Maybe you should read your own sources.

Because Christmas trees aren’t religious. They’re literally Pagan in origin. You think there were many conifers in Bethlehem? Also, unless you’re completely out of touch with the modern understanding of a Christmas tree, you’d be able to tell that it’s lost most of its connection with Christmas and the connection…

I’ve just spent the last five minutes giggling alone in my room at the image of a chocolate-covered finger rolling down a conveyor belt. Thank you.

I’ve always thought there was a great untapped trolling market in straight white boys. I mean, if the goal is to get a reaction out of someone by questioning their worldview, who better than guys who are known for explosive anger? Even the suggestion that they sometimes have feelings other than rage and stiff-jawed…

Also, “bone broth” is just stock. Stock is made with some veggies (usually onion, carrot, and celery) chopped up really small and put in a cloth bag, bones, and water. They’re all simmered together for several hours, then you take the cloth bag and bones out. Seems dumb that they decided it needed a new name, but…

But the most symbolic and historic act has already been misrepresented. The throwing of the first brick that started the whole riot is right there in the trailer. And it’s the white gay fictional character who throws it. It’s also extremely obvious that the main characters do not include any of the trans women of…

Maybe you’ve got me confused with the original commenter that you replied to, but I never denied his identity.

So? You said yourself that the writer, director, and producer are all gay men. Shouldn’t they portray this accurately, to the best of their ability? I get that they’re not going to please everyone, but to take such a symbolic act (the throwing of the first brick) away from Marsha P. Johnson, a black trans woman who…

My guess is that they’re making Ray an amalgam for all the trans women of color. Just so they can say they didn’t leave them out.

Yes. It’s entirely possible for the cis, white gay men who produced, directed, and wrote this move to have bias towards trans people of color, specifically trans women of color. It’s entirely possible that they wanted to frame this event in a way that makes a cis white gay man seem like the hero, not only because it…

I didn’t say he wasn’t. The point of it is that the real Ray Castro wasn’t even trans. It looks like they’ve fictionalized him and made him an amalgam for all the trans women of color that were so integral to the riots. It’s fine and dandy that he’s Puerto Rican. I’m not disputing that that makes him more diverse than…

1.) There are trans actors who would gladly and more accurately portray the role.

Yeah, but he’s a cis dude playing a trans woman. He plays a trans woman on the show Penny Dreadful, too.

Yup. Also, I’m not sure why the only trans character is being played by a cis dude.

Sure, haha.

It’s not really about that, though, is it? No one here is saying that you can’t have an opinion, offer advice, or generally comment. However, if someone who has lived through the experience reacts to your comment by saying you may not have the whole picture, the best course of action is to sit down and listen. Or you…

While sexist attitudes may have been more prevalent and accepted back then, it seems that it wasn’t necessarily worse, just different. Since movies couldn’t have sex scenes, female characters had to be given more dynamic roles than just “hot girl 4” and “trophy wife.” Instead, women ended up playing roles that women…

Originally her lasso was meant to make men obey and submit, not necessarily tell the truth. Sounds like the creator had some interesting fantasies.

Right? It’s sort of like that episode of Bob’s Burgers where Tina dreams she’s flying around, kissing boys as they lay on the ground. Only it’s not kissing on my mind...

Lots of passages from 50 Shades appear to be lifted word-for-word from Twilight. Possibly because 50 Shades was originally a Twilight fanfiction.
