“I’d like to report someone for attempting to ruin a white man’s life just because he’s a Trump supporter.”

Also, fuck you for claiming that your political party wants rights for everyone and then doing what you fear the right side doing; Oppression of free choice. 

This was a funny post that’s meant to be an ironic twist because muslims who wear headdresses on planes usually end in whites just looking at them and saying something similar to the caption.

Stop talking about white oppression, please, you were never slaves, you were never not allowed to get jobs, you don’t get killed by police for minimal charges just because, you just get called ‘cracker’ and you whine. Yeah, we want rights for everyone, what we’re doing is fighting back. If a white guy got on a plane with a Muslim the white guy would shove him and call him names, maybe even threaten his life. Maybe when you finally understand that your race is mainly racist and constantly put PoC down, so much that it took YEARS to be able to sit in the same schools and whites, you’ll find this funny.

What an incredibly stupid post.

are you saying that my comment was stupid, his comment was stupid, or the actual post is stupid?

OP and yours.

Not sure what she’s referring to, but if it’s anything political (supposedly not enough good roles for women etc.) Stewart is probably the least qualified person to open her mouth (to speak).

I don’t where these gifs come from, I guess it’s from Karl’s Chanel movie short, portraying Stewart as Coco Chanel. 

Just from that sequence I can tell Stewart is doing the meta within a meta industry/culture social commentary similar to what was interwoven in CoSM (comes to no surprise since Chanel donated some clothes for production). I haven’t seen the entire short (or mabe it’s Asyass’ film) but I’ll call it right now: It won’t say anything enlightening about the “serious” artists vs the supposed commercial money hungry producers.

Within this film, I bet Stewart plays the actress honored to get the role of playing fashion legend Coco Chanel. The producers want to change the story and maybe even the integrity to the script and narrative to make it more commercial. Stewart’s character thinks it’s unfair and greedy, shows up the producer in front of paparazzi’s (meta within meta Stewart’s actual life) and shows the world the battle that “serious” so-called artists face when it comes to financing and creating art with integrity.

This is all inspiration from CoSM. The producers, the real ones - not the ones in the linked sequence, want to make Stewart the star and actually help shape her public image as a take-no-shit-badass-actress, pretty much Stewart’s actual PR narrative for most of her acting career.

It’s basically Stewart living out her own projection of herself. Stewart being sorta like the real Stewart, but not really since she’s playing a role.

Stewart, her handlers and Chanel really are squeezing everything they can from her acclaim from CoSM in order to “resurrect” (as one Daily Beast columnist puts it) not just her carer, but Stewart herself. I say please make it stop.

Here’s what a Stewbot said when complaining that Stewart was robbed of her industry nominations for CoSM.

“The general consensus opinion held by film critics say Kristen churned out one of the best, supporting actress performances of 2015–yet her peers in the industry don’t see it that way. Why is this?”

Even despite the bizarre humping from the critics (since the debut of of CoSM in May 2014 and up till early 2016) she wasn’t nominated for a Broadcast Film Association Award, which is the majority of professional critics voting on the acting categories. Doesn’t that tell you something is off?

Either critics’ didn’t really mean what they said and only said it in order to help her career distance herself from Twilight (and the critics and her fans tend to bring up Twilight as if her talents where too great for it) and the Sanders Affair, or they just “forgot” about their verve for her CoSM performance. My guess is the former.

She also missed the BAFTAs and you’d think she’d favor a nom there from her British peers, not too entrenched with American media focusing on celebrities and whatnot, and with the vibrance of the Cesar win, just a few hours a away via underwater tunnel, but no BAFTA nom.

Stewart’s acclaim for the CoSM is mostly a sham. It’s manufactured. Her wins for NYC, LA, and National Film Society is more so a win because they have a soft spot for Stewart. They feel bad for her. They want her to transform into a “serious”, well-respected actress. They are aware how she’s not well-liked in the public eye so what better way to prop Stewart as a misunderstood person who can act, and act with great talent (the constant “standing toe to toe with Binoche” talk). They don’t do this on the same level with Robert Pattinson. They definitely don’t do see Taylor Lautner the same way (compare the projects he does with Pattinson – it’s obvious that producers want to transform Pattinson’s career into a more respectable one).

Kelly Reichdart’s film is coming out before Lee’s and Allen’s. We’ll see how vigorous the critics hump Stewart’s leg this time. Then again she supposedly has $70million in the bank, so a nice check to each of the main Oscar critics (Stone, Feinburg) can’t hurt.

Don’t believe me? See this review on Camp X-Ray: http://www.amazon.com/gp/review/RC1BLYW9E372U?ref_=glimp_1rv_cl

The writer is a BFCA and WAFCA member, as well as a writer for several movie sites. The title showcases the favoritism, “Kristen Stewart Shines Over Simplistic ‘Camp X-ray.” Near the end of the review he praises both Stewart and Moaadi, but in a strange way, saying,“Dressed down in a way we’ve never seen her before, Stewart’s riveting, tough and vulnerable performance may be the finest of her career.“ What? Is this man serious?

Another poser, as a response to the writer’s review, says this about Stewart - “A point of agreement: Kristen Stewart is a fine actor who should stop being penalized for having done the “Twilight” franchise.“ Now this is even more strange because, as you see in the response, it comes at the very end after a long disagreement of the thoughts expressed by the movie critic. Why didn’t he mention Moaadi? Oh, because he doesn’t have a hard-on for him. My bad.

I don’t believe anyone is blaming Stewart for doing Twilight. My understanding is that people thought she was horrid in it, not her agreeing to star in the movie franchise. So again, strange comment, as if the poster “Darren” went out of his way to compliment Stewart as if he had some special interest in her (ironic since my entire tumblr account is dedicated to question her acclaim and the genuineness behind the goodwill). He didn’t comment on Moaadi who seems to be almost a forgotten aspect once we analyze what is said by every other critic when it comes to commenting on the performances. My guess Darren is just the typical Stewbot (after all his Amazon profile shows no signs of other reviews, just the Camp X-Ray one).

Seriously, what the fuck is up with critics thinking Stewart is a “sure talent” and her fans thinking that all the less-than-kind words exist because she partook in Twilight? It’s the same with Pattinson’s fans. Twilight made both Stewart and Pattinson, but each actors’ fanbase think both are highly more skilled than they actually are, and the critics are pushing for both Edward and Bella to become “prestige actors.” I do sense that the bigotry is towards Twilight, the general concept of it and Stephenie Meyers.

So, to all the Stewart fans, your dear actress isn’t being “hated” because she did Twilight (her fans really want to bury that in the past). She’s “hated” because she’s horrid at public speaking and did a less-than phenomenal job as Bella. Get that through your thick skulls. Oh, and she cheated on Pattinson with her boss in broad daylight. That’s some clandestine shit right there.

Is having a meltdown because Stewart wasn’t nominated for an Oscar.

Sound argument, right? Nope. I’ll further tear this thread apart in my “swan song” essay.

As one IMDB poster said about Jennifer Lawrence’s love from the AMPAS, her love “is completely inflated and unjust.” I will apply that same sentiment towards Stewart’s acclaim which garnered her noms and wins from film critics and the critic circles.
