“...but it’s very possible for a person to be capable of both good and bad.”

As a Santa Monica resident, the response from Fig and the police department makes me very happy.

I’m just waiting for someone to make a real critique of her here. You know, discussing pop music (and Beyonce) as advocators of the United States’ dominant ideology: capitalism. There’s no liberation in that but since we’re looking at widely mainstream audiences who haven’t yet tried to grapple with the contradictions…

Um, have you listened to the crap the Stones put out in the 80s? And even Bowie had his bad/mediocre years along the way.

Yeah, but she’s basically saying that only women are qualified to have an opnion on Beyoncé, and that’s BS. I mean, is anyone else bored of yet another article criticising someone’s take on something because they’re male and/or het and/or cis and/or white - basically the wrong identity? Not everyone who doesn’t get…

“But” That little word that means I don’t believe ANYTHING I said before it.

It’s like he’s a bad person and his eyes are trying to get away.

I suppose we should just ignore the African elephants being poached as well, since it’s mostly non-white people poaching them. There's a difference between racial sensitivity and racial hyper-sensitivity.

I don’t get the issue here. Are we supposed to ignore the mass consumption of an endangered species because they happen to consume it in a certain part of the world?

This is what predators do to get their victims, so I’ll just wait for all the evidence to come forward. The entire movement isn’t awful but this guy might be.

Not sure I understand? It is a quote from Wade’s statement....

Yes, how absurd and unfair. My eyes rolled so hard it was audible. The difference is that those other shitty companies don’t attempt to profit from/make a brand off of being “feminist.”

That is true. But it’s not like women are looking up to Nike as some kind of great feminist icon to be respected.

I am suggesting that old men should stop having kids.

Weak, insecure men will be the death of us all.

It’s all for the publicity, pal. I don’t think it’s a bad will or purposefully careless encouragement, I think the Beyonce Biz encourages this for the publicity, and the attacks are probably seen as acceptable risk- something all businesses incur. I 120% believe her people started the beyhive thing to begin with too.…

Yeah, I’m not buying that. According to the article, she’s never even released a statement to the effect of “Hey, don’t do that,” right? I distinctly remember Stephen Colbert being criticized for “not doing enough” to stop the harrassment of Suey Park over the whole #CancelColbert fiasco, and he actually did take time…

Clover: This sounds like a descent into Idiocracy. To what address should we ship alcohol?

“And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”

“makes zero sense.”
