The SWAT officer who pulled the trigger is to blame. The person who called the fake incident into the police is to blame. The person who passed along the victim’s address is to blame.

I get what the director was trying to do, but the problem is that he did it at the expense of established characterization and common logic.

Joe Scarborough. That Guy in every women’s studies class who has to interrupt and say some version of, “If more women used birth control, the abortion rate would go down!” over and over again.

If they crack down on lootboxes, I do wonder what that would mean for other forms of similar mechanics—in particularly MTG (and other collectible card games) or baseball cards. I’m not sure what the legal distinction would be between EA’s lootboxes vs. say, digital MTG booster packs.

Is anyone else getting tired of hearing how “painful” this is for the accused men?

I won’t make any excuses for him, but I also don’t think every offense requires resignation as the only possible punishment. Have the Senate censure him so that he has a public black mark for eternity, let him do acts of contrition, and then let the voters of Minnesota decide next election cycle if they want him or…

Lena is an asshole and it’s annoying that she’s made feminism a part of her brand. She’s the epitome of a white feminist. Lena doesn’t want to embrace women of color or understand intersectionality. Lena just wants to be equal to white men. The rest of us can kick rocks. I’m not surprised she chose not to stand in…

I remember a while back I took Dunham to task on a Jezebel article for, after finally caving and having an actual black character on her show, he was a sexual interest for her character who was made a fucking REPUBLICAN so her character could look down on him and lecture him. I was soundly berated by the followers…

Leave it to EA to... Wait a second, hold on... I’m getting some strange noise on my en- No, wait, really?

I’m not sure “gay people can’t help being predators” is the best defense to go with here.

He just released this statement.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.…

Totally agree, it’s so much harder to criticize someone you know, and Colbert could have done better. I appreciated that Mike Schur apologized for having Louis CK on Parks & Rec even after hearing the rumours about him, and I wish more people would respond that way.

I’m waiting for Jon Stewart’s reaction. He was asked about the rumors at an event a few years ago and he seemed...aggressively ignorant? He claimed not to have heard the chatter, which seems unlikely but not impossible, before calling CK a “wonderful guy” or some such.

Beginning of Season 6: Special Agent Dale Cooper takes Frank Underwood’s hand and walks with him through the woods. Cooper turns around and Frank has disappeared. He never existed. 25 years later, Agent Cooper finds himself in an alternate dimension, living under the name Frank Underwood and becomes President.

He’s terrified of shirtless Mario, and he loves Mario’s wedding dress more than any other outfit. I think this points to Bowser being gay and deeply in denial. Shirtless Mario terrifies him, because the outfit brings all of Bowser’s repressed feelings closer to the surface. Clearly Bowser needs the love and support of…

When writing critically, I’m less concerned with intent than with what a work communicates. Whatever MachineGames intentions were are secondary to what the game actually says in and of itself.

Personally, I’m super thrilled that the greatest Nazi killer in American history is a blonde haired, blue eyed Jew. BJ Blazkowicz deserves a place in the Jewish Pop Culture pantheon alongside Sandy Koufax, Every Character Mel Brooks Has Ever Played, Spock, Seargent Donny Donowitz, Monica Geller, Grace Adler, Mordechai…

I’m sure the last straw was the Weinstein situation. They realized it was a bad look they were still working with him even though he’s been a known disgusting for years. So now they’re trying to cover their asses before sites are turned back onto him.

Why aren’t white people tired of seeing the next generation make a permanent record of their shitty behavior? Where are the white community leaders to set a positive example for their children?
