Off Topic / Re: Anthony Fantano takes on PJW's "The Truth on Popular Culture"

Ironically, much of the things PJW is going to bring up would've existed for every pop culture movement at some point in time. In the 80s there were people who thought that rock and pop all sounded the same and that 20s jazz gave a much better message. In the 90s there were people that thought that the hip-hop movement was promoting violence and youth to drop out of school, and 70s folk songs were better. We now have people who say this pop culture movement sucks and everything about it sucks, and that the 90s was 'much better' or some dumbstuff.

the trends of popular culture stay the same every movement. the only thing that changes is the audience's tastes.

Culturethany Poptano here

im not going to bother watching either because i have so little time, but pop culture is about becoming successful and not caring about things and what other people think. that's today's pop movement.

i always find it interesting how the same people that complain about popular music or trends are the first to defend the objectification of women in video games and anime

Yo mean right wing beliefs or beliefs you think are right?

Right wing beliefs.

I'm not saying its wrong to express your conservative beliefs, but it's a huge income killer, as we've seen in adult swim and Sam Hyde. Right now it's the slightly unpopular opinion and the opinion that drives away the really polarized left. I honestly think that businesses and entertainment should always maintain an unbiased and non-political stance on everything.

Hollywood is probably more left because most of its celebrities are rags-to-riches minority status entertainers.

Also the entire civil rights policy wing of DOE will be dismantled, which already is a huge loving issue by itself. Teachers might have a hard time finding employment after this, too.

Removing the department of education will completely destroy every educational check and balance that handles things like IEP, paraprofessionals, safety checks and other things. This will privatize education and lead to exploit of students, specifically students who are from disadvantaged families or are disadvantaged themselves. It will also remove all student loans and tax stuff so applying to college will be made 100% harder.

This entire bill is a huge mistake that will hurt millions of american students and families. It's not a good thing unless you have no learning disabilities and live in an upper class family and attend a private school.

As far as I can tell the department of education isn't actually as important as it sounds or particularly useful. It's just more government fat that's not needed.

It's more important than you think.

I feel like this is the type of stuff all sides of the political spectrum can forget my english is bad

i think many conservative and libertarian users will come through and express how bad of an idea this is, on top of 99% of the liberal users

Expressing right beliefs as a major corporation is virtually corporate Self Delete. I'd hope that a conglomerate such as Hollywood would avoid any political speech altogether, but eh.

What kind of disaster resulted in Betsy DeVos being made Secretary of Education?

Of course Pence would want a loving braindead vulture to be handling our already-stuff education system. Good thing it's just a proposition.

sketchup and wings3d

its good to start modeling in something like sketchup, which is an easy medium for turning sketches into full 3d models. then you can just process it in blender and export it.

blender has a forgeted learning curve so i wouldn't dive into that immediately

dont bother; if he adds another option to the poll he'll just end up switching it anyways.

when tony can't handle an abundance of different opinions he fabricates his own results. a true protector of freedom of speech

I'm not even sure how to respond to this without name calling.

How did you get that from Leisure's post anyways? I feel like you're misinterpreting the entire thing for the sake of an anti-SJW boner

Aren't you in favor of anti freedom of speech laws anyways?

No. I would be against this bill for obvious reasons
