yeah I mean I think her saying, “You white people don’t want to admit that not seeing yourselves on screen will actually be damaging, bc it would validate everything POC’s have been saying about representation for so long and force you to take their perspectives and thus make changes” would NOT have gone well on this…

“I cast the Imperius Curse on the hat itself to force my way into Gryffindor”

I get where they’re coming from, but I prefer to think of it as the sorting hat being able to (magically) predict where the student will flourish, if they take the opportunities given to them. I.e., they could’ve stuck Hermione in Ravenclaw, even considered it, but ultimately put her into an unexpected trio where her…

I think part of this is just about sheer numbers in terms of representation. I am sure someone in a biracial relationship like Kumail’s might be really thrilled with that representation...but as the author says, if the pool for “brown characters in general as romantic leads” is so small and white girls are only ever…

to even imply that anyone would be jealous literally proves the point the author (of the article) was trying to make!!!!!!

I know so many people are going to try and be like, “But The Big Sick is about Kumail’s sctual relationship ughhH!!” but I feel like that only adds fuel to the lack-of-representation fire. Also, it matters regardless of this one movie as part of a larger IRL/media trend. Another site wrote about these two pieces and…

Yeah, I think my comment comes across as like, “YOU ARE THIS PERSON”!! whereas I meant more like, I’ve had managers who have used, “when my son does X I don’t Y, so I won’t allow you to!” and stuff and it’s always fucking unbearable. By “programmed to love you unconditionally” I merely meant imprinting and their need…

it’s just not comparable because of the motivations behind the skills, and the expectations for responses to the decisions. It does matter that you’re doing these things for your kids-especially because if your kid doesn’t like the decisions they can’t take away your income. If your PTA colleagues black-list you…

your attitude is actually the kind that I think can produce toxic managers. Your employees are not your children. When you tell your child something unfavorable, you have a completely different power dynamic and relationship than with like, 5 colleagues who are all from a different place, are not programmed to love…

I’ll be honest, her comment is baffling and the context here isn’t very helpful. It sounds like she is acknowledging sexism after racism, i.e., “Racism is undeniable but wow, this sexism stuff exists!!”, which is a weird way of being ignorant. I do like Emilia Clarke a lot, but it sounds like she was saying she…

you had me at Lake Bell, and you EXTRA had me at Wyatt Cenac.

OMG YES to the last part of your comment. This has always made me crazy.

parents are worse than their kids like 100% of the time.

whhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did you do this?

agreed- this looks amazing!!

I’m so pissed at the Wachowskis, they took a BEAUTIFUL fucking show (Sense8 season 1 was literal art, IMO) and they ruined it with heavy-ass plotting like they usually do. That show got Orphan Black-ed like IMMEDIATELY and it sucks bc I agree, such great character development, relationships, representation in s1. …

tbh this feels like some sexism, as I love Sillicon Valley but you could make a lot of the same criticisms (and applaud the same things) about each of these shows’ first seasons (like, literally every episode of SV is STILL “richard has no idea what he is doing but damn he will work hard to do it and also here’s some…

don’t worry!! You’re not responsible for it. But silence speaks volumes so I was interested to see where the criticisms for this show came from since we literally see dangerous triggering content all the time but again, no one seems to mention it until it’s the focus and then it’s dangerous. I don’t know your…

you literally did not address anything i just said?? Also, isn’t this the exact context where it makes sense? I brought up Black Swan bc portman and kunis talked so much about how hard it was for them to lose so much weight to experience the realities a lot of dancers face. I bring up fashion week coverage (on the…

this is the best take on what the trailer is doing wrong by far. I literally thought the same thing bc my hair was SHOT and my skin was sallow when I was at my worst. But hollywood’s gotta hollywood I guess?
