Right-wing film critic who lauded dubious sex-trafficking film accused of molestation

A right-wing film critic who lauded a dubious film about sex trafficking — calling it a "call to action" — was arrested and charged with mol

It's true that MAGA, far right fundamentalists, homophobes, broligarchs, and other Trump lickspittles never worry about their blatant hypocrisy. But it's still a lot of fun to expose it.

A toxic Florida homophobe named Aaron Craig Gleason who writes for rightwing propaganda outlets like The Federalist and The Daily Wire has been charged with child molestation.

A right-wing film critic who lauded a dubious film about sex trafficking — calling it a "call to action" — was arrested and charged with molesting a child, court records showed. Aaron Craig Gleason, 39, of Estero, Florida, was arrested last week and jailed in the state on a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior: molestation of a victim less than 12 years of age by an offender 18 years of age or older. He was released on $75,000 bond.

There's an apparent typo in that last paragraph. According to his rap sheet. Gleason lives in Mary Esther, FL rather than Estero, FL. Mary Esther is in Okaloosa County where he was arrested.

At least fellow Floridian Matt Gaetz sticks to high schoolers. Gleason apparently has a thirst for tweens. Curiously, Gleason lives in Gaetz's old congressional district.

Given Gleason's occupation, he had no shortage of potential victims.

he taught Bible at Rocky Bayou Christian School and was a middle school soccer coach.

Florida released him on bond.

(SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLICK THE LINK AND GIVE ELON MUSK'S PLATFORM A BIGGER AUDIENCE: This is bascially a tweet responding to another post. The first post says "Accoring to Trump, it's 'patriotic' to boycott Bud Light for letting a trans person do an ad, but 'illegal' to boycott Tesla because their billionaire founder is taking money from starving children." The response is: "Who remembers when the right burned down Bud factories and stores that sold it, also when they assaulted people for drinking it ? No one.") First off: WTF are you doing on Twitter (yes, Twitter, we will ALWAYS dead-name that social media platform!)? Who gives a rat's ass what far-right chodes are posting there? Fuck that entire platform and anyone on it at this point in the game. Second off: yes, we remember when people were assaulted for drinking Bud Light. Third off: no Tesla factories have been burned down by anyone. A cursory Google search doesn't come up with any verifiable stories about Tesla drivers being assaulted (but does come up with SEVERAL stories about Tesla drivers assaulting other people!). So the responder is not responding with fiction, not facts. They're claiming that Tesla factories have been burned down and Tesla drivers have been assaulted for driving Teslas, so it's on them to show-and-prove. So the responder is attempting to retort a correct observation that Trump does a 180 about consumer boycotts when the boycott is not aligned with his beliefs by making false claims about "the left" burning down Tesla factories and assaulting Tesla drivers and pretending that people were not assaulted by "the right" during the Bud Light boycott by transphobes. Done, But really, Anon, why waste your time with fucking Twitter posts?

The chapter is called what?

So what are your favorite shadow media (pulps, comics, radio, etc)?

My favorites aren't really a mystery. It's generally listed in my bio / intro post / whatever tf shows up first and that ✨️ recommendations post ✨️

The og pulp magazine run is my main Shadow medium. It's where The Shadow's actual character was created and it's the reason I prefer the pulp. He is literally described as creature, a force of nature. The father of horror and heroes. Just a living black mass, descibed as a living dark tornado. It makes hell noises, it chirps with differing vibrations that pops nerves. A human head with eyes in some descriptions actually creates illumination.

Another big reason is its writing format. This shit actually has me reading. I hate reading. Still very much do that has not changed. This is the one exception because its format is more suited to my needs. Shorter stories + perfect length chapters while having just the right amount of content to not have your brain completely swamped.

The Shadow 1994 was my introduction so there will forever be a bias regardless of quality. Why i love this movie could be it's own post entirely so I'm gonna keep it simple

look at this thing.

Like seriously what is that why is it funny.

I love it more after reading pulps because of the written whiplash you get. Like its the most teenage fanfic shit ever and it's incredible. Very imperfect, does a lot of things wrong, a little cringe but still a fun movie that's ahead of its time. The comic adaptation is also really good (and actually better lmao.)

To be old man yelling at cloud I've not looked too much into comics, at least after 1994. Ignorance / Just too focused on the two things above. In The Coils of Leviathan is my favorite I guess "modern" comic. To quote from my recommends it's the closest thing to newer pulp story down to The Shadow character and story structuring (Shads not being a central figure, him being generally silent until the end where he explains his findings, supernatural fronts etc.) Absolutely incredible artwork, moments that will leave you in awe, a sinister monster, and The Shadow being a mythical badass.

Death of Margo Lane is my favorite modern modern comic that I've read so far. The best portrayal of him going mental that isn't stupid. Matt Wagners art is also really good. Probably my favorite current Shadow artist.
