TBF, she did respond saying “Omg ok then u don’t need a source!! 😂”.
I’m really glad she didn’t somehow double down or get arsey about it!
This is why I haaaate “today I learned” posts sourced from a cheesy interview. Some exaggerated or even sarcastic statement gets spun into absolute truth and it’s pervasive
A ton of times these high profile people will be giving a press conference or an impromptu interview to whoever and they take a ton of rapid fire questions. So many times someone will slip in a question like ‘do you think the end scene was symbolic of the protagonists suppressed desire to felate their grandma wearing a strapon?’ and they’re like ‘uh yeah sure I mean if you want to interpret it that way I guess’ then move on. Then the next day you see stories like ‘such and such actor said he wants to fuck his grandma’ and then it spirals from there. I just ignore pretty much everything I read these days tbh.
Robert Pattinson famously just makes random shit up in interviews.
This alone makes me want to look up his interviews. I only ever saw his batman and don’t care about him at all otherwise.
You should check out Good Times. I didn’t take him seriously as an actor until I saw that movie, and when I did, I immediately thought he was Oscar quality.
Here is one (more a feature around an interview) which is absolutely hilarious.
Pretty good, but tbh, I couldn’t get over the fact that they put a fugly jacket that costs more than 3 times what I make in a month on a guy who couldn’t give less of a shit and then voluntarily told their readers that 😂
Pearl Jam said they got their name from psychedelic jelly one of their grandmothers used to make. That seemed to stick for years. Later they clarified that it was just a joke but the grandmother’s name was in fact Pearl.
I always assumed it was a sexual reference
My theory is that it only needs be true once on a TIL and then the rest of the internet will believe it to be true.

It’s a real shame that’s (yet another) community that has been created by someone with no intention of posting anything. That was one of my favourites and I’m tempted to create an active community… but I’m already the mod of 3 decent sized communities and 3 tiny ones. Lemmy really really needs content posters to thrive - even if they’re just stealing content from Reddit like I am!

Yea, but like, I still have my own opinion.
I did research!
I read it on Facebook!
You wrote the movie? Well, I wrote the comment saying you’re wrong.
Checkmate!
Well I’m convinced!
Source?
Can’t wait for these screenshots not to be twitter tbh
Because they’re X haha
Media outlets trying to push a certain narrative?!? Like no way!1!!

Here are the tweets (or is it ‘X posts’ now 😅): https://twitter.com/KarenMcCullah1/status/1413245476409733120?t=cViSCagbawAHKgRtZAkTAg&s=19
I think they refer to them as “exes”. Lol.
I once got into what I would advise my younger self against was an argument about an aspect of Lord of the Rings and I quoted Tolkien himself to prove my point and the guy I was arguing with said, “what does he know? He only wrote it.”
Is it just me, or do more and more women seem to have this obsession with lesbians in movies? More specifically lesbian romance.
Maybe I’m seeing things with different glasses. So help me out here. Something has just changed over the years.
I might get a lot of flack for this, but I do think there is a growing want to be somewhere in the rainbow spectrum because it is seen as “in” right now. If you belong somewhere on that group you are more interesting, more special. At least that’s the, subtle and sometimes not so subtle, sentiment I’m sentiment.
Honestly I do agree.
I’m not dismissing the fact that there are legitimate homosexuals and whatnot. But it does kind of feel like being in that spectrum is seen as the “hit” right now. Like this special group. Especially in teens.
Of course I could be terribly wrong but maybe…nowadays it feels like being straight or not in that group is seen as a bad thing. Like if you’re straight, you’re actually bi and just in the closet.
Maybe as time goes on and being LGBT becomes seen as a normal part of society (which it will) it won’t be so frowned upon whether or not you’re straight, or in that spectrum. I just think we should be accepting of either orientation or gender instead of pushing a specific agenda.
on the other hand, I self ID’d as straight for 35 years until I felt safe not to do so. So it looked like I just appeared in the early 2020s
You teleported out of the closet. I like it. Live your true life funkless!
It’s probably just because people can be more openly gay now than they used to and they want representation in the media they consume. You couldn’t demand lesbian media without outing yourself before.
Not in my experience
The fediverse skews much more queer than real life does, so that may be coloring your perception
I have only been on the federverse for like two or three weeks. I meant in popular media and actually even in my real life interactions.
I have heard things like I tried to be gay, or I wish I was a lesbian, etc. I do think that it’s influenced by media having this archetype of the
cool/suave/fun/wise/good-crazyinteresting side-character friend. Oftentimes these characters aren’t fully developed and their whole personality is that they are not straight, but they have this cool friend group thing going on and everyone likes them.Don’t get me wrong, there are fantastic examples of gay characters in media where they aren’t just the token diversity character, it too often we have quirky-dirky (but flat) interesting person whose only defining quality is that they’re not boring ol’ heterosexual
Debate lords are a disease
