..... what?

This is kind of a pretentious thing to say. (Yes, the funniness that this sentiment is coming from someone who's username is hoitytoity does not escape me.)

Dear Ms. Appleton,

Exactly! The accusations of being a "rape-apologist" (whatever the actual fuck that means) almost had me taking screen shots of the comments for posting when they inevitably figured out it was a hoax.

yeah, i refrained from commenting on that because I suspected hoax but didn't want the angry mobs calling me a rape apologist for saying I didn't believe it...

Seriously. I stayed away from this stupid thing because I didn't want to deal with the shitstorm that would come my way if I defended him, but it amazes me anyone thought this was real to begin with. Not because of the character aspect of it, but the execution part.

Some of us said this the night that it happened and got yelled at. Seriously, too many people on this site are way too quick to take things at face value without any thought whatsoever about waiting to find out more facts or let things play out.

Seriously TIME, wtf?! Influential how exactly? Can we stop worshiping celebrities and actually give real game changers a shot at glory?

The only issue is that her back dancers (all actually Japanese) don't show any personality or humanity. Other than that, she actually made the video for a Japanese audience because she's gotten really huge in Japan. The director of the video is Japanese. The majority of the staff is Japanese.

Ok, I'm sorry, "steal from our food?" I'm down with most criticisms of cultural appropriation, but that's absurd. I vote we take the bagels away from the goyim, let's see how that goes down.

While it's correct to say that cis-gender people are not trans-gender people (and I'm not sure why you're proud enough of that realization to add "Full stop"), it's wrong to say that "she-mail" / "shemale" is only a term that trans people are allowed to regulate. Many cis-gender people face this term daily. You'd…

I think you put too much weight on terminology. Honestly, I think you are smarter than this. There is absolutely nothing about the word "tranny" that automatically infers "transgender." There is just nothing about that term that has ever specifically implied a person who is actually a woman, as a transgender person…

Quite frankly: I like you, but you are wrong. You do not own this terminology. Any man who dresses in women's clothes—and that is what a drag queen is—faces bigotry. RuPaul can talk about that experience as much as she wants, in whatever terminology she wants. You do not own the terminology. You do not own the humor…

"I'm hoping that bleeds over to FX's Justified, and Erica Tazel's character US Deputy Marshall Rachel Brooks gets more screen time"

Those are both better than the originals.

Oh yes it's always a hoot when the oppressors whine about their freedom to discriminate and howl that their rights are trampled by "fascists" and resort to such hyperbole as being "burned at the stake" (oh the irony that this was originally a religious punishment based on superstition btw), and try to paint their…

it never ceases to amaze me how easily offended some people are. you're just making life more miserable for yourselves. it must be exhausting.
