I had a quick look back over her tweets, and also that letter she wrote after all the TRAs dogpiled her. She didn’t say anything particularly bad. Against that, the fact she donated about $200 million to charity when she didn’t have to make her look pretty good.

My point is simply that people are more then just the sum of their tweets.

“arrested after police were called to the school on May 7 and charged with ridicule on account of creed, religion, color, denomination, nationality or race”

She doesn’t care about money. She was literally a billionaire but she gave so much away to charity that she isn’t one anymore. You have nothing to threaten her with. I reckon that upsets you even more than the stuff she said.

A prequal based on the Marauders?  Giant pass, thanks.  The last thing I want to see is JK pen some clumsy romance where she tries to paint Snape as some sympathetic love interest for Lily Evans.  The smartest thing Lily ever did was cut him out of her life, and I don’t want to have to sit through Nice Guy Snape…

Honest question here, how much of the absolutely necessary and justified outrage over JK Rowlings trans stance has bled over into the general public... aka the people that don’t spend every waking moment on the internet.

People have different views in life. Some we find reprehensible. I’m at my outrage limit though. Been a fan on HP since i was a kid. I was 11 when the first book came out. Been to the studio tour in london, the theme park in florida, and the history of magic exhibit in New York. Saw Cursed Child on broadway, and Puffs…

New York has a big permanent Times Square store devoted to M&M candy. I’m unclear on why the writer of this article finds a “permanent gimmick like this in New York City” for Harry Potter at all weird.

Time for Laverne’s agent to start putting a clause about VA approval in all her contracts. Cause this is just fucking wrong, all of Europe is trash right now regarding transrights. Hell, some places -like TERFisland, England- are worse than motherfucking Mississippi.

And he worked regularly.

One of my favourite scenes from Johnny Bravo.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I fundamentally disagree:

Suggesting that Charlyne Yi is powerless is the “shut up and dribble” of Hollywood. She may not be as powerful as James Franco. She may not be as powerful as Seth Rogen. She’s not powerless. I can’t believe that needs to be explained in the #MeToo…

Growing up as a Mexican American kid in the 80's I LOVED Speedy Gonzalez. watching some of those cartoons now, a few of them were pretty shitty. most were more or less positive though. But he was pretty much the only Mexican on TV that wasn’t a drug dealer, so personally, I would not have been offended at all by kids…

I think Charlyne is also abusing her position of power to a degree. She knows she has the clout to smear people and hurt their careers so she better make sure it’s damn truthful before she says those things and she’s also inconsistently applying guilt by association. In order to be equal opportunity, she would have to…

“Hire survivors”

She’s portraying herself as a survivor of on-set abuse when she’s openly admitted nothing happened to her on that set. She simply heard second-hand rumors on the part of James Franco and insisted on breaking a contract which would hold up production and cause countless problems to other people’s lives. When the…

“Guy reiterates his stance that he’s had for at least the last 6 years, AV Club reminds you he didn’t have the same stance 12 years ago”

Older movies aren’t hard to watch if you can just accept that anything made more than five minutes ago is probably gonna contain something that’s offensive by today’s standards. It’s called contextualizing art, and it’s a really useful skill if you want to enjoy things.

Because in the arena of public opinion, expressing a dislike of Ms. Yi is taken as opposition to those ideas.  

It actually does help that the character wasn’t originally supposed to be Indian, because it means there’s not that much that’s stereotypically Indian about his characterization beyond the general accent.
