You’re pretending it’s narrower than it actually is to make your point. UN definition of domestic abuse: Domestic abuse, also called “domestic violence” or “intimate partner violence”, can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate…

Redmayne’s description makes a lot of sense as it positions his casting not necessarily as the problem in itself but as a symptom of the problem which is really lack of representation behind the scenes. If the film had been directed, written, produced by trans people, the entire film would have been more authentic to…

HE made it about physical abuse. There's nothing in the very short statement he sued over that's specifically about physical abuse. 

What in the statement at issue refers specifically to physical abuse?

That’s far from conclusive. Lots of queer masc women and gender non-conforming or trans people have experienced a confusing “wait, do I want to be this person or screw this person” interest that mimics infatuation.

Or even better, Wakanda like in the comics. There are some choice jokes in the comics about Bruno’s Wakandan friends coming back with him to visit and treating Jersey the same way white voluntourists treat African countries. It’s so primitive! Get a pic of me helping these underprivileged Americans!

In the comics, Kamran is also an Inhuman and does get close to Kamala on purpose to recruit her to the baddie Inhuman side. Not looking forward to the comic's meaning of Crushed, which is Kamala getting her heart bruised by the revelation.

China has dictionary contests, where you have to look up a word in a non-alphabetic system. It sounds both harder and less entertaining than a spelling bee, as well as a indication your written language is fairly ridiculous for the modern world.

True. I was more emphasizing that no one is asking for everyone to support Ingram, just to refrain from bigoted attacks.

Pretty sure “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” far pre-dates 21st century America. Neutrality is literally the easiest thing to do.

Exactly this. I can’t think of anyone who gave a career-best performance in Star Wars. Even actors who are widely critically acclaimed outside of Star Wars have turned in some real stinker performances in the franchise. And yes, Ingram's parkour sequence in the second episode is ridiculous, but that's on the people…

I don't mind Charlotte's second husband but I also haven't seen anything after season 4

A very fair take especially considering that almost none of the Sex and the City characters are likable in the first place. 

A lot of the racist messaging is “she’s a shitty actor who was only hired because of tokenism” so the direct rebuttal does include “she’s a great actor! That's why we hired her!” But directly rebutting in this instance gives undue legitimacy to the critique, which is really just a veil for misogynoir.

McGillis’s character didn’t get cut just because of the “Tom Cruise shall not date age appropriate women.” It’s specifically because Kelly McGillis has aged unacceptably averagely according to Hollywood. According to her, “I’m old, and I’m fat, and I look age-appropriate for what my age is.” Personally I love the…

I agree. I don’t watch a wide variety of panel shows, but the ones I watch seem to be much more diverse than the American TV I watch. QI and Taskmaster both do a good job finding guests and contestants from a wide range of ethnicities, ages, orientations, abilities, physical attractiveness, etc. 

Health and the appearance of aging are related but not the same. Also, it’s not who you know, it’s the scientific method or anecdote. Clearly you’ve chosen anecdote which imo is the far inferior method!

I mean yes, but also there have been scientific studies on identical twins that confirm smoking and sun exposure prematurely age people.
