Jodie Comer

[Moo]

The whole thing with Jodie Comer today is just bizarre, how has it gained traction?

A seemingly nice girl who, I think, to this point has shown herself to be quite decent with her heart and morals in the right place (depending on your point of view of course) suddenly being piled on because of who she's supposedly in a relationship with and his supposed views?? 

I don't get it, just Twitter being Twitter I guess.  I mean, I understand why people might be upset but this "cancelled" business I don't understand.

She made me wooden. 

[Moo]

I like Sandra Oh, she's brilliant as Eve but I think the writing particularly in the third series let her down, she didn't have much to work with.

[Bobby Hundreds]

What was the point in the third series. started well with the young lad dying and then absolutely nothing right up until the end. It was shite.

It speaks to the insidious process though doesn’t it.  The firing comes because of a social media storm leaking into real life, the defunding comes because of a concerted effort of contacting employers and institutions. The intention is to remove the person, make them unemployable and cow others into submission.  
 

 

"Angry mob" mentality is always ugly and often dangerous.  Social media  - Twitter in particular  - makes it a lot easier to summon a mob.

 

Have you ever read Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed". As you'd expect, it's brilliant and a bit scary.

The word for getting fired is "fired".

The word for getting defunded is "defunded".

 

"Cancelled" is just a bit of shit jargon. 

 

 

cf. virtue signalling, snowflake, triggered, cuck etc. Fucking shite this new lingo that’s about. Proper smarmy.

Woke, gaslighting & boomer are another three.

 

People who use them should all be locked in a barn that is then set on fire.

 

Utter, utter cunts.

[Section_31]

Much as I hate the average Twitter user, they're less to blame than the hysterical marketing departments and fellow celebrities who've given a lot of people the reaction they were hoping for. 

 

"Greggs pasties are for everyone, JK Rowling is no longer welcome in our stores." 

 

"Thanks Greggs for giving JK Rowling what for, I don't eat pasties but if I did I'd buy one from your shop."

 

Greggs: "Oh shit." 

 

It's like the wankers who bleat about James Bond. James Bond is a dinosaur and must be replaced by a queer woman of 'color' and I'll remain outraged until this is done. If it was though, nailed on, they would't go and watch it anyway, they'd move on to the next bollocks and the old Bond fans wouldn't watch it either. Its plummeting popularity would be blamed on vile misogynistic 'basement dwellers'. 

 

These people are quasi-professional chip pissers, they exist only to piss on chips, probably because they're extremely unhappy.

I thought she was alright. The show was made for BBC America though so the lead actress (an MI6 agent) seemingly had to be American with no explanation given.

Does my head in this. When they cast someone in a role and ask them to play a specific accent and the person they’ve cast can’t do that accent? Why?? Just get someone who can do that accent, or if you really want that specific person to play the role, make allowances if their accent is shit.

 

In that contagion - Jude Law is a blogger living in America, but does an Australian accent, without any context or reference to it. Why?? He is already a foreigner from an English speaking country. When these stars go “you know, I’m going to do an Ozzie accent here” the conversation should go...

12 months from now these words (along with gammon, Karen, etc) will seem hopelessly outdated as a new lexicon of shite seeps through.

See I don’t even know gammon, but Karen is another prime example. Wasn’t there a Susan at some point for an interfering old bag?

Sandra Oh is Canadian. But well known.

[YorkshireRed]

Sandra Oh was the other one of the three lead actors portraying female trainee surgeons in the first few series of Greys Anatomy.
 

Not unlike her role in Killing Eve she suffers* from being not as fit as her fellow lead(s).

 

*when I say suffer, I’m not taking about her ability as an actress. I also recognise that she only suffers comparison when said comparison is being made by a shallow, feckless individual such as myself. 
 

To be fair, in the two biggest roles I’ve seen her in, she’s been up against it. 

[Chris]

Imagine a fan of a TV show thinking they have the right to tell someone who and who they can't date based on the character they played. What, does there have to be some kind of committee who the actress has to run potential matches by to ensure they fit the criteria? Fuck this shit, man. 

 

Yet they're the same people who'll scream "love is love" at the top of their voices while claiming to advocate for a society where people can openly love whomever they want without fear of discrimination. 

 

This person is clearly mentally ill.

That’s pretty tame for twitter. Group think and the rank lack of critical thinking is rife.

It’s so easily digested. Short format, easily swallowed, just a quick read and retweet. It spreads like wildfire, relies on the perceived authority of the retweeting party, and the lack of critical thinking of the reader. It’s a perfect recipe for the spread of bullshit.
