A British accent?

Well duh, the British accent. There’s only one: Scouse.

A British accent?

I’m super liberal, and still find the majority of the content on Jezebel cringeworthy. The types of stories Jezebel 2018 publishes are the exact kind of extremism that gets spotlighted by the right in an effort to show people in the middle how crazy liberals are. Instead of growing the cause of progressive feminism…

Yep. But it’s important that we be mad about anything and everything I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aziz Ansari doesn’t deserve the level of vitriol directed at Louis CK et al. CK masturbated to his subordinates then blackballed them with his influence. Aziz Ansari thought he was getting a groupie one night stand, she thought it was a date. Neither of them clarified their expectations for the night. He was an…

He didn’t have any updates on poorly named criminal rappers today.

You’re right to an extent, but MeToo isn’t just the accusers and victims who have given voice to their abuse and it isn’t just the accused and abusers. It’s the internet mob and the coverage they eventually birthed in mainstream publications. What this does for that group is demand that “victims” not go unvetted as…

The problem is that the creators made a really big deal about Voltron including a gay character in their marketing, seemingly in response to fan desire for queer representation, and then gave the barest, most typical, and above all minuscule queer relationship they could. If you’re going to make it a big deal, it needs…

Well, and it also makes one wonder why Monahan was somehow fine with releasing chopped-up text messages. These were supposed to corroborate her story, so doesn’t that also count as “setting the expectation”? She’s talking out both sides of her mouth here.

I find this stance odd, “Mohanan told Minnesota Public Radio that she would not release the alleged tape because, “It sets the expectation for survivors of all kinds of forms of abuse, whether it be abuse toward women, abuse from police officers, abuse from other people in power, to have to be the ones, like I’m doing…

I guess I didn’t really pay attention to that storyline. Yes Shiro is gay, yes he had a squeeze who then died before they could be re-united. So what?  Voltron isn’t a love story.  It’s a cartoon about war with humor mixed in.  Now as for that family feud episode....wtf was that about.

That’s why I don’t like reading Charles’s diveristy articles. There are authors in the Gawker family that write good articles about diversity and the lack there of in some cases. Charles often starts with a faulty predetermined premise (like his “Westworld will be racist to Japanese culture” article), and fill the…

queer representation on screen continues to be so woefully lacking

Bex, the internet of fans don’t like it when you remind them that they are not in charge of the story and that there is no obligation to deliver the story they expected to see by the creative team.

I will bet you a crisp 5 dollar bill that a lot of those people “complaining” are not actually gay but people trying to stir the pot.  <<< I would bet the same crisp 5er that they aren’t even people trying to stir the pot as much as out of control ‘allies’.     

I will bet you a crisp 5 dollar bill that a lot of those people “complaining” are not actually gay but people trying to stir the pot. I know and follow many queer people and not a one of them were upset with Rose’s casting as Batwoman. Remember, there’s a large segment of “fandom” who are operating with disingenuous…

Between this and the Ruby Rose thing, is it just me or is there a bit of dogmatic purity problem among LGBTQ+ activists?

Plenty of pregnant women don’t have the option of not working and likewise many at-risk pregnant women should avoid physical labor. Not everything is a conspiracy “titled” against women. 

If we had to sit here and list all the ways, subtle and overt, that the working world is systemically titled against women, we’d be here all day. (But just to do a dab of due diligence: Unequal pay, sexual harassment, constantly getting talked over, double standards…It’s an unpleasantly unceasing list.”
