I agree.

Exactly. Anytime you put someone up on a pedestal like that you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Nobody is perfect and the vast majority of people are extremely far from it. Model your life after what you think is good and right, not anybody else’s opinion and especially not the opinion of an actor.

This is why I don’t have role models.  

This is the biggest disappointment for me so far. He blew all the credit folks would give him for acting as down to earth cop and making music as an underground king for so many years to endorse an unrepentant rapists of dozens.

21 fucking seasons of working on SVU didn’t teach Ice-T a little  more sensitivity to sexual assault survivors than that?  Jesus H Christ.

“I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward. My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth.”

From the headline alone, I was expecting an innocuous but tone deaf congratulatory tweet to her longtime friend and colleague being released from prison. I mean, it’s perfectly understandable to be happy when your friend gets out of prison, but people reading it will add the context of their crimes.

The very reasons he became a cop. Licensed sadist.

Fuck his condolences. That is the dead-eyed expression of a sociopath. I’m sure he’s scared shitless about his new reality, 23 hours a day in isolation for the foreseeable future. 

Nah. Queer people have to deal with this stuff all the time - Wendy was being messy (shocker), and saying “No, you’re not my type” isn’t out of line. 

Yeah, Wendy’s framing felt really homophobic to me. “Oh, wouldn’t you be attracted to me (cuz gay people can’t just be friends with people of the same gender)? Didn’t my prodding help you come out (because bullying always makes people feel safe)?” This is not about you, Wendy.

What’s Brat supposed to say — “Yeah, I…

Respect and disagree totally. Saying Wendy was problematic is an understatement, especially back around the time Brat was hot. Wendy was the definition of messy chaos influencer. She made it her business to be as disrespectful and gossipy as FCC regulations would allow. Brat saying she didn’t find Wendy attractive…

Oh my god that look wendy had when da brat said she had no real friends. Fuck wendy williams.

I think to say that the Venn diagram of Nazis and white supremacists being a perfect circle is a bit of an oversimplification, and Ash was right to both make a distinction between them as well as criticize the game industry’s degree of comfort with depicting Nazis but not other kinds of extreme right wing identities…

yes more views and streams for ziwe!

I suggest that non-Black Cuban Latinx folks should be considered white.   They are functionally Spanish which makes them white european colonizers.  Their Minority Cards should be yanked.

Have you not seen The Santa Clarita Diet? Its hilarious. I don’t like her movies, but this is easily the best thing she has ever done, and I’m really pissed that she pulled out of the series to do this talkshow thing. But Santa Clarita Diet addresses everything this thread is talking about - its hard to deal with…

Also words like this are just another way to put pressure on women to buy new clothes, be fashionable, be the cool girl, be interesting, be more concerned about being likable than what you actually like yourself, don’t be the wrong kind of woman... it’s internalized misogyny of the highest degree.

You’re gonna do this and not define the word? You guys do know that you have a rapidly aging commentariat, right?

IT IS CRIMINAL THAT DEBRA WILSON ISN’T A BIGGER STAR! She’s too damn funny, beautiful and physical to not have been more of a mainstream hit. I really feel MadTV cursed or relegated it’s alumni to a niche/cult status. Phil Lamar and Mo Collins being two other glaringly underutilized examples.
