Especially considering that he fully admits to everything he’s accused of, could we not at the very least disqualify him from awards contention?

I don’t want to delve into the question of whether a confessed sex pest should get to win any awards ever again, but I can say that I still think he’s gross, and that if I were in a position to vote for him to win an award I don’t think I could bring myself to do it, and that I can see how if I were one of the women…

And, really, we could leave it right there (Maybe for good! That would be nice!)

If those hospital staff did indeed report her to the authorities, they and the hospital need an enormous HIPAA investigation mounted against them, and whoever was involved in it need to have their licenses permanently revoked.  

It’s the case of a web site designer who wants to be able to post on her site that she refuses same-sex couples as clients, in defiance of a Colorado law. She claims the law violates her First Amendment right to free speech.

I keep saying it and saying it and saying it, but for years trans people were trying to remind our peers in the LGBT community that they needed to care about the “T” because this wasn’t gonna start and end with us. I’m proud that a lot of people I do know in the LGBT community have worked through their transphobia and…

Frodo asks The Fellowship for directions. Then he asks Gollum for directions. 

The masculine perspective in LotR is pretty all-encompassing, it’s true. Peter Jackson even expanded Arwen’s role considerably, and she’s barely in it. She, Galadriel, and Éowyn are the only women with any particular agency or significance (unless you count Shelob.) It’s honestly pretty glaring given the immense scope…

The Bechdel Test was always more useful in the aggregate than as a critique of individual works, which is the opposite of how it’s usually deployed. It’s possible to make a good movie about just men, or just women, so often it’s easy enough to defend any given film. It’s only really damning when you realize that most…

I have to assume that question was not asked in good faith. 

I would hazard a guess, though, that given the way you describe yourself, you don’t get misgendered very often and called ma’am, do you? So you’re not going to be the one who gets offended by this, because it’s not an issue for you, so maybe this is an issue you should step back and listen on rather than declaring…

Calm down, Margaret, and loosen your corset strings.

While that’s true, it’s the same argument people made for years about using blackface: the character using it was always an ignorant asshole. They were the butt of the joke, not Black people…but it was usually the same tired joke used over and over and seemed more like an excuse to use blackface.

You’re absolutely right but...

Given how many unfunny assholes on Twitter have “comedian” in their bio, I’d say there’s an overlap.

Have you ever been to LA? Everyone is self-promoting all the time. It’s neither admirable or takes guts or whatever, it’s just annoying and desperate. Flappers is literally next door to this theater if she wants to go to an open mic lol

Dojo is rad. Her music is rad. Her choice to give it up due to the exploitative nature of show business and the fucking entitlement/inherent shittiness of people is rad.

There wasn’t social media and Elvis wasn’t arguing with weirdos online, but there’s been fans standing around hotels looking to see glimpses of a musician since before I was born. Perhaps not to take selfies, maybe just there to get their autograph or perhaps stab them a little bit. You know, “real” fan stuff.
