Someone literally asked which gender identities were "bullshit" and I thoughtfully pointed out a redundancy in a few. I don't have a dog in the game of how different people identify. But it's literally the conversation we're having.

Sorry why are you replying to me? All I did was agree with an interpretation of the joke.

Scot Armstrong did uncredited polishing on the original as well.

Yea, of course, I realize that. Sorry, I misspoke. I mean that eventually I wonder if people will move away from the idea of a trans community. Seems valuable considering the prejudices they still face, but just a thought. Like, the idea of including "trans" as a gender option is supposed to be exclusionary, but…

That's a pretty shittily formatted header image, Internet!

Within context he's literally talking about famous people. And so, the environment causes "craziness"? Is this a vaccine thing? :D

Right, but then what's the difference between that and Non-Binary? Or Gender Variant and Gender Non-Conforming? Or Agender and Neutrois? I'm not trying to police language, but it seems like the social world of gender fluidity is moving faster than our ability to really understand it.

What, you can't throw those out? I'm male!

I feel like "genderqueer" is really vague. Like there are other more specific terms make it kind of useless, no? Maybe this is simply how language works, but I feel like we're just coming up with labels rendering others redundant or meaningless before we even have intelligent definitions.

Unlike gender, your reaction to this apparently has to be binary.

It's interesting to see how the trans community moves in the coming years. As a persecuted group, it makes sense that their identity be tied up in being trans.
Maybe, I'm probably just projecting as someone who isn't trans… but it seems to me that at some point, more people will reject the "trans" part of the label…

That's how I read the joke.

Anderson Cooper didn't say it was "queened up"… Andy Cohen did. Also, you make it sound like Jon Rudintzky is dead.

Um, is the point that mental illness doesn't exist in famous people because they have to be strong to be famous? That's what I'm getting from "Because people are not crazy."
Maybe that makes sense considering the seemingly higher concentration of Scientologists in Hollywood.

WHAT?! Electronic beats!? SOUL samples? In Hip-Hop?!?!? What is this sorcery!?

The point being that if someone creates good art it's impossible for them to be unhinged or ignorant.

Exactly. And to pile on Sony more, I agree with you and still think that ASM2 is VASTLY superior to the first one. Simply because it's less cringeworthy (Paul Giamatti's hammy Rhino works a lot better for me than, say, the basketball scene or all the crane operators in NYC banding together to give Spidey a path) and…

No, I don't joke. The reason you state is exactly why I think he'd be suited to the movies. Every Spider-Man fight has kind of similar mechanics to him swinging and punching and shit. The Spot is a great example of a way to switch up the choreography in an interesting way, force Spider-Man to be kind of grounded,…

I'm interested to see how history remembers him. He's very solid. And even through his experimental mocap phase, he's been doing interesting things.

Eh, it's not quite that. (I saw it). There's a greater assumption of audience empathy. Like it's more "I bet you New Yorkers know what 'con leche' means too!" instead of an instructive tale of Washington Heights.
But I get you about it being the simple stuff. The story is very typical and the references and…
