Nah, people need to know not to support shit like this. 

Just give me a spin-off show called Herb & Co.

Thought about that actually. It’s all a matter of perception though right? We’ll never know anything about her and she was never added to the game so we’ll never know within the context of the game how she stacked up. All we have is this picture and my feeling of ‘ooh! a black lady in a Nintendo game in 1995' overrode…

Im not sure japan (not known for its progressivism) taking a world populated entirely with animal pilots only and plopping in a black person in that world as if they are interchangeable is the progressive message you think it is. They’re literally categorizing black people as they do animals.  Correct me if there is …

Did Gizmodo get rid of slideshows? Because I totally clicked on this just to complain about slideshows.

“Neither of us realized the cover would be so polarizing.”

Oh, fuck off. Dynamite’s been cozying up to Comicsgate this way for over a year, and people have been calling them out on it for just as long. They’ve been taking advantage of how lucrative the movement’s bigger-name projects can be, but that strategy finally…

“neither one of us realized the cover would be so polarizing" is their way of saying "I'm sorry you got offended". Also note that in the tweet they didn't apologize at all. Smh.

You don’t think maybe there’s a problem with a term that has serious spiritual and cultural connotations for a historically oppressed people being used flippantly by white people to describe, for example, pizza? (I’ve seen people say “pizza is my spirit animal” in case you’re going to suggest that never happens.)

Kotaku can’t win. They do their art-forward reviews with little focus on game mechanics, people complain. They focus on the mechanics and how the game is to play, people complain. The flute could be substantially less important than Ellie’s guitar, and the reviewer didn’t even comment on it negatively, but here you…

To be fair, if you’re the kind of person who takes random pills from other people’s stashes, you’re probably going to learn how to make a shiv eventually. 

Hi, since I’m seeing lots of talk about whether the headline/image are a spoiler, here’s my thinking on that: it’s only a spoiler if you look at Lev being trans as something that’s meant to be a surprise or some kind of dramatic reveal. Years upon years of trans storylines have taught us this (think: The Crying Game,…

No, its not going to solve police brutality, but I think its more meaningful than you suggest. The common practice of using white people to voice people of color in animation (while the reverse was incredibly rare) limited the work opportunities of POC and impacted the storytelling. Even assuming the makers of The…

Wait wait... what ethnicity do you think Bart and Lisa are?

I’ve read the book and agree with you. In the book the society knew how to deal with everyone. This wasn’t a story about revolution.

The fact that this author feels the trailer shows “a utopia poised to explode,” and doesn’t find anything unusual with that description of Brave New World, demonstrates that both the author and probably the people behind this TV adaptation missed the entire point of Brave New World. Spoilers for a book published in…

It's not like "I want you to cover me in your man milk" is even funny, though. 8th grade boys have a more sophisticated sense of humor. No big loss here. 

“She decided to defend her statement and even had the nerve to Google that analogy to prove why it was okay.”

lotta guys in these comments have a lot of information about fucking kids as legally as possible.

just for everyone in the back: the issue isn’t that it-might-possibly-technically not be statutory rape. the issue is that what she’s describing is regular rape, including the phrase ‘we need to break you in’ while deflowering a 17 year old.

Her story hinges on her being sexually fucking assaulted, idiot. She’s not saying her age is the thing that made it legally assault, but saying that it contributed to the power dynamic of the rape and her own processing of it. He literally said “We need to break you in.”
