Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Do you also get creeped out by biopics? Someone playing someone else who isn't them? What a terrible crime. At the very worst it's someone spending their time to entertain us. It's really not that unusual.
Lol comparing this to biopics... What a fucking joke. A piece of literal art (whether I enjoy it or not), written, rewritten, casted, produced, rewritten again, thousands of people working together to create a film from literally nothing....
Totally the same thing as a creepy dude making their username "Margot Robbie" like it's creative or funny... Totally the same thing. Same level of creativity and execution.
Also, perhaps most importantly, biopics of living people are rarely, if ever, made without that person's (or their estate's) permission. They have rights about their image being used. And, if the movie is defamatory, the person can sue.
This isn't even apples and oranges. We're comparing two completely different types and classes of foods.
