Funnily enough, we just returned this machine for a different one. I’m not sure if we just got a faulty machine or if there was something we forgot to remove from it that we couldn’t see, but every time coffee was brewed, the machine mid-brew would start to smell like burning plastic, and the coffee itself had a…

Who says they don’t?

Vent your frustrations all you like, but don’t pretend that those gross generalizations aren’t exactly the same thing you’re claiming to be against just because the oppressed are using it against the oppressors. Last time I checked, we don’t consider the atrocities committed by the Allies during WWII to be justified…

Lolwut. That’s not what he’s/she’s saying at all. What they are saying is essentially you don’t fight a house fire with more fire; all you’re going to do is burn the goddamn house down.

So let me get this straight: you acknowledge that there’s all these hateful, misogynistic posts that that serve to prolong the systemic oppression of women, but you don’t acknowledge that similar posts about men are on par because men have never felt the same oppression?

It’s sad when women like you claim to be feminists while promoting misandry. All you’re doing is making a mockery of true feminism.

Thighs I can understand; entire leg every time you shower is a little ridiculous, especially if you’re the type to shower twice a day. Some folks here are even suggesting scrubbing down their whole leg every time they shower. I can see how it’ll vary from person to person (I personally wear jeans regularly and live in…

False equivalency. Your hands literally come into contact with EVERYTHING since they are what you use primarily to touch anything, especially in the bathroom where the bathroom, and on some level, your bits, are breeding grounds for bacteria. Your legs on the other hand generally don’t go through the same…

I’m always amazed when germaphobes and neat freaks seem to know and understand less about hygiene than the people they criticize and shame for not practicing what they consider “enough” of it.

That too. Forgot to mention that part. Thanks!

“Up is down”? Well that’s just maddeningly unhelpful.

If I remember right, Penelope Cruz’s character had accidentally been poisoned by her father’s sword, and Ian McShane (who played her character’s father) had been shot (though it might also have been the reverse). Anyway, McShane’s character was willing to sacrifice his daughter’s remaining life to heal himself, and…

I’ve always known it as “In my honest opinion”. It’s just one of those things some people have never heard said in conversation and filled in the blank with their assumption, and some people have learned through word of mouth from other people who learned it incorrectly. Kinda like the phenomenon where some people…

Personally I disagree, I find Fennekin to be more feminine than the other 2. I think for me, the eyes determine it, and something about Fennekin’s eyes just appear more feminine than the other 2 Gen VI starters.

It’s ridiculous that so many people in these comments automatically equate this to bigotry; heaven forbid the reason be something more simple like...oh, I don’t know...people simply just don’t like the design. Then you wouldn’t have a soapbox to stand on.

Holy crap, calm the hell down. This is why normal people have a hard time taking modern feminism seriously; it’s because of extremists like you who take something trivial like not being particular to having a previously gender neutral Pokémon evolve to a form that doesn’t appear gender neutral, and equate it to hating…

It’s ironic that the people on here who’s comments could be identified as the “more progressive”arguments are the ones being more hostile and aggressive about it.

I don’t think it’s fair to suggest that people have an issue with this over some inherent sense of fear or distaste of femininity.

This going to sound nitpicky or pedantic and is not really on topic, so I apologize ahead of time because that is not my intention: I’ve been seeing the phrase “women characters” crop up more often in usage, but I’ve grown up knowing the phrase to be “female characters”. Is this a result…

Your logic doesn’t follow because you’re putting the responsibility in the hands of someone who has no business holding it in the first place. If a hotel critic visits a hotel with unsatisfactory facilities, they’re not going to report it to the hotel first. They’re going to write about it in their critique. And…
