And you have a very impressive talent for false equivalencies! It's almost unfair that one person could be blessed with so much.

French-Canadian.

I mean, the implications are different than if he'd cast someone who was more visibly a person of color, but if she identifies as one then she counts. (I have no idea if she identifies as one.)

Somebody below noted that Noel Wells is actually Hispanic and Tunisian; she just doesn't look like what we expect a Hispanic/Tunisian woman to look like.

Gjoni definitely either posted the link to 4chan himself or he gave it to somebody who did. He created a new blog to post his story on, and search engines don't index stuff for a few days or even weeks after they're created (and even then, it would be at the tail end of results until it'd gotten a bunch of hits).…

Or, you know, have a fuck-ton of money in an industry where that's all that really matters.

Here's the thing: assuming Gjoni's story is true, Quinn was emotionally abusive and manipulative to him in the context of their personal relationship. That's fucked-up, but it's something that happens in a not-insignificant percentage of 20somethings' relationships. Young people are dumb and bad at relationships until…

The most hilarious part of that Jezebel article is that it mentions that he took a two-year vow of celibacy leading up to his marriage because he was getting so weird about sex.

The ironic part is that—as Brianna Wu pointed out—neither she nor Zoe Quinn would have any kind of serious voice or platform if it weren't for Gamergate, and now they're some of the most famous game developers in the fucking world. It sucks so bad that they've had to go through the things that they have, but it's…

Haha seriously, it's not even in wide release in the U.S. yet, and it's still almost made its budget back.

Apparently Gamergate-baiting posts are going to be a new Saturday night tradition here at the A.V. Club.

My feelings are pretty similar, but if he'd taken the plea deal from the beginning, he would have been eligible for parole now or in a couple years anyway. This won't drastically change the sentence he should have had even if he is guilty and had admitted it.

I feel like I come across at least one person who's screaming about "show me the statistics" on this subject a week, and I got sick of looking them up every single week, so I compiled them into a Word file so I can copy/paste rather than wasting my life on this bullshit. Here's a list of the highest-paid actors and…

Haha, that was my exact reaction too.

I'm just going to picture him as Cory Booker from now on out, because it makes these threads much more interesting.

Both flopped domestically, but they made an acceptable enough amount overseas that it probably worked out in the end, even accounting for studios not making as much off of overseas audiences.

Historically, yes, but over the last ten or fifteen years the blockbusters' budgets have risen so quickly that even the historical safe bets (Will Smith, Brad Pitt, etc.) can no longer guarantee pulling in enough that they'll make you money.

He freed Hemings and a few others, but most of them had to be sold to pay the insane debts he'd accumulated working on his passion projects. So . . . worse.

Yeah, one of the things I only realized upon reading the Chernow biography of Hamilton is how much the Founding Fathers' views on slavery have been oversimplified for us now. Like . . . I legitimately just thought that Jefferson was totally down with slavery and, say, Franklin was not, and that was it. Whereas from…
