Nobody is obligated to understand every media reference

The very post we are talking about explains the scene and doesn’t require knowledge of the film.

If comprehending the post itself is too much? Then you are deliberately going out of your way to make yourself culturally blind, and to be a contrarian to what’s popular culture.

don’t remember that seen

It’s the emotional payoff right at the end, not some random scene half way through. If you can’t remember the end of a film, yikes.

In other words, hype

In other words you’ve been going out of your way to avoid it because it’s popular and watching what’s popular would ruin your hipster identity.

that receives hype

If Titanic was some low budget indy film, that would be a fair complaint.

But when it’s one of the biggest films of all time.

Constantly referenced, in the popular zeitgeist for years. Changed movie going for years. If this was Crank 2, sure I would be perfectly ok with someone not knowing. But it’s not.

This isn’t about having a photographic memory for every scene and plot point. (Although if you think you need that to remember the media you’ve watched. Yikes, hate to be you)

At a certain point it changes from “I haven’t watched this so I don’t know” to “I am deliberately going out of my way to pretend to not know anything about this”

That’s being a contrarian, that’s being culturally blind, that’s trying to be a hipster and proud of it.

The irony of posting this to Lemmy

It’s bloody Titanic.

If you never heard it seen anything about it.

You’re either the perfect shut in that doesn’t leave the house or interact with anyone or anything. Or lying through your teeth to make yourself look cool and hipster to random internet strangers.

It’s been talked about online, referenced in other media.

I know the average Lemmite makes being a contrarian their only personality trait.

Lol wut

Lemmites try not to make cultural blindness their only personality trait challenge.

The fact you guys are still treating Trump as a “one off” is wild.

To the rest of the world that’s the image of Americans, for decades now.

The way Derry looks like it’s photoshopped is weirding me out.

I imagine it originally said Londonderry, and that confused the fuck out of the plastic paddy that got an ai to make this.

But they didn’t notice ARMagh under it.

Many Lemmites don’t have the knowledge from previous social interactions to think in any other way.

I’m not trying too.

But I think I have.

I mean, here you are thinking you’re entitled to every penny and asset of your parents
