This right here is a problematic mindset. Sometimes its important to trust people when they say the have experienced things you are not the target of. As “Well I havent see racism, maybe theyre just sensitive” is how racism still survives in so many mainstream communities, far beyond fandom, into workplace…

Maybe it’s just me but aren’t we sort of conflating the ideas of madness and evil? Killing innocent people in war is evil but not necessarily madness. Genghis Khan killed so many people in his conquesting that he altered the Earth’s environment but we think of him as a grade A jerk, not a funhouse lunatic. There was a…

While I totally believe that people can grow and learn, “that video is old” doesn’t mean shit if it’s problematic AND they haven’t grown since. We don’t know if he has. But just saying that it’s old and too late doesn’t mean crap. Some things are bad enough and it doesn’t matter if it was a long time ago.

I hate sand. Its coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

You’re only allowed to ask it once if it’s PG 13 though

And here I found myself, in a support group filled with fabulously dressed widows, all wearing strappy Manolo sandals and delicately pulling out a tissue from their Louis Vuitton purses. I couldn’t help but wonder, in a city as chaotic as New York, are we all destined to murder our husbands?

Yep, if a grizzly bear killed 1 white people and had to be shot there’s a 0% chance that similar comments would be getting upvoted like they are right now.

can’t wait to see all the replies that prioritize a tiger over human life

Yeah the rule is obviously “Don’t hold the door open for people you don’t know” and not “Physically deny entry to anyone even if they have a fob.”

Really?  A successful and in demand model and the author of a couple of cookbooks doesn’t have enough going on outside of being a wife and mother?  *eyeroll*

I am furious at Oscar Isaac for wasting his hotness on this maudlin crying porn. He’s going to have to do a lot of making out with John Boyega if he expects my forgiveness.

Norm expressing support and sympathy for his friends is understandable, forgivable even. But pretending that these two have had an even harder time of it than their victims? Asshole move, right there.

Not *that* bad, I don’t hang out with public masturbators or psychotic racists.

I don’t know much about Norm MacDonald, but now I know he’s a piece of shit.

Por que no los dos?

But you know what? The victims didn’t have to go through that.

‘Remember: “No.” is a complete sentence.’ is probably the single best statement to come out of your columns here, and I tend to feel your columns are very, very rich in solid advice/perspective.

This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

Not long after that interview, Dominic West publicly supported Wilson’s comments and said he’d take a pay cut for a woman co-star on an indie project “as long as resources are limited.” West told Variety, “But in a long-running TV show money is not a problem and there’s no excuse for it.” Hmm, okay.

Since it invariably is going to come up, I don’t understand how people can scream “this is a witchhunt” or “people are too sensitive” or “this is SJW nonsense” when time and again big gaming/tech companies have proven to be navel gazing, bro-clubs who alienate anyone who isn’t a straight white male.

It’s not…
