Well, a post earlier was asking Disney for an alcoholic princess I am not sure that is an indication of a marketable ground swell for princesses with a substance abuse problem. So yeah of course there is are niches for everything. The point is that only a relatively small number of people are saying they want to see…

So you guys know all of this is well explained by basic human physiology. This is not some doing of the gods or some curse your husband might have put on you.

That is my point... where is the unattractive princess? Why is attractiveness a prerequisite to princesshood.

There is a misconception that media tells us who we want to be. Nope, the media reflects who it believes we want to be. To get a more diverse set of princesses we need to begin valuing all permutations of humans more equally.

"And she's beautiful!"

THIS x 1000.

"Kids can be fucking racist and discriminatory. It doesn't matter how young they are. They've learned it from their parents, relatives, and communities starting from age 3+"

"Plus" in modelling could mean something different from "plus" in general. Just like "short" or "tall" might mean different things on and away from an NBA court.

I figured something like that was going on. This is just dumb populist rhetoric. I thought Gawker was above that.

I hate the NFL as much as the next guy but this all sounds very whiny.

The idea that the white athletes are doing the exact same thing in the exact same way black athletes do it is denying of apparent facts. However one could say that black athletes get more flak for what it is they do which may be due to what is being done or the race of who usually does it. The only way to tease our…

The neat little shoulder fake that sent his marker into convulsions for his first goal was cool, but even that doesn't totally explain why Phil Jones bit so hard for it.

Most likely all of this is simply a clerical error or some other boring oversight apropos of nothing and not some scheme to deny the existence of black people or their worth in commercials.

Exactly... Tragedy! The least likely explanation for all of this is that McDonald's for some reason is out to get its young female customers but that is fuel outrage runs on so carry on folks.

Ah so you're using broad generalizations in criticism of broad generalizations. Nice!

I am not sure what the other competing hypotheses composed of. A pigskin allergy perhaps? He thought the ball was molten volcanic rock? Of course he threw the ball because he was told to.

Ah interesting ... cos I thought that was what "I don't have time for this." meant?

Nope I said rape was about sex up thread and down thread not sure where you see the inconsistency.

- So you discount the relevance of collected statistics on rape and then assert that most rapes (greater than 50% I assume) are unreported. This could be true but since we can't do anything with numbers how do you know this? Its almost like the only numbers you willing to trust are the ones we know the least about

I don't know why the source of the attraction matters. Any attraction you have to anyone could always be because the person is culturally considered attractive. This is not an actionable or relevant piece of information. Sexual attraction from any source is a quite simple phenomenon and it tends not to coexist with a…
