This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

“Maybe you should just try a teeny tiny bit to not express your thoughts in ways that actively hurt other people?”

For the first time in history, white men have to occasionally, just a tiny bit, think before they speak and be questioned about their words and beliefs.

Jesus, please don't do that.

I’m certain the legal process they’re referring to is an attempt to emancipate her.

Thank you. Two things can be true— we can acknowledge that this is more than most rapists get, while maintaining that it is insufficient. Additionally, I would argue that he WAS coddled, and the judge WAS lenient, because he’s a rich white kid, drenched in privilege. Let’s be real, black and brown rapists would never…

The Daily Beast said Persky “coddled” Turner; the petitioners said the sentence was “lenient.” Yet they’re both wrong. The truth is that Brock Turner will spend more time in jail than 97 percent of rapists.

But wasn’t Arya able to peel a jaqen face off Jaqen, then underneath were several other faces, including Arya’s? The mechanics of faceless man cosplaying are confusing.
