What pisses me off is the sidebar images, accusing everyone of being racist and misogynistic.

/r/moviescirclejerk claims that /r/movies is a circlejerk, but they're just jerking to a massive strawman.

Would you mind explaining how any of the sidebar images are accusing /r/movies users of being racist or sexist?

The Frozen one that accuses us of just wanting to see actresses naked and calling movies with no nudity "feminist shit"?

A picture of Ella from frozen with this caption below:

"Any movie with a female character that doesn't show her nipples."

My concern here is that this is meant to be a joke (whether you think so or not) and yet you seem to think it's being directed towards you personally. If it offends you that much, why haven't you sent a message to the mods saying this particular sidebar image joke offends you?

To date, there has not been one message in mod mail complaining that the sidebar images are sexist or racist. Considering you feel so strongly about it, why not ask them to remove it?

I know it's a joke, but the punchline is that /r/movies is sexist. That's not the only one, either. There's the 12 Years a Slave one that accuses /r/movies of marginalizing movies about racial issues.

If it's just a dumb joke that we're not supposed to take seriously, why does it only go one way? Why is the punchline that we're all a bunch of bigots, rather satirizing from the other end, that people get offended over innocuous things? The answer to that question is that the mods of /r/movies think that the userbase here are sexist and racist, on the whole.

Considering you feel so strongly about it, why not ask them to remove it?

What does that solve? I'm bothered that the people running this subreddit think we're all sexist and racist. Them removing the images doesn't change how they feel about us. I want them to stop thinking we're sexist and racist.

Did you see the Morena Baccarin thread?

[–]hunterbelmont 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

No, I don't know what that is.

That's too bad because I deleted it when I was mod for a day. Morena Baccarin is an actress who was cast in Deadpool and amid skepticism of her acting ability, someone posted a comment with about 20-30 links of her nude scenes which quickly rose to the top comment position and was met with a very positive reaction (gilded). Bar one single sarcastic comment, the rest of the comments were probably 30+ along the lines of "I'll be in my bunk."

That's crude and inappropriate, but I don't think that's sexist. Someone saying, "I want to masturbate to this actress, because she's attractive" is not the same as them saying, "This actress's only value is for me to masturbate to".

But that is what they were saying. Nobody knew much about her or cared until the pictures and gifs were posted, and then did a 180 when they appeared, knowing nothing of nor caring about her acting ability. Thus she had no value to them until they saw her nude, then she became very valuable.

Who hurt you? You're in every thread about this. You've been here five days, you already have a creepy posting history, and now you're claiming straw-men about a sub that you just started posting in.
