I feel like the wording here is confusing since Misty isn't debuting as a soloist (she's been one for a number of years), but as the principal role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake.

All the way to the motherfuckin' top.

Then Kevin Spacey doesn't like you, doesn't recruit you, and doesn't give you a new robot arm. After a quick stay at Walter Reed the Marines dump you on the street with one of those hook hands, screaming pain due to phantom limb sensations, and a number for grief counseling that will set you up with an appointment…

Yeah, guys, it's just two bomb threats. Just two instances which by all logical definitions count as terrorism, and which could have killed hundreds of innocent people. NO BIG DEAL, FOLKS.

Dude, Anita Sarkeesian is nowhere near the level of "celebrity" that we can just brush this off as garden-variety harassment of a public figure by crazy people. It's true that, once you reach a certain level of fame, you're probably going to get fucking lunatics sending you all sorts of stuff, even if you never say or…

Her cover of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" for Catching Fire was incredible soundtrack candy. This is equally fab.

To me, it's just stupid insensitivity. Because even if the person who sent the tweet was only thinking "this is her most well known line from her most well known role," there IS baggage attached that white privilege lets white people ignore. I had to stop and think (as a white person trying to be a good ally) about…

"According to a report from the Mary Sue, Marvel's editor-in-chief, Axel Alonso has since apologized for the image, stating that it did not "reflect the sensibility or tone of the series."

Caveat: I am not brilliant with the fan art thing!

"In my first "Lorunda, King of Elfergarvanen," Affleck is a wizard banished to a dark island known as Cherensta were he must undertake the Trials of the Red Stars. On that quest, he meets a beautiful maiden at a casino in Reno, gets blind drunk, loses thousands of dollars of wakes up wearing a rented cop uniform in a…

How hard should I be laughing that the ad preceding the clip is actually an ad for NFL Mobile? I mean, I am high, so I am laughing pretty hard. I'm just wondering if it is hard enough.

I do not blame her in the slightest for disabling the comments. The rational debate would be buried under the screaming vitriol anyway, and she gets enough of that from all the other channels without leaving that one open too.

We have come a hell of a long way, and I don't think she has to state that for viewers to understand it. (I certainly do.) I want to point out how a few of your critiques of the video don't really stick.

I agree with her on a lot of things, but not everything, and not every conclusion she draws. But she is smart, and puts a lot of thought into her work, and is trying to do something good.

But the issue is that everyone is screaming their heads off and fucking it all up. Anita is not infallible, and everything she says…

You've got a good point. I think it's a matter of how their deaths go down, I think.

If I see a guy die in a game, he's dead along side a pile of other dudes and he's sort of one of a million afterthought deaths. He's also probably killed in a hail of gunfire, or a horde of monsters, or as a ship tears in half. Women…

However, I'm reluctant to say that violence against any single group of people should be removed from creative work since that has the potential to shut down a vein of narrative.

It's a good thing that's not what she said, right?

No one is advocating removing all violence directed towards women from all games. That's pretty much a strawman position that people who don't want anything to change use to rail against.
