Its a story created by a man who was intent on telling things semi-realistically about a time period where women were kept under heel, literally. Its not at all a story about critiquing the patriarchy because frankly GRRM doesn’t do critiques like that. He does STORY-TELLING. He lets us decide whether or not to…

Using Corbyn as your go-to example of how she isn’t progressive? fuck that. Corbyn did jack all to stop Brexit. He even likes certain aspects of it... progressive... christ. You’ve mistaken far left for progressive. Which is NOT the same thing.

well... she BECAME stupid stalker bait. The thing I loved most about her personality was she stayed with Steve rather than go off with the guy who tried to white knight her. That she broke up with steve makes sense... but her scene with jonathan and murray was the HEIGHT of creepiness.

ty I hated that scene.

honestly I don’t think all male-directed shows/movies need to meet the bechdel test. I also think there is value in noting when a movie/show DOESN’T meet it, but I wouldn’t use that to harp on the show if it still does a good job. Now if it was a show that was purported to be about purely female characters and it…

but Friends was essentially about the lives of white yuppies. Honestly for their stories it wouldn’t have made sense in the 90s. They totally COULD have had different stories, but they wouldn’t have been the same, which felt to me to be based off their chemistry. I think a better comparison would be to bring up shows…

I could not stand the scenes with Nancy and Jonathan. I never felt like he had any chemistry with her. Their storyline always felt like the the traditional scifi/fantasy trope. I really preferred the idea that she would be with Steve. Honestly, he went from my least favorite character in S1 to my favorite in S2. I…

Is this a surprise to anyone? Just watch one episode of Beyond Stranger things. I’m a bit antisocial these days, and even I shied away from the Duffer brothers pure inability to understand their fellow creatives/actors in that show. They are very socially inept. They probably don’t even understand this complaint, and…

Didn’t you hear? Christopher Plummer has come out as an Ex-nazi supporter. Nothing is sacred. (Note- he is not actually a nazi supporter.)

What about all the stuff that has occurred over the years at the comic cons? So many have incidents that are quietly hushed up.

My favorite thing is as a naturalized American I know MANY MANY Americans go America is #1, the best country in the world. They fail to realize most foreigners consider them the dumb fat bully. They are nice on the surface most of the time because they don’t want to piss us off. That builds a lot of ill-will.…

Yes, I did. Obama’s campaign was epic. Revolutionary. The First Black President. He ran on Hope. To about 1/3rd of his voters, he needed to deliver nothing. He merely needed to exist and he had their approval. To another 1/3rd of his voters he needed to present a pragmatic and agreeable face, which he did. The last…

Id say TOS was not better. It was definitely worse in some cases, oddball great in others. TNG... definitely worse. Frankly TNG doesn’t really get good imho until S3, and that only lasts for about 3 seasons. DS9... well that depends, for a lot of people those first 8 episodes are wonderful. Your first time watching…

actually, no. *pushes up sunglassses*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is why I say sexual assault will never end, it seems endless. Some people hope we’ve met a critical mass and have defeated it. Even if that is so, its only temporarily. Look we haven’t even beaten racism... or gotten 90% of America to…

Evil, and those that will vote for it... will always exist. It’s up to those who aren’t to step up to the plate. No doubt some Trump voters are purely fixated on the racial division (the media LOVES to harp on this line), but no doubt not all Trump voters are like that. Playing that line doesn’t help us at all.

The fuck you say? Its ALL OF our jobs because we all live here. You either a) want a better world and help to make it better or b) you don’t and you don’t. Don’t do B.

I wish I could smile. I used to be fairly moderate in terms of political affiliation. Socially liberal, financially conservative... and I know many Republicans are still that, financially conservative first and foremost (with many of them believing that social progress is inevitable)... these people are now often…

jesus christ, asshole liberals like yourself make it really really hard to reach out and form any sort of conducive conversations. Reminds me of all the fake liberal news coming out that pushed hardline left polices. Where did most of this fake news come from? Rrrrrrussia, as they attacked us all across the board...…

Le Sigh. Missed, the boat... completely. As long as you hold to this generalistic hate... nothing will ever change. Feel free to hate individual trump voters if you know them, but entire groups of voters? No... I blame the propaganda machines that have twisted them. I blame the people pushing stories to cement their…
