Well, why is that mother malnourished? Could “protecting, promoting, and supporting” breastfeeding include improving her health? If she’s malnourished because she’s incredibly poor, how is she paying for formula.  If she’s in an impoverished area (especially outside the US, but let’s not exclude Flint, Michigan…

How much more do we need to know she’s a monster? We have her slicing rhe photo out of her daughter in the flashback. We know she’s a voodoo witch with a filing cabinet full of blood compacts. We’ve seen the tombs full of her soulless zombified customers. What more do you want?

Let’s not bury the lede here.

It’s always a holiday on AV Club since the Kinja switchover.

Why would trans actors portraying non-trans characters be acceptable if the opposite is being presented as insensitive? 

If you make a movie about a blind man, or an albino, do you automatically cast people who are those things? No, you just find someone who looks the part and can act like a member of that group. Good luck getting a movie like this made with a lead no one has ever heard of. War movies will hire a vet as a lead actor if…

With all respect, I think Johansson’s flippancy is directed more at the exploitative, insincere press reaction. Click-bait is their real motivation not justice.

Perhaps Ms Johansson isn’t “fighting” for any “hill”. Perhaps she’s seen one too many people do the I’m-so-sorry dance for doing nothing wrong, and get kicked in the teeth, anyway. The studios and the casting agents deserve a round of boos for this. Johansson took a job. I don’t particularly like the way she handled th…

Every other movie she has been in when she was obviously playing herself.....I assume.

In conclusion, the left is a land of contrasts.

I filled my home’s walls with rich white women, and let me tell you, this winter it’s nevee been cosier.

Gill was trans from everything I’ve been able to read up on. There’s not a lot out their aside from their impressively convoluted criminal record and interaction with organized crime. Contemporaries all use “she” or “lesbian” but it was the late 70’s. Some acknowledge that Gill’s preference was “he”. I don’t think…

Are we supposed to only stick up for people who may fuck us?

Blackface has a certain racist connotation. Ben Kingsley played Gandhi. I have no problem with that.

Maybe the millennial left should stop being cultural police on twitter and start donating time and money to democratic candidates.

Blackface is an exaggerated caricature. A trans man with no hormone therapy or surgery and a cis woman in men’s clothing look identical. 

Sometimes actors pretend to be things they’re not. It’s called acting.

“I’d like to solve, Pat.”

Meh, 2500 isn’t THAT small of a sample size. For a population of the US, ~325 mil, to achieve a 95% CI with a margin of error of 3%, all you need is 1068 respondents. To get down to 2% margins, you need 2401. It’s only teeny-tiny if you’re innumerate, which sadly a majority of the country seems to be. (Oh, the irony…

Holy fuck, I don’t know what restaurant they’re at, but those are definitely taco holders on his plate.
