General sentiment (not just you, several folks on here): While this video is godawful garbage, I don’t like everyone making fun of his name. It’s xenophobic and antisemitic.

What the fuck are the strings hanging off his outfit?

WHOA! I did not know this! K.J. Apa is very much “White passing” (definitely NOT “redhead passing” tho, which is why he’s shit for this role) - K.J. is Keneti Apa Jr his dad Keneti Apa Sr is Samoan. Keneti Jr’s sisters can’t really pass. Here pictures of Keneti Apa Sr, “Archie’s dad” and sister.

Oh wow. Well, I guess Russell Brand did date Jemima Goldsmith... whose entire family are EU-hating Tories.

Yes, but it also achieves the oposite: it continually normalizes the sexual objectification of teens - because they are NOT actual freaking teens. Which was also the problem way back in the day with a porn-y photoshoot with Lea Michele and Corey Monteith in their Glee high school outfits.

Thoughts after the Pilot: I fucking HATE the casting of K J Apa as Archie. He’s gross, unattractive and not even ginger. I mean, the one single thing that Archie has to be is a redhead. What is this weird trend that has weird shit dye jobs instead of hiring actual redheads - Clary on Shadowhunters, Jamie on Outlander…

Who do we think this is? Everyone in the comments says Lady Gaga because of the Super Bowl but that would seem absurd to me - Lady Gaga, a logcabin Republican?

Anyone who knows anything about Harvey Weinstein ... knows that this guy is a sexual predator of the worst kind. So... yeah. No bueno.

Why is this tagged only with “xenophobia” and not “Islamophobia” as well?

I would actually find a White House statement that’s quite long as contains specific paragraphs to Roma, people with mental illnesses, the disabled victims, communists, Poles, feminists, homosexuals, girls who had children too young or listened to African American music (yup, there was a camp for them) as well in…

Oh, c’mon! 80% of attraction I’d say is physical. Which is why we are so icked out about many of these couples (okay, not in Sarah’s case, cause Holland just doesn’t look 74) - cause we can SEE that it’s not real on one side or that there is an issue involved for one of the two.

It doesn’t mean the British people support it though....

Well, I’m feeling kind of old right now, so they give me hope that life isn’t over just yet. I think I’d feel ickier about it if it was a 74 year old man and 42 year old woman. But then again: 1) we live in a patriarchy and older women are deemed garbage and 2) Holland doesn’t look 74. I generally judge if it is an…

Sorry, but that is very naive. Coming from the climate field myself: all of his climate change and environment policies follow a very clear plan. Written by ExxonMobil.

Sorry, but anything other than Afro just won’t do. I’m serious.

I’m somewhat tickled by the fact that there seems to be only me and one other commenter who totally love Ellie’s Ansel Elgort obsession.

I will not judge for not judging someone, but I will judge you if you seriously think that’s a “choice” that happens in a vacuum rather than a patriarchal bargain.

In a series that begins with “anti-choice feminism”, “Tea Party feminism” and “Sarah Palin feminism”, what comes next? “Phyllis Schlafly feminism?” “Patriarchal feminism?” “He-Man Woman Hater feminism?”

That is NOT rule No. 1 of feminism. Not at all. That is No. 1 rule of what Andi Zeisler calls “choice feminism” aka bullshit neoliberal coopted feminism. Example: “It was totally my choice not to pay my nanny.” Or “Vaginal tightening was totally my choice.”
