Pretty you guys are being deliberately obtuse. I am well aware of and acknowledge that we treat black people FAR worse, but you can ignore that. It's cool. Pretend I didn't.

I never said they were not. I said Americans have a problem with wanting to throw everyone in jail. Yes, more black people than white but we honestly love to punish everyone unless you have a lot of money and wear a suit.
Not in Oregon. There aren't enough non-white people to throw in prison here.
"That show is awkward because there's actually no reason for that character to be Indian."
Someone should also probably tell him that King Arthur was an entirely fictional character, a character who's "millenia-of-residence" can't even be decided upon.
Ketchup is, for some inexplicable reason, the second-most popular condiment in America, but that hasn't stopped one…
What's laughable is that republicans just don't understand why they can't get more women to vote for them. Here's a hint: we don't like to be left out of parties, policy considerations, or your general idea of humanity.
King Arthur's Round Table in the 12th century? Laughable indeed...
Wait, what's the plural of Missus? Missuses? Missi? Mississippi?
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CALL A ROOM IN YOUR COMIC BOOK STORE A "RAPE ROOM?
First Amendment only applies to state action. Creating a sexually hostile work environment is against the law.
Exactly! I'm not saying calling a sketchy room the "rape room" is a totally awesome and hilarious thing to do, but the real issue is how they reacted when she asked them to stop. Another major issue is the implicit misogyny when a bunch of men fire a woman because they think she's overreacting to a rape joke.
It seems like you're more taking issue with the fact that they a) didn't respect her boundaries; and b) that they got her fired for complaining about them not respecting her boundaries; as opposed to proclaiming that rape jokes, regardless of the audience or context or circumstances in which they are told,…
She got FIRED. She doesn't have a JOB. Or a PAYCHECK. All because some immature asshat made a joke and then she went to the manager and complained. It's not that she's "trying to cause crap." The crap has already happened .... TO HER. I don't see anywhere that she thought there was really a room where she was likely…
"Creating/fostering a hostile work environment" is something you can sue for— it constitutes sexual harassment. Whether or not she sued, or even had the wherewithal to sue, she's still correct to publicize this behavior and call it out. And it is especially relevant to any media story involving the comics industry,…
While I agree that there's a difference between, "Asshat made a terrible joke and owner looked the other way" and "this is an actual room where people are sexuality assaulted" (from the headline I assumed there was a room that celebrated comics that showed women being assaulted), that she got fired for complaining…
"she wouldn't work" = she can't take a rape joke.
Was Stephen Colbert saying "for some reason" about having to apologize? I interpreted it as him saying "for some reason we only have one female writer"— and was stumbling with his words because he was realizing in that moment how ridiculous that fact actually was. But I could be wrong.
This week, I've wanted to fuck every attractive dude I've come in contact with. I'm always about 10000000x hornier right before my period (I've got a Mirena IUD, so I don't really get a period, but I get pangs and twinges every four weeks that let me know I would be otherwise). This has been true of me since forever,…
I'm the type that gets as horny as a raging bull before and after my period. I also love period masturbation..it really helps with cramps. Long live horny period fun!
