who like has had a whole career separate from tweeting about shrimp and being married to Topanga but I guess his big breakthrough was the shrimp thing?
― Canon in Deez (silby), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 22:42 (three years ago) link
I thought “married to Topanga” meant he really loved Topanga the place, but it’s a Boy meets World character hello I am your elderly auntanyway

I think goes into the '90s. Seems like I know a bunch of younger millennials who went apeshit when it hit streaming.
Of course, the weirdest thing about the show is that Maitland Ward (the secondary actress in later episodes) has become a pretty huge porn star.

I was thinking disgruntled worker at first, but the company claims those "shrimp tails" are actually just clumps of the coating that formed in the manufacturing process. Looking at the picture again I can believe this.

lol, but I only saw this after buying a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros on sale at Walgreen's. I have no idea who those people are either ... though I had heard of the gallery and in my mind it is somewhere in the historical progression from high art to NFTs

In light of the reporting on Scott Rudin, I am thinking a lot about this interview I did in 2017 with Steven Soderbergh. In it, he said that when he talks to students, part of the discussion is about running a humane set. https://t.co/eto1u8pqc0 pic.twitter.com/HjpVOLPsTS— MZS (@mattzollerseitz) April 10, 2021

The THR article cites several other reported pieces, as well as the 1994 film Swimming With Sharks. It is not pretending to break the story.

go on. I’d love to know what the story is here beyond “known asshole remains asshole.”is it that the industry still tolerates all sorts of cruelty? is it that the streaming revolution has shaken up previous hierarchies sufficiently that people feel more empowered to speak out? is it that a new generation is coming up that might do things differently? is it that Rudin’s weak enough now that this can be said out loud in the trades?MZS tweet says more than the THR piece does.

If any reporter or screenwriter ever writes about humans, corporations or governments doing bad things, nobody must ever report on those subjects again, especially if they continue to do the same bad things for decades

English actor, writer/director and producer Noel Clarke thoroughly #MeToo-ed in the Guardian, with 20 accusers so far, and comments suggesting this is the tip of an iceberg. His and his lawyers' statements to the paper, and phone calls to women they suspected of being sources, are flashing neon signs, too.

More anecdotes and statements about Clarke have continued to come out, such as this from the London School Of Dramatic Art.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Sunday, 2 May 2021 01:17 (three years ago) link
can we not use “#me-tooed” when the article doesn’t say that, and it’s used as a shorthand by conservative pundits as a way to say “this person is a victim of mob action and he probably did nothing wrong”?
― mh, Sunday, 2 May 2021 01:52 (three years ago) link
sorry, you said “#metoo-ed”

I still think of it as a righteous reckoning, apologies if anyone reading has converted to reading it otherwise.
(I'm personally inclined to not surrender useful language to those who deliberately try and divert it - it's certainly easy to tell when people are using "woke" sincerely, vs gammons steaming their hamheads about "wokery" and "gwgb" - but will be cautious around that one.)

(The fact that so many women were able to say "me too" when told that others had spoken to the reporters, and more did so in response to the article about the first 20 dropping, supported the value of the phrase imo)

I think it's probably tactically useful to tie it to "remember that time when we decided this wasn't okay (and that time a bit later when we remembered that we decided that again)" - I agree it's not useful to over-consider conservative media's smearing of terms (or there'd be no BLM or Antifa).

Mh’s explanation is useful, but I’d add to it. The term puts the focus on the person being accused and inverts the actors and victims in a really perverse way, to the point that it flattens out the actual happening(s) and the pain caused by it(people talking about what has happened to them) to this very cynical sort of “so and so got targeted by these accusations”. It’s a really unhelpful term at best and I’d encourage those of you determined to use it who you think you’re doing it for.
