I thought we’d actually gotten past this using rape as a descriptor thing. Unless it’s actual rape, no you don’t get to use rape as a descriptor.

I agree this gay went too far, and is a ridiculous asshole... but camera lenses feel “male gazey” and “rapey”? To a woman who has done “scandalous” photoshoots for many magazines and being on camera is literally her livelihood? No thanks, for the rape pseudo-comparison.

“the fact is, since Lemonade dropped, 99% of the conversation has been about Bey and“Becky”

You didn’t miss anything. I hate that I’m putting my black folks’ business on the street like this, but white girls are stereotyped to give head more than black women. So the term Becky also became interchangeable with head (the same way referring to Monica Lewinsky is shorthand for head).

so many racist, xenophobic, sexist, Islamophobic assholes like Trump?

It’s not about money. I mean it is, but it’s not supposed to be. It’s all about education. Or it’s supposed to be. The purported reason to have sports on college campuses is because they are part of the educational experience either directly for the student athlete or to enhance the experience of other students.

You just did it. You assumed that men’s football is completely untouchable as some sort of law of nature and that schools have no choice but to keep it at the present size and gut all the other sports. And that’s just not true. At all. Schools. Have. Choices. They CHOSE not to touch football. A conscious, financial…

The problem is the football is a revenue generating sport, and very profitable at most division 1 schools. So schools aren’t going to cut it’s budget, so they have to take it out of the mens sports that barely generate revenues. When I wrestled at a Divisions II school, the woman softball and volleyball teams each had…

As the old saying goes (I'm not sure it's actually an old saying but it should be): If all you've known is privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Wait, it’s a “myth” that Title IX has had a negative impact on college wrestling?

“Robert E. Lee” came in second.

It’s the case in all GITS material, the international politics of the story don’t make as much sense when Japan is not the setting.

I have doubts about that Asian setting that ain’t in Japan. When the 1st few pages of the manga said “Japan” “Shinhama Prefecture”

That’s a cop out. She’s still Japanese. GiTS: SAC takes place in Japan. Kusanagi’s parents were Japanese. She was raised by Japanese. She speaks Japanese. She works for the Japanese government. Her entire taskforce is Japanese. Throughout the series, Section 9 occasionally finds itself at odds with officials from the…

The Japanese are used to seeing anime characters as Japanese because they’re more used to seeing anime depict everyone as having lighter colored skin. It’s not just America though, Western countries in general tend to see many anime characters are being white. I remember when Gedo Senki came out and people complained…

But why would she have a Caucasian body? She’d stand out like a sore thumb in Japan.

It’s explicitly stated that she chose a generic mode which, in East Asia, would probably have stereotypically East Asian features.

Exactly! I mean, her name is clearly Japanese as well, which in Manga and Anime is the only real indicator of race.

I’m tired most of people saying this is okay since to them “Most characters in Japanese manga don’t look Japanese.” Which is stupid because the Japanese see anime characters as being Japanese. It is Americans who think they are white. Because to them white is the Default Human Being.

“Feminism believes men should be allowed to show emotion”. Is this the same feminism practiced by women who instruct genetic males to, “man up”, every time they show emotion?
