Basically I suspect that’s all who will be left (and even they will be actively seeking employment at a more stable environment). I worked in tech for 15 years, 10 of that at startups and even in the worst case scenario it was never this bad. This isn’t the IT space, this isn’t “Techbro culture” this is a person in…

And then one segment of the fans would complain. It’s a game of “Who do we piss off this week” with this show (and most genre programming for that matter). Hopefully we can mix it up but really with the current format of one hour episodes and shorter seasons there’s far less leeway. I wish we moved to longer seasons…

I’m going to take this as a good faith statement of ignorance of the usage. There are some replies here that feel like they have an agenda that I’m going to ignore but Queer is a title that encapsulates gender and sexual identity. It’s a reclaimed word used by a swath of individuals. The LGBTQ+ when it initially added…

Well then, that’s a way to make an impression.

FUCK, this hit hard. He was under appreciated and could have done so much more. Batman would not be what he is today without his contribution. Truly he will be missed.

You’re doing some pretty thorough mental gymnastics here. I’m sure the multiple PoC Portuguese I know who’s families were living in the country for over a thousand years would really love your take. Or the Eurasian people I’ve known who are genetically shaped by the Mongol Empire would love your take as well. They…

I would counter by saying, if you are a creative (regardless of country of origin) and are going to use history as the basis for your fantasy setting you’d at least crack a book.

A 700+ year Muslim African empire that spread embasies throughout Europe and was represented in courts across the continent is hardly restricted to “the southern tip”. Also your definition of “modern standards of white” is kind of interesting.

Fine but look at the impact over 700 years had on parts of Spain and Portugal. The North African domination of the Iberian Peninsula had a permanent effect on the diversity in the population is incredibly vast because of those few hundred years. It’s something that can’t be discounted. I mean if Shakespeare has more…

How to say this delicately, Japan has a history of ethnic cleansing and genocide going back a very VERY long time. They are an island in an area which had a host of ethnic diversity. Even within the peninsula there were a variety of ethnic groups the Ainu, Ōbeikei Islanders and Ryukyuans (itself made up of four…

So, do you hate women or just sex workers?

Standard journalistic practices, even if you know they wont reply you have to go for the comment in case they do reply. You have to put in a good faith effort. Also, if you reach out for comment and they decide to come at you with lawyers you have an out as you gave them an opportunity to respond (hence its being…

Welcom to the intersection on the Venn diagram of Misogyny and Late Stage Capitalism.

You are one messed up individual.

It bums me out that you had to make this statement at all. There are a lot of people here who suck.

The insurance company of the ball pit manufacturers will likely payout and try and push up stream and then upstream lawyers and insurance companies will push back. If anyone fights it hard they will look VERY bad.

There are blogs going back over a decade discussing Lestat’s abusive treatment of partners. This is not a deviation, this is making explicit something that was implied in the books.

The entire point of the books was how abusive the relationship was. It’s what the core of the turn in Louis and Lestat’s relationship was over. I mean of course it was going to go there because it HAD to go there. I get it can be a bit much but if people are going into an adaptation maybe do a little bit of homework…

See this is where transparency on Platinum’s part may have been useful, if the latest update is true it paints a very different picture. If it was 3 to 4k per 5 hour recording session that’s substantially above market rate (for a non-union actor because if she was union these rates would be locked) and we’re talking…

Nah, this is an embarrassing look for the employee who is likely without a job. It wasn’t a corporate PR statement these things happen.
