True, but Puppycat will never be as cute as BMO!

Looks like Allegri is a fan of Revolutionary Girl Utena. And you should be too!

As good as AT is, it just can't be for everybody, and that's cool. I love Gravity Falls, it's hard to choose between the two shows (here's hoping Disney doesn't make us wait a month between each episode next year, though).

Cow and Chicken is pure garbage, though. Awful animation, and disgusting humor. I can't…

Adventure Time is definitely a show for children. It's about childhood and about growing up and I think has some really great morals for kids. But adults like me love it too because it's funny as hell and has very creative animation, and the stuff aimed at kids is a real nostalgia trip for us. If you're just…

Age demographics is just a matter of marketing, and I'll be godddamned if I let marketing tell me what to watch.

Well, except for his racist poems, which were VERY direct, hahaha.

Precisely. Everyone might have been racist back then, but few dedicated their hatred in poetry like he did.

I'm fond of New Hampshire, myself, actually. Check out the song "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" by the Mountain Goats sometime. It's a great rock song and it sort of gets into old H.P.'s head.

It annoys me a little, as I'm a big hat lover and I own a fedora or two. Buuuut every single store in my local mall sells fedoras and trilbies, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's not just the douchebags wearing them.

Actually, from what I've always heard he was such a big racist that even the people of the time were like "dude, chill out." I've also heard the interesting point that his intense paranoia of all things white and New Hampshire probably contributed to how gosh-darn scary his work is.

I'm a man and I don't feel belittled by any of this. Heck, this joke is more lightly teasing feminists than making fun of men. I think if you feel belittled by feminist jokes, the problem is probably with you.

I agree, though it seems you're assuming all feminists have to be women. I'm pretty sure the way to get men to join a "profeminist, anti-man-child/nice-guy project" is simply to educated them more about feminism. Most men's (and a seriously depressing number of women's, at least the ones here in the South where I…

An eye for an eye makes everyone blind.

Well, I do think she's making a feminist point, because anything that promotes equality of the sexes is feminism. And because that is such a broad scope, there are many different, sometimes opposing, feminist ideologies.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that :/ Unfortunately most men are ignorant of feminism or only know of…

I think you make an excellent point, but I think you could easily be in danger of oversimplifying as well. I doubt she's unaware of the origins of her costumes, as I imagine she probably had to do a good bit of research to make it so accurate. I also don't think she's defending the costume itself, she's defending…

While I don't agree with Eridani's point, she does not have to "prove that most geek costumes were designed by men." The original designer of the Star Trek TOS costumes specifically said that his first priority was showing off the physical beauty of the women in the costumes.

EDIT: Actually, I apologize, I looked up…

You have a point about the problematic nature of the situation, but saying "she shouldn't use the aspects of feminism that back up her argument and ignore the rest" is a bit ridiculous. Feminism is a blanket term for a whooole lot of ideas, many of which contradict each other. For example, some feminists think…

I don't think it sends a mixed message at all. I hope Ms. Finke corrects me if I'm wrong, but I'm certain the message is "A woman should be allowed to wear any outfit she wants, for whatever reason she wants, without fear of scorn."

And I will admit that I am a man, and that I do find the Star Trek outfit kinda sexy,…

I never really understand the "Oh, you were hot in high school, you can't understand the rest of us" argument. Everyone was awkward looking in high school. Have these people even seen teenagers? Some of the sexiest men and women I know have shown me their high school photos and they look laughably ridiculous (as…

It's true. People who complain about those they think are getting laid more often than they are are grossly overestimating the happiness sex brings. Sex is great with someone you find attractive and share mutual respect with, but the ability to get laid does not automatically mean happiness. More often it just…

The fact of the matter is, there's nothing more charismatic and attractive than passion. When you can tell someone isn't just putting all of their personality into getting laid, but actually has interests and insights and passions, that's more attractive than anything. I'm a pretty homely looking guy and despite…
