Typically considered, yet in reality still an enormous part of the modern capitalist economy. Clothes, phones, cotton, tobacco, palm oil, coffee, salt... hell, every year the World Cocoa Foundation puts out another report designed to obfuscate how poorly they’ve done at reducing the number of literal child slaves in…

Of course Grace Randolph is involved. Pretty much any time this kind of dumb take crosses my screen it’s either a Snyderbro or Grace Randolph. She just keeps making up accusations and boosting nonsense claims for the clicks.

Whedon quite famously babbled about being “powerless to resist” the temptation to fuck his female employees, and Michelle Trachtenberg claims the studio took steps to ensure he was never around her without supervision.

For those who are wondering, the porn star in question was Lily Cade. She outright said to lynch trans women, after ranting about them all being evil rapist pedophile predators slicing up your children. She called for specific trans women to be lynched, called for all trans women to “get the rope”, and claimed…

Gee, who would have thought that publicly endorsing transphobia would lead people to think you’re transphobic. I mean, she’s only repeatedly endorsed and promoted people who say trans women’s very existence is a form of rape, but she didn’t say it herself and that’s the only evidence that matters!

There was an unfulfilled promise of the technology back then, and many such technological leaps since: The improvement of human life. More efficiency was supposed to mean less work, more time for leisure and artistic pursuits. And that wasn’t just an imaged promise at first, it was explicitly stated. Hell, the cotton…

The version of this story on AV Club backs up this interpretation:

I mean, he thinks you can catch a virus from radio signals, so...

Those things aren’t inherent risks to the act of surrogacy, only to the business of surrogacy.

I know this is the cheaper route, but I would have preferred to see them remake these books the way movies and comics stories are redone. Get a whole new creative talent to do it from scratch, rather than re-editing the original. “Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, by [New Author]”. Maybe even get a new writer for each…

There’s nothing wrong with surrogacy, but I think there’s a point to be made about how the rich turn one of the most deeply personal things one human being can do for another into a depersonalised, dehumanised commodity. There’s a(n admittedly blurry) line between surrogate and brood mare, and the wealthy sail their…

I should have pointed out: The fact that she’ll still be rich if everyone on Earth stops buying Potter merch only makes her point clearer. If giving her more or cutting off her supply of new money doesn’t materially affect her, then the only possible comfort she could be getting from her royalty cheques is the…

She recently called Graham Norton a defender of rape and death threats for trying to completely avoid conflict with her while saying people shouldn’t ask celebrities about their opinions on trans people, they should ask trans people and their doctors.

Yeah, they definitely do.

I mean, it’s not exactly a stretch to interpret her saying that she responds to boycott attempts over her ideology by “read[ing] my most recent royalty cheques and find the pain goes away pretty quickly” as her believing she feels supported by sales of HP merch. She feels safe to keep being a virulent bigot because…

She was also anti-masking, and anti-isolation, and boasted about not being under “Corona House Arrest” while also living with an immunocompromised family member (her father, who had stage 4 leukemia), and claimed COVID-19 is just a “respiratory flu” and a conspiracy to manipulate voters (“there’s ‘something’ every…

After reading the leaked Joss Whedon Wonder Woman script... Yeah, she made the right choice. The damn thing verges on “she breasted boobily” at times, he throws in his “barefoot naïf” fetish, he writes the titular character as an arrogant fool who needs a strong man to put her in her place... He basically just slapped…

Reading your posts is like watching Joe Rogan call someone a meathead.

The sad part is, the fact that “we live in the most advanced era in human history; technology, knowledge and science has advanced soo much in the passed few decades” means this numbnut chud could just look it up and realise that there have been recorded trans people, including entire classes of trans people with…

There was a study about 5 or 6 years ago that showed the better they were at a game, the less likely a male gamer was to be sexist to female competitors and team mates. Misogyny was disproportionately the domain of the mediocre males.
