She has always told us who she is and has laid out her plans in great detail, and she has not deviated from her messaging since she announced. So as far as I can tell, she’s always been pretty forthright.

I will vote blue no matter who of course. But I will always hold a grudge against those who brought this woman down because she dared to tell us the truth that M4A will not be done overnight and will cost a lot in both money and massive job displacements.

This is the twitter profile in question. I don’t think they are American.

Because they aren't intellectually honest.

Lol is the author of this article seriously implying men aren’t allowed to defend themselves if they get hit by a woman?

“No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman in anger, other than in self-defense and that rarely ever occurs.”

its a power play and its (almost) always obnoxious. 

I’ve noticed a weird version of this in some online forums I'm in. Someone will post a question, and people will respond with "I don't have to do the emotional labor of answering this for you!" which is like... yeah, you can just not answer? You could completely ignore the post, but you did this instead??

On the one hand, it IS good to check in with people before you’re about to dump something on them. It feels like an ambush sometimes when someone just dumps a bunch of heavy emotional stuff when you aren’t in a position to handle it or respond. If someone just woke up or is running late, they’re not going to be in a…

The abuse of this term is simply an indicator of how selfish and narcissistic our society has become. A friend simply asking you to be a friend to them in a time of need now requires “consent agreements” and notifying everyone around you of what a burden you’re forced to carry, listening to a friend that needs a…

She not in the books so there wasn’t any narrative they were following in determining her fate. I just remembered that they also added that scene that wasn’t in the books of Joffrey abusing Ros and the other prostitute in his chambers. I guess they felt we needed yet another example that Joffrey was a sadist (in case…

Ros was a character invented for the TV show, there was no way for her to die in the books.

Lena Heady was hiding a pregnancy, that’s why she had a double. Also she’s covered in tattoos. Otherwise I mostly agree with what youre saying - though the doubles are the one accepting the work, so I would imagine theyre fine with it. 

Where does she say she was pressured to be nude on GOT? The quote suggests others pressured her on the sets of her other work, it does not suggest she was pressured for GOT.

Fortunately no. I have never heard another production team badmouth Dormer. But I’ve heard of multiple workers for the show dissing Dormer. Which, based on what I know about what happened, and putting a few things together, I think is very much the typical Hollywood “difficult” problem, because basically, Dormer…

She also had some practical advantages that Emilia did not. For one thing, Headey has a number of tattoos that would have to be removed via digital editing, makeup or concealment. Which makes it practically harder to ask for a fully-nude scene.

It was either Emilia Clarke or Esme Bianco (who played poor Ros). Bianco in particular was basically Miss Titillation in the first season or two. Just offhand, showing off her goodies was an excuse for a monologue/character establishing moment for Theon, Littlefinger and Pycelle. Jon was merely mentioned in dialogue. A…

Lena also had a lot more clout than Emilia at the beginning of the series as an experienced and established actor. Even if she weren’t pregnant, and it were the first season, she probably could’ve said ‘no’ with a lot less consequences than a young, newcomer like Emilia would have (keep in mind that Dany had been…

No shocker there. There was a blind item about a main actress on the show who balked at doing nudity after season 2 that was probably her, and HBO was kind of gross about pushing nudity back then (Neil Marshall - the director of Season 2 episode “Blackwater” - has said that he had an HBO executive constantly…
