If it was the Honda guy down the road, he probably wouldn’t have been targeted like this.

Distinction: He didn’t make 10,000 pedo jokes. He made 10,000 tweets in total between 2007 and 2012. He tried to delete every tweet he ever made between in those five years, rather than weed out individual ones.

Are... are these tears?

Relative to the big names, I’ve been an infrequent commenter. But I’ve been a constant reader. I suspect I’ll still be there, lurking, wherever you end up.



In a non creepy way.

This. I’m still convinced Duncan Jones could have, and still can, make a great Warcraft movie. 

Angela Kang is taking over for Scott Gimple, not Greg Nicotero. Greg Nicotero has never been showrunner on The Walking Dead. The last showrunner before Gimple, Glenn Mazzara, left after Season 3.

Yeah, I can see that. I feel like it should go without saying, but if I give the opposite impression, I’ll clarify: I’m absolutely on board with #MeToo, and think we should listen to women (and men) who say they have been abused, harassed, or assaulted. I’m not one of the people crying “witch hunt” or “when does it…

It’s still in the grays, but yeah, I fucked up with my comment. I would edit it, but kinja doesn’t allow that past a certain time.

Fair enough. I’m just bad at math. I should have googled before putting my foot in my mouth. I wish Kinja had an edit option.

Dress codes for restaurants really baffle me. I say this coming from a family that’s in the food business, so I’ve dressed up for plenty of fancy restaurants. The idea that you have to dress a certain way in order to eat a juicy steak just strikes me as more than a little elitist. The only response I ever got from my…

It’s hard to say whether The Last Jedi’s reception had any effect on Solo’s box office. A more likely explanation, in my opinion, would be that the film came out in an overcrowded window with little time to run an effective marketing campaign.. If anything, people might have been wary about a Han Solo being played by…

Wait, who’s “we”? I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Last Jedi, but I don’t necessarily want to be lumped together with the people wanting tor remake it either. I’m a fan of the irony about it, I just feel like people get a bit lazy when they lump groups together like this. I mean, these guys are going to the effort of…

Yeah, the statistic I’ve seen is 0.6% for Trans. That’s not 2 million people. But I agree with the rest of this thread that n-washing of any kind needs to stop, and that when you’re casting a trans character, you should go for the trans actor who might otherwise have difficulty finding roles.

Once again, I hate defending these guys because this idea is so dumb, but the people remaking the movie aren’t the same group of people whining about “womens in mah Star Wars”. Their top picks for directors are all women, and they want to give a bigger role to Rose.

I’ll stay grayed for this, but based on what’s come out sense, I feel like they should at least consider giving Talking Dead back to Hardwick.

The group of people trying to remake The Last Jedi are not the same people that were harassing Kelly Marie Tran or “rebelling” from Disney. In fact, their top choices for “directors” are women, and they wish Rose had a larger role. They’re silly entitled quixotic fans, but they’re not silly entitled quixotic Nazi…

No X-Men: Grand Design - Ed Piskor’s retelling of the first three decades of X-Men continuity in the vein of Hip Hop Family Tree? It’s impressive what he’s accomplished with all these crazy comic book stories in just the first two issues, creating a coherent forward-moving storyline and universe out of all these crazy…

The writing’s fine. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the movie, it was just stuck with a bad release window that didn’t allow for sufficient marketing.

Asexuals aren’t oppressed to the same extent as say, transgender people, for the simple fact that they’re less visible..They do, however, face denigration (“you must be lying” “there must be something wrong with you, you must be sick” “I don’t trust you.” Speaking from experience, people can get weirdly hostile…

In the US, 1% of the population is asexual, vs 0.6% transgender. It’s just that ace people are less visible.

Asexual does not mean celibate. Asexuals can, and often do, have sex. They can even be in releationships. They just don’t generally experience sexual attraction, and if they do, often not in the ways other people do.
