Just because, according to him, the only thing “wrong” was her appearance doesn’t mean he wasn’t blinded by gendered assumptions about how women “should” look. It’s entirely possible that she had anxiety issues when going on dates that made her cold and aloof, or made her want to move too quickly. Maybe she had…

I think another reason his full name might have been used here is that the “Storm” part (apart from being delightfully white-trashy) could be a reference to Stormfront, a white supremacist website.

“beggars can afford homes from the money people give them” Citation needed.

Yeah, because that $8 goes directly in their pocket. Have you ever worked anywhere in your life before? The people who clean up after you make minimum wage. The only people getting rich are the corporations that own the movie theaters and the candy companies. You might think you’re sticking it to the man by leaving…

Right? It’s so disappointing. Especially since even certain parts of the LGBT community think it’s “just a phase” or that bi people somehow have “straight passing privilege” because they’re being heteronormative and assuming someone is straight based on who they happen to be dating.

Unf, I love her. I’m so extremely attracted to her. I get weak in the knees when she gets going and really smacks down the idiots.

Interestingly, Y chromosomes aren’t necessary to make one biologically male. Lots of people are born with all kinds of chromosome configurations that aren’t covered in your high school biology class. Also, we have no idea what chromosomes she has because 1) we’d need a DNA analysis to even being to understand that and…

What we know about “biological sex” has been changing fairly rapidly lately. I’d recommend reading up on the more recent studies on the subject. One really fascinating one deals with the idea of the “phantom limb”syndrome, wherein an amputee may still feel that their amputated limb is attached to their body. In…

That’s fair. Personally, I really liked watching her overcome her anxiety and shyness (hit close to home as so much of Drag Race does) and I also thought it was brave of her to be so candid about her history of childhood abuse. I was also pretty fascinated by the way that Pearl evolved from concept art (that got Pearl…

Yeah, early on in the season, I really thought it would be Pearl, Katya, and Trixie in the top three. I wish one of them would have won. Of the top three we got, though, I really think it should have been Pearl. Violet’s beautiful and talented in many areas, but she can’t act at all. Ginger is, as you pointed out,…

The thing with Violet was that she couldn’t act to save her life. Honestly, of the top three (which is not to say that they were my top three of the season) I think Pearl was probably the most intriguing. Her personality really developed and I think she grew up a lot. Whereas Ginger was the leader of the Bitter Old…

I got it, you guys. It’s beyond fantastic.

Yeah, I heard she gets super bad stage fright still, after all these years. Maybe that could be it? At least we know she’s not lip syncing.

They don’t even stock my size. I have to search all over the internet for an affordable 34 J

It’s asexual. Straight people thought it was “ally” for a while, but that has never been the case. While allies are awesome and necessary, many within the LGBTQ community thought it functioned as a sort of “cookie” that straight people could get for supporting LGBTQ rights. No one should get a cookie for being a…

This isn’t a “general rule” kind of thing. It’s a BDSM thing. BDSM has to be founded on the consent of all involved because the things kinky people do can very easily stray into neglect, exploitation, and abuse if consent is even a little murky. That’s why this is different than, say, a gay couple holding hands in…

It’s no problem. I understand the perspective of people saying that it’s harmless fun (because that is what it looks like to me, too) but without stringent rules about consent, the things us kinky people do can very easily stray into neglect, exploitation, and abuse.

Look. Kink is fun. I do it all the time. In fact, the guy I’m seeing right now likes to wear a collar with a little bell on it and it’s cute af. But in BDSM, everything you do must be based on consent of all involved. It doesn’t matter if it’s non-sexual, it has to be consensual. People in public spaces haven’t…

First, I kind of wanted to address the idea that it might not be sexual. I’m a kinkster, and I can only speak to my own experience. But the whole idea of a “fetish” is that it’s a pretty non-sexual thing that, for whatever reason, becomes sexual for those involved in it. Even if it isn’t explicit, it’s still sexual to…

Wait, wait, wait. You’re comparing this guy, when he was a kid (even if he admitted that he knew it was wrong when he did it), molesting his sisters to some imaginary event you think Gawker covered? That’s a real sound debate you have there, buddy. But let’s just say it was true. If we take your obvious hyperbole as…
