They would LOVE to trot her out as their token. “Libruls won’t be able to play their gender card then, haw haw!” (Conservatives are known for laboring under the sexist misapprehension that Democrats won’t attack another woman if she’s evil or unqualified. Snrk.)

Bullshit about her ever having been a moderate. Long before Trump she was antichoice, anti public school, pro stop and frisk, pro voter suppression, anti labor, and tried to make BDS a felony. Since Trump, on top of all that, she’s been warmongering her ass off, sometimes in defiance of the UN - even pulling the US…

“I believe that in theory people should help each other and have rights, but I will do nothing to make sure that happens in practice”

“fiscally conservative, socially liberal”

The gross part is how many “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” folks still think she is “a moderate”. I don’t fucking get it.

What were your views on River Song and Missy?

It’s amazing to finally have a female Doctor, but let’s not celebrate this development by misrepresenting its past. Doctor Who has always been one of the most progressive shows on television from the day it first aired to the night when Jodie Whittaker uttered “Brilliant” (let’s also not forget that one of the show’s…

THANK YOU! My first thought on seeing the headline was Ace. I mean, and Leela and Nyssa and Sarah Jane and... well, most of the Doctor’s companions really. But McCoy is my Doctor and Ace is easily my favorite companion.

Professors of Moral Philosophy must have a lot of free time to work out.

Classic Who had a few strong women. Tegan, Sarah Jane, Ace, Romana ,and of course Leela.

I believe Sophie Aldred once said that her greatest achievement (after her kids) was hitting a Dalek with a baseball bat. She wanted it printed on her tombstone.

Martha/Freema really had the misfortune of being the first new companion after Rose basically created an entire legion of fan girls who only cared about her and the Doctor getting together and so hated poor Martha for being her replacement.  But she got some great episodes with him! Season 3 and 4 can be argued as the…

Counterpoint: Ace. That is all.:)

Even if she was not my favorite companion, I think Martha had some of the best “sci-fi” episodes of the new series. I love the giant traffic jam one.

It’s amazing what you won’t find when you don’t look for it.

After all this wailing showing the most toxic, racist side of fandom this is the Ciri actress. Funny how they all could’ve just waited like normal people instead of making asses of themselves because of rumours

That’s a fair point, but has absolutely nothing to do with this article or Batman: Damned. This article was about the people at DC still not being sure whether or not it was a good idea to show the batwang. 

I feel like DC’s being really super weird about this. I guess their definition of mature storytelling now is just saying “fuck” a lot? Seriously, I didn’t pick up the book because I had no interest, and showing/not showing a little genitalia isn’t going to affect things.

Jesus Christ, this whole thing is so dumb. You create a mature line of comics, but then start to rethink that after people talk about your mature line of comics?

And here in Quebec we make PG comedies with full-frontal nudity in them. Stupid Americans.
