This is why I love this site :) a bunch of SJW millenials who could not take themselves any more seriously. 

So go yell at the indian showrunners, why is this once again white people’s fault?

I wouldn’t trust that person because I would be worried if they had ulterior motives for our relationship too. 

I understand why whitewashing roles is bad, and I also understand the issue with playing trans people given their underrepresentation. But how is a straight person playing a gay person inappropriate? I seriously doubt gay people are underrepresented in movies and theatre - if anything I would put money down that it’s…

The Orville is frequently too earnest for a concept that should have more ownership of its satirical nature. I would have preferred to see MacFarlane do a live action series with the Lower Decks concept (and much better writers than the current Family Guy/American Dad crew).

Perfect example of our times. If you disagree with me, even if you’re trying to be reasonable, you are prejudiced, because I am right, and you are wrong. But your comment amuses me because I can’t think of anything more wonderful than if people like you left people like me the hell alone.

Well the issue is that we can’t conflate overt acts of bigotry and prejudice with what is essentially now a systems theory. Under modern critical theory it is no longer necessary for an actor to actually do something to be prejudiced - their mere existence as part of the system establishes their, for example, white…

The problem is entirely rooted in modern critical theory, which has replaced the traditional Marxist concept of “the means of production” with immutable characteristics like race and sex, and a byproduct of this is that people are categorized into “winners” and “losers” based on whether they have enough ethereal…

Believe it or not, the majority of civilized society doesn’t believe all cops are evil or that being a cop is a bad thing. This is strictly a fringe, on-line echo chamber belief.

“was receptive to feedback from some CIS Black men out there who proclaimed their love for and acceptance of Porter as a gay Black man. Thus, the addendum, where Porter—showing all-too-rare internet flexibility of mind—allowed, “I also receive when I am tone deaf.”

Considering the nuance of a topic is pedantic? Isn’t it the opposite? I don’t intend to use Parler but the AVClub is trying to score points and label them hypocrites for moderating vulgar content. If they were censoring unpopular liberal opinions you would have something, but as I said they didn’t start Parler because…

Well the AVClub isn’t being intellectually honest here. Parler’s anti-censorship mandate relates to ideas, not to threats and pictures of shit. I don’t see what they’re doing to be inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the site. 

lol it’s cute how you people think he committed some crime he must be punished for, or engage in some Maoist struggle session to correct. Maybe do some soul searching and try to understand where your pathological desire to control people comes from. 

Pretty much the entire newswire is cancellations now. They also need to stop calling it news because it isn’t. Whether the writers are on the right side of the issue or not they simply insert their own assessments of guilt in all the time, like this comment, buried among a bunch of statements that otherwise look like…

Roger Moore played Bond from age 45 to 58, and Elba is 47 right now (Craig is 52). Maybe you don’t keep him around for a 4-5 movie run but I think he could pull it off. 

If I had to guess I would say they are apprehensive about cutting him loose because of all his drug and mental health issues and the bad optics it would create. Better to just have him do the occasional harmless appearance. 

My god, liberals have just become their own kind of clown show. 

I don’t find it that controversial that there might be a component in the brain associated with gender identification that gets “flipped” or something. This is consistent with studies where people with ambiguous genitals were raised as the wrong gender, and the kids knew their whole lives something was wrong. But to…

I don’t agree with this. There will be lines that have to be drawn, such as with sport. I don’t believe I have any moral/ethical obligation to be fine with trans women in women’s sports because it aligns with their therapists’ treatment recommendations. But I can’t oppose it without acknowledging the basic truth that…

How do intersex people prove anything about trans ideology? Gender is a sociological construct, not a biological one.
