How would that justify what the teacher did here? 

This is exactly the sort of thing that was going to happen with Biden and it is. And now because it’s the Dems doing it, all the bad stuff is okay.

I mean, the prudishness is ridiculous, but virgin-shaming? Really? 

This. Arguments about appropriation devolve into 'yes/no' back and forths, when it's really not so straightforward. 

It's not only people in the US. But those who feel similarly elsewhere are usually minorities because no one generally cares what some foreigner is doing a world away. 

Goes the other way too. The Japanese can be shameless about accessorizing or fetishizing other cultures. They don't get a pass for being non-white. 

Jesus fucking Christ. People are monsters. 

That show is cursed. 

What the heck. She looks like she’s about to squat and go potty or sth.

The Empire in Star Wars is clearly the villain. The Imperium is nearly always presented as the heroes, whether that's the Space Marines, the Imperial Guard or the Emperor himself. And the framing is something very common to fascist narratives: There are so many worse things out there, we HAVE to be like this to…

Yeah, the satire aspect has pretty much disappeared. It's all uber-serious now, with fans unabashedly loving the Imperium. 

Not in the least. It's all over the place. 

Wayyyyy too many 40K fans unironically love the Imperium, and think they're justified in everything they do. GW has long since abandoned the dark satire aspect and embraced the fascism of the setting as something to celebrate. 

Battleship was thoroughly eviscerated though. 

Manchin and Sinema aren’t moderates. They’re conservatives.

I'm having serious deja vu here. 

That's the point. 

Multi million dollar companies need defending, he doesn't have time to read your comments! 

Because businesses never make mistakes or hold biased assumptions that colour their calculations. It’s cold, hard optimization all the way.

Are we against Christopher Tolkien publishing the History of the Middle-Earth series now?
