So yeah, there is something wrong with the source. It's garbage.

are you upset that you got a popup ad or that it calls for us to stand against white supremacy?

Probably because of the demagoguery it carries.

I hope you're just trolling because I trigger you and aren't really so oblivious that you don't understand what fear-mongering propaganda is.

I wondered what the criticisms of this movie were going to be.

Ben's got a point. People are wetting themselves over this movie. It's being talked about like a cure for cancer was discovered.

i like how you didn't answer the question

so click out of the ad and watch the vid if you're so concerned with the context TC put the statements in. Instead you're bitching about a source because it thinks nazis and the kkk are bad, instead of contributing a single thing to the topic. Not a great look.

Yeah that is pretty much the only point I agree with. The reactions have been way over the top.

nah, his objection was to the ad. It could either be because it was an ad, or because of the content of the ad. One of those isn't controversial, and would be freely admitted.

Ben Shapiro is racist. Along with that Crowder guy.

Given that Black Panther is the 18th movie released in the MCU, with a decent portion of the movies doing very well both critically and in box office.... And that Black Panther the movie is being heralded as one of the best ones out of 18 movies in it's franchise... Why is it any surprise it's going to generate excitement?

Fan reactions have a tendency to go over the top. Happens with Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. etc.

Let people have their fun and enjoyment with something innocent.

Lol people hear complaining about the guy. It's all emotional shit you people live by, use logic for once, meteor man was the quintessential black hero movie, that or the last dragon, both of which (meteor man and Bruce Lee Roy) would murder the black panthers ass. Meteorman touches a book about lions, he would kill black panther. Bruce Lee Roy gets the glow, black panther dies to the only black super sayain.

I dunno why this made me laugh, but I remember really enjoying those two movies

hopefully Black Panther's success will have Marvel bringing back Blade

We don't need anymore Blades (or anymore vampire movies for that matter). We need to resurrect Meteor Man, the first superhero satire (looking at you, Deadpool!).

Why do you still follow him? His success is contingent on people giving him attention.

Regardless of me not liking his stuff, many people do and his talking points are used. So it seems like it's important to be aware of it...? Maybe?

*Ben Shapiro complains about the kind of media attention Black Panther is getting

mocking African Americans who are excited about the films majority black casting.
And that.
How dare they be happy about that!!!

Hes not racist though, just a blow hard

Here is the actual video with those specific quotes:

So, I watched it.

- Ben is right that the media is exaggerating the importance of this movie. This is the NY Times article about the movie, hailing this a major milestone for black America:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/magazine/why-black-panther-is-a-defining-moment-for-black-america.html

- Ben admits at 1:17 that he's being snide and deliberately mocking the response, which is largely due to identity politics wave behind this. This is the biggest thing cjsdowg's shit source fails to take into account when quoting him, despite mention that he was being sarcastic. That was quite deliberate.

- His anecdote about his daughter and Judaism missed the mark and doesn't help his point.

Ben Shapiro complains

in other news dogs bark

Ben Shapiro is not racist .

But its weird like the same thing happened with Wonder Woman where people pretended that there wasnt ever a movie with a strong female lead. Same shit is happening now with Black Panther...

The movie will be underrated by racist and overrated by racist. It is what it is

yea he's just mad that there's a movie starring black people

Not saying I know what's in his heart, but why would he be upset that there are black people who are happy about a black cast?

"if you're happy and supportive of black panther you're a racist...somehow"...CE Logic.

How are people who are happy with the film racists?

thelovefist posted...

....I don't think anyone said that...

KingCrab said it will be "overrated by racists"....apparently if you really like the film you're just racist and are only doing so because its an all black cast.

So the worst part of TCs source is something they didn't say, that being ben admitting to being snide. Hmmm....

I really wish this board had users with reading comprehension worth a shit.

Ben has absolutely no issue with the movie itself. His criticism is squarely of the media narrative and the SJWs who are blowing this up due to identity politics. And he's not wrong about either of those.

Yeah I understand how his comments could be taken that way. This is why I deleted my post.

Yes, how dare people be happy or excited over a movie.

Shapiro's a ridiculous person, and he can use the sarcastic excuse all he wants but we all know there's always true feelings in sarcasm.

It completely misstated Ben's point in the title.

Did anyone else get Mal_Fet vibes from this?

if you admit to being snide you're not strengthening your argument, you're discrediting it, because you're admitting that you aren't being earnest and you're just acting like a bitch for the sake of acting like a bitch

Dude, you don't need to have an opinion on everything. If you want to join in on the conversations, then yes, you should know what you're talking about. But you've admitted you don't like it most of the time. Why bother subject yourself to such... negative energy? So what if other people talk about him? Ignore it and move on. Holding on to things that irritate you, annoy you, and are generally unpleasant will take a toll on your life one way or another.

Yep. Shapiro and his fanboys bitch incessantly about "identity politics" while at the same time playing those cards all the time. But no, it's somehow different because he's just complaining about them. Oh, and wait, he's only being sarcastic!

Please

That's not true. Sure it lacked nuance and context, but it's still accurate. "Completely misstated" is definitely a complete misstatement.

It's the same with the narrative argument. It's not truly about narratives and identity politics, it's about whose narrative and identity.

The title says Ben is shitting on excited black people, when he does no such thing. So yes, it is completely misstated and is clickbait to lure gullible readers like the TC.
