On the one hand, yeah, “grooming” is becoming the new “gaslighting,” which people adopted to because it was a cool word that they thought they could use interchangeably with “lying.” But we already HAD/HAVE a word for lying. We called/call it lying.

I can’t believe I’m having an opinion on Miranda Sings, but it certainly doesn’t seem like she wanted to fuck these kids, so grooming doesn’t seem apt. I will admit that dumping your emotional bullshit onto a bunch of teenagers is abusive, but “exploiting him for the free labor of posting on her social media accounts”…

Enough with the knee-jerk use of the term “grooming.” It sure sounds like she was/is a manipulative asshole, but was she using her celebrity status to entice minors into sexual activities with her?

“From body shaming to being sexualized on stage” is not grooming. Oversharing, verbal abuse? Not grooming.

Who is her PR Crisis manager, Frank Reynolds?

Okay, stop using the word fridging, because I don’t think you’re 100% sure what it means. It’s not just a blanket term for literally every time a female character dies. Black Widow made a willing sacrifice for the whole universe, fighting her longtime partner all the way over who would get to make it, which is…

My problem is that every time a female character gets so much as a nosebleed, someone uses the word “FRIDGE!!!!”

Of course it has been a major problem. 80s action movies are horrible about it.

Most Steven Seagal/Chuck Norris movies seem to involve a murdered and/or raped woman to motivate them. And then the hero ends…

Folks, stop trying to make Agents of SHIELD canon.

I’ve been shipping Agatha Harkness and White Vision for a while now so if Secret Invasion doesn’t give us that couple like we were promised I will be VERY ANGRY and talk about it on TWITTER!

Secret Invasion is also supposed to give us the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, and Mephisto is going to be the secret villain behind everything.

“But Secret Invasion was supposed to be the show that finally gave Maria Hill the development and due she should have been accorded”

Comic book death is always a cheap stunt to take characters off the table for years at a time. Willing to believe that was an LMD until proven otherwise...but if the season ends without proof, that will be quite the disappointing way for Agent Hill to go.

“Scattered across the globe”

Yes, that’s exactly what he’s doing.  Then they’ll sell the entire thing for parts.  It’s 80's corporate raiding with a new skin.

Despite what certain people would have you think, people won’t think you’re a weird misogynist incel for shrugging off a movie like, eh, it was pretty mediocre and not for me. This goes for The Last Jedi and the Ghostbusters reboot, too.

Mediocrity is a perfectly reasonable reason to not like a movie. If you think the actor’s performance was bad, also valid. However not liking a move because the lead is a “woke bitch with a flat ass” is not OK. 

Pixar is becoming a little predictable. And while they continue to mine interesting topics (death, after life, emotions, immigrants) these aren’t topics that get kids saying ‘I want to see that’. There’s also the fact that everyone knows they’ll be on Disney + within months - and if you’ve already paid for that, why…

I’m convinced Elon never had any friends growing, and now that he’s super popular with the terminally online right he will do anything to please them.

Do you ever wonder if maybe you’re not cut out for writing “funny” material?

I worship Jack Kirby, but this is absolutely true. Stan hogged credit, he sometimes hurt feelings, and Marvel treated Kirby atrociously by not preserving/returning his artwork. But Lee wasn’t Bob Kane— a front man who contributed almost nothing to his most famous creation. Lee provided the VOICE and the TONE of…

Totally. The X-Men are popular today not because of anything Stan or Jack did, but because of what Chris Claremont and his subsequent collaborators did (there’s a reason the original X-Men got cancelled).
