M’eh.

Er, you know John Oliver isn’t a journalist, right? And yet, a lot of journalists aren’t and haven’t been asking these questions. Sexual harassment is “rude” and “entirely unwelcome,” yet it’s been treated as a big joke by Hollywood for decades.

Nope. Oliver brought up harassment allegations against Hoffman while they were discussing a movie centered around harassment allegations. It’s literally the perfect time to ask Hoffman about them.

Every time I see or hear someone use “females” in that way, all I can think of are Ferengi.

Eh... if you carry Nazi paraphernalia, shout Nazi slogans, espouse Nazi philosophy and call yourselves Nazis, I think it’s safe for someone to refer to you as a Nazi.

Okay, let’s do this because you don’t seem to understand the difference.

Again, it’s not about being “woke”. I never claimed rape etc shouldn’t exist in those universes. It’s about not sensationalizing it over and over and over again because “we make gritty realistic shows here at HBO.”

There’s a nice, wide continuum between “completely unrealistic super progressive societies” and “let’s show as much rape and female torture as we possibly can to get those viewing numbers up, guys!”

Obviously not? The difference is that GoT and Westworld are fictional universes where ‘social’ rules may be rewritten, whereas the entire conceit of The Deuce is historical accuracy.

IMO The Deuce and other “seedy historicals” have more of a leg to stand on, because the fact is there was (and continues to be) a lot of female misogyny, and violence committed against women. You simply can’t have a story about pimps and prostitutes in 70s New York without at some point showing how deadly dangerous it…

If people don’t want to know why dwarf attacks are on the rise it’s their fault.

Assuming equal quality in posts before and after kinja, I’m feeling like I get a lot less likes than I used to which means bad? I’m seeing a lot less regulars too, so either everyone has changed their name or the population is dropping.

Feeble nerd cred? Are you not familiar with the 1995 classic, The Net?

I assumed when I watched the finale that the sisters had always been playing Littlefinger, that Sansa was leading him along in order to get him in the perfect position to expose him in front of the Knights of the Vale so she could deal with him and keep their support.

If you’re going to work backwards from the conclusion you want like these writers clearly did, you have to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why the characters would do what they do, and this... really isn’t. It actually just makes it worse. I assumed when I watched the finale that the sisters had always…

I am so angry right now. So, you may or not may know I live in Philly. On Philly.com, I can still be Zod, instead of having to wear the heavy crown of President on KinjaClub.

Stories like this really make me miss congeniality.

To be fair, he also serves as a reminder of why I stopped dating potheads.

Fine, but it doesn’t really explain why Arya would suddenly feel all murdery with her sister, and start talking about taking her place to wear her pretty dresses—something she explicitly has been shown not to care about.
