Rogue One an SJW story

I'm a girl, so I'm automatically good at everything and like super brave, unlike those icky boys. 


So the writers of the new Star Wars movie would like us to know that they few the Star Wars universe as the rebel alliance being a multi-cultural society, led by brave women, fighting a white supremacist empire.

Look at me, I walk like a guy, but I'm more badass cause I don't have a penis.


Great, popular entertainment is now a women/genders studies course, sounds like fun doesn't it? What would be social engineers in Hollywood don't realize is biological reality is hard to overcome. Some women today might like to see portrayals of how they too can join in the adventurous fun, but not at the expense of denigrating men (okay in this instance it's just white men) most women want a man to be a man when it comes right down to it, not a apologizing simply for existing beta male.

I'm a man, but it's okay, I'm not white, so you can still root for me.

Look, I'm as opened minded as anyone, I'm not saying gender, sexual orientation, race, creed, colour or anything else under the protected class umbrella, is incapable of being adventurous and heroic. We've had resourceful brave women in movies for decades (Ripley anyone? And no that's not the only example, but I'm not going to list them) however, two Star Wars movies in a row with the same female character (basically) is a bit much. Then add in making the leaders of the rebellion women and you've lost me, and about 90 percent of your audience.
Women might like the idea of being portrayed as adventurous, but it's not in their DNA, fighting, leading, heroism are part of a boys DNA, but the Star Wars narrative wants to tell boys they're not very good at all that, leave it to the girls.

Oh oh, white male alert!


Remember that biological reality? Girls don't dream about fighting empires, you can have as many heroic portrayals of 120 lb women in popular culture wiping out 6'2 220 lb men, and they might get a kick out of it, but they're never going to actually fight anyone. Boys play fight constantly and real fight occasionally, that's part of being a boy (it's not toxic, it's just being male).
Women (for the most part) also don't lead. Certainly some can and do, and their are heroic female leaders, but they are rare. There's a reason why women, despite all of the endless encouragement and in the case of Canada (quotas) largely don't go into politics, leading and confrontation is not appealing to them. But intelligent young men, who do aspire to work for society, to butt heads in the name of their ideology and champion their ideas, are being turned away, and discouraged before they get out of the gate, cause, it's 2016, and we don't need more men (and God forbid, white men).
With that said,  if you now want to spend $15 to get yet another lecture on how horrible men are, then you're beyond hope. Sure, the special effects are great, and they are some good battle scenes, but what's there to relate to? This film tells you you're evil.
A rebellion actually run by women would never defeat the Empire, since risk taking, as anyone outside of a women's studies course will tell you is not a female trait. So if you must see Rogue One, I suppose you could view it as an unintentional comedy, but is that really worth it?

Youtube the multi billion dollar corp that steals from me

A couple of weeks back the ad sense account linked to my Youtube channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR53rN77zIQ1hbuIZfGZDHw  showed revenue declining. I don't mean revenue was going down as compared to previous days, accrued revenue in my account was being subtracted. At first just a couple of dollars a day, but now it's $9-$10, so at that pace it won't take long until my entire account is emptied. During this period my fewer ship has increased substantially, in a 45 day period I gained 3000 subscribers and went from just several hundred views to almost 400,000. Yes I've had a few of my nearly 50 videos demonetized, but actually none of the real blockbuster ones (over 10,000 views) and I've received no community or copyright strikes. So what's going on? This is exactly what I asked Youtube, repeatedly. At first their answer was analytics and Ad Sense can take a few days to reconcile their numbers, when I pointed out I was talking about a period of wee...

President Trump has many secret supporters in the LGBT community

LGBT Anti-Trump Protest in DC Fizzles Bigly 16491 16 Lee Stranahan by   LEE STRANAHAN 19 Feb 2017 4,021 SIGN UP  FOR OUR NEWSLETTER WASHINGTON D.C. — Even on a beautiful day with temperatures in the high 60s, organizers could not muster a decent-sized protest turnout against President Donald Trump at an LGBT event on Sunday outside the Trump International Hotel, a few blocks from the White House. A group of little more than two dozen protesters danced, kissed, held signs, and played music as an almost equal number of photographers captured the spectacle of social justice warriors who lacked any coherent message except free-floating contempt for the president who took office less than one month ago. As  Reuters reported several weeks ago , LGBT activists continue fear-mongering about the Trump administration: Advocates said on Tuesday they were bracing for a Trump administration rollback of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transge...

Ezra Levant, World's Biggest Hypocrite

Well perhaps Ezra Levent isn't the world's biggest hypocrite, but he's certainly up there. Why pray tell? You might ask. And I will tell you, Levant portrays himself as the tireless champion of free speech, but when it comes to any criticism of Canadian corporate media he will do all in his power to silence said criticism, including slandering yours truly. Why does someone I've never met spread slander about me? I surmise there can be only one reason for him to do so, because I dared to compete against his buddies at Glacier/Post Media. In Canada, if you dare to challenge the market share of the corrupt media companies you will find yourself viciously slandered, possibly subject to phone hacking and blacklisted as a journalist (when it comes to evil corporations they're pretty much the model). Levant began his career with a Glacier Media affiliate and believe me, he would not have been allowed to pursue any of his subsequent media projects without their...
