I can’t believe anyone’s still a fan of this guy. Maybe he was edgy and shocking in the 90s, but by the time I was a teenager he was already a pathetic dope whose fanbase mainly consisted of suburban mall goths who knew him from Hot Topic t-shirts . I’m not immune to finding shitty guys attractive; I used to be really…

What’s funny is that even when disabled actors play characters with disabilities they don’t personally have, the performance is usually far more accurate than if an abled person played the role. I’ve got OCD and the first time I ever saw the condition portrayed in a way that resonated with me and felt like an accurate…

I don’t have any problem believing this but she really needs to talk to the media at some point. Because in the absence of her voice they will take Cuomo’s side. He’s already released her personnel file to reporters. He has the potential to ruin her life over this. She needs someone in her corner.

I have OCD and the first time I ever saw the condition accurately portrayed was when Michael J Fox guest starred on an episode of Scrubs. He doesn’t even have OCD, but just getting an actor who is actually disabled seemed to make the role so much more believable and authentic.

The thing I’ve noticed is that neurotypical actors tend to do a better job playing characters who are only coded as autistic rather than characters who are explicitly autistic. My favorite example of this is Kyle MacLachlan in Twin Peaks. I have no idea if Agent Cooper was intentionally written as autistic or if he…

I don’t think it’s impossible for abled people to play disabled characters. It’s just that for the most part disabled actors usually do a better job playing disabled characters. And it seems like the real problem with this film is that the performance comes off more as mimicry than acting and it’s clearly not some…

It’s not about suffering. It’s about being believable as a disabled person.

This was the absolute stupidest thing he could have done. He could have owned up to what he did. He could have said nothing and rode out the controversy like so many famous men before him. But instead he chose the legal equivalent of punching himself in the dick.

I was surprised he still had so many fans. He used to be very attractive but now he looks disgusting and he hasn’t put in a good performance in about a decade. Not to mention his insanely racist appropriation of Native Americans.

Last night I dreamt that Trump won again so I poisoned him. I don’t know if I actually succeeded in killing him, the dream got very fuzzy after that.

I’m pretty sure my dad is buying all of these books. My dad’s sort of a neocon/Reagan Democrat whose been gradually coming to the realization that the Republican party is full of psychopaths. I guess these books are some kind of coping mechanism for him?

I think a lot of incels grew up being fed the idea that they should be able to attract superhumanly gorgeous women, regardless of their own appearance, finances, or general behavior. So when these perfectly ordinary guys inevitably get rejected because they’re only chasing extremely unattainable women, they either…

I think the original reason we put so much emphasis on the survivor narrative is because earlier narratives treated sexual assault victims as if they were unclean and defiled. You’ve got the myth of Lucretia and the countless stories of “honor killings” which make it seem like there is no path forward after sexual…

This is kind of why I hate the way people talk about abusers as if they’re a distinct group of people you can easily pick out from the rest of the population. Abuse is a behavior that anyone is capable of. Certain people are just more likely to do it because of ideology, background, or personality. 

Well it seems to have been the 74th Golden Globes based on her outfit. Maybe it’s Ryan Murphy? The People vs OJ Simpson won Best Miniseries that year and I’ve read rumors about him.

I actually have the type of OCD where you obsess over your gender identity and I’m absolutely furious she tried to weaponize it. I never desired to be male as a child or a teenager. As I began to hit puberty I slowly became aware that I wasn’t performing femininity the way my sisters and friends were and this made me…

Her internalized misogyny is so blatant in Harry Potter that I recognized it before I even had any conception of what internalized misogyny was.

I really used to like that pairing before I realized she just paired up the two most queer coded characters in order to make them seem straight.

Well not according to Rowling, but Alfonso Cuaron certainly seemed to think so when directing the third movie and he instructed the actor who played Lupin to play him as gay.

Yeah, I think people are just harder on women then they are on men, so all the blatantly abusive things Joe did in the documentary got ignored. They could have shown that story about the horse Rick Kirkham talked about in the after special and people would still have preferred Joe to Carol. Because Joe is a man who…
