“It was as predictable as a lie from Loki: Before Captain Marvel even opened, Rotten Tomatoes was getting bombarded with negative reviews from sexist dipshits trying to tank the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because the movie had the temerity to explicitly be a woman’s narrative, and star Brie Larson…

Coming up next: Banning every film that Harvey Weinstein ever produced, classifying ‘The Usual Suspects’ as a hate crime, burning every copy of every Polansky film ever, and making watching Woody Allen films a capital offence.

Reviewer is a white male. Larson made it pretty clear that his opinion isn’t needed or wanted.

And here I was thinking Issac named himself after Issac Asimov.

Hey look at that, a topical episode that managed to deal with real life issue without being preachy (other than Jake’s rapid fire “patriarchy” nonsense at the end, but that was played for laughs). There are quite a few folks who could learn a thing or two from this week’s B99.

One thing though:

“... I admit I’m still…

That would involve lambasting a woman for openly lusting over a man... and we don’t ever see that happen. Reverse the situation and it’s “instant sexism”.

Whilst that’s certain a reason, I doubt Rosa honestly cares about that. In fact I’m pretty sure that everyone who knows/is friends with Amy doesn’t mind 4-Drink Amy’s antics because they know it’s not real.

Unlike some people here it seems... (not directed at you Toss)

“Ashley Graham is a white lady. She probably enjoys avocado-flavored snacks, puppy smooches and Pat Benatar but all I know about her is that she is a white woman named Ashley. That is all she is to me.”

Yolanda Washington is a black woman. She probably enjoys fried chicken, being a single mother, and Tupac but all I…

“terrorize”

AHAHAHAHAH!

Root gonna Root! :-D

I really hope he’s a trans-queer-demi-hemi-dodecahedron-otherkin so that I can feel validated!!!

Don’t use made up words.

“bad guy who doesn’t deserve to be named on this holy Day of Presidents”

TDS in action folks...

“Four-Drink Amy making passes at Rosa was problematic AF”

Why?

“As live tweets were planned, Afro-Latinx viewers rejoiced in the representation that was coming their way.”

Did they? I mean is that actually a thing? Are there groups of people sitting around going “Yes! I feel validated as a human now that a television show has a main character that is of the same racial identity as…

“They might have made a cursory nod to the language issue.”

Scripts are only so long. If you have to dedicate a page each episode about getting over the language barrier then it would get dull and repetitive very quickly. Stargate took the same approach: Everyone speaks English, so let’s just get on with the show!

“Why…

I’ve watched the video. At no point do they harass the guy. He walks up to them.

And they were never chanting chanting ‘build the wall’.

And the Black Israelite or whatever they’re called were shouting homophobic slurs, yet it’s the kids who are the bad guys because... they’re white, I guess.

“Creepy Billy Joel song about women”.

How old are you?

“...the least it could do is not center that moment on Frank Castle murdering a bunch of young gang members, many of whom are people of color.”

Way to read way more into something than you’re meant to.

I’m confused. I’ve read this article twice and I can’t see where the author somehow blames ‘wipepo’ (or however you spell that) for Tiffany’s bad performance.

I mean, if it’s not blaming white people for everything then is it really a Root article?

More proof that words only have the power you give them...
