You do know that other people have different backgrounds, perspectives, visions, and goals, yes?  It’s fine that your hype for this game is dead and I would absolutely encourage you to play Skyrim if you, you know, want to play Skyrim. 

“What happened to “Yes, #NotAllMen but we don’t know which men”

I don’t agree with all his points, and I don’t agree with anything Rowling says about trans people, but I have to agree: Rowling does not deserve this level of vitriol. No one deserves death threats as a response to a Tweet with a bad take. Or an op-ed with a bad take. Even a hateful and horrible take. Most likely,…

“And as her rhetoric has become even more troubling (“[It] is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence” she wrote in a recent op-ed)”

“[It] is dangerous to assert that any category of people deserves a blanket presumption of innocence”

Gender affirmation/assignment is just gay conversion therapy wearing a shiny new hat. Good for JK Rowling and the people who support her.

I would like to see us move away from automatic flag waving responses and really get into this. The entire spectrum of genderqueer people are badly served by taxonomic literalists that won’t accept any nuance between trans and and cis experiences.

No doubt they were all there for their looks.  But nothing about the show suggests they were reduced to bimbo status.  That assumes a certain level of performative stupidity.

True, but it’s not like they were asked to step forward and give a little twirl or something. Just standing there looking pretty might feel reductive, but the setup never felt skeevy. Does she think her looks didn’t affect her being cast on Suits?

Its more the ‘person who chose job in appearance focused industry complains that her job only cared about her looking pretty’ thing that people find a bit rankling.

Unless she was in danger of being homeless or had been physically threatened if she didn’t accept the Deal or No Deal job, she wasn’t forced.

Bravo.

I doubt that. Do you have any other passive aggressive remarks to share?

B-But... somehow it got her noticed and the rest is history...? Right?

If objectification isn’t the point of being a gameshow model, then what is? She wasn’t ice skating up to the stage and vaulting over Howie Mandel. She was hired to look pretty and open briefcases. I suppose they could have just set the briefcases on stage or used an actor in a cat costume wearing a top hat and a…

Never heard of it. I wish I’d never heard of Markle either. I know too many ‘victims’ IRL who aren’t married to royalty and who actually work for a living.

Should ya’ll really be amplifying known liar Keffals in all of this?

I never see this brought up, but Amouranth makes a ton of porn videos, with who I’m assuming is her husband. I’m all for that, but we can’t have it both ways in assuming that she likes what she is doing when we learn about this fucked up power dynamic and apparently awful marriage. Hope she can get her money and move…

“wah, I can’t kill Christians”

I’ve been a political writer 5 days a week for going on 8 years and I don’t know why you are expecting so much from this game in which you act like a jackass and go on murder sprees. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to play it, but I’m certainly not going to play for political soul-searching. I’m going to blow up…
