Who fucking cares what they prefer? They're useless stupid fucks who are breathing oxygen that could be used by other more worthy animals like slugs or rats. Aldrin was right to deck him; it's only too bad he didn't get a chance to slug a few more of these infowars morons.
It is a travesty the way it sounds like this is going to be handled. Already there tends to be an air of tokenism with the 1 gay character, or (and this is surprisingly common) the gay AND black token character. That is bad enough, but the shortage of openly bisexual and it's not a big deal characters is already…
Yes....and no.. You'll have to forgive me. I'm not exactly politically correct in my terminology... But blacks don't need to be treated like a check box on the representation scale. If it makes sense for the character to be black, make him black. Or her black.
I think you did quite well in navigation.
The purpose was to highlight an interesting discussion in the comments, like we do every day.
posted this on the original article, seems relevant to me (I'm biased tho, so...):
As a queer chick who has gotten buried under piles of shit for suggesting more GLBT characters in various media, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this. You seriously made my day. <3
Constantine wouldn't automagically change
I *will* say that the element is very definitely there in the earlier issues; I've been a Hellblazer fan since issue 1, forgive the appeal to authority, thankyakindly. If Isaac doesn't reply, I'll do the digging. But here's an example from an issue of the Zatanna comic, during the "Everyday Magic" arc:
+PROMOTE INFINITY
So, basically the gun that Gene Simmons had in 'Runaway' has become reality?
I do so love the False Equivalence Game. There are two sides on this issue, one is looking to implement science standards based scientific consensus, the other is looking to implement science standards that are in line with the lobbying efforts of the coal industry and the book of Genesis. The notion that this is…
There are not "two sides." There are science educators advocating for national science-based science standards, and there are superstitious nutbags who think a supreme being revealed the secrets of the universe to a bunch of stone-age goatherds in the desert. That those stone-age goatherds and their spiritual…
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory successfully launched early on July 2nd after a cliffhanger-scrub the night before.…
Could this be humanity's last century on the planet? Of course! Here are seven scientifically plausible ways that…
After the original Orbital Carbon Observatory crashed into the ocean, and the first attempt at launching the…
You're responding to the meta-frame of this article (which I don't control), but the point is valid. Something I'm loving about this is that every scientist and engineer I've spoken to in any capacity related to this project is utterly indifferent to the "climate change debate." It's done, settled, real, and no amount…
Exactly! Every scientist and engineer I've talked to on site doesn't even pretend that this project is going to end the ridiculous debate about climate change; they're just excited to hurry up and get on with exploring the actual science.
Number one thing that has always worked for me. Be polite. This includes the obvious stuff like not yelling, not cursing, and saying please and thank you, but also includes some other stuff, too. Like admitting to the person on the other end that you know they personally didn't cause your problem. That goes a long…
