It sounds like you have a good sense of personal boundaries, which neither of these women had (or have), based on what I read in Natalie’s piece!

OMG agree. I saw a Color Purple THREE TIMES! Three fucking times because she was that incredible. I remember watching/listening to her sing “I’m Here” and absolutely sobbing along with everyone else around me because the combination of her vocal prowess and emotional embodiment of that song were so unbelievable. What…

Or the scene where he basically mind fucks her when she’s his captive in TFA

Any time this site entertains the perspective of the extreme left-wing it’s a WILD ride.

omg I have been a Christiano Ronaldo gay-truther for years!

This post is truly peak Jezebel. 

I felt like her daughter’s response is kinda bullshit. I get why she wanted to come to her mom’s defense, but what she remembers is absolutely irrelevant and in no way disproves Katan’s story. She has NO WAY of knowing whether their affair actually began after filming started. And listen, it’s a distinct possibility…

Yeah, reading about The Wars of the Roses really put a lot of Game of Thrones into perspective for me. I think we tend to want to apply our 20th century constructs around politics and the spread of information to this show, but it doesn’t operate under that logic. The wars were precipitated by a potent combination of…

I mean, doesn’t the fact that they have such little shit to work with make it compelling?

Yeah, I’ve always been of the mind that The Night King/wights was a representation of either the black plague OR the very real global cooling that took place during the Wars of the Roses (or potentially both). A sort of bigger, environmental threat that is completely outside of everyone’s control but has enormous…

That makes sense! Honestly, when I don’t like something, I try to keep those opinions offline, and when I have disagreements over taste w/ friends, I try to come at it from a place of curiosity - like, okay, maybe I don’t agree with you, but I can understand your perspective.

Yeah, I feel like internet culture has created some toxic entitlement amongst fans. Nothing is going to be perfect and tick every box.

The show has pretty much established that the “rightful” heir is whoever has a loose claim to the throne that the people support the best.

Honestly, focusing on interpersonal squabbling and ignoring a much larger, existential threat is a very honest, human reaction. It always cracks me up when people complain about characters acting “illogically” - guess what, so do humans. I’ve never had an issue with characters behaving unreasonably, as long as their…

I just personally find a gigantic bit of irony in a Gizmodo Media Group blog taking the position that personal evolution should come alongside acknowledgement and apology for prior misdeeds.

Aside from the fact that concern-trolling is just petty and small minded, from a purely statistical, fact based standpoint, I never understand why people think shaming others is an effective strategy to get them to lose weight. We’ve been shaming people for being overweight for decades and it hasn’t worked so... why…

I mean, it kinda sounds to me like Tyra was seriously traumatized by Naomi’s bullying, and hasn’t fully processed it, even all these years later. I feel like Naomi saying “it’s not that deep” is actually not true at all. This is a person who clearly suffers from some major psychological issues, and rather than take…

Theater attendance was way down before Netflix. 

Honestly I kinda love that they don’t release viewership numbers.
