I avoid celebrity news like the plague and I hope this story dies as quickly as possible or moves over to Jezebel where it likely belongs.

Totally agree.  I’ve been to Japan many times and a few times run into something that was “For Japanese only” but when I returned with someone who spoke Japanese they were very happy to have me and treated my like royalty (throught my Japanese speaking friend).  Many places will have English signs or menus but in many…

I just want to second this comment. I’ve traveled to Japan three times and this is what the sign most commonly means. Many in the service industry worry that they can’t provide adequate service because they either don’t speak english or are concerned it isn’t good enough to be able to serve someone who doesn’t speak…

Google Translate is wonderful! <3

While Livanart is dressed as a black character with black skin, she hasn’t applied make-up or paint; her transformation into Pyke is achieved through the wearing of a prosthetic suit. Critics see this as a loophole, and that the same intent as blackface—to alter your skin colour to match that of a black person, a…

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I see it as a controversy in US, Europe should not live with American baggage. Likewise, this wasn’t trying to be disparaging. People shouldn’t impose their own insecure views onto other countries - or you know, you shouldn’t do anything to shame the great people’s republic of china…

I commend him for wanting to stay in his area of expertise. I’d rather he say he doesn’t know or doesn’t care than say something stupid that millions of people and media outlets would run with.

Like you don’t need to describe JD Fenix as a young Angelo Saxton cismale he’s just some guy, like “it” not mattering is…

“The fact that his fans think he was blackmailed [...] says a lot about who he is as a person”
Umm, no, it doesn’t

Let’s not pretend that “hundreds of fans” are in any way representative of his audience, considering he has over 100m subscribers.

I’m so happy i read this article about a chubby kaiju destroying shit before reading the article about another dude being accused of sexual harassment.

As someone who reads manga, I hate it when mangaka do this.

I have 5 ps4 controllers... I might have a problem lol

If I spin around with a bunch of lights shining on me, will the clothes just suddenly appear on me?

I hate how uniqlo does so many gender exclusive designs. I'm a guy but I want sailor moon shirts. I want pink shirts. I want princess peach shirts. The best pokemon and Mario designs were either children's or women's.
