The media has fallen in line to Trump like a man falling in love with a physically beautiful woman who has told him to his face that she plans to poison him for the insurance payout

Maybe some nature docs/light bio pics? I agree with your indignation though, "Peril" can be judged synonymous to most narrative conflicts - which if you strip out of a long form piece of fictional media, leaves you with... slop?
"Suggestive themes" and "mild language" rule out romance/comedy.

Its anecdotal, but Moana got slapped with PG for "Peril" - meanwhile, in the lion king, the main character's dad is literally brutally murdered and gets a G rating

Some notable G-rated films I'd doubt would be G-rated today. Ratatouille and Lion King among them.
I think in order for a film to be G-rated today, it needs to be so anodyne so as to be long-form brain rot

Should someone be allowed to say they would support you being shot? I happen to think they shouldn't, but wonder what you think.

Yeah well, you can't just pretend toxicity is riskless. It is not. History is riddled with people who lost their lives to litigated and re-litigated conflicts that often initially stem from isolated events many cheer as "justified". I have empathy for you and your family, but I wont kill over it.

I'm terribly sorry, no one should have to go through what you and your family went through.
But yes, I am. You don't get to play God and decide who deserves and doesn't deserve mercy because someone else did - when they shouldn't have. This shit is cyclical in unpredictable ways that never end well

Vigilante violence is not an either or! Its an ALL. Because if you allow vigilante violence a little over here, you inevitably will get a different, potentially "less preferable" bit of vigilante violence over there.

The government can (and should!) prevent and stop and apprehend both the KKK and Thompson shooter. The KKK should be the higher priority, but the Thompson shooter shouldn't be celebrated either.

On this, we agree that they should! Lynching is vigilante violence, which is bad on its own but made worse by the fact it is driven by unjust racial violence.

If MLK theoretically had also happened to be a CEO who could bankrupt me and my family, James Earl Ray would have been 100% morally justified. Got it.

The response to incivility isn't to offset it with incivility to someone else until the levels of incivility are equal, it's to squash incivility!

We should be civil all the time. If you get to choose to be violently uncivil to one group, what's stopping the KKK from getting to choose to be violently uncivil to another? Incivility is pernicious. No one who has ever tried to declare a monopoly on it has ever succeeded.

So if "a majority of people" wanted to persecute, say, trans folks, you'd be ok with that?
Yeah yeah "not the same as CEOs! Etc", but what if they were compelled by propaganda to see them that way, too?
