Cheick's new Schmooveᴮᴸᴹ

mainly because people check these things beforehand

no people don't, they just proved that they don't by not even knowing the context of the scene they're offended over.

There isn't even much to it though

exactly, there isn't much to the scene, it's an inoffensive "hehe this exists lol XD" joke that's being co-opted to create controversy around an apolitical kids film. the kids don't care about this scene, i want to the cinema with my lil sister and frankly, she forgot the joke.

I forgot it too But wrapping back round Criticising media in regards to real world commentary is important, and even if I disagreed with her I don't think she should be dogpiled The line did not criticise police brutality, and Penny thought it was in bad taste My belief is that--

The filmmakers didn't think about it too much Which led to it

again we're back to criticising the film as a whole by passing blame to the filmmakers for making something bad. i've explained repeatedly, the scene criticises by saying he's going to abuse his power, then he does with ease. it's as much as a kids movie will allow within-

the context of the movie, the movie focuses on the bond between sonic and the cop, showing a scene of him bashing the shit out of a black person would conflict with the narrative of the movie. you can criticise the choice of a cop, but then you're criticising the movie itself.
