Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo would like to have a word with you in 1990

“cLoSe To TrIgGeRrEd”

OK, Boomers

This is the same thing as saying “well they just should REFUSE TO SEE COLOR, because if you can’t see color, you can’t be racist!” And it’s absolutely a form of soft white supremacy that ignores the real lived experiences of Black and biracial individuals as well as individuals simply perceived as being Black.

Critics don’t mind POC playing white characters because there’s no such thing as “whiteface” or “reverse racism,” and in fact Hollywood is SO whitewashed in who gets to play which roles that having a POC play a person who was IRL white counts as a “daring artistic move.” (See also: “Hamilton.”) Hopefully, in the next…

That article title is just *chef’s kiss*. It could’ve been a headline used on a newspaper in a Golden Age-era “Simpsons” episode.

huh, I’ve never seen a salad so big yet so devoid of any substance

...maybe do a little research on the history of “One Drop” laws and the perception of whiteness in America before making additional comments on the subject

Good. This was the only issue I had with CP, especially since they seemed to otherwise go out of the way to hire actors who fit their characters.

Also as much as I LOVE her husband Jeff Richmond’s music - like, it’s seriously the perfect compliment to the worlds built in Fey’s comedies - the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” theme song is pretty much a minstrel performance. Which sucks because it’s IMO such a great theme song, it’s up there with the best of those…

There is a distinct divide between Diaspora Japanese people and Japanese people form Japan in terms of attitudes about what is “offensive/appropriative/hurtful.” I won’t claim to speak for it since I am not either of those, but the situation is complicated and I don’t think a white American woman is in a great place…

Remember how Fey was miffed at people for being put off by the one “Kimmy Schmidt” episode where a group of offended college students protest Titus’s yellowface routine, only to come around because he sang so beautifully in full geisha costume? And that people who called it out said stuff like “well he’s Black…

The saddest part about Daria being on streaming is that the original musical “score” for it - samples from MTV-played songs of the current day - are entirely missing due to license restrictions. And man, some of those cues are just *chef’s kiss* spot-on in terms of scene transition and emotion. A particularly…

2 Deep 2 Sea

That’s it. Yup.

The “avalanche of supportive letters and emails showering down upon me” reminds me of an OLD “Family Guy” joke, in the episode where Peter secedes his house from the USA, starting a country called “Petoria.” When Lois expresses doubts he brings out letters sent by all these dictators: “‘Nice goin’. Libya.’ ‘You the…

I’ve wondered if she was dysphoric. Maybe Harry Potter as a character was her way of expressing her male persona. Stranger conclusions can be drawn, IMO.

IIRC, “TERF” was made up by TERF’s themselves. Not “trans activists” (which, no doubt, includes any trans* person who speaks out about their own humanity).

it was a sarcastic statement

Also cut with a chainsaw?
