and marry the right people maybe their children will move up the priviledge hierarchy. Yes We even include gingers at tier 0. Mostly because they are the whitest home slices you'll come around but at the same time they aren't the kinda white we are looking for. They make great enforcers tho, as they can suck melanin from the skin. Did you know that? Its kinda freaky. There are also other ways we can determine the tiers, such as how good are you at golfing? How on fleek your dad jokes are, and the greatest question of all can you dance like our greatest white symbol napoleon dynamite? If so you might be eligible for a white card.

I’m a Hispanic woman, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant who experienced actual racism. My mom encouraged my love of books no matter who wrote them. My all time favorite books as a kid was the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens were such inspiring writers for me and shaped who I am. Ginny is a small minded bigot to judge the greatest authors in human history just because they are white or male. Both of which they had no control over.

@@David_the_Psalmist Never-mind that most of these shows have less character development than most goofy 70's-80's sitcoms. Heck just picking out one in "Three's Company" over time Jack becomes less sexual especially to even joking with his now longer friend female roommates and the gay jokes were fewer after the guy who acted more tolerant (half of jack's issues come from having to play the part, especially over the top at times to make living with two females ok with the landlords)).

The show is so nihilistic and miserable it’s amazing that it’s put up on a pedestal. Then again with how many people go “omg same!” When it comes to that show it’s becoming clearer where a possible trend might be coming from

[@cmc5394oparva]

"When did glorifying misery as a desirable character trait become a thing?" Probably the mid-90s through the mid-2000s, and I say that in all seriousness. All these bitchy characters are written by people, mostly women, who grew up watching "Daria" on MTV. Later on, they latched on to the Jon Stewart version of The Daily Show, which made acting like a smug, know-it-all asshole seem like the right way to engage people. If you want to get to the heart of why modern media characters are so insufferable, look no further than those two shows.

The writers of the show would probably tell you you were indoctrinated and brainwashed into liking stories not penned by someone with your exact ethnic background. Sad, but that's the road they're going down, with what Ginny is preaching. I'm a white male. Spring 2020, I read for my literature class Cathedral by Raymond Carver, Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin, and re-read Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Gilman. I love the one by the one female author, I like the one by a black author, and I thought the white male author's was kinda dull and a little lost on its message. But then I also read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, who also happens to be white, and I loved it. Race just does not factor into how *much* someone can get out of art.

the better question is what does it anything to do with a show like this even if it wasn't woke? Is it a freaking soap opera or promoted as such, or in the more conventional way you just wouldn't do that. I mean the only thing that is as bad as wokeness ruining everything is writing in plot stuff that's so contrived and obsurd it doesn't even belong. And unlike this show most tend to like to wait til closer to the end of S1 or even try to make their show seem needing of 5+ seasons by tossing it in by season 3. If you do it in the first episode of any kind of material (again non woke or not) just take it out back, shoot it, and burn it. This kind of dumpster fire trash has no reason to have ever gotten past one script.

You can’t just write an irredeemable asshole and then try to get the audience to sympathize with her because she was molested. Especially in such a ham-fisted and sudden way. It’s possible to write a sympathetic asshole with a tragic past, but not when their trauma is just a drive-by plot point. Shit like that shouldn’t be character seasoning; being molested isn’t a quirky character trait. Trauma doesn’t immediately equate to a deep person.

I am also very into literature and I'm a woman who loves authors such as JRR Tolkien, Rudyard Kipling, JM Barrie, and others. I don't understand the message this show is trying to give off because it makes it seem like people can't enjoy literature unless it was written by someone who looks the same as them which is totally wrong. As a kid I loved hearing the original Pooh stories, loved the adventures of Peter Pan and Wendy, and connected with the free but isolated Mowgli, not caring that these books were written by men because they are some of the best childrens stories in history. I do not need the author to agree with me or look like me to enjoy their work and those that do - such as Ginny here - are very shallow and shouldn't call themselves literature nerds.

Pretty bad when you have movies like "Meangirls" which just might be some of the funniest material of it's nature, depict teachers like actual real people and those other people around them.

P.S. Definitely "if the CW redid Gilmore girls" vibes, except everyone here is talentless and has no idea how it worked in any way at all. The "everybody is miserable" part might've also worked if it was written out where the girl was like "I'll explain it more" and it came from personal stuff or just a negative viewpoint. However, from someone who is 100% "that bitchy stupid fake girl nobody actually likes except maybe one dumb simp" and the simp is literally Virginia.

I come back to him a couple minutes later and he wants something else, so I ask, "Yeah your tab is James, right?" and this guy whom I have never seen before in my life, gives me this death glare and replies like I'm stupid and he is telling me something I should already know, "My name is Sean." So I get confused because there isn't a tab labeled Sean and I was all but certain his name was James. Long story short, it turned out that for whatever reason he goes by his middle name and apparently hates when people refer to him by his first name.
