Hell, not only that. Look at what he did with Wonder Woman and her scenes.

If you watched both versions of the film, Whedon cut out entire Cyborg plot (he is LITERALLY the heart of the Snyder cut), he cut out his parents, Iris West & Ryan Choi - ALL CHARACTERS OF COLOR.

Seriously though, just a bizarre defense.

i wish i could get distracted. i have a list.

Eating disorders have BMI within their diagnostic guidelines. You must be underweight to be diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. The problem there is that it takes years of disordered eating before most people who do become underweight actually do and most people never actually become underweight. The alternate diagnosis,…

I think everyone defending its uses is severely discounting the amount of harm it does compared to those uses. 

I, too, tend to throttle dudes for nine fucking minutes when I’m “distracted.”

BMI is entirely useless as a medical condition diagnostic parameter, FIGHT ME.

Every witness should just say, “That guy knelt on the victim’s NECK for OVER NINE MINUTES until he was dead.”

“Sleeping with a 17-year old when you are 17 is still rape, you melted popsicle.”

My mother was hit as a child; it was just the culture of parenting back then. But she was affected enough to decide she would never, ever hit her children, and she’s mostly stood by that. I really am glad for this stance of hers. 

Shh...it’s going perfectly. Don’t let him know, because he SHOULDN’T. CHANGE. A. THING.

Right. A lot of parents in this country feel that a child should have about as much agency as the silverware: just another object to own.

Probably one of the worst things was when I read that people who grew up in abusive households tend to repeat the cycles of abuse. For that exact reason I never had kids of my own. I was terrified I’d be like that, too. Ironically when I…

Watching Gaetz flail about desperately trying to make the Roy Cohn playbook work for him is endlessly entertaining to behold. No matter how much he tries to blame the “swamp” it’s not going to stop the Feds from putting him in handcuffs, which has been reported elsewhere as happening imminently. He’s no Teflon Don…

In a weak moment, my mom discussed my sister’s mental health issues. She had the audacity to wonder why my sister still had a propensity to unpredictable violence. I exclaimed...

‘My lifestyle of yesteryear...’ Are you fucking kidding me?

Um, no Matt...I’m pretty sure they are just coming for you, ya creepy piece of shit.

...it might be time to try and identify the reason that around half of all American parents still hit their children, in an attempt to reach and educate these people before the trajectory of their kids’ entire lives is shaped by ineffective at best and harmful at worst physical aggression.

Instead of focusing on whether or not spanking works as a behavior modification aid when decades of evidence have proven it does not, it might be time to try and identify the reason that around half of all American parents still hit their children,
