Shit, sorry, you mustn't have read the post right next to this one. You're not meant to talk about this because then you're the REAL sexist who is denying Margot Robbie's agency ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It must be nice living in a world where there's a completely level playing field in the way men's and women's bodies are depicted on screen, power structures aren't real, and context can be glibly discounted.

Interesting that the role required the outfit Harley hasn't actually worn in any other incarnation, and which came after other outfits, including one that was closely modeled on Harley's B:TAS outfit, were tested and discarded.

Not take the role, but wear an outfit she's been vocal about feeling uncomfortable wearing, sure. It's almost like the issue is slightly more complex than you're giving it credit for and you're not really engaging with the criticisms offered in a For Your Consideration that obviously stuck in your craw pretty badly.

Such a shame it bombed so badly, or that the expectations for a small, horribly violent, blackly comic Punisher movie were so high. I'm glad it's found a vocal contingent of supporters online, but it really sucks that it tanked Lexi's career (she follows me on twitter so I feel like we're on a first name basis, lol)

You sound like you need a safe space.

Yes. Harlequin. Had that honestly not occurred to you? Because it's okay - I only figured out that Flo Rida was a play on Florida when a friend pointed it out like three weeks ago.

I mean, Timm loves him some cheesecake but you've gotta admit Harley's original design is a far cry from like a thong, fishnets, and a babydoll tee.

I'd honestly rather the people in charge of the DC movie franchise just stay the fuck away from anything to do with B:TAS or the DCAU in general.

Uh, well, I'm no economist or political scientist, but meaningful structural reform would probably help in both cases.

Yeah, I went in a a little strong with "incredibly wide margin." I totally agree on Heaven Sent though.

I am but His humble servant.

I didn't want to come right out and say it, but that would be fantastic, and thank you for picking up the implication. DM me any time you're thinking of posting and I'll let you know whether it's worth doing (hint: it almost definitely won't be).

In my very humble opinion, which I would not dream of insisting is a universal truth, the very best nuWho story by an incredibly wide margin was written by Steven Moffat and starred Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, and John Barrowman.

What was Fury Road derivative of? I'm not being an asshole, I'm genuinely curious.

Would you say you are not, in fact, mad and that this is actually funny to you? Further, would you say that it is clearly me who is mad? Because that would be an absolutely devastating tactic, the like of which I have never seen online.

Yeah, I kind of sidetracked myself with a different argument in that edit. In addition to the perceived need for a balanced narrative, there's also quite simply a sexist double standard at play that Biden or Kaine wouldn't suffer from.

Yeah, I'm just going to repeat myself: you don't have to read the comments on these articles. Go outside and get some fresh air, grab a beer, jerk off, whatever. There are lots of options, really, and they're all better than obsessively reading comments that clearly upset you to a wildly dispropportionate degree.

Because they would get given a pass on a lot of policy issues, their voting record, and potential personal shadiness that Clinton gets absolutely raked over the coles for, even by the "liberal" media.

You know what? I'll always have the DCAU, so I guess I'm just happy for Milo Yiannopoulos stans with anime avatars that there's a shared superhero universe they can really call their own. At least for the four to five hours at takes to watch one of these things, someone out there isn't doxxing women or whining about
