  • this sounds like being proud of a western bias. we are the fortunate. it should be our duty to consider perspectives that have been disadvantaged and where information about this side of the internet doesn’t flow as freely as it does in the first-world culture.

    was saying “uneducated” wrong? sure. but who was responsible for the frustration and misunderstanding that led to using that word in the first place?




  • they don’t just wrap locations in brackets, they wrap every single link in brackets so the software knows to make it a link. wikipedia’s big shtick is making articles have tons of link to each other so that is not easy to figure out which one is the location

    not to mention examples like Terminator 1:

    Filming for ‘‘The Terminator’’ was set to begin in early 1983 in [[Toronto]], but was halted when producer [[Dino De Laurentiis]] applied an option in Schwarzenegger’s contract that would make him unavailable

    when they started filming, the set was moved to Los Angeles. following a link in that section to Rambo 2:

    The film was shot between June and August 1984 [[Location shooting|on location]] in the state of [[Guerrero]], Mexico, and [[Thailand]].

    clearly, the movie wasn’t shot in “Location shooting”, and we can’t just discard Thailand when placing all of the films dots on a map. similarly, Get Out begins with “[[Principal photography]] began on February 16, 2016.”
