Fitz got owned. About time. :)

THANK YOU!

I think the problem is that it isn't usually an innocent question. The first time someone asks me "where are you from?" I don't get offended. What I get offended by is the follow-up questions/reactions when I answer that I'm from Montreal. The conversation becomes this:

She was so earnest about it. :S

What?!

Are you me? Because I have had this conversation so many times...

This. "freezing temperatures" in Vancouver made me laugh out loud. Obviously Gawker subscribes to the unfortunate "everywhere in Canada is always cold, eh?" mentality.

I think he should have expected such questions and would most likely have been prepped on how to answer them. It would have taken two seconds for him to go "right now I'm focusing on training hard with my teammates". This response is incredibly overblown given what actually happened.

Or a D:

What I was trying to say is the word "females" isn't usually used to referred to people. It's reductive and implies something less than person-hood. I wasn't trying to attack you, and I don't think you meant it that way, but unfortunately tone doesn't come across in type.

Could you please stop referring to women as "females"? This is actually offensive to some people.

When I was a kid I read all the Enid Blyton Noddy books which feature a Golliwog. I always thought it was a toy! It never even occurred to me that it could be referring to a black person. I was so horrified when I realized. :(

That seems more plausible. I'd hope they keep the rapey elements to a minimum, but I think I'm kidding myself.

Thanks for sharing this!

I guess physics don't matter when you're meeting the President in the house he built for you.

What? I missed this.

I was too. That was terrible. What a complete tool.

But then I'll be part of the terrible flesh buffet, and no one wants that...

Me too! It makes me so sad that no one will want to conquer my territory...
