No, that was entirely on the rabid and very fundamentalist and irrational Tumblr feminists who kept badgering him for being a raging, woman-hating misogynist over the "sexist" depiction of Black Widow which, at worst, had some unintentionally unfortunate sexist implications.

Whedon is hit or miss. When he gets it right, it's uniquely great, but when he doesn't quite nail it, it's just kind of odd.

I've been rewatching the series sporadically on Netflix, and I just watched Out of Gas last night.

I thought The Division Bell was damn good. It was more heartfelt and less ~edgy~ and cynical than a lot of classic Floyd, and I liked that. There's a kind of maturity to it, as opposed to their earlier stuff, which feels very full of teenage cynicism and angst.

I've been rewatching it on Netflix, and quite a bit of it is pretty 'meh.' But what it gets right, it really gets right.

OK, that makes sense. That's an interesting angle, although ultimately it still sends the same message as what it's parodying: conform.

Next they'll be telling us the population of Springfield all have underbites because of inbreeding/nuclear waste poisoning.

Same deal with Krillin, then? What was originally just a bit of artistic license in character design become acknowledged as an actual reality for the character.

None of the characters here are actually contributing to unrealistic body standards.

I mean, "Lemonade" is important, and Bernie bros do need to realize that they're a bit out of touch with the reality of being black in America, but …

Jezebel latches on to an ostensibly righteous ideology in the hope that it will make them righteous. Gawker adopts a progressive stance because "progressive" is what seems to be universally popular these days. At least that's my impression.

It's like someone noticed the validity of complaints about Barbie's unrealistic body and the unrealistic beauty standards it inspires, and then try to apply that criticism where it had absolutely no applicability.

Salon and Slate (I think; I've never read Slate as much as Salon) are both pretty great, and *generally* avoid the kind of hyperbole and self-righteous hysteria that it's so easy to fall into with an approach like theirs (eg, the kind of hyperbole and hysteria displayed by the nonsense featured in this article).

And see, THAT'S what makes memes funny. It's a familiar reference point from which you can make quips off of, and those quips are funny. Or something along those lines.

It's one of those things I see every time I go one Tumblr or Imgur, but I'm not quite up on what these things are, so I'm always stuck wondering what this thing is that everyone's referencing.

One of the most frightening things I've seen was when we got a very gay guy in our high school. He had a gay voice that made it very clear the second you heard him speak what his sexual orientation was.

Did you mean "vehemently ANTI-gay kid"?

Maybe everyone else here is too old to remember this gem, but sometime in the mid-90s McDonald's released a cassette that came with your Happy Meal with wacky "kid songs" featuring Ronald McDonald.

I dunno, it's pretty obviously meant to be two Hieronymus Bosch figures. A bit of an odd choice and very odd-looking, but when you said "even goofier cover," I was expecting something like the infamous "Legolas-with-a-mullet/Gimli Harlequin romance-looking Two Towers cover."

7 really should have been split into two books, in my opinion.
