People having opinions about a work’s treatment of race and gender isn’t activism; it’s being an engaged viewer.

If a black writer is concerned about the portrayal of black characters, can you really dismiss that as ‘activism’? First impressions matter, and if a show makes a first impression that somebody finds personally offensive, can you really blame them for not pursuing it further?
“this review is very biased by the editor admitting to having opinions about gender and race, anybody reading this should look up a review by an objective reviewer who somehow has no opinions of any kind on race or gender...”
Or Capaldi as a Bajoran religious wingnut going up against Kira.
Petition to have Jane Foster recast so we can have her version of Thor at some point in the future.
Then kindly don’t. Doctor Who’s aesthetic isn’t for everybody, but it works for the fans of the show. The Modasian Cybermen, to my mind, are scarier than the recent Cybermen builds be cause of the low tech appearance. They look less lime robots and more like people with robot components. They also have more unique…
It wasn’t just a throwback, it was a deliberate way to heighten the creepiness. Most of the Cybermen look like robots, but these had that look of people who literally had just gone under the knife and had their humanity sliced away. Those designs didn’t make me thing brains-in-a-bot, but people who had been flayed…
I know, like Ted Cruz wanting to carve out maternity care from health insurance therefore making maternity care more expensive and unattainable for millions of pregnant women with unborn children inside them, right? Or like republicans wanting to cut Medicaid which pays for maternity, birth and postparthum care for…
It’s too bad the people who get upset that “nobody stands up for the unborn” sit right back down once the child is born and needs food, clothing, shelter, health care, an education, and all the other things children need to survive. The last thing anyone recovering from a devastating storm needs is a pregnancy to…
Dying of a heart attack at the age of 82 in Paris with your life partner at your side is a pretty good death. It would have been better at 92, but still....the only better death I can think of is a family friend who died in his 90s of a heart attack on a Caribbean beach. He was snorkeling with his new girlfriend (in…
So you think that a woman who did not intend to be pregnant in the first place, then just lost her home, her job, and all of her possessions, should let the non-sentient clump of cells inside of her become a person that she can not feed and doesn’t want? You don’t seem to realize that the vast majority of abortions…
You mean the clumps of cells that weigh about a much as three nickels and are growing in someone else’s body? They don’t “want” anything. They can’t want anything any more than the tip of your finger can want anything.
They only have to be born before the Republicans will start to call them an inconvenient burden.
Here’s a thought. Get behind early sex education, free and abundant birth control, and plenty of low cost child care.
lol
I may not always agree with everything the 2nd wave feminists wrote and said, but I can’t deny that they sure did a bang up job of shaking up the status quo in a way that really hadn’t been seen (at least on a large scale) before then. Even today we’re still trying to work through the baggage of yesteryear, but eyes…
Do people really think color is the only recognizable feature of hands? Sure, many people wouldn’t notice, but I feel like a good number of people would be able to tell, or at least suspect, that those were her hands one way or another.
Be sure to call us when you produce a television series that lasts half a century.
Funny, because being willing to embrace its own long history is precisely why I love this show.
Sarah Paulson’s character voted for Jill Stein??!!! She deserves to be haunted by clowns.
