Cue comments of "but I played GTA X when I was 10-12 and I turned out fine! My attitudes toward women are particularly healthy and mature!".

Also this. People seem to be forgetting that there are different laws regarding freedom of speech in many European countries.

No, censorship is something government organizations do and bans or choosing not to participate in something for ideological reasons are just that: choices.

Yes, you've certainly stated it's horseshit, but done nothing to prove that it is. Assuming you believe rape culture is a real thing and you're not just a troll, how the fuck does a song talking about how women "know they want it" ("it" being the dick) not promote rape culture? It's akin to saying "no means yes" and…

It would be interesting to see how women and men differ on this issue. I can always tell when one of these startups (like that one with freelance taxi rides from strangers) has no input from women. And then they're surprised when women won't use them.

The great thing about things that are true is that they're true regardless of whether or not some mouthbreathing basementdweller believes they are true!

What is this "authoritarian feminism" I keep hearing about?

Well, it's unfortunate that Westerners are unable to examine the many reasons that a non-white person would want to change their other features and it's unfortunate that. Stating "Why are you trying to look white?" isn't productive and I find it really offensive and ignorant. But I never said anything of the sort and…

Yes, opinions on tanned white skin have changed in the past 100 years for the reasons you've mentioned, but that still doesn't tell us much about why women TODAY tan when those historical socioeconomic implications aren't really there anymore. Same for the preference for pale skin in Asian countries.

Again, an article or a comment examining one of the problematic reasons that WOC alter their appear to appear more Western is not passing judgement on WOC. I have no idea why you think this. I agree that it's not helpful to simply say "why do Asians want to look white? Stop trying to look white", but I never said that…

I have already stated numerous times that I absolutely DO NOT judge any WOC for trying to appeal to the white majority when making decisions about her appearance. There is tremendous privileged to be gained in many situations, like the one talked about in this very article. I understand that. Examining the range of…

No one claimed that repressive historical beauty ideals in Asia mean nothing or aren't a factor. You're the one making an all-or-nothing claim because it fits your faux -progressive narrative ("it's their beauty ideals, not ours!") which absolves you from the responsibility if examining the real problem of white women…

Yes, it is and there's a reason for that. White women are not altering their othering features because they don't have othering features. White women have the privileged of not having to worry about whether or not various aspects of their appearance other them because, for the millionth time, there is a white beauty…

Crossing my fingers with you because you'd be a terrible father to a daughter.

Too much stupid to address in this post, but I'll just point out that you're wrong about this - "Racism has nothing to do with intelligence". Yes, it does. Racism stems from ignorance and there is a correlation between racism and low IQ.

If you're already dismissing the very real racism that POC experience, I would think long and hard before you have children. In mixed white/nonwhite relationships, the white parent can often be very clueless about the special kind of othering that their offspring is subjected to. Not to mention the racism that their…

Congratulations. I still don't buy the "naive European" thing and I don't by ignorance of offensiveness of blackface from any Westerner. I barely buy it from Asians or people from countries with no history of blackface because, as I said, there's no context where altering your appearance to appear to be a member of…

If they used blackface, then I'd think "that's racist". I'd also buy that they maybe didn't know it would be offensive, something which I absolutely do not buy from any Westerner. But, it's still offensive and racist, just like it would be offensive and racist for a Mexican person to tape the corners of their eyes…

Tell us more about who we should label as racist, white woman.

When I was a kid, we all dressed up as various important black people from history and gave little speeches about them in school. No one darkened their skin or wore wigs. I was MLK and I wore a nice suit. One kid was Tiger Woods and he dressed up like he was going golfing and held a golf club. Short answer to your…
