Jessica Chastain disagrees with Apple’s decision to delay The Savant: “In the last five years since we’ve been making the show, we’ve seen an unfortunate amount of violence in the United States”

It is either exploitative and should never been commissioned or it isn’t and hence can be released?

Seems bad for our society that you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

When I saw the trailer, I immediately thought of Jade Parker. She was a woman who started off following ISIS on the internet as a defense contractor before turning to right-wing extremism in the US. I believe she was the first (or one of the first) to use the term accelerationist.
I followed her on Twitter and about a year or so after Jan 6 she had said that she believes she knows who planted the bomb in front of DNC headquarters that morning. Her twitter has since been deleted. I think she’s okay because she’s also accused other PhD-level researchers of stealing her work and shutting her out, and had talked about suing them.

Interesting, I hadn’t even heard of this show. I imagine if they end up releasing it in a couple weeks this could actually increase awareness of it.

Apple knows they fucked up making a show like this. Shouldn’t be trying to make art if you want to be apolitical.
