And talk about a murderer’s row of up-and-coming actors.  I would have never believed it if someone told me in 2004 that quite literally every top billed actor in that movie would, 15 years hence, have better careers than Lohan.  

I recently rewatched Mean Girls, and the whole time I was wanting to reach out to young, fresh faced Lohan and desperately warn her to make better choices...

...you mean after he’s spent weeks/months grooming her and takes her to a hotel and sedates her? That part?

That’s a lot of words to essentially say “I’m into underaged girls!”

Yeah, he seems fun

It’s hard to engage in a discussion in good faith when the other person has already decided and declared that “if you disagree with me, it’s not that my argument was bad, it’s because you’re intolerant”.

Instead of writing this long-ass paragraph, you could have read up on standard ethics guidelines in literally any context.

Probably because no one, ever, in the history of time, has ever wanted to discuss that in good faith.

Also, because it’s not fucking relevant for this book. Nothing consensual, empowering, or even just vaguely positive happens within or because of the central relationship in “Lolita.”

“even suggesting something about agency”

Guys justifying a series of increasingly creepy moves with “it was true love” is pretty in line with the romance genre.

So blackface is cool with you? It's acting, right? 

>> Autistic people should have the same professional opportunities as anyone else. Obviously. But there are other factors at play that go into casting someone.

Submarine commanders are not a marginalized/disenfranchised group, and unlike autistic actors they are not struggling to find good roles in Hollywood. The comparison does not apply.

Hard to prove/disprove when those actors aren’t given opportunities. And especially when disabled/differently abled actors are usually relegated ONLY to those roles in the first place.

*thinks about it*

Okay but seriously:

Also, dude was suspended after his students went to the dean. I like how the definition of "cancelled" is broad enough to include temporary disciplinary action handled through normal workplace channels. 

“The students said some of them had voiced their concern to Patton during his lecture, but that he’d used the word in following class sections anyway. They also said they’d reached out to fellow Chinese students, who ‘confirmed that the pronunciation of this word is much different than what Professor Patton described…

If I ever win the lottery one of the first things I’m going to do is make a full length movie using Cameo and having the people involved unknowingly star in it.
