No, Fuck YOU
Apr. 11th, 2007 01:55 amI went to add a movie to my Netflix queue just now, and I happened to be scrolling up through the list to see what all I've got on there, and something caught my eye. On the "Queue" page, they list movies you've got lined up by name followed by a star ranking (1 through 5, worst to best liked). I happened to notice that one item on the list had one star as it's ranking.
Now, I've rented clunkers from this service (Underworld: Evolution being the reigning champ, and Bloodrayne being a close, slutty best-friend second). One of the movies on my queue has a two-star rating, even, but most are about three-stars or better (even Earth 2, which I remember liking but never thought was really all that good; and, while I'm on the subject--the fuck is Roar doing on my queue? Since when do I allow Heath Ledger on my queue?). So I stopped to read the title and then I had to see what horrid reviews were dragging down the star rating.
The movie is Deliver Us From Evil, a documentary about a Catholic Priest who molested young children for decades and got away with it because the Church never fired him--they just shuffled him around. Right away, I knew the type who would be posting (trolling) to sink the rating on this one, even when every critic in the country thought it was both a brave and fantastic film (of course, they are all members of the liberal media cabal, so who trusts them?).
I was a bit confused at first, since it seemed like only two reviews gave the movie one star (turns out that representative graphic of the star rating said "the average of raters like you" was one star--and what the fuck does that mean!? I'm no wingnut!). I read through them. The first was pretty standard, decrying the film as anti-Catholic and even calling into question whether or not the story presented therein was true. As it contains extensive interviews with the priest who molested young people admitting to what he did, I'm pretty sure this person never saw the film.
But it's the other review, the one made by someone who definitely never saw the film that made me actually write to Netflix to report them.
( My Netflix E-Mail Tattling--aka ACTIVISM )
I have a good argument--the guy/girl never saw the fucking movie, so there's no way this works as a legit film review. But the part that makes me want to vomit and made me mad enough to send this in to Netflix? This little beauty:
"If you look at the data of the abuse cases the vast majority are accusations against priests who abused adolescents and not children, which makes them predatory homosexuals and not pedophiles."
The blinding stupidity of such a statement almost outrages me more than the bigotry. Because FUCK YOU, you utter and complete BASTARD. So long as the victims of abuse who were preyed upon by people they were meant to be able to trust with their very souls were old enough, this isn't the fault of the people you want to defend but, instead, the fault of the people you defame (and obviously disdain)? As if there's some invisible dividing line of maturity that separates the victims and that there's some tacit agreement between the Catholic Church and The Gay Agenda whereby everyone over that line is fair game for the buggery blitzkrieg (God, I love blogs' inventiveness; I forget who to credit for that, but it ain't mine and it is awesome) but everyone twelve and under is still prime choir-boy rapists' property?
As if...as if sexual predation on minors were so easy to categorize. It's not even easy to blame THE GAY for any same-sex cases of pedophiles abusing kids ('cause, wake up call: most homosexual acts of predation on minors aren't perpetrated by homosexuals), let alone giving them credit for all the ones that involve the kids who can still touch bottom at the deep end of the pool. The obvious ignorance in that post, the firm belief that predatory homosexuals are out there, cruising for cornholes of good honest folks' kids like this "West Coast Irish" just...gah. I get that he wouldn't able to actually examine the evidence regarding same-sex cases of sexual abuse because he somehow thinks that it's not a priest's fault and, therefore, not the Church's fault if this one guy is THE GAY! It's not the Church protecting him from prosecution or his position cowing his victims to keep them from speaking out--it's the SODOMY SQUADRON (also not mine, damnit)!
I do, however, appreciate the fact he/she doesn't seem to get that by saying it's not the Church's fault this guy abused teenagers, and that abuse of teenagers is the purvey of The Homosexuals, he/she implies that pedophilia is the Church's business. The stupidity of someone marginalizing abuse--so long as it's over the Age Line (thanks, Dumbledore!)--made me angry enough to post. The fact that this person pretty much admits that even predatory homosexuals are not pedophiles, intimating that that is the option left to members of the Church, is an irony that does not escape me throughout his "STOP LIBELING MY DOMINANT, IGNORANT, HYPOCRITICAL RELIGION" post.
