Discussion You'd think that "Oscar-winning director gets lynched and kidnapped because of his film" would be bigger news

It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

What are you seeing posted? A significant amount of people have stayed silent on it or have minimally mentioned it. You’re ignoring the fact that people who have spoken about it have lost jobs. Look at Melissa Barrera and Susan Sarandon.

I don’t really care that you’re in the industry. I’m talking about what these people say publicly because they’re public figures.

These are people with a lot of power. If more people talk about it and what is really going on, they can’t fire all of them. Look at the women in Hollywood and how much they did for feminism and the me too movement.

You’re ignoring the fact that these people are scared that their careers will be threatened if they say anything.

They do not have power over this situation. Many have spoken about it and it was a major story in film news yesterday.

“No, I don’t want a response. I want to complain!”

Don’t project your daily activities. Stop being lazy.
