  • Which is exactly why I said TOS and not the US laws. I don’t really agree with the laws here either, because they create a safe harbor for illegal ends, but I understand that it is a lot easier, and arguably better, to self-police the content. That is what Patreon is doing. They view it as a violation of their TOS to generate revenue on a site that knowingly and willingly hosts CSAM. I’m with Patreon on this one. This wasn’t the first offence, and there is no way that the person that runs the site doesn’t know that material is on there. Pleading ignorant isn’t going to work. Running anonymous file hosting, no matter how good your intentions, is going to bring out the worst of the internet, guaranteed. If you can somehow get around that logic, you’ve got a bright future with the NRA.

    Yeah, it really comes back to the idea of if a file hosting service is responsible for what the user uploads, which is an argument that has been going on since the beginning of the internet. Ultimately, yes, I think they are. I think you have to actively moderate what is uploaded, but on top of that, there has to be swifter and stricter punishment for those that do upload things that are against TOS and/or illegal. If someone is uploading CSAM, then law enforcement needs to go after them. Maybe they’ll actually do something people appreciate, instead of killing minorities.

    Edit: If you are downvoting me without giving a reason, I just have to assume you are Libertarian, and that’s being generous.







  • Kathleen Kennedy admitted that the story wasn’t mapped out and that JJ would work with Rian who was to direct the second and write the third film. However, JJ abandoned the project for Star Trek and Cloverfield, and left Rian in the wind. The third movie went through three different directors and a handful of writers (with Rian being excluded completely) before Kennedy called JJ back in, who then abandoned everything Rian had done in 8 and decided that he wanted to make 9 all by himself, thus, “Somehow Palpatine returned,” not to mention that intro that makes the first 20 minutes of the movie feel like a recap to a film that never happened. It was a clusterfuck.


  • To be fair to Rian on TLJ, from what I understand, he was given absolutely zero information to work with from JJ, and when he tried to salvage the plot of TFA and get the franchise moving again, they scrapped his character work and plot lines and “somehow Palpatine returned” was what we got. The new trilogy was a fucking mess, and I don’t blame Rian for that, especially because I know he can write a tight plot.
