Problem is that’s a good recipe for killing those genres altogether because guess what? Streaming’s not that good a profit generator either! That’s what the studios all found out, the revenue from streaming is weird and unreliable. If Netflix makes a comedy, maybe that contributes to their total subscriptions, maybe…

We’re stuck because we can’t decide which is the litmus test: how it made the other person feel vs. what it actually was.

A pat on the ass might make one person feel terrible, and another, annoyed. One person might fixate on that ass pat; the other might shrug it off.

Same pat, different asses.

I think there should be…

You don’t need to tiptoe around the fact that on this point (and setting the Spacey topic aside entirely), she’s right. The expansion of the definition of sexual assault has only served to render the phrase less valuable and impactful. Some of the statistics we read include experiences like being made to feel…

‘And sure, “There’s a difference between a slap on the ass and rape,” but an unwanted assault is an assault. Groping someone’s genitals is a form of forcing someone “into a sexual encounter.”

I like how Alicent is now completely done with trying to hide her contempt for Aegon. “And what ideas would you have?”

The Mummy, Legend, Interview With the Vampire… okay, fine, everything is science fiction now.

I feel like the initial premise that the shared custody deal was somehow a fumble or mistake is obviously wrong, and just a really weird take. Maybe it was just following a bad conclusion back to an even worse premise, but I checked out immediately.

Is it though? A mess I mean?

They use the old EU the same way the mcu uses the comics. Mine it for good stories/ characters/ other world building or whatever, and then turn it into whatever new thing. I'm not saying it's always a good end result, just that it's a similar concept. There's some real weird EU stuff out there, so it's no surprise…

There is a link to the quote.

the Brackens and Blackfoots were so easily goaded into annihilating one another, weren’t they?

She said the plot was worthless pornography

Not sure how a possibly flawed study that showed 97% of UK women have been sexual harassed has to do with trans women, except for the fact they, as women, are part of that 97%.

The crazy thing is if a man genuinely DID want to dress up as a woman and go into women’s toilets to harass women, there has never been anything actually stopping him - a random perv could have done that in 1924 just as easily as he could do in 2024. But it didn’t really happen in 1924, just as it doesn’t really…

Only because there wasn’t a great deal of analysis on the ridiculous shit she wrote. Not sure how likeable someone who writes a defense of slavery into YA fiction could really be.

That is the thing, its all hypothetical “think of the women” bullshit with the terfs. They find one case where someone , who may or may not actual be trans, does something wrong and then they say “Look, this is all trans people everywhere!!!!”. They also cherry pick data worse then climate change deniers.  

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

Good question! You seem to hate the show.

I feel like you have to really force it to read that as implying that Swift doesn’t play live.

It’s amazing that the fandom of Swift, one of the most popular, rich, and powerful people in pop-culture, relies almost entirely on seeing her as a victim or at least constantly in danger of being victimized.
