Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The movie had never been on my radar, but I was all set to try and watch the movie after watching your initial post. Reading this response and seeing the blurb makes me think that the content of the movie probably some horror stuff, stuff that is very subjective, stuff that some people love and some people hate.
I think the crux of your argument is that if we need to watch content we don't like, if it has been created by a patriot who has suffered for it.
It is illy to call people wet-blankets just because they dont like what you like. If there are lies being spread, would love to hear what those lies are.
I looked at the some of the response tweets you linked. Pretty much what I hear from people about horror stuff, who dont like that stuff.
I personally used to be into horror when I was young, but I have experienced the pervasive sense of negativity thats seeps into your life after watching those movies and I have since completely stopped watching serious horror movies, and I respect the choices of the people who stay away from such stuff as well.
I doesn't mean the makers and watchers of such movies must be inherently bad or anything. If you can watch such stuff, enjoy it and not let it affect your psyche, great for you! I am happy that patriots are creating stuff like this for you that you can enjoy.
Ultimately, we are not aiming for socialism. I am not going to consume content just because its created by people who might share my political outlook. I consume content based on its value, for me.
