She'd be just as wrong if she was a dude. I actually assumed she *was* a guy at first, since I thought "no woman would apply a feminist critique this egregiously badly", but no, she did.

…but it was funny.

Ha! But seriously, that review was garbage.

Here's what's wrong with what you're saying:

Thanks for the non-specific generalization, dead souls, but your opinion is still not valid.

Well, the option you're going for seems to be throwing a big coat of "white men are THE WORST" paint over everything you don't immediately agree with. That criticism has basically no bearing on the show in general or this episode, but it's pretty easy to know what's true if you just assume you're always right about…

I actually don't care if reviewers are "objective", but the hypocrisy in this one is pretty laughable.

This is like when Republicans say they know more about the news because they only watch Fox News. It's not better informed, it's differently informed. And hey, remember Kony 2012? It's really not always better.

Yeah, you don't sound like the ideal audience for this show.

…and yet, their headline at this moment is "Will the Swiss Keep Cooking Their Cats?"

Don't insult Sorkin like that.

Just wow. This review is like a capsule of everything that annoys me about criticism of this show. There's the nearly-veiled accusation of misogyny, which is pretty much nonsense in the context of this episode, the blatant sour grapes of an inferior writer criticizing a master, and the knee-jerk identity politics…

I am really and truly bugged by this controversy, in spite of myself. I don't understand why it's not ok for comic book fans who want to look at sexy superheroines to look at sexy superheroines. It's kind of geeky, but so what? Why is objectifying women ok in basically every aspect of society except comic books? …

I mean…first of all, Aerith/Aeris' death was pretty sad. It made me upset at the time. But it was not a big "holy crap" moment for me because, like all good RPG geeks at the time, I had played both Chrono Trigger and FF6, and unlike most, FF5, which kills a main character irrevocably halfway through as well. In…

We did! It was Donna. It seems unlikely that a series like Doctor Who would ever deliberately forego sexual tension for long, though. At least, not without a more physically frail Doctor.

::sigh:: the complaints about Moffat's refusal to write women who aren't generic flirty idiots is so transparently false I don't know what to do with them. It's true that River, Amy, and Clara are all flirty, but they don't seem very much alike. Meanwhile, the other female characters Moffat has written are pretty…

It's so sad that Aaron Sorkin writes shows with ideas and his ideas don't agree with the Internet's about everything. I'm glad he finally apologized for that.

What about the argument that by choosing to use twitter technology to start what amounts to a digital mob yelling at Colbert about something he didn't do wrong, Suey Park invited exactly the kind of negative attention she's getting (also the accolades she's getting). Live by the sword, die by the sword. I think she…

Do you think Salon is sincere in its editorial mandate or have they just figured out that a combination of self-righteous identity-politics piranhas combined with people hate-reading the articles and unable to not comment is too lucrative a market share to stop exploiting with their nonsense?

I don't think it's a female thing. I think he only has like 4 voices for anybody. As one of my friends put it - "everyone in Ultimate Spider Man talks like a Jewish grandmother" - but he's good at *characterization*, so even if everybody kind of sounds alike, the behavior of Emma, Magneto, Cyclops, etc. still seems…
