I know you probably don't mean it, but this sounds like you're saying it's okay for Jaime to have raped Cersei because she's a bad person:

Sure, Jaime's now a rapist, but he's also handsome, funny,occasionally valiant and the woman he took advantage of is a real bitch, so who cares, right? Well, guess what? I care, motherfuckers, so if the people writing Game of Thrones for HBO ever want me to give a shit about Jaime again, they're going to have to work…

I'm not against depicting rape on television as long as it serves the story and treats the victims with a modicum of dignity

I think that was probably the point. You never should have liked Jaime after what he did to Bran, but you couldn't help it. Jaime is like many real world monsters/rapists: fully believing he is honorable and charismatic as hell.

Peeta! I hate how people* insult him for not being stronger than Katniss (or even being shorter than her. He's ruining male dominance!!! ARGHHH!!!!). But he's a baker's son. His temperament and childhood were completely different than Katniss'. I'm pretty sure he had 0 problems with her saving his ass.

Censorship would be banning it. Criticizing it is just as protected as publishing it. And a lot of the strongest critics of the way women are portrayed in comics are avid comic book fans. So yes, we can talk about the way female superheroes are drawn.

If you are complaining about the headline being sensationalistic, I don't disagree with you ( welcome to the internet!), but that wasn't what you specifically referred to in your original post ("a single mountain lion"). Now you're trying to play semantic games in order to seem like you knew what you were saying at…

OK, so you read *part* of the article. You managed to miss this, for instance: "Park service scientists have documented widespread exposure in carnivores to common household poisons. Of 140 bobcats, coyotes and mountain lions evaluated, 88% tested positive for one or more anticoagulant compounds."

Yeah - you read the article. What part of 88% of 140 bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains tested positive for anticoagulants are you having trouble grasping? Sorry dude - you're just another person on the internet looking to be angry about something. Go play somewhere else or try reading…

"Strong Female Characters" by Kate Beaton, Carly Monardo, and Meredith Gran.

The distraction justification is complete bullshit. And anyone who claims this has never actually been in real combat (Neither have I of course but, I have some good hunches.).

The "distraction" justification is complete bullshit. Do you think our gal soldiers in Iraq stood up and stripped to toplessness in the middle of firefights in Fallujah?

Male characters are not objectified, they are idealized. In other words, both male and female characters are drawn, by and large with the exclusive goal of pleasing a male audience, either by appealing to sexual fantasy or male power fantasy.

I think you may be mistaken about what the majority of women find supersexy because the pale, lithe English villain is the panty-dropper in the Marvel Universe.

The general consensus I've seen is that female superheroes are for sex appeal (for straight dudes) and male superheroes are for power fantasy (for straight dudes). The ultrabuff guy in a skin tight outfit is actually sexy to a very small number of women. Gay dudes, on the other hand...

Last Christmas my sister and I were in our hometown. Our dad was sleeping over at his fiance's place for the night, so the two of us decided to invite some people over and get drunk. A lot of people showed up, really random old friends of friends started coming out of the woodwork. This dude that no one really likes,…

I found my favorite porn star's personal FB page and found out his day job is a classical composer, he's mutual friends with an acquaintance of mine, and outside of the shopped leather daddy pornos he looks like a 5'7" slightly ripped unassuming nerd.

Back before Facebook, when my friends and I were too cool for MySpace, we were all on LiveJournal. I had had a nasty breakup with a dude that in retrospect was "not a good guy" but I was heart broken, and I only felt worse when he got back together with his ex... but his LJ was locked from me, but hers, was wide open.

Yeah, not proud of this, but when I first heard about Ashely Madison I thought it was horrible and set up a fake account with fake email so cheaters might waste time and money contacting me. However, I would go on it sometimes to just laugh at the messages with my friends (I was about 19 and in college). Anyway,…

I don't know if it's juicy, but a colleague that I dislike always boasts about his faith and great marriage. He sent me a email one day from his personal gmail account. I guess he forgot to check what address he was sending from .Well without giving it away, I'll say that it was a very graphic sexually aggressive…
