That's a great point. Ultimately all stories are contrived, they happen because the writers decided something should happen. Sometimes the events are logical and other times they're a bit silly, but some of the sillier stuff can lend to bigger adventures. Maybe it's just that long-form content stresses disbelief more.

edit: I mean there are good examples. Like none of The Sixth Sense would have happened if someone told

Spoiler

Bruce he was dead at the start

. I'm sure I could come up with a handful of other examples. But it becoming a crutch or overly drawn out is just not fun.

But the Sixth Sense was clever about it.

Spoiler

The dead typically didn't talk to each other, and they set it up to look like he and his wife were having problems and that's why they weren't talking. Plus, he didn't look dead compared to all of the other dead people that we'd seen up until that point.

One of my male family members just became an MRA parody.

He told my mom that he poisoned himself but that she doesn't have any control over the situation.

He's so manly that he'll kill himself to prove that men are superior lol

 

[Granadier]

You slow, fam. I've already gone well beyond that. We have two small children and hate eachother. I'm on the couch in my own damn house. My own damn house.

Yeah, but she comin over later for some Netflix and chili. Sorry to break the news.

Something something Princess Bride reference. He needs professional help.

She threatened to call the police and he just went "no you fucking won't".

Willing to kill himself to prove a female doesn't control his life wtf.

EDIT: The irony is that if he's willing to go that far..... she does.

EDIT 2: He could move out whenever he wants to, but he'd rather live in a house where his shit is paid for. He has nobody to blame for her "controlling his life" but himself.

She's so sassy. She's a rebellious teenager and giving me non-annoying Sansa teas.

I am alive.

I need to find a way to disable Oxygen and Investigation Discovery. It's every night with this bullshit. Them doing nothing but watching stories about women murdering their spouses.

My dad used to watch General Hospital.

I'm just sayin. It could be worse.

Being an American soap opera star would be hellish.

5 different scripts to memorize every week for nearly every week of the year. Although to be fair, at least 50% of every script would be padded with stare at each other while music plays during a scene switch.

I just reread my posts, causing me to reread some other of my posts.

I do not have a normal life.

Why do reality shows like Comic Book Men feel the need to force in stupid fucking dumb fuck fake plotlines and fake manufactured hijinks? Like Ming suddenly using a selfie stick all the time and the other guys being annoyed by it. Just stop. Just do comic book shit. Shut up.

Morning fakers

looks like somebody tried to break in to neighbors house at 1:30 am. Our dog went berserk, tried to smash the kennel fence, barking like insane for several minutes and my mom turned on balcony lights and saw somebody running over our front lawn. Car raced away on the main road several moments later. At 5 am neighbor called and asked if we saw something, because he found some tools at the back door.

let's just all pray for jobs and non-psycho relationships for each other!

No problem!

An unscripted series set in Smith's iconic comic shop Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash and captures the world of the neighborhood comic book store and fanboy culture.

Bing doesn't lie

I think Jobbs' mistake was expecting a reality show to be unscripted.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

CBM is just "let's put a bunch of stereotypes on camera".

 

[Jobbs]

No, that's not the problem. Those are real people who actually work there. If you think they're stereotypes that's your problem.

The problem with the show is the fake shit they force into it. Pawn Stars was guilty of the same thing. I don't need fake plotlines and highjinks. Just stick to the material and the (relatively) natural interactions within the shop and with customers.

Bing doesn't lie

Bing? People use that?

Bing for porn. Google for everything else.

I highly doubt they are not exaggerating themselves for the camera.

This is the truth.

The amount of times that I will hit reply to a thread on GAF, type something out, and then delete it is becoming more and more common. So often it's just not worth the input

It tends to have better results. Not sure why.
Honestly I never use Bing, even for porn.

Google with safe search off is still more restricted than Bing with safe search off.

Also Bing makes finding videos much easier.

Man. The Walking Dead just fucked with me. There may be something to this shit Dragonz

Here's the tea. All 146 Dead Lesbian and Bisexual Characters on TV and How They Died.

This is just the women, I don't know about the male demographic. I was thinking about actually making a thread about it, but I feel it would backfire.

That one worked.

Also that appears to be a lesbian website which is something I haven't considered might exist and I may have to investigate

 

[Jobbs]

Every girl who isn't into me is a lesbian. Ton of lesbians out there. So tired of it!

The exceptions would be the l word, steven universe, orange is the new black, Xena, and Jessica Jones although at least two of those had at least one lesbian death

Hetero relationships are probably unheard of in gem culture. Youre only allowed to be with gems of the same cut, ironically

Well they all appear to be female so its pretty much limited to inter species

And they don't seem to reproduce so its not like Asari where one would be the paternal figure and the other the maternal

 

[Jobbs]

Hah, just a little straight guy humor, but I actually do know a beautiful lesbian! (for real)

I love the word tumult. I wish I had more occasions to say it.

A little queer girl humor, but the only lesbians I know are related to me.

...those aren't exceptions just because they focus heavily on lesbians or gays. A dead gay's still a dead gay. It doesn't excuse the show for playing into the trope.

Jessica jones is definitely not an exception

jeri's ex wife

Personally I would consider Steven universe neither an exception nor and example and I've never seem the rest

Is sense8 an exception or did

Spoiler

the soap star's bf

die? I can't remember. I want to say that happened though which would be interesting cause its more purposely progressive than most things
