I mean, would you call DuChamp not an artist? Or a whole lot of hip hop artists? It’s VERY arbitrary.

Look at Sober Sally over here

Also, I think there are very exciting musical mash-ups that are just someone lazily saying “Check out these two songs in the same time signature.” That doesn’t make it trash!

NEVER FORGET:

“Mashups, by their very nature, are trash.”

Also, isn’t there clearly software coming with that? Maybe it’s a download code? You can’t just plug your switch into cardboard and play the piano.

Damn, you’re right.

This is the most Little Big Planet thing that Nintendo has ever done.

No, I compared the wording of a sentence to make a semantical argument. In no way was I referring to the “plight” of immigrants as a point of comparison. So sure, if you don’t know what context is, that’s “literally” what I did.

God I fucking hate the Internet. People just willfully miss the point on purpose because…

Yea, TFA was a Rey/Finn-led movie, so when he dropped to 5th most important character (Rey/Luke/Poe/Kylo) it was just really disappointing.
I don’t mind that he failed, but make his story actually affect the outcome. Also, don’t act like his character arc is that he always runs away from battle (he conquered that in…

Hmmm... I thought the vengeful fanboy felt kind of obvious and played out, but I guess you’re right that in more mainstream entertainment, the “he just needs wuv” type is more common.
Overall I really liked the episode (def one of my faves). I think the issue is that they thought making him unsympathetic after that…

I mean it’s not that illogical. We (rightfully) got on Trump’s case for saying that “some” Mexicans are nice people while the rest are rapists and murderers. I’m not comparing the plight of immigrants in the US to whiny fanboys, but this has boiled down to a fairly similar rhetorical issue.

The article did say “entitled ‘fans’ have spent months now whining about any number of grievances, NEARLY ALL of which boil down to “Girls! Yuck!”

It’s not a huge stretch for the OP to think that the article is saying “nearly all of grievances against TLJ boil down to Girls! ‘Yuck!’”

Yea, I was literally told that admitting that Finn’s subplot was underwritten is a racist thing to say, so, I guess we just have to accept when POC get shoved to the background because we’re so happy they’re allowed to be in the movie.

You could always try reading the sentences right after that.

Yea, that Babe article is so poorly written that it took, like, a couple close reads to figure out where Aziz fucked up the most. It’s clear there’s something to be said in the story about the way we talk about consent and gender dynamics in sexual relationships, but this decided to bulldoze that conversation…

As does this Eliza Skinner blog post.

If it helps, I think this Jill Filipovic from the Guardian does a much better and more measured job of what Julianne Shepherd was TRYING to say.

That Jezebel said nothing of the sort. They’re saying that the REASON the conversation has moved to dismissal is that Babe fucked up and didn’t create a narrative that made the conversation about enthusiastic consent clear.
“At its core, Babe’s piece about Grace is important, but the inexperience evident in the…

Clearly, your girlfriend is a monster. Please realize this because an internet rando told you this, before it’s too late.
