At a time when film criticism is being criticized for being dominated by white men, Rotten Tomatoes is trying to highlight more diverse voices.
The review aggregator, known for its “fresh” or “rotten” Tomatometer ranking system, said it is changing its criteria to include new media platforms, such as podcasts and streaming shows, as opposed to only boasting written notices. In addition, the site will include writers whose work may appear on personal blogs or other platforms instead of only focusing on the pieces they publish for specific print outlets. As part of the change, over 200 new Tomatometer-approved critics have been added to Rotten Tomatoes and the service expects to keep growing its ranks.

Fuck this trash, racist initiative. I’m so fucking sick of “white men” being viewed as something negative, tyrannical or oppressive.
Where are all these social justice cunts when it comes to the NBA? I WANT MORE WHITE MEN! Where all all these self-righteous, chronically offended pricks when it comes to online blogs? I WANT LESS CIS-WOMEN!
Of wait, none of these things are dominated by “cis-white-male” scum, so no one gives a shit.
Fuck this. -

What I’ve learned from the media over the past year about being a white male:
– I have some sort of privilege over other races. Somehow this privilege has benefited me, my whole 29 years of existence.
– Only white people can be racist, I can’t relate to any other races because I haven’t experienced the same obstacles and/or problems as them.
– I ruin everything in general.
