        they have been calling woke, or variation on every scifi that “includes women in power” its prior to it becoming a thing in movies and shows when the executives started forcing that narrative.

    Extra stupid because Ruffalo’s been out and about publicly supporting candidates like Bernie for like 10+ years now and the only reason this goober’s upset cause they’re just now finding out about it.

    Why are the Magats surprised about Ruffalo. Dude has been vocal about his views for a very long time already. Not to mention he’s an actual activist. Or did they never see Dark Waters?

      To be fair, people act in/as things they disagree with.

      Hell, Disney makes a ton of “rebellion” themed works. They also fund arthouse films. Spoilers, disney are not the good guys, they’re the empire.

      There’s an idea for using AI for good.

      Start having Ai generated ads of things Maga likes so they end up destroying all their property.

        That’s the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

        Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn’t decide on one term that I’ve heard more than the other, so I’ll share them all.

        • Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement

        • Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact

        • The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value

        Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.

        This kind of act isn’t as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.

    Reminded me that Mark Ruffalo actually created a Mastodon account in 2022. For a second i thought it was just fever dream i had, but it is actually true

    Stopped posting on it in favor of bluesky though.

    EDIT: wording

    Reminds me of the Iraq War era, when angry conservatives were buying expensive French wine (or had already bought it) just to make a spectacle of pouring it down a drain (in protest at France refusing to send troops into Iraq).

      Or buying cases of Bud Light so they could shoot them, to protest the fact that Bud thanked a trans person who liked their beer.

      “I hate you! I’m giving you money to insult you and prove it!”

      “Okay, I guess?”

      Remind him to work a twelver that day in honor of the poor business owners who were unfairly forced to let their employees have eight hour days by the Haymarket strikes. And no overtime for it either.

      Basically he called tRUMP a rapist, and said Renee Good was murdered.

      Both of which are true. The orange kiddie fiddler has been involved in about 30 sexual based court cases over the decades, the most prominent ones are the E Jean Carroll trial, and also his ex wife where he paid her off handsomely but one of the conditions was she wasn’t allowed to call what he did to her rape.
      And Renee Good was obviously murdered. I mean even if she was aiming her car at the pig that murdered her it’s still illegal to just shoot unarmed criminals. So it’s deffo murder to shoot an unarmed mother pulling out of her driveway in the head 3 times.

      However, some people think it’s ok to rape and murder…

        But, of course, I should have suspected it was just this. The truth is the thing that infuriates this administration the most.

    Saying “you deleted the Avengers films from your Apple TV, yet you’ve already paid for those” is a lot like saying “you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism”. Seriously!
