Link, the Hero of Dreams 335 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 All the Cable TV movies so far are playing in Spanish. I mean not Spanish Subtitles, but just speaking Spanish. All the TV shows are in English. Weird. Quote Link to post

I'm wondering if it may have something to do with some kind of archiving or the like. I'll take a look this weekend. Quote Link to post

DranSeasona 315 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, Pichi said: the penises must be accounted for Is that grammatically correct, or is it “peni”? English is a funny language with its inconsistent rules... Quote Link to post
Pichi 892 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 that's only for -us words as far as i know. actually i can't even think of any example other than octopus. "genus" for example is genera or genuses it's really an abomination and you should just treat them like normal plural words, because that's also acceptable anyway DranSeasona 1 Quote Link to post

Link, the Hero of Dreams 335 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I fixed my Cable problem. Had to mess with settings. But Big Bang Theory was weird. It was like “Howard takes a glance at the guy” when no one was talking. Quote Link to post
ace 2322 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Big Bang Theory was weird. It was complete shit but still ran for 12 years Quote Link to post
blcdude1 373 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I do hope the Barenaked Ladies got a nice paycheck for the Big Bang Theory theme. DranSeasona and Link, the Hero of Dreams 2 Quote Link to post
Tyranogre 2226 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Big Bang Theory is like blackface for people on the Autism spectrum. I'm glad it's gone. Quote Link to post

As a person with Autism, I’m somewhat offended. Of course I know there is a lot that doesn’t work, but there is a lot of media that never ages well. Quote Link to post

Autism I feel like is the worst excuse for calling people that. Plus, there’s a wide spectrum of Autistic people who have different mental capacities. Maybe I enjoy the show because of how corny it is. But I do watch other shows too. Of course I don’t mean now. Things in this world always change. Quote Link to post

Yeah as non-medically professional as they may be, I've done dozens of online test that suggest I'm on the spectrum. It's not something that can really be easily or accurately portrayed for everyone. I felt the comment was more like "this is what autism is" when it really, really isn't in almost all cases. But that somehow it made them feel "woke" when really it was more like making fun of something without teaching about. Quote Link to post

DranSeasona 315 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I found the show funny usually but really thought they overplayed Sheldon’s stereotypes. Young Sheldon appears to do the same thing, naturally, and that’s still on. I don’t personally have strong feelings either way about if he is autistic and if so, if his portrayal is particularly problematic. Mostly I just remind myself that it’s a tv show and they’re going to take liberties whether I like them all or not. I don’t think it’s the same as blackface. At all. That’s harmful not only because it’s stereotyping, it perpetuates specific and invented stereotypes that by design are trying to dehumanize a certain population. Big problem, obviously. Love him or hate him, Sheldon is not doing that to autistic people. So I feel more inclined to just let it be. Quote Link to post

Wasn't trying to be offensive; it was just the best comparison that I could come up with for why that show is offensive to me. I'm a medically-diagnosed aspie, btw. Quote Link to post
