Not that I've seen the movie, but I have heard many people complaining that "I'm just in this for the money" makes no sense as an excuse to be doing a shitty job. Last time I checked, corporations generally try to spend their money on people who don't suck.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Right? They were being paid a LOT. One would assume they were the good mercenaries.

ION, I'm really bummed I can't sell this footage, because even though it's not our copyright, it's so incredibly cute.

I haven’t seen the movie, but if I were a mercenary, I would be extremely concerned if my colleagues weren’t doing a good job looking out for my back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, my attention span for youtube ads is getting smaller and smaller. I assume those ducks were cute, but I'll save that discovery for a little bit.
I just saw that the following was tweeted at Willow Smith:
“Willow Smith, you’re 11 years old. Nobody needs advice about ‘being themselves’ from you. Call us back when you get your period”
Now, that's clearly rude, and why the fuck are you being such a shithead to an 11 year old girl? Is that the sort of fight you take on with your day? Verbally beating up on a pre-teen? Dude. Self respect.
However, where I saw this related was within the context of sexism and racism. Uh, isn't it clearly ageism?
I mean, it's not like I haven't read people telling Bieber to shut up and go take some hormones or something. What is the characteristic of this attack that sets it apart as sexist and racist?
Oh, and can someone get my stomach to stop hurting? It's really messing with my plans for the day, which include working, thank you very much.

Because minorities and women have a long history of being silenced and dismissed?

I thought ita was questioning it because they're only criticizing her age, not her race or her sex.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, they are her sex "come back when you get your period" is pretty sexist.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My guess is that anyone calling it a rqacist or sexist attack is ASSUMING the attacker would not send the same tweet to an equivilent pre-teen "star" who is either white or male or both. Quite an assumption to make.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can tell a black person to shut up and it not be racist. This I firmly stand by.
Just like you can tell a woman to shut up without being sexist.
Sometimes you're actually talking to people, not at them.
