I found The Terror fairly compelling. Two ships stuck in the Arctic, 150 cranky sailors, maybe a dozen that actually have lines, and one super fucked-up hellbeast trying to eat them.

The following is a tremendously disproportionate analogy given that we're talking about a microblogging website, but I really don't think there's any better term for it:
It's really less like you're calling Twitter by its deadname and more like you're refusing to call it by its slave name. Twitter didn't come up with this on its own, some guy just rolled up and said "I'm changing your name because yours isn't cool enough." Like, fukken Kunta Kinte.
Again, very unfortunate that that's the only comparison that comes to mind but I'm really blanking on anything else. Jean Valjean, I guess. Maybe Darth Vader. Locutus of Borg.
honestly even just saying "shaped" is a bit of a stretch
See that's interesting, couple days now I've been having issues with anything past page 1 getting stuck loading indefinitely, and I'm on desktop; and now that you mention it it does only happen when I'm logged in. So whatever it is, it's not just you, if that's any consolation.
It would be very out-of-character for him to just now try to distance himself from the morally reprehensible, so I'm going to assume he simply forgot the man existed the moment he left his field of view.
That was pretty much the year movies became that big; Griffith's Birth of a Nation, released the previous year, more or less revolutionized the filmmaking process and near-singlehandedly codified long-form cinema as we know it today. Of course it also made the KKK the good guys, so, you know, some aspects coulda been better.
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks woulda been the big names at the time; D.W. Griffith's Intolerance came out about three weeks prior and was cleaning up pretty well at the 1916 equivalent of the box office
At least we can rest easy knowing that concept art was eventually repurposed for the Nightsisters, and there's no way anyone could ever sexualize a tribe of leather-clad magical goth lesbian amazons with spiky chain whips.

(also, imagine saying "maul is the hottest non-human" as if Kit Fisto doesn't even exist)
this is the weirdest political compass I've ever seen
Maaan, all I got was some stupid spatulas.
