That was how I understood it too, especially with the guy's "they ARE heroes and they are going to space," but in that case why the fuck is Evil Boss Lady like "oh well, just get the one girl with powers out and let the other 600 suffocate if they can't fix their shit"? You guys have spent 50 years breeding these…

Around the time Evan Peters was singing I was like…what the fuck is even happening here? Is there a reason they're all getting anachronistic musical numbers other than that American Horror Story is up its own ass with how self-consciously ~wacky it is and people liked it when Jessica Lange sang The Name Game? Bluh.

When white girls get pregnant as teenagers, they're just good Christians taking a stand against the evils of abortion by Choosing Life.

Mine

It especially chaps my ass that she and her family are constantly bleating about how they're being attacked and persecuted for their way of life, when they're the ones out trying to impose their religious beliefs on the general public with everything from anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion activism to banning local…

Yeeeeep! Plus if you've ever seen someone's boobs right after they get their breasts done, the skin is tight and takes a little while to stretch and look soft/natural, even if it's a more reasonable increase like one cup size.

I'm not sure why there seems to be this false dichotomy being set up where dolls looking "realistic" has to mean "having every single possible flaw known to man." "Oh well she's got zits and stretch marks but she still doesn't have bushy brows and bad hair!!!"

Same here. Plus I read a bunch of stories from women who had bad reactions and ongoing health repercussions from the hormones and whatnot, and then all these articles talking about how the average payment was really more in the $8,000 range, and I was like…well, I was looking into this because I'm broke and don't have…

That's actually reassuring to know, I was pretty aghast at how dickish and condescending they were to people in general. Like yes, there are some high school kids asking questions that may seem dumb to YOU (and some of them were dumb, but kids don't get law enforcement 101 in school), but they're high school kids and…

It's scary and disgusting that girls are so trained to accept the narrative that men are simply going to try to sexually exploit them and it's THEIR job to not be sexually exploited that their first reaction when they're abused is "It was my fault, I should have known better, I should have been more careful."

While doing research for something I was writing, I signed up on a law enforcement message board where civilians can "ask a cop." One woman had been raped and trafficked as a 14-year-old, consequently had run-ins with the law, and wanted to know if her history would disqualify her from a law enforcement career now…

A lot of times porn-star screaming is just wailing, though (and a lot of porn is rapey), so if you're a kid whose sex ed comes mainly from porn, maybe you even interpret "screaming in pain" sounds as performative, porn star sounds. (I have no idea what sounds you'd think a rape victim SHOULD make if this is your…

I agree. Given how quick society in general is to dismiss rape as loose, irresponsible drunk women with "buyer's remorse" - people even laid blame against the Steubenville victim for drinking alcohol and passing out, "putting herself in that position" and thus "letting" her attackers rape her; or when those NY cops…

My cat is currently shredding the cat food bag even though she has readily available cat food in her dish less than a foot away.

I know there is another one, but all I've got is a vague memory of LSD-like aesthetics.

Hahaha! I did the Stephen King and VC Andrews phase too. A friend of mine was forbidden the Ninja Turtles, which was a new one for me - apparently his dad thought that the turtles were transformed through some sort of witchcraft. My friend vigorously defended the whole glowing-ooze explanation: "I was like, "no Dad,…

I'm sorry

Heh, you develop a good sense of the absurd pretty early when you live with a grown man who's threatened by My Little Ponies.

Yeah, I've always thought that's kind of interesting, because really, MOST films have the demons as villains, and even horror films tend to feature good triumphing over evil at the end, even if it's only temporary (ghosts/demons are banished, the final girl usually vanquishes Jason/Freddy/whoever, at least until the…

My evangelical father LOST HIS SHIT over that My Little Pony TV movie with centaur Satan and his bag of black sparkly magic. I had to watch the Ponies on the down low because they got branded satanic along with He-Man (being called "the most powerful man in the universe" meant he was trying to usurp Jesus; She-Ra…
