Alternate headline: Teenage Jailed for Violating Parole After Biting Parent, Stealing Classmate’s Phone

Yeah, “boy she raped” is clearly skirting the issue.

I dont know... as a brown skinned Asian I’ve met my fair share of this whiteness fetish and I still think this does girls a disservice. Unless you change attitudes there will always be a market for fairness creams and when J&J and Unilever bow out the charlatans step in. Theres already a problem with phony, harmful…

It... seems kind of insane that you would ask your children not to have families so that you don’t have anxiety about their safety. Everything else sounds reasonable but that one... no.

This is why I don’t trust people who claim to want movies and tv that are “real”.  If they got it, they’d be bored senseless.  Reality is dull.  We amp up the drama on TV for a reason.

Anyone else weirded out at her crossing out “and she buys things for me” instead of just circling the part she likes best? Like, she knows we can see the what’s crossed out, right?  And then the whole thing about “leaves me alone?”  It’d be cute if he were 13, but he’s 4, and this feels too honest.

“She likes to: leave me alone”

“the only way to free ourselves from the racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia endemic to our schools, prisons, police, and hospitals is to abolish those capitalist institutions”

The writers and artists are calling this piracy, too.

Or, here's an idea, the Internet Archive was wrong and actively taking money away from authors by pirating their books.

Yup. Fuck them for trying to make money so that they can pay their editors, copy editors, graphic artists, publicists, sales people, marketing people, and the authors who write the actual fucking books.

NO.

The “no insurance” one is what bothers me the most.

This is one of the most idiotic articles ever posted on Jalopnik.

I’ll go out on a limb here and be the racist (popular definition). If the police actually took drivers off road that don’t have a license, don’t have insurance and flee after crashing, I’d be good with it. There was a time when if I had any more run ins with these people and I wouldn’t have been able to afford my…

Exactly. It infantalizes every person without the good fortune to grow up in privilege. “They can’t help but lie, cheat and steal; it’s who they are!”

If the two winners can’t be the same gender what is the point of merging them into a gender neutral category? By simple statistics and probability a majority of the winners would be one man and one woman, as non-binary actors are a distant minority. The whole rational is to eliminate gender distinction in the awards.

Sure seems like this article implies that people in poverty lie, cheat, steal and manipulate by default.

Tracy - you will look back at this article one day and be embarrassed by your own classism. Stop talking about people in poverty as if they are equivalent to a 10 year old. 

I’m saying that this particular person was not impoverished not that no white people are poor.
