Oh, honey. My heart breaks for you. I’m so afraid for my daughters because of these things I hear all the time - how do I teach them to be wary of men, without somehow making them cynical to the point of unhappiness? How do I tell them to openly trust the men they spend their time with - their friends, co-workers,…

He did admit that he’d always pictured Mindy Park as of Korean lineage, but emphasized again that he had never actually explicitly written her as Korean.

Bridesmaids was Paul Feig, no?

lol they’re absolutely unbearable and unholy in length. Watching those movies feels like reliving my relationships with absolutely awful manbabies throughout my twenties and thirties. How that man is so celebrated is beyond me...

I’m pretty old too, and I really feel that maternal sort of sympathy towards them along with so.many.eyerolls.

It tickles me when huge fans of all those overlong Judd Apatow movies about manbabies or even Seinfeld fans absolutely LOATHE Girls...when those characters are just as unlikable and predominantly white (ding ding it’s sexism)

for real

Yeah it’s like I get that fantasy often has real history as an inspiration (or a knockoff) but they’re using the WRONG AND RACIST interpretation - white people never colonised other countries to reform them, there is NO white man’s burden. It was for economic profit. Why are we doing this whole imperialist inspired…

Uh buddy they’re off book now. I’m just saying *kanye shrug* They did this already, maybe try something else this time?

and ohmygod SANSA AND JON I’M CRYING

we’re also doing that whole white girl saving the savages thing all over again i see

I hated that book. Torture porn. So melodramatic and repetitive.

She wrote the essay DECADES LATER you dummy

I’d be happy with either Storm or Shuri tbh.

They did that with Luke Cage too...turned Misty Brown into a light skinned woman. Le sigh.

Someone just told me about the rights thing and I am so bummed out ugh. Storm would have a much more important role than if they’re just making Lupita a run of the mill “romantic interest” but I’m still hoping for something huge

Yeah, and it would probably be too much to expect a Storm spinoff even if that happens. So ugh.

STOOOOOOOORM STORM STORM

I wish she’d be Storm. That would be absolutely amazing.

I understand the fundamental concept too, but it has a lot of holes. Like, who do we decide has the upper hand? White people can be racist towards Asians, but black people cannot be? What about mixed race black Asians? What about Asians in the third world for whom all Americans have the systemic advantage over? Can’t…
