You can make your point without using the Shoah as a rhetorical prop.

If Twilight genuinely helped you, good. It sounds like that was a truly shitty time for you, and I'm glad that you're happier and healthier now. However, that doesn't mean that the texts themselves—for this discussion, I'll limit myself to the books—don't send out some really poisonous messages to a (generally)…

I'm actually pretty pleased with how often criticism of Twilight's glorification/leather-pantsing of
-abusive behavior
-stalking
-unhealthy romantic relationships
-sexual assault
pops up in Twilight-bashing. I don't doubt that at least some of the flak Twilight has received is either caused or exacerbated by the fanbase…

I suppose that's where we differ. I don't believe that he genuinely means it, but is just being a twatwaffle for the sake of irritating people.

I'm pretty sure he's a troll. He only really shows up on articles that are in any way related to fitness/health and spews this nonsense over and over again.

YoungBlazer wants us all to get fit so we can attract handsome, successful dudes! You know, like him!

Contemporary hunter-gatherer societies (like those our "cavemen" ancestors evolved in) are usually far more egalitarian (in every respect, not just gender) than Western nation-states.

Part of the issue (I would argue, the main issue) with a published book starting out as fanfiction is the profit involved. You are allowed to write stories with another person's characters and such as long as you are not making a profit from it; that's why most fanfictions have an annotation at the beginning stating…

A lot of pharmacists will actively try to make buying EC as hard as possible, though :(

Maybe that's why so many of them are see-through?

I remember Adam Mansbach (the guy who wrote Go the Fuck to Sleep) saying that ostentatious bar mitzvahs were the end of the Jews.

Maybe, but I'd be more inclined to agree with you if the OP didn't post in another reply her reasons for saying so, most of which seem to be about how gauche they think it is. The original post didn't exactly come off as compassionate or worried.

But I don't see the problem if the people having the intimate moment don't want to keep it private. It's not obscene, offensive, or graphic...well, most people's proposals aren't. It might be gauche, but you don't have to watch it and in my experience you usually have to go looking for this kind of thing.

I consider…

I don't really see much of a difference between this and putting a birth announcement in the paper.

You know, I think that stratagem is in The Art of War...

Are you aware that Ireland had serious problems with terrorism for several years?

Yeah. They're being ridiculous.

Let me get this straight:
1. None of your guests were on their actual property.
2. They still had plenty of space to park.
3. Their driveway was not blocked.

Is that correct? I'm failing to see an actual problem here.

Generally, I feel that if you have to ask if it's intrusive, it's intrusive.

I want there to be a team called the X Honey Badgers. I'd support the shit out of that team.
