My take as well. I can respect an individual’s preferences without forcing terminology onto an entire cohort of people who neither asked for it nor want it. Honestly the fact that people are trying to force Latinx into the vernacular comes off as a solution in search of a problem, not to mention highly ironic that…

All the todos/todas/todex/todxs stuff is essentially a left-wing virtue signal used by the most annoying of the militant-yet-sentimental college student activist set. It’s more-or-less completely foreign to Spanish, and while it aims at a certain kind of “fairness,” it used to be that only non-Spanish speakers who coul…

It’s a weird double standard. Ezra Miller gets to choose his pronouns, but the same people who are militant about pronouns are also militant about only calling me “they” when they reference my ethnicity. I’m fine with calling someone Latinx if they state that as their preference, just as I’m fine with calling…

Polling shows that something like 2% of the Hispanic (the preferred term, according to the same polls) use Latinx, and many find it insulting since they don’t really appreciate being instructed how to speak of themselves.

Absolutely nothing wrong with they/them pronouns, but just on a grammatical level writers really do need to slot in more proper nouns when referring to nonbinary folks. I get why they don’t, as it goes against “good writing” standards, but it’s necessary to preserve clarity.

Do you even realize that you have misidentified the concern? It’s not about gendered pronouns, but about singular vs. plural/ambiguous pronouns.

The community really needs to decide on a good singular non-binary term.  I never had any confusion around they/them before this Miller stuff kicked off, and I imagine any police reports will use something along the lines of “Party 1" or “Individual A,” but this is really confusing.  Especially last week when it was…

I’m sorry but the use of ‘they’, ‘them’ and ‘their’ while referring to Ezra Miller in an article where other parties are involved is getting frustratingly out of hand. Can’t you just say Ezra Miller, Ezra Miller’s, Miller or Miller’s?

I really don’t get the cheerleading of Netflix’ potential demise that I see all over the internet. Netflix has given me so much great stuff over the years: Stranger Things, the two Haunting series, Castlevania, The Witcher, Black Mirror, Altered Carbon, Umbrella Academy, The Dark Crystal, Midnight Mass, Squid Game,…

If the current price I’m paying becomes the ad model, I’m out for good.

I like Rogue One specifically because all the characters don’t get much of a backstory, they were “forgotten” heroes of the Rebellion who did a crucial thing, and then all died. Too many times Star Wars doesn’t just let a character’s story end. I would’ve had Ezra die too in Rebels. 

The only person who stays permanently dead.

So this is the second time Obi-Wan bested Anakin in a duel and simply left him wounded on the battlefield to the torment and suffering of countless systems to come as a result of Kenobi’s mercy.

When Qui-Gon said he had always been there, you could tell Obi-Wan was thinking about how many times he’d jerked off in that cave.

I get that she’s hurt. But we’re seriously just skipping past how she pulled her guts together enough to get to Tatooine DAYS ahead of Kenobi?

I think these things hit on my big issue with the kind of stupid this show was. I can handle when things need to be stupid to move things along, and here it certainly was that, but it often felt unnecessarily stupid. Like you only need to do a couple of changes to reduce the level of stupidity, but the show didn’t.…

There were just stupid moments throughout the series. When Kenobi and Leia are running through the hallway in the underwater base and Kenobi shouts, “Hide!” to Leia... It’s a hallway. There is nowhere to hide. When Vader and Kenobi first fight and Vader drags Kenobi into the fire and Tala... shoots a stormtrooper and…

I don’t really know with this show. For me, ultimately the larger character arc did sell on why it was necessary. This was that bridge between who Obi-Wan was at the end of the prequels and who he was at the start of the New Hope while giving his story with Vader a sense of closure even if it would come ahead in the…

So nobody else was momentarily baffled that Reva just shows up on Tatooine walking and talking like she didn’t get run through with a lightsaber last week? And this is in the same span of time where the Path ship is still trying to escape Vader’s destroyer? I thought I’d missed an episode.

Damn, you must be a real asshole.
