Perfect answer — maybe this could be boilerplated in somewhere? This question comes up with every YES review and it's such a satisfying (and reassuring) response.

Impressed, especially with the last paragraph:

No, desperate is stretching this far just to play your part as a Sony fanboy in a played-out "fan war" created by corporations that only appeals to virgins and little kids.

Troll harder, you jealous tool.

Isaiah Washington was already the main reason I wasn't interested in The 100. And then they let him ramble pretentiously about it. What an insufferable fool that man is.

Actually, no, he said he didn't want a movie centered on "leftist politics." That implies a conservative viewpoint, does it not? Are you sure you understand what "reductio ad absurdum" means? Because it doesn't actually mean "seeing the words in front of your face and comprehending what they say." The word for that is…

I don't understand why so many people want a black or female president. It completely mystifies me. Please, those who want this, I'm calmly and non-snarkily asking you to help me to understand why.

If you don't know the person well enough to be pretty sure about his answer, you don't know him well enough to pop the question in the first place. I always get so nervous during these and then it's like, "Why would there be a video of it if it didn't work out?"

Right? One of the smartest guys around, but makes more obvious errors on a per-sentence basis than anyone I've ever seen. It's gotten to the point where it warms my heart: "What a brilliant point, to be made so illiterately... I bet this is Bricken, is this Bricken? It's Bricken. Bless him."

I don't see you around much anymore, but I wanted to say how inspiring I found — at the time — and continue to find your grace in this bullshit troll conversation. I think of you more often than you know, person from almost a year ago. Love her, love you, love your class.

Luckily, the originals haven't been changed in any way.

"But we'll have to leave it at that," he said, and then continued on spamming the thread over and over, with the exact same repetitive intensity, until the end of time.

You are a shit head, though. Not to mention an idiot.

"Basically, I'm the kind of 'feminist' MRA assholes drool waiting for. The kind that doesn't actually care about the serious topics I'm complaining about, as long as I get to complain. Just another tool in the box, for self-righteous old me!"

Yes, one thing Whedon hates is characters with "baggage."

You mean, those unspoiled people who might think an army of children are there by their own free will?

Of course if you read the subsequent books, you'd have noticed the Ayn Randian monologues about the evils of homosexuality delivered straight to the reader through a mouthpiece character.

...No, they also work for this game. This game called Jeopardy! that has rules, and internal logic, and a "narrow definition" of what constitutes a true and correct answer.

I have zero doubt you act this way in real life. Trust me.
