No, I personally am fine with her saying shit about white people. But that? It wasn’t about being white. . . . .it was about saying an alleged victim was self-serving, lying, and just seeking attention. Bringing up all the tropes of sexual violence that hinder reporting of sex crimes across races and ethnicities of…

What kind of court documents could someone read that would make them have the opinion that an alleged victim of a sex crime was “starved for attention” or “self-serving” or “lying?”

Interesting. I’d love to see the data you’ve compiled to support this assertion. Care to share?

Anyone can be prejudiced, but racism is prejudice + power. Again, that person made a shitty, sexist, mean, awful, very bad, jerkish, unnecessary, and prejudiced tweet, but it’s not racist. That person seems like a sexist shitbag, but saying mean things about white people isn’t racist.

C’mon, I like you a lot, but this is kinda crappy. Japan is not some giant monolithic pro-rape culture. Most Japanese I know really dislike the otaku culture around it, and abhor the chikan types.

Oh, it’s very popular to blame women for being terrible people.

Yes! So sick of the way we hyper criticize celebrity women that identify as feminists, looking for any way to discredit them

Quite charming yourself! Glad we had this fruitful and thoughtful discussion.

I don't feel remotely guilty for being white, I just understand how racism works. The amount of outrage you put into one very long comment over the fact that I don't think non-white people complaining about white people is an issue was pretty impressive though.

It's not racist for her to talk shit about white people (we deserve it), but to assume Kesha is lying is sexist and shitty.

Since it’s possible to be an addict, or promiscuous, or annoying and still be sexually assaulted or abused the personal attack seems mean and unnecessary.

Wait wait, you’re predicating your argument that false accusations do happen on BILL COSBY? As in, you think Cosby didn’t rape anybody?

I HATE to bring you out of the greys on this comment but are you SERIOUSLY saying that Cosby is innocent?? No. Just no.

OH MY FUCKING GOD I JUST WROTE A MASSIVE ASS ESSAY THAT QUOTES I LOVE DICK BECAUSE I JUST READ IT AND IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD

25? Do you live in 1957?

The person in the body, wearing the clothing, gets to decide what’s flattering for their shape. “Flattering” is generally a euphemism for “makes you look not as fat,” “hides your gut,” and the like when applied to women who are not thin.

From what I can tell, “flattering” just means “makes you look thinner” in fashion speech. Nothing is going to make fat look thin past a certain point. Just roll with what looks nice on the body you have. Got hips? Rock ‘em. Got tits? Go for it. Got a broad set of shoulders? Have fun. Straight broad waist? Sure! Big…

I hear what you are saying to an extent. But I also think putting rules on what looks good on your body can also box you in unnecessarily. I’m gonna wear skinny jeans, crop tops, bikinis, etc. I’m not gonna listen to people that say only thin people can pull those clothes off. The most important thing I ever learned…

I don’t mean to be antagonistic and I get that you don’t like the garments shown in this post (which isn’t the entire collection). I’m not a fan of all of them either. But I hate the idea that people get so hung up on things “flattering” the plus size figure. If I had to work into people definitions of what flatters…
