    ...HAH!

    ...this sounds like somebody should make one of those memes with Senor Rafael in one of those beehive wigs, and asking to speak to the manager of CINEMARK...:D;)

    It's not inaccurate to say that this was (likely) done to appease the Chinese government. Movie studios do this all the time. My friend works for Disney in a department that works to make sure the movies are govt-approved for various countries. China is the top dog in that regard, but IIRC he said Indonesia was really restrictive too.

    I also think it's fair game to ask if American corporations should be changing what they do to please foreign governments. I don't personally have an issue with movie studios doing this, but I also don't have an issue when they choose not to make the demanded edits from China and others.

    My point is we live in a state ranked last in mental healthcare, first in mass shootings, and the most people uninsured for healthcare. We have much bigger issues to tackle. Rafael never addresses the issues that matter most. He's a Karen that spends his time focusing on crap like Bud Light, Disney, and other crap. None of that does anything to address our biggest problems.

    Cacun Cruz was conspicuous silent when this somewhat pro-China documentary was released

    [​IMG]

    the doc is about a Chinese billionaire opening a factory in an abandoned General Motors plant, In post-industrial Ohio, hiring two thousand Americans.

    Haha. Oh, I forgot to mention his outrage about the pizza ovens in NY. What a Karen.

    He was pretty silent about Trump's China made clothing line and all Ivanka's Chinese patents too. His silence speaks more than his silly rants. Jan 6th is the best example of Cruz' patriotism. He is Trump's patriot, the GOP's patriot, and nothing more. The GOP party wants to be like China when it comes to working children in factories and dangerous jobs to save a buck, and make more profit.

    I do wonder how we came to settle on the name “Karen” to describe these people

    Was the original Karen that went viral to jump start this movement actually a person named Karen?

    It just means white b**** without actually saying it. The name isn't really the point.

    Behold the rarely heard mating call of the Karen. Note its piercing timbre, finely tuned by evolution to travel great distances across customer service counters. This call is so seldom deployed because it is reserved for moments of true crisis, specifically when the male of the species, the sloop shouldered cuck, is inexplicably absent.

    Observe how the Karen, usually content within her palatial nest of throw pillows and unreturned packages, grows restless. She calls. She waits. She asks for a manager. Somewhere, the cuck remains unseen, possibly parking the car, a fate from which no naturalist has ever seen him return.

    She struck me as the kind of absolute idiot who gives animal rights groups a bad name but those guys struck me as the kind of total douchebags who give hunters a bad name.
