Dude, it's true. I sometimes wonder how we ever managed to pass those laws in the first place. I think a big problem in Canada is the thinking of "oh we're Canada, we're the good guys" and meanwhile INSANE things like unpunished police brutality, exploitive international mining, and systemic racism against natives…

Canadians on a personal level aren't really different from Americans: and why would they be? While multiculturalism/race relations are a clear difference, they come from the same Western culture regarding genders, and if Canadian law was regional instead of national, I bet abortion wouldn't be legal in every province.

I went to the University of Ottawa, and I remember there being some pretty obscene chants (one about sodomizing the mascot of a rival school, one with a sarcastic pronounciation of the word "consentually"). It was awful and shocking. The year after the student government clamped down hard, said "these chants are not…

The difference is that naked male characters in Metal Gear are always in comedic sequences or as comedic bonus content (default costumes are always clothed), whereas the female characters are seriously presented during the main story in sexualized clothing. Default Snake: fatigues and sneaking suit. Default Sniper…

Finally- some solid analysis. Keep up the good fight.

Yeah but the naked guys are always comedic/alt costumes for laughs. It's not like Vamp's default costume for the storyline was a Speedo.

It's kinda annoying. Having seen his work in person I know it's quite stunning, but photographed badly without context at the top of this sarcastic article, it definitely does have "omg-gross naked people" judgement.

The harassers are at fault here- you shouldn't have to suffer because of them, it is absolutely NOT your fault. Maybe this is something to take up with a therapist, and maybe you'd consider taking some legit boxing self defence classes (with sparring drills) so you might feel like you're more in control of the public…

The mildest weather is gonna be found in Southern BC, and it has a very West-Coast culture like the American states beside it. Montreal has very harsh winters but an incredible cultural scene, the city is bilingual, it's also driving distance to NYC. Toronto is one of the most diverse major cities in the world and has…

British painting party?

Nerf Guns look significantly more realistic since my childhood.

Yeah, it's always really busy- it's strange, I thought it was such a powerful monument, but you see kids hopping along it and stuff.

As someone from a very similar ethnic background (who also doesn't speak Spanish), it's definitely annoying to get the questions alot, where people almost expect you to behave like an immigrant despite the fact you were born here. As cliche as the advice is, I think you have to just own it, and pick (or share) the…

It's funny eh? I have an obviously ethnic name, though I never learned the language or had any significant cultural connection etc etc. People seem constantly disappointed in hearing my name and then finding out that I don't speak the language. I always think "well jeeze, well I'm 50% Canadian so thats the side of the…

My dad had an interesting way of putting my mutt-ness: "you will never get kidnapped travelling anywhere."

I think I as a mutt I pass for white, and because English is my native language that definitely conveys a certain "born here" privilege. It is very cool to also reap the perks of (often perceived) belonging to…

THIS GIF THO

You just wonder how they green lighted all that. I mean they could probably have their pick of literally anyone; why did they go with Hannah Montana? Yeah ok, she's a celebrity figure, but she never had any real weight as even a legitimate pop musician, so its no surprise to see her totally flop. :/

The guy on the far right looking at the ceiling... amazing.

She's desperately trying to in her head come up with some acceptable public-venue version of "fast0forward through the sex scenes" or "cover your eyes for 2 minutes kids."
