In the wake of the #metoo movement, Netflix is now enacting new rules.

I approve of this.

I read the missive. I dunno... she sounds pretty salty. The "very rarely being shown any affection" part in particular stands out. I'm sure there's elements in there that are true, others probably exaggerated, but I'd like to hear his side of the story.

Those rules sound perfectly logical to me, but then I'm a New Englander and as a rule we frown upon contact, both physical and eye.

(this is sarcasm)

At this point they just might replace all the crew with robots.
Or just put blankets over all people, so they won't be able to establish any kind of interpersonal contact. Muslims would approve, I am sure.

Honestly this is idiotic. Unwanted hugs and touches is one thing, looks and just generally being friendly, and more importantly human, is another. But apparently they have decided to discard humanity for the sake of being non offensive.

How soon they will start reference to the people as "non-defined human beings" to not offend anyone?

The more I hear about lefty ********, the more I remember one short story I've read many years ago.

One moment that I've remembered the most from it, was when main character (who somehow was transferred from modern world into this future) was trying to get a job and during the talk with the manager he was unable to describe himself.

Their dialogue was approximately as follows:
- I am man...
- Don't say you're man, you will offend women!
- OK, I am young human...
- Don't say you're young, you will offend old people!
And so on.

Back then I thought it was hyperbole. Seems there is no idea idiotic enough to not to become true at the hands of some zealous cretins.

P.S.
Another moment from this story I have remembered was the Church of Darwin. Christianity, but which replaced fictional crap with Darwin and his evolution theory. There was even a choir of singers like in church.

P.P.S.
And another story I remember is an about "Invisible men". It was adapted at one of the Twilight Zone series.
Link

It was about certain humans deemed unfriendly to the rest of humanity so they received tattoo on their foreheads to make them "invisible" (not literally_ to the rest of the people, depriving those punished from any human contact. They could go anywhere and take anything, but no human ever would have reacted on them. And their crime was that they were apparently "unfriendly and arrogant".

So Basically Netflix's new rules is the premise of Ninja Sex Party's song 6969 where human touch had been outlawed

How will they even enforce the "no looking at anyone for longer than five seconds" rule?! Will they actually time it?

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

They will hire special people who will watch how long people look at each other.
Then they will, inevitably, hire people to look at people who will look how long people look at each other.
Ad infinitum.

Or they will pretend to write some special algorithm for their security cameras, which no-one will give a **** about.

All in all, in pursuit of Social Justice, those idiots made a laughing stock out of Social Justice. Again.

But I wonder, how long do you look at people?

You know, if you approve of this rule, you should follow it by yourself, since you are such a devour Social Studies zealot and should show people by example, you know.

So, now, if you look at people longer than 5 seconds, you are sexual harasser, just like 99,9% of the humanity, regardless of their sex because they are not braindead robots who actually do contact with humans outside of their idealized fantasies..

I hope you are ready to pay fines. Lots of them.

More minimum wage jobs, how nice. Yay for precarity.

Nice way for Netflix to invest their money on instead of, I dunno, more shows and movies?

If one blinks in less than 5 second intervals, they can't possibly look at someone continuously for too long. Crisis averted.

i find this one a bit weird..


on the one hand, I've ALWAYS gotten flack for saying something about hardwick just looked like a phony, fake nerd. and more like a used car salesman/business man selling snake oil. I've always hated how he took something that was so personal to people and basically corporatized it and sucked its soul dry.
that, and I NEVER understood how he basically rose out of the gutter over night from basically nowhere, and then was suddenly EVERYWHERE, hob nobbing with the worlds biggest stars and getting some very rare guests on his podcast that didn't show up anywhere else, and then wasted the opportunity big time.... like rick moranis (where he talked more about himself than moranis, BTW).

but on the other hand, all it takes is one accusation and your hollywood life is over. I can see why people think their might be which hunts if in 24 hours your career can be ruined.

I can kind of see hardwick being a controlling jerkwad though. so it wouldn't surprise me if this one is true.

at this point, there will be no celebrities in hollywood left as they get widdled down one by one.

you almost have to play the name game when you see one trending on twitter.
death, fake death, or accusation?
