That’s all well and good but...

Your anecdotal evidence doesn’t really negate the game’s popularity. The game is popular. Those posts obviously get clicks or they wouldn’t continue to be posted. Get over it.

I don’t want to be “that” guy, but screw it.

quit lying...you dont have friends

I don’t think we can. We tried. It didn’t work. We’re locked.

I try not to engage with them too frequently, but these faux-patriots are the same people (ahem, my uncles and male cousins) who tell me I hate America b/c I won’t let them dismiss institutional racism or feminism or anything that threatens their rose-colored glasses regressive narrative - and they usually add that my…

I totally agree. During the Chris Mathews town hall meeting last night, Bill Weld came off as highly intelligent, caring and down to Earth. Gary Johnson came off as a smug and stupid person who couldn’t name a single leader in the entire world that he admires. He later backtracked and said it wasn’t that he couldn’t…

Something that I’ve noticed recently that’s common among Trump supporters is a proud lack of patriotism. They don’t try to dismiss the fact that Trump is not good for America, because fuck America. I don’t necessarily think that unquestioned loyalty to your country is a good thing, but they lack a commitment to a…

Tonight I had the joy of going to see a live taping of NPR’s “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me”, it was amazing. What was more amazing, was that I got to attend the VIP Cast party (HOLY SHIT I MET PETER SAGAL AND BILL CURTIS AND FAITH AND ALONZO) ahemm. Somehow, during this event, I managed to get corned by probably the only…

i think they’re equally stupid. gary johnson’s just not as outwardly mean-spirited as trump.

It’s a shame that his supporters don’t can’t read newspapers.

Don’t vote for Gary Johnson either. He may be smarter than Trump but not by a whole lot.

I heard Rachel Bloom and Aileen Brosch McKenna (the creators, writers, and in Bloom’s case the star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) on some podcast or radio show discussing diversity in television. They basically said that if you don’t specify that a character is supposed to be non-white, casting agents will just…

I was nodding along with you until I froze remembering all the racist douchebags* who freaked out about Rue from the Hunger Games being “made” black even though she was literally black the whole time, you guys. Obviously it didn’t hurt the franchise any at the box office, but those people do exist.

Also, hello, there WERE people of color in Victorian times, you numbnuts...

I find your comment confusing. LOTR was fifteen years ago, filmed in NZ. Harry Potter had poc characters. People of color existed in England even back in Downton Abbey days.

Especially for a movie whose premise is literally “children from around the world who are peculiar are gathered onto an island for their own protection”. I read the book and as far as I remember all the characters were described as white and European, but there’s zero reason that had to be the case.

“huh, this was great, except it was a little too diverse.”

It’s easy Tim, you just take a role, ANY OLD ROLE, and assign it to a person of color; bc people of color should not exist in media as droll stereotypes for middle america to laugh at while patting themselves on the back for making the bare minimum attempt to be inclusive.
