Wow, that makes so much sense! Seems like he would’ve gotten shut down more than once though... Too bad he didn’t get rejected by a Bow Tie in his youth.

I’m sure all that stuff about Stephen Miller is true, but it’s missing out on his base motivation:

Thanks for your question—you make a good point, and I should have elaborated. Good journalists write about people with disabilities the same way they write about anybody else: by writing ABOUT them. For example, “Benjatrix is 36 years old and lives with his parents. He enjoys watching TV and playing with his dog.…

Hello fellow journalist! Please don’t use this construction or similar in the future: “Joshua has the mental development of an elementary school-aged boy.”

I’ve noticed this, too. It’s just anecdotal, but it’s like some people put their toe into adulthood, don’t like it, and go back to the comfort of other people making all their decisions for them. And it always seems tied to some religious “awakening.”

We mocked the “PC Master Race” meme so much, of course 2020 had to go and make it real.

You should play Shadow of Mordor then.  That's basically the Nemesis system.

I totally get what you’re saying, and AC: Japan has been as much a “should be done, ffs!” as AC: Modern New York (or whatever).

I, and other Natives call this having to “play Indian.” We are expected to have long braids (um, some tribes used to do that, not all did), show up with fry bread (not a pre-Colombian food and I’m gluten intolerant), talk in broken English, wear moccasins, and cry when you throw your McDonald’s trash out the car window…

Right? Thandie Newton’s whole background, personality and body of dramatic work are the polar opposite of someone who’d spontaneously twerk on a table. You’d have to literally only consider skin color to cast her as such a character. (Unless Amy Pascal was hoping to get a jarringly out-of-character, Charlize-in-Monster…

“I say so much objectionable shit that it’s impossible to keep track of individual episodes.”

They like non-white especially BW to play into stereotypes. Its the very reason we rarely see black women characters outside of the “sassy black women “ that or their the angry BW. It is sickening 

The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

“I don't recall" is PR speak for "It happened."

Yeah, Thandie Newton is one of the classiest actresses I can think of- when I imagine her kitchen it’s just Grey Poupon, tea, and those little cookies they eat at tea time in England. I can’t imagine telling her she didn’t seem “educated”

Was going to say, if only we had some kind of hard evidence of her racism and dumbshittery: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/05/amy-pascal-leaving-sony-pictures-email-leak

Of course you don’t remember it, Amy, because, as the Sony leak proved, you say about a million dumbshit things a day. That’s way too many to keep track of or even be aware of the individual dumbshit content levels.

She’s like, “Well, you know, the character, as written, she’s been to university and is educated.”

“Maybe there could be a scene where you’re in a bar and she gets up on a table and starts shaking her booty.” She’s basically reeling off these stereotypes of how to be more convincing as a Black character.”

She was literally asking on message boards about kids who have disabilities that “seem hard but aren’t really.” She was someone looking to cast the reality show she’s decided to make her life and she kicked the kid to the curb because it turns out his disability was harder than she thought. She deserves any and all…
