Yes, what has the world come to when a pop culture website has articles about pop culture?

Did you actually see Magic Mike? The movie itself makes the point that objectification is painful and harmful. The entire point of it is a deconstruction of the female fantasy of the make stripper.

Magic Mike is a pretty bad example because the entire point of that film is breaking down the female fantasy of male strippers and showing how painful and harmful objectification is to Mike.

She's saying she wants equality. Women being constantly sexualized would be less of a big deal if the same was true for men.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

It seems a bit unfair to cite biographical detail and works outside of the stories when it suits your purposes, but strictly disallow it when it doesn't.

If you're looking at the stories from such a biographical detach that when reading one of Lovecraft's stories you don't consider the fact that he wrote other stories, then I can see how you would see it as unfair. But as I said, when you're seeing them all of a piece, I think it's a fair reading. The fear of white…

No no, you subliterate fool. I just read the scripts at the back of the comics so I can get the pure, brilliant Gaiman text with none of that lowly "art."

I actually meant that once you've read the racist stories, it changes the tone of the other stories. Like Whateley from "The Dunwich Horror" might be the son of Yog-Sothoth, but when you've read the white ape story, it's hard not to see the racist undertones in an alien creature breeding with a woman who's so white…

Oh, dude. Come on. You should have used that setup to make a Sandman joke.

I think part of the disconnect between you and the other commenters below is that, when you're aware of the racism in his work, it's pretty impossible to see references to "savage" black people and "swarthy" outsiders as similar to how he describes even Anglo-Saxon people he sees as genetically inferior. It…

Yeah. It's certainly not what's most remembered and beloved from his canon, so if you got to Lovecraft from recommendations it's not surprising that you wouldn't have come across them. Reading the complete collections, though, cool Old Ones stories are side-by-side with the creepy ape-person stories, so it's all of a…

And the one word he couldn't read was "Edit" right below his own comment. Sad, really.

No, it can definitely be determined from his stories. The most WTF example to me is in his story "He" where a contemporary New Englander is taken backwards and forwards in time via Native American magic. When he gets to the future, he's horrified to see that the buildings are unfamiliar stone terraces and pyramids,…

Leprechauns don't need your dollar, dude, they have gold. It was obviously the Tooth Fairy.

America Ferrara's current show had the second-highest ratings for a new sitcom in 2015. Eva Longoria's sitcom got cancelled, though, so fair point.

I like Amandla Steinberg and all, but I don't think an actress who would need to be introduced as "You remember - Rue, from the Hunger Games? No, no, the first Hunger Games, like five years ago" would do much for their millennial outreach anywhere other than tumblr and maybe Buzzfeed.

I think they probably wanted to avoid any implication that Greg was upset about Steven being hit on specifically by a dude.

I'd imagine they're also posting more GJI articles because so many people show up to complain about them. If their click-count was low, they'd stop posting them.

A Bernie supporter who's voting for Trump never cared about the issues. They just care about who seems maddest in a manly way.
