Well, I'd say that the level of satire they discuss is pretty shitty. It's satire by ad hominem. It's the same reason I get annoyed when satires of Donald Trump just make fun of his speech patterns, tiny hands, and ridiculous hair. Good satire should be about the content of the opinion, not just the person giving

Michael B Jordan's character is quite a bit more than just an "anti-Panther" figure.

I think it generally is. While there are instances of "white outrage" at things that don't concern white people, most of these things are "group asks not to be called that any more"

Well, there you go. Certain words just have histories to them. I'm sure your native language, whatever it is, has plenty that I wouldn't know about.

No, I think there is a difference between an adjective and a noun in these things. There's a difference between "he was crippled in an accident" and "he's a cripple". The latter is just kind of reductive. Like saying that someone is fat vs saying they're "a fatty". It's subtle but I think there's a distinction.

You're all good.

I've never seen anyone upset about "crippled". I think it's kind of shitty to call someone a cripple, though.

I never remotely advocated for that. I'm totally down with protesting it, and I'll criticize anyone who thought it was a good idea to bring the speaker in, but I never suggested anything you're saying.

Yeah, I think it depends on what exactly it means. Does it mean they won't go after Trump specifically, or that they are going to shy away from satirizing the values he espouses? If they do the former, I get it. If they do the latter though…I think that's pretty cowardly.

So show me an example. I mean, if I am opposed to say…Alex Jones speaking at my college…does that make me anti-reasoning? Or am I opposed to giving a platform to a man who uses literally no reasoning whatsoever? Is it "anti-reasoning" to not want to give a Holocaust denier a platform?

Can you provide some instances of words that are offensive that you don't think should be?

I think there's a pretty big difference between spending an entire season on them and touching on it occasionally. Remains to be seen what this moratorium on Trump means for the show.

Do you have ANY examples of anti-science/reasoning safe spaces? At all? Because that sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.

Actually, I do. As her article largely targets individual extremes and not the broader sense of the idea. I'm not that far out of college, graduated a year ago. Most "safe space" meetings are just communities of people trying to get away from something for a bit. While extreme people who advocate for turning the

I don't see what is so awful about safe spaces. They're perfectly reasonable. It's just a place you can go to where you don't have to worry about X. And X can be just about anything. We all have plenty of "safe spaces" in our lives, but that's a lot harder on a college campus because you're always surrounded by

I've only watched the show sporadically over the years, was never a big fan, but…quite a few to my knowledge.

I'd think that's fair if they hadn't spent the last 20 years ragging on everyone in any political office ever.

To an extent. But "it takes a village" and all that.

Okay, please tell me. What could his yacht story have implied that was remotely appropriate for this crowd?

Thor I think is questionable, in that the only people who disliked him at first (his father and his brother) never really come around. He's pretty close though, I'll give you that. Ant-Man and Captain America were just good guys, hardly "brash, smarmy, cocky jackasses". And Ant-Man was kind of pulled in while
