The doc, Behind the Curve, follows some of the exemplar of anti- ( Read more... )

I got u 😂

Omg. When that woman said she was vegan??? I was like Noooo.

Also it killed me when she was talking about all the conspiracies about her and how crazy/stupid they were, but was like "Wait do i sound like that when I talk about flat earth? No because I'm right!"

Thank you my alien queen!!!!

Yes, it was slowly coming to her in waves like oh shit - it was obvious a lot of it was incredibly misogynistic. It was it kind of hard to feel for her especially when she said she didn't believe that 9/11 happened and that she could only believe those things if it personally happened to her.

I was really hoping that (i guess I'll put this under a spoiler) [Spoiler (click to open)]one of them would have an epiphany and realize that YES THE EARTH IS ROUND and I thought it would be her at that point 😭 and then when Mark watched the eclipse I was like OK NOW HE'S GOTTA GET IT, RIGHT?! 😭 my god lol

I haven't seen this, but I can recommend to everyone HBomberguy's video about Flatearthers on Youtube. It's hilarious and informative.

I just don't understand... What is the appeal of denying long proven facts? There are better ways to be ~edgy.

pixiegerms March 20 2019, 02:32:04 UTC

Nah bruh they actually believe this shit

josiefier March 20 2019, 02:33:39 UTC

I know and I just can't, well, wrap my head around it.

purpleflwr March 20 2019, 04:31:41 UTC

Me either. I literally have trouble understanding the concept of denying something with full evidence. Like I literally don’t understand that mental status. Is it almost a mental illness at that point?

Ooh a hot mess. I tried watching that vax documentary but stopped because I was getting so mad at how stupid they are.

longlonglong12 March 20 2019, 02:29:35 UTC

This sounds too frustrating to watch

vintage_boom March 20 2019, 02:53:29 UTC

It's not that bad tbh the filmmakers really make them look ridiculous.

syvlie0o0 March 20 2019, 03:45:40 UTC

I would normally agree and I did get mad as fuck watching it, but the filmmakers had a lot of subtle ways of constantly pointing out their dumbfuckery.

kansascshuffle March 20 2019, 13:51:49 UTC

I honestly enjoyed it. I'd wanted something light to watch before bed and it was exactly what I needed. I liked how they cut the movie, showing the flat-earthers and then commentary from scientists. Also, it was interesting to me to see more about them instead of only reading that they exist on the internet.
