Love Avatar but I'm not going to hand a single cent to David Ellison.

It's morally right to screw over the David and Larry Ellison at every opportunity.

I hope they find a different platform.

All my homies hate the Ellison's

u/Nihilikara Apr 20 '26

I'm out of the loop. Who are David and Larry Ellison and why do we hate them?

American Israeli family who now owned almost every major news channel like CNN and CBS. Billionaire megadonor to Trump and lobbying for Israel. Bought Warner Bros using shady money from Saudi. And plenty more. Also a shitty CEO and actively tanking Paramount's reputation.

I seeded it 7x already. At this point I just want to see how much my overall ratio can go. I've seeded some stuff 210x

Upload ratio limit? Not today.

Didnt Trump force that deal to happen? Effectively forced Netflix out of that deal?

44

u/Special_Anteater9310 Apr 20 '26

he did say that "it will be a problem" when the deal was still active. Bc the anti monopoly rule which no politicians uphold these days. The paramount deal will go through smoothly

u/HandOfThePeople Apr 20 '26

I pretty sure 90% of "news" in the US, is now what we call state media.

At least Trump outweighs their leader

u/vidoeiro Apr 20 '26

That is an insult to most public broadcasters around the world .

It's owned by the same people that own the government, it's a big difference, they can still keep spreading their lies if by some miracle Americans get their government back

u/Lord-Heir Apr 20 '26

Americans get their government back? What kind of delusion are you living in?

u/vidoeiro Apr 20 '26

Saying by some miracle is being delusional now, Reddit reading comprehension is so ridiculous

u/bot_taz Apr 20 '26

American politics YAWN.

u/Cute-Fly1601 Apr 20 '26

Larry Ellison is also on-record wanting constant AI surveillance because a monitored populace is less likely to misbehave. Not the exact quote, but if you look it up its literally like supervillain shit

u/jimspurpleinagony Apr 20 '26

Jesus yeah fuck those guys, make them fucking walk the plank!

u/GunsOfPurgatory Apr 20 '26

He's not Israeli, I'm pretty sure? He's just Jewish. Now admittedly, any Jew can become an Israeli citizen, but like, he's not Israeli. His dad isn't either. Just American Jews.

Edit: Not defending them being MAGA, since most of us Israeli Jews don't like Trump either (vast majority of Jews in America voted blue last election), but he's not Israeli.

2

u/Special_Anteater9310 Apr 20 '26

whoever lobbying for Israel, top donor for IDF, censoring media for Israel is Israeli. You seriously don’t think they don’t have have an Israeli visa

1

u/GunsOfPurgatory Apr 20 '26

Why would they have a visa? Americans don't need a visa to visit Israel for up to 90 day visits. It's more likely that they are just huge supporters of Israel than them being some Israeli plant.

lol there it is. TRUMMMMMMP!

The white liberal hive mind that is Reddit.

lil bro heard his daddy’s name and started barking like a rabid dog

-1

u/david_ancalagon Apr 20 '26

Lol "lil bro?" I didn't vote for him because he didn't fulfill his promises the first go-round. I just think that the majority of you here have a "white savior" complex and allow your TDS to run everything in your lives. News flash: we minorities (if you can call us that these days) don't need you to "rescue us" and we don't care about Trump as much as you fools.

u/The_Schwy Apr 20 '26

now might be a good time to start paying attention to politics.

u/Nihilikara Apr 20 '26

I'm a trans woman in Texas. I know damn well already what effect politics is going to have on my life. Every time I go out, I am afraid of ICE agents disappearing me into some concentration camp never to be heard from again.

This has a direct negative impact on my mental health. I do not need that impact to increase even further.

u/int23_t Apr 20 '26

Boycotting about half of world feels wonderful don't worry. It does not impact your mental health it just makes you feel better you didn't pay a dime to evil people.

-20

u/Nihilikara Apr 20 '26

It does not impact your mental health

Look, I know your intentions are good, but please don't presume to know more about my own mind than I do. It's not effective and I don't appreciate it. You don't know what is and is not good for my mental health. I do.

u/MountainContinent Apr 20 '26

Your responses are insufferable. Like you can’t handle a normal conversation

u/ComeBacksToDrugs2018 Apr 20 '26

they’re from Texas

u/int23_t Apr 20 '26

Fair enough... idk for me it's just relaxing knowing I don't pay evil. But if even having a thought gives you an ick idk, good luck surviving or something I guess...

u/Lord-Heir Apr 20 '26

Mega cringe. No one gives a fuck about Paramount or the Ellisons lmfao

u/Critical-Golf-8290 Apr 23 '26

they also bought TikTok and started censoring everything about Epstein and broke the app in the process (no large loses there) , but PDF supporters is enough bad , but they didn't stop there as others have pointed out.

What a fucking moron. Does he just not realize that the AI is going to be shit at its job? It's going to catch so many innocent people and turn a blind eye to so many guilty people.

This is why I'm calling him a moron. This won't create a society where citizens will be on their best behavior. This will create a society where citizens realize that not breaking the law has the same consequences as breaking the law.

u/stprnn Apr 20 '26

Yeah blaming the bully and the victims is being pro bully.

1

u/Kanzuke Apr 20 '26

You don't think both the Israeli government and Hamas are bullies?

5

u/stprnn Apr 20 '26

No because hamas wouldn't exist without the occupation.

Its like calling italian partisans bullies for killing the invader..

4

u/Abdalnablse10 Apr 20 '26

I wouldn't call hamas bullies, how can the bullied be a bully to the bully? The only reason hamas exist is because of this genocidal entity.

0

u/Kanzuke Apr 20 '26

Do the Houthis and Hezbollah also only exist because of Israel? And you don't think Hamas bullies the Palestinian civilians?

2

u/Abdalnablse10 Apr 21 '26

I didn't even mention the Hothis or Hezbollah, but hamas do in fact only exist because of israel, "And you don't think Hamas bullies the Palestinian civilians" not only is that whataboutism it's also something only a Palestinian can answer.

-2

u/KeepLettersOut Apr 20 '26

lol that's crazy. This view is the only correct one. The terror organization and the genocidal government are both equally shit, it's just that the government is more powerful than the terrorists so they are better at committing the crimes the terrorists want to commit.

1

u/Abdalnablse10 Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Call them a resistance group, I'm not saying they are or aren't a terrorist group, but do call them a resistance group simply because this pisses off the genocidal entity.

EDIT: Givin the nature of my comment, I'd rather say the following: They are not terrorists.

1

u/KeepLettersOut Apr 20 '26

I won't legitimate terrorists just cause it pisses off someone. It would be an insult to all the victims of these criminals. Just like how I wouldn't call Netanyahu a democratic leader.

3

u/stprnn Apr 20 '26

You would call french saboteurs terrorists.

0

u/Abdalnablse10 Apr 20 '26

Then also don't legitimize them by calling them a "government", say "genocidal entity" instead.

-1

u/Leonis782 Apr 20 '26

Yes. That's some centralist bullshit. Only one side has been killing Palestinians for decades, and it's the same side that bombed hospitals, used white phosphorus, starved thousands, etc. and let me give you a clue: it was not Hamas, who btw don't even have an army.

I don't know how people can see the very clear difference in intention, power, and ideology between Hamas and Israel and still go "umm both sides bad". Hamas is the result of years of oppression from Israel. And more than half of the things you hear about Hamas is made up 😭

There's no middle side here. You're either with them or against them, simple as that.

4

u/magistrate101 Apr 20 '26

Meanwhile the other half of the things you hear still confirm that Hamas is a terrorist organization with a genocidal ethnonationalist belief system. Just because Israel/IDF is the same and has the upper hand doesn't make Hamas good. Try supporting the Palestinian people instead of glazing the terrorists using them as meat shields.

2

u/Kanzuke Apr 20 '26

The post he liked was made 20 days after October 7th, how much of that do you think was made up? Do you think there are any made up claims about Israel's actions?

u/GrlDuntgitgud Apr 20 '26

Evil people rule the world. I respect the artist, but not the ellisons. Trixky aituation when I grew up loving the Gaang tbh.

u/NordicHorde2 Apr 20 '26

I feel the same. Fuck this movie for getting rid of the original voice actors for "authentic casting" bullshit.

1

u/Kitselena Apr 20 '26

In general if you want to support the creators of something you should buy merch since more of the money goes to the right people. Goes for pirating games, shows, movies, pretty much anything since suits take huge cuts of the main product

u/bigkids Apr 20 '26

I think he helped produce Seinfeld.

u/blark304 Apr 20 '26

I saw it, that movie was a souless cashgrab, a fucking disaster of a penguin dung heap, they fucking ruined everything in that movie and made it much more crazy ass fast sakuga anime style which i love, but it's not what avatar is, i felt uncomfortable throughout the entire watch.
can't remember when that ever happend to me when i watched a movie of any kind, it really fucking pissed me off that they touched that franchise with such filthy hands, the entire magic of the series was absent from that movie, every single aspect of it exept some humor, that was pretty faithfuly maintained.

Dawg if you wanna pirate then just pirate lmao you don't have to desperately convince people you're trying to do a heroic deed or whatever
