I'm a RABID Don't Trust the B fan and I think one of the main reasons is the awful branding. The cast was great, the episodes were fantastic mostly but the terrible name and terrible promos (similar to Selfie) really made it a hard sell and it is a awful idea, nevermind liberty of free speech and all to put "bitch"…

Original ending ended with a kiss - the test audience did not like that, so it was changed. :(

I give Fresh Off the Boat a pass on the asian accent - a) the asian immigrant parent accent is wide and varied depending on where you came from and where exactly you ended up so there is no one "true" accent and b) nobody is a first generation immigrant (which his parents were) with English as a second language with a…

More crazily enough - Lorde actually provided the music for that episode. I'm pretty sure this edgier equivalent to getting spoofed on the Simpsons, and at any age, I would be pretty stoked if my work in my field made me vaguely pop culture famous at any level to see a tiny, caricature of me on a pretty sweet series.…

This. It is also a noted fact that one of the few "benefits" of patriarchal society means that juries tend to favor women and give lighter sentences, particularly when motherhood is involved because we still tend to view motherhood as a vital life sacrifice and far more dear to a child's wellbeing than fatherhood,…

It is fucking awful - but to be fair it's just trying to make a profit based on a very small supply and demand. NZ as a population is about 4.5 million, and 1.5 of that population is concentrated in one city (Auckland, where I'm from) and that's your main base for large sales basically and big department stores but…

I mastered "negging" as a 6-year-old, which is the only time I believe it is socially acceptable and a workable tactic. I kicked my crush, in the balls and laughed loudly. We spent a year attempting to hurt each other in our respective friend group gangs - it was some mad love shit. I also loudly proclaimed my…

Kind of - Most make-up, skin-care second hand resellers are left in the original packaging and depending on where you are, it could be really hard to get a certain brand or have the same consistency in a brand you like (certain regions actually differ in their production methods). When I was in NZ - Maybelline direct…

I also think part of it is that Feminism, as many complicated movements is very fractured and there are varying opinions and ideas, yet it is treated as this monolith socially. This kind of where it gets complicated because while most people basically agree on the fundamental truth that women should deserve the same…

But his joke (atleast from the excerpt posted in the article) references him becoming sexually aroused and climaxing at her beating him. It at no point mentions intercourse and it's assumed he cums after she leaves so I am not seeing the rape.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I have heard a lot of people make jokes about celebrities in this way - and the number of times I have made Matt Bomer "Boner" jokes is numerous. But also agree that this joke was poorly thought out and inappropriate given that the people did not really know each other.

Yo - um, genuine confusion. The way I read it, the joke was set up with him (a white male) talking about a master/slave racially focused fantasy with a black woman but the punchline is the subversion of the white domination aspect as he supposedly gets off on her fighting back, beating him and winning (running away).…

As far as I'm reading it (and I'm basing it on the excerpt in the article above) the joke is that he's bring up a racially charged master/slave role play....but the punchline is that "his fetish" is having the slave beat the shit out of him and runaway which subverts public expectation which assumes a white guy with a…

Haha yes, unfortunately the ladies themselves kind of stick OUT but - BUT they have some mad hair /fashion options that work on regular LEGO ladies who sadly don't get a lot of fun options that are official and not custom.

Maybe I'm reading the joke wrong but from the excerpt Jezebel posted, isn't the joke that he's bringing up "slave/master" role play, but the punchline is that his kink is having her beat the shit out of him and run away (her overpowering him) and thus subverting your expectation of what you might assume a white guy…

50 shades is pretty non-con, or atleast severely grey area in many segments but I think this is about perception. If the women reading 50 shades do not feel like it is a non-con fantasy (which is problematic), I don't think statistically they would feature in that percentage.

This. Also, sexist presumption that if the renter allows people to stay over that women will bring home partners less. Other "living on the same property" scenarios like my parents used to run when I was a kid look for the "single woman" tenants because of proximity to children which is yes, unfair but widely…

Completely, it's kind of just the like "I'll be busy never leaving my house again thanks." in response to a statistic of people being mature enough to indicate and acknowledge a sexual fantasy that really rubbed me the wrong way. It smacks a lot of the same response people have when finding out there is a fetish…

I am also surprised to see how well marketed LEGO friends are and how diverse the activities and characters are. I would argue that Lego Friends is actually more gender-inclusive in activity than "gendered" because it is adding "female-associated" elements that have not been previously marketed heavily such as…

This attitude is harmful, and fucking gross and is so insidiously prevalent that it disappoints me greatly as a kinkster who switches, but dabbles heavily in psychological play in both cases. There is a huge difference between thinking something is hot in a limited scenario, and realizing it in a select scene with a…
