I get that. Watching what he did during the Abyss was convincing enough for me to say he’s not a good person. He puts his “art” above human life and treating people with dignity.
But I think the quote, charitably speaking, meant how today the indigenous people live a poor life because of the actions of the white suprematist state. I’m somewhat inclined to give him that charity because I know he was there fighting for indigenous rights in Brazil. And there’s the clear pro-indigenous narrative in the Avatar movies. So, it seems like he’s a “white saviour” type at best which is obviously problematic but in a different way than that quote.
And I can be totally wrong about this. I haven’t looked into it anymore than this. Maybe he really feels it’s the indigenous people’s fault they got genocided for not fighting harder. In which case, yeah, get fucked Cameron.

stinky [any]@hexbear.netto vegan@hexbear.net•My experiences on Hexbear have made me afraid to tell my org I'm vegan.English1·2 years agoIMO, people irl are way nicer when you say you’re a vegan. It’s only online (and probably behind my back) that people say shit.
Tell them you’re vegan. Be strong and unbothered by their questions, teasing etc. Don’t try to “convert” them, unless someone asks.

There are alternatives out there. We don’t use them because these ableist words act as a convenient filler, but if there common usage causes some people to feel discomfort, then imo we should look into removing these from our vocabulary.
Unless they operate it like a co-op. Which is definitely possible to do.

“No, you have to be good faith and polite and nice even if I don’t do the same to anyone else because I’m a GOOD leftist and everyone I dunk on is a BAD leftist or a grifter or a chud.”
On a serious note, the culture here on a whole needs to change. But that’s not gonna happen. So, just enjoy the circular firing squads with some popcorn and wait your turn.

stinky [any]@hexbear.netto vegan@hexbear.net•For the 100+ time in my life, a non vegan, unprompted, mentioned indigenous people and militant vegansEnglish1·2 years agoIt’s the only recourse they have. They know their position is immoral, that future generations will look back at their meat-eating ancestors with absolute disgust, similar to how we look at the crimes of our own pasts. But rather than self-reflect, they get defensive and lash out.
It’s the purest, most unadulterated, form of cope.
Under communism all memes will be shared and expanded on communally.
Abolish the private property of memes.
Free the means of meme production.
It’s like a freaking cheat code lmao.

The fucking developers recognise the importance of Twitch. They are giving exclusive benefits to Twitch viewers who watch people streaming the game.
But somehow streamers say it doesn’t matter if they stream the game or not.
10/10 A+++ no notes.
