Your Fave is Problematic

I'm hoping that since this article can't be found that it was a bogus article? Because ugh, how could she?

man, maybe it was- it's disappeared. or at least some of the material was off? because she definitely tweeted to Trump about Rush, while going to bat for Assange.

and she's also definitely implied in the past the embracing your sexuality means you can't be a feminist, saying things that support the trash notion that dressing a certain way is "asking for it."
 
Well, technically, no one made her put her child in the school which she claims forced her to vaccinate her child. She could've homeschooled. I'm sure she has the means to do that.
 
I know some people posted profile updates on this last night, but want to get it in this thread for posterity.

WTF and yikes and what a bummer to learn.

But...can you or someone else explain this line of thinking to me? I'm not a sociopath, so the thought of deliberately leaking that someone has filed a restraining order against me is completely mortifying, while the thought of doing it specifically to try to force that person to speak publicly about why they needed that restraining order sounds like an act of utter masochism.

Is this him playing victim? Trying to goad her into saying something that he can claim is slander? Just wants to sic some stans on her to inflict some damage irrespective of the long term cost? Like...what sort of 11-dimensional chess is it to out yourself a potential abuser on Twitter?

(thanks for taking this over here)

I'm not going to claim to be an expert or to understand much about the situation, but in the thread where Priscilla Page calls it out, people surmise it may be a misguided attempt to elicit sympathy ("look at this terrible situation she's put me in") or more likely he's hoping she'll see it (or catch wind of it) and it'll elicit feelings of helplessness and terror. I mean, imagine being so threatened by a person that your only recourse is a restraining order. Now imagine that person inserting that order in a social media post. It wouldn't feel like a mistake. It doesn't seem like a specific message so much as a proven manipulator trying to get one more shot in.

Have to confess, I totally missed the note on the record the first time I looked at the photo.

The more I look at it, the more I wonder if it's just supposed to be a juxtaposition of a soundtrack for a film featuring this woman, with the "Hope you know you are loved and appreciated today" message, alongside the TRO paperwork. As in, "Here's exactly how loved and appreciated I am."

If that's the obvious conclusion the rest of you have already reached, please forgive me for being slow on the uptake.

Again, it seems like people sifting through tea leaves to paint a narrative but I guess if he is gonna be messy and put this shit out there (purposefully or not) without context I can’t fault anyone for drawing these conclusions.

I really don’t know. One thing is clear: he definitely reads his mentions on Twitter, and the replies to that tweet are pretty assertive, but two weeks later he has yet to even acknowledge it.

Whatever exactly is up here, it’s weird.

It sounds worse than the speculation.

‘Upstream Color’ Director Shane Carruth Accused of Abusing Ex-Girlfriend

"Upstream Color" and "Primer" director Shane Carruth is accused of sending threatening emails to director Amy Seimetz after they broke up.

JFC. So he's straight-up unhinged.

Edit: In case anyone reads that as being dismissive about abuse by attributing it to mental illness, let me just be clear that I think he's probably a violent, shitty dude, and that there's something wrong with him that is dis-inhibiting his behavior, as evidenced by his recent interviews and online interactions.

Sounds like there's email proof that he's a violent, shitty dude. These things are tough to read about someone whose art you've championed over the years. This certainly adds some context to what were (in hindsight) years of strange behavior that were always written off as the necessary quirks of a genius auteur at work. A little extra light enters the fray and all of a sudden the water looks awfully murky. One less weed in the flower garden I guess. I'd implore any Carruth fans to forgo watching Primer for the 20th (or in my case, 50th) time, and instead watch Seimetz's new film, She Dies Tomorrow. The buzz is incredible and, by all accounts, that's a few bucks you won't regret spending.

The thought that she's been enduring this, all while making a film about contagious fear, is really something.

I wasn't really familiar with the premise of the film yesterday when I was asking the questions above; now I can imagine that she probably wants it to stand on its own merits and not have it viewed the prism of what's been happening in her personal life. But man, that's difficult to ignore, once you know.

This has to be why he posted that picture to begin with, right? Outside of clouding her movie, I can't think of a single reason to put that picture out there. I guess when you're in a vindictive and abusive vacuum, those tendencies trump all logic. It's disgusting.
 
Looks like Hoops are breaking up again?!




basically what I gathered is that they removed the member who did some shit. That may have been why they first broke up/went on hiatus in 2017. Now they came back without that member but feel guilty because of some other actions by the remaining members which have not been disclosed. They may have glossed over the issue of that member who left and never addressed it initially and feel it’s not right to continue. Behind the scenes they could have just not taken it seriously enough and didn’t completely remove that other member from their lives. Basically still friends with the abuser.

this is a weird one but now I’m sad because I was really looking forward to their new album. I know bandcamp will make good to refund me.

I didn't see anything about them cancelling the album, or do you think they'll shelve it?
