Is there? Is there really?

Hahahaha are you referring to that Black History comment he made??? Sweet Jesus. You also didn't "repeat" anything. What you did say is that Morgan Freeman, paragon of Black Humanity and ambassador of Black America, would look up on diverse work and roll his eyes. Which is cool, because Morgan Freeman is the absolute…

I want to respond to some things you said! Because I like this conversation:

In response to your issue with "hardwired". I could not disagree with you more. People assume that the more money spent on something, generally the better the product will be. It's wrong, but the fact that people make the assumption is true.…

Despite a lot of other stupid stuff in your opinion, did you just speak for Morgan fucking Freeman?

Two things:

(1) I'm really glad you have POC characters in your webcomic! Can I read it or can you link to it in a response so that I can enjoy something else that is also diverse? But, assuming that because you're a white male who has written POC characters (and WOC at that), it "doesn't count" is misguided.

I cannot overstate how much I need this conversation. Its become more and more apparent that the vast majority of our pop culture will be white-male dominated, regardless of motivation by its creators. More so, people defend this practice tooth and nail because it is what is comfortable. Honestly, I didn't know where…

Ubisoft game development cycle:

Stage 1. Develop game for all consoles. Setting? Various and mysterious lands. Character? White guy.

I love that we're hitting my favorite subsection of YA stories. Now that we're out of Bella Swan's stuff, we're into:

1. Group of assorted people are living in a hopeless situation. Maybe someone tried to escape at some point but that guy died, man did he die.

The Five-Thirty-Eight article I've been relying on has said about what you just said.

Lower than the national average, higher than the average—significantly higher!—than the same income bracket. So! I definitely didn't want to insinuate that NFL domestic violence rates were…

You're absolutely right. The issue is that domestic violence is common on every level of our society. That is the real evil. Making NFL players take the brunt of our ire and not actors (Honestly, how many famous actors have been arrested for domestic violence and still continue to have huge, successful careers?), or…

I follow the point though. I can imagine that there would be even more pressure to not report, given the public scrutiny their lives are under. There was actually a story on Deadspin, I believe, where women began calling Baltimore DV shelters saying they "didn't realize this happened to anyone else." And it's…

The Five-Thirty-Eight article says that DV in the NFL is (1) lower than the national average, (2) four times worse than the arrest rate for all other crimes in the NFL, (3) and significantly higher for their income bracket. Correct me if I'm off base but I think that's the basic breakdown?

Good point! But that's all we have to work with?

I don't think that's an accurate reading of the stats. It says that DV prevalence is still considerably lower than the national average, though it makes up a high portion of their total arrests.

I don't know if I'd go that faaaaaaaaar. I read some quick and dirty stats that said prevalence of crime in the NFL is slightly below the national average. It's just more publicized. The issue, I think, is that the NFL has continued to minimize domestic violence and allowed players who were god-awful human beings, in…

The Major takes all cakes.

I cannot believe this was a real human being.

I would like to add that I think ESPN actually did a wonderful job of trying to present this issue with all of the varied perspectives even though they may be awful or sometimes incoherent Ray Lewis stories as evidence. Most importantly, Chris Carter's speech to men, to black men, to people, to black folk to stop…

Lol, white people are hilarious.

Lol you believe in reverse discrimination.
