Tina isn't reciprocity, and it isn't a public apology. I demand that the gay leaders get their heads out of their arses and actually begin being reciprocal. I was there for you lot on Marriage Equality, while you haven't been there for me on this Gender Identity and Expression Bill. In fact, I infamously told one of my buddies at uni that fat people would become broadly socially accepted before trans people. Particularly given that NZ is one of the fattest nations on the planet, while our trans population is essentially treated as drug addicts, whores and unacceptable in a traditional office, I'd say that I was right. - Shipwrecked 2030 might be enough, and if they accept that violence is a prerequisite for the level of social change that team Green wants, which I really do believe, then they might accept that film violence is preferable to the alternative.
I mean, the Daktory was a truly peaceful non-violent protest, and we accomplished squat. Ollie Langridge camped out on Parliament Grounds for 100 days; accomplished shit-all. I've been coming to Question Time for years, and the only real accomplishment of mine was to push that Gender Identity and Expression Bill forward.
The anti-mandate protest did turn violent, and they got their demands within 6 months of that violent event. Merging with Gaia is a really dark twisted joke, but I genuinely believe that people will start considering concepts like maximum survivable populations in the 21st Century, particularly given that American preoccupation with eugenics.
There isn't a strong causal link between screen violence and real violence. Increased aggression, and a correlative link. Plus, I might add that there's this new Māori film coming out set during the New Zealand Wars, and people invested $7 million into that. Why is it so confronting in a futuristic setting? Isn't the past linked to the future in Te Ao Māori?
