    I think Andor and What We Do In The Shadows are both interesting because sometimes the internicine wars are more brutal and interesting than the disagreements in our popular consciousness. It’s really easy to hate someone so similar to you.

    Also the stakes are high when you are the minority and need each other to unite in order anything to get done. It really highlights the differences between ideology, whether they had been previously named or not.

    Look at all the people who left the Trump administration and no longer support him. Or how big the hatred for Clinton is in many progressive/left circles. Look at all the religious people who wanted abortion to be banned but now realize they actually disagreed with the fetal life philosophy all along and didn’t realize it.

    Yeah rebels VS empire is cool. Rebels VS rebels is actually way more interesting.

    Not sure the angle here.

    Yes potentially there was “mutual rape” or whatever you want to call it.

    The point of the poster is that a) rape charges against men are often prosecuted, b) going to parties to find “easy women” who are to drink to legally consent, even if you are also at the same level of drunkeness, isn’t a great idea.

    If the poster is sexist, it’s mostly just trying to market to its audience and the legal realities.

    This is a poster trying to get 18 year olds to moderate and consider their behavior, not be a treatise on law or gender studies.
