To be fair, the entire point of the title is to upset white people.

Idiot racists and bigots are triggered by everything. I’m playing the new Battletech PC game and the Steam forums are full of people bitching about the fact that at character generation you get to choose between three pronouns(he, she and they). And the fact that your NPC crew is a mix of multiracial people.

“Thank you, friend, thank you for that call. I invite you to tell whoever is feeling discriminated against to sue me so that I can sue every studio that has left women out…’cause we can do this, if that’s what you want to do.”

The fact that so many white men get so defensive simply over being referred to as “white men,” which you see all day long in every comment section on the internet, is a testament to how infrequently the words “white men” have been used in the past, because that’s always just been the assumed default setting. A white…

Ignoring for a moment the long-standing and definitely unfair dominance of men in most fields, and looking at this from purely a legal perspective, how is admitting you refuse to hire men solely because of their gender not a textbook case of discrimination?

You wouldn’t think so, but some people are incapable of just saying, “This isn’t for me.” Everything that’s not for them is some sort of affront. It’s a pathetic way to go through life, but I can’t summon much pity for someone who feels so attacked by the title of a damn TV show. 

there are such things as self selective groups

You clearly don’t read the comments section of Breitbart.

“You could interpret this as discrimination if you want”

I’m only triggered by it because that’s my activation phras- CONDOR ASSET IS READY FOR COMMAND.

Shit, if they don’t like the title just don’t watch it. Not that hard.

I think I’m too old to have enjoyed Peak Bittenbinder while I was in Chicago, but I did find his 1994 contribution to The Chicago Tribune’s KidNews page here:

I don’t know if “tugging on their genitals” is the best way to throw the average pedophile off of his rhythm.

When I started college in Chicago in the mid-1990s, my university decided that the best way to prepare new students for life in the big city would be to hire J. J. Bittenbinder to give his crazy, crazy seminar. That seminar was my first real exposure to weird Chicago culture, and Mulaney’s account is not at all…

Uh, Ant-Man is confirmed to take place before Infinity War. Spider-Man Homecoming 2 is the first film dedicated to dealing with the fallout of Infinity War/Avengers 4.

this may be a bit of a banal observation, but i think this may have been one of the best-paced episodes of tv i have ever seen. it felt long enough to be a feature film, and i know that sounds like it dragged, but it didn’t. the dramatic beats were just so well done that they had time to breathe and the result was an…

So much fun to see Hiro Murai direct an episode of this after a long string of successes with ‘Atlanta’. The director of one of my favorite shows directing another of my favorite shows. Life is good.
