If you’re a healthy human being with strong immune system and loads of bacteria in your tummy that you’ve already been exposed to previously (which means your strong immune system knows how to deal with em), eating poop will most likely just make your mouth taste like shit. Most of the microbes in it, your immune…

I find her essay a bit problematic as well. She is very vague about describing her “sex work.” I looked her up, and found this in another article she wrote:

I guess that was my take on the discussion of Agustin’s writing and on this:

There’s this weird preoccupation on the left that the people who are best-equipped to fix a problem are the ones who have been direct victims of it. Which certainly does play a role, but doesn’t always necessarily pan out to positive outcomes in the real- someone who has spent a great deal of time studying and…

Aw man, I’m really sorry you went through that. I think that’s becoming an issue now, especially with people who are told that they have “privilege”. If you’re white, male, straight or able-bodied, you need to apologize for it. You feel like because you’re so privileged, you should feel guilty until you can right the…

I bite my tongue a lot about the Left’s tendency to eat its own because it devolves very quickly into a conversation about how mean the Left is about other folks’ opinions and behaviors. I do think that this tendency is hard for people who are on the perimeters of the movement, looking for a way in. Unfortunately,…

I think this is a serious problem with social justice as a whole right now. It’s become really self-destructive for the people engaging in it, and destructive for people outside of it when we see them as not behaving in ways/holding opinions we think they should for their assumed “privilege” level. I mean, it…

He reminds me of “Ow, my balls” in idiocracy.

It’s a weird world I find myself in where games in particular are not allowed to be nuanced AT ALL. They’re either dismissed as “shit” or they’re “awesome”.

Pewdiepie reminds me a lot of Harry Knowles in the early 2000s. Pop culture somehow latches on to him and considers him an expert, and his casual opinion costs others serious business.

“So it’s Pewdiepies fault that this game is shit?”

No Whats fucked up is you accusing Black folks of not accepting Zoe when She was clearly supported playing the role of black women (with two black parents) in Movies like Drum Line , Guess Whos coming to Dinner , Death At A Funeral. etc..

Facial features dont exist in a vacuum.

She's both. It's not mutually exclusive.

Fair enough for the culture of victimhood, but don’t forget that Nina Simone had a great career also, and she did make a lot of money.

That’s called identifying with you ethnicity/nationality. Africans do it all the time, especially when the topic of African-Americans comes up, but there doesn’t seem to be any sensitivity amongst us black people when Africans refuse to refer to themselves as black, but we’re up in arms when anybody from Latin America…

It’s a damn shame when people in the black community are castigating another black women for taking a role because she “isn’t dark enough”, whereas white people have been wearing makeup and prosthesis for decades.

Johnny Depp looked nothing like Whitey Bulger.

No. It’s not at all bad to feel sorry for Zoe, here. That makes you a caring person who prioritizes the well-being of a real person over an adherence to rigid ideology.

This entire comment thread and article is a case study in categorical thinking. It’s lazy. It’s the type of thing I’d expect to see from the far right.…

People keep referring to “the Simone estate” as “they” as though Nina’s royalties were sending these tweets. An estate consists of the assets of a dead person. Why doesn’t the person sending these tweets do it under their own name? It’s creepy to drag someone using a pseudonym like this. Is it Lisa Simone (as…
