That was my choice too. My initial reaction was to shoot Kenny, then, after the truth was revealed, tell Jane to piss off. Kenny just struck me as having become too dangerously unbalanced, whatever the reasons.

Good argument.

I think this was covered elsewhere, but I would say there is a distinct difference between, say, a dye job and outright lying about one's actual identity.

Way late to this, but why is there so much hate for Glitch is a Glitch? I loved the ep, but even if you didn't, it doesn't seem to warrant this level of dislike…

That's… good that you're not a rapist, I guess? I'm not even sure what you're arguing about anymore.

Your bar for what does and does not constitute rape continues to get more and more nebulous. Good luck with that.

You very specifically said it would not be your fault, or at least that it would be her fault for, and I quote, "being stupid enough to believe it".

"the general vicinity of rape if not rape itself"? You sound like Bill Clinton asking for the definition of sex. Either it is rape or it isn't, there is no "kinda rape" anywhere except in Pat Robertson's oddly colored universe. That you're waffling even on that hypothetical says quite a bit.

Appreciated. I don't mean to jump the gun, but I've had Dworkin tossed at me before like an accusation pretty much in tandem with stuff like "go braid your armpit hair", if not exactly that. Cheers for not being That Person. =)

Not really. Dworkin was too transphobic and sex-negative for my tastes. My apologies if I'm throwing up the walls too quickly, but were you legitimately interested in the answer, or was that meant to be some back-handed accusation that I'm some Man-Hating Radfem (tm)?

Going to reply to both of your replies here, just for the sake of space. I honestly have no idea what the writers are thinking. An hour of BB or BCS pretty amply demonstrates, though, that they have no issue with writing protagonists that do morally reprehensible things that they themselves would likely disagree with…

I'm not really convinced being the chair of Goldman Sachs these days is something to go to your grave all that proud of. See: Matt Taibbi's Vampire Squid book.

Wow, no, fail, try again. Remember the scene from Revenge of the Nerds, when Lewis wears the Darth Vader helmet and sleeps with the jock's girlfriend by pretending to be him? That's been considered a pretty gross and rapey scene by even most conservative estimates for a while now by anyone who isn't a card-carrying…

Wow, seriously? You lie to someone, get them to sleep with you under false pretenses, and in your world, that's not only not your fault, but it's feminism's fault for pointing out that yeah, it actually kinda is?

He can't, they need another black guy in the group first.

See, the scene with Gabriel turning on Rick's group worked in the comic because, however misguided, he'd been exposed to a lot more of their 'ruthless' actions by that point. In the show, there's no real even remotely rational justification for him doing that beyond Rick hacking the Terminus douche to death. But as…

Yeah, the snitch just really fundamentally unbalances the entire thing. I know there were supposedly canon adjustments to the rules later on, but still.

See, you're right, I didn't really agree with a lot of what you said, and you're certainly not going to change my mind, nor I yours; but…

True, but the existence of benders kind of throws normal military strategy out the window, to an extent. Though if you go too far down that road it kind of throws the entire series out of whack, I suppose. Get Bolin close enough and he could just open up a lava field underneath Kuvira's big wind-up toy, I suppose. …

It seems like the Fire and Water nations should pretty much already be on the move at this point, yeah? Izumi may have refused to support an attack on Kuvira earlier, but Kuvira attacking Republic City seems like it would shift things politically to where the other nations couldn't just be like "Oh, well, that's an…
