When we have an industry based on the commodification and selling of human bodies, is it ever possible to disentangle objectification (racist and otherwise) from it?

I just want the gross racial stuff gone. I want to see hot asian people fuck without gross “me so horny” things. I wanna see hot black people fuck without gross “bull” references. I’d also like the misogyny gone. And the incest.

Porn itself is inherently politically incorrect, and you are right that the CONTENT of porn will always be “problematic,” because part of the allure is the fantasy and the perceived taboo nature of porn.

The problem isn’t the porn industry but society. The content of porn is unapologetically driven by what their customers want to get off to. That is why there are tons of rape fantasy porn etc. And I am sure there are tons of people that would say that the violence towards women in porn affects sexism in society as…

The fetish is for the a white male audience. Data shows us (in dating apps, etc.) that white women are more likely to be discriminatory against black men rather than be wracked by BBC fantasies.

They do not deserve the sympathy of embarrassment. They hid their identities because they knew what they were doing wasn’t a good idea. When the truth was revealed, they dug in their heels and proudly wore the casual racism. It is no coincidence that they chose to retire the name during a time when casual racism is…

Yeah, this smells a lot like “well people who were racist back then were just a product of their times.” Like please, those people knew that shit was wrong.

Same here. The authors couldn’t come up with a good-enough hook on their own, and decided to adopt terminology without reckoning with the history of the word.

And…

They are easily accessible, inexpensive, and fresher because they’re frozen almost immediately after picking and processing.

This is a random nit-pick that is not the point of the article, but aren’t frozen vegetables actually perfectly fine and nutritious to eat?

I just had to tell the fundraising committee I’m on for the local high school why it’s not a good idea to hold a gathering of over 100 people-- with live bands performing, no one wearing masks because of all the eating and drinking they’d be doing— next month.

Putting aside the racial connotations of their brand, I’ve always found it very cringey as well. I get we all need a schtick, but not this one. 

It’s all good, doc. We need someone to give us the facts, good or bad. So many of us are familiar with being on a job, trying to accomplish things while also trying to placate an incompetent asshole boss who only cares about himself.

We’re coming up on almost three weeks since the protests start. If we don’t see a big surge in Covid-19 cases among those who were present pretty soon, then it’d be a very good sign (that would suggest that the virus just doesn’t spread outdoors much at all, and the masks probably help even further).

What does normal look like? Look at the South. There seems to be a collective decision that things would go back to normal on Memorial Day because the sun is out, lake life, and baseball season. We have the numbers to show for it, too. There’s a few masks here and there, but it’s a political statement that you don’t…

Yes. Why have freshly frozen in-season and local produce when you can pay someone to ship a truckload of veggies and ethylene clear across the country for triple the price!

I’ve got a great name for them: “Lady A’s Kitchen.”

Thanks, I hate it (and them)!
Plus, frozen vegetables are absolutly not “bullshit”! bBcause they’re flash frozen right after picking, they can frequently be more nutritious than the “fresh” equivalent, which has been sitting for who knows how long slowly decomposing.

“Nicky” or “Nick”? If that’s true, it’s pretty clear what word they’re trying to evoke.

Lifetime has known Miller is a racist for years, they just didn’t care. They also knew she verbally abused children for years, they just didn't care. .

The fact that it took this long for her to be fired for this shit makes me wonder about all the other racist things Lifetime edited out. It is also another damning entry on the “why Lifetime is horrible and deserves a horrible ending” list.
