I was having a similar argument with someone in connection to the Baltimore riots. He was trotting out the “get an education and stop being welfare lazy...” And I shot back that people feel the system is fixed when you get an education and still get paid unequal amounts after a law passed over 40 years ago says you…

Next time you want to tell POC how they should react to state-sanctioned violence and murder, maybe just don’t say anything. Maybe stop trying to characterize the cornerstone of revolutionary change as some unprecedentedly violent and destructive force. Maybe realize that violence begets violence, and there’s nothing…

The gossip and tabloid treatment of Bruce’s transition has pissed me off from the first. I’ve refused to click any links or participate in speculation. Here’s why:

Actually, he’s completely correct. Context is everything, if it’s a self held truth that is unpopular, it isn’t trolling. If it’s using something unpopular as a source to elicit negative comments, emotions, or just lols for yourself(and possibly others), then it’s trolling.

Just a comment about the Holocaust denier guy. Technically hes only a troll if he KNOWS that what he believes in is wrong, and that others will be bothered by that untruth. If he sincerely believes that he is right, then hes not trolling, hes stating his truth. His truth may be wrong, and deeply unpopular with the…

Yeah, and the guy who climbed into the shower with my then 8-year-old is a respected, wealthy, well-known father of two, totally “normal”!

I’m a POC. Calling that “blackface” is fucking absurd. But I can’t be arsed to spend Sunday arguing about it, so please, take my POC opinion card and express yourself. I’ll hold onto your white guilt while you do it.

“I’m white, so I shouldn’t even have an opinion on this” is retarded. Please stop it.

Biggest point of contention: babies are not all the same. They have different needs.

So it garnered about as much interest as “500 Days of Kristin”?

As a soulless misanthrope cook, I've spent many years being an abyss of resentment generally unaware of the Server's plight. Even as I really hate don't really hate all the world's servers for the bullshit complications they give me during lunch and dinner rushes, unpaid side work is still redicu-stupid. Luckily, my…

Sorry to be that person, but maybe you shouldn't review the gossip rags then - I mean, this is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

I think people aren't realizing that no one actually cared about The Dress. It just gave everyone something stupid and meaningless and therefore harmless to yell about. It's a high stress world. Let us have something dumb to take sides on. We'll go right back to actually hating each other the next day.

I also never identified as a gamer, despite having played video games my entire life, for roughly the same reason Sarkeesian claims here. And I'm a dude.

I'm not sure the concerns of potentially stifling creative work apply when "sexy female enemy" "helpless woman" are extremely common trophes. That is to say, she's arguing for less of the status quo...and if the response is "BUT MY CREATIVITY," well...hate to break it to the developer, but those specific ideas aren't…

All of these things are fair and rational requests to make. Can't see any reason anyone would have a problem with any of them.

The fact that this has any stars at all is so deeply and profoundly concerning to me.

I don't care what anyone says. Kanye is a true visionary...a true artist...a lyrical genius. One of a kind. I'm so happy that BET finally gave him the Visionary Award because he truly deserves it.

The In Memoriam reel only includes Academy members. So the real issue is not that these two were posthumously snubbed but that they were apparently never invited to join the Academy in life.

So...i can ignore the usual snark from Jezebel about women under 25 and actually appreciate her talent? cool

She gets a pass because people want to see a talented dark skinned black woman make it in an industry that has minimal to no respect for our demographic, but she makes it hard for people, including myself, to root for her because she keeps getting into unnecessary fights with people and making ignorant and offensive…
