“Never” obviously isn’t true, but “very rarely” is indisputable. Put “interracial” into any porn search and look at the first several pages of results. It’s 90+% black men and white women.

while hopped up on pure human adrenochrome.

I guess look at Louis C.K. (NO WAIT DON’T LOOK): He jerked off in front of numerous women, it was well known, and nothing happened for years. That’s what typically happens in these cases historically, so if that’s the thing that gets a guy off, why not do it (y’know, besides the decency-based reasons)? The expected…

Yup. Their guard choices in particular are amazing.

The shittiest Olympians.

At his best he mostly looked pretty slow, tbh. I’m not really disagreeing with you particularly; I’m just saying that, even as he looked bad and poorly-integrated into the system, he was statistically very productive. If he were a healthy player who topped out at that level, there’d be no question this was a great…

Cousins still looked extremely good by advanced metrics last year. Certainly way better than you should expect from a dude making $3.5m.

I think the argument would be that the Civil War was sufficient ‘atonement’ for slavery and the modern US, flawed as it is, at least doesn’t have genocidal violence as part of its fundamental law. The trappings that carried over — name, colors, bald eagle — have been similarly purified by redemptive bloodshed.

I dunno about that last one — “We’re preemptively applying an authoritarian government’s censorship to all of our products, everywhere, because it’s super profitable for us” is pretty fuckin dark. Lying about it is at least somewhat less aggressively dystopian.

It’s probably wrong, but harmlessly so, and it’s important to force people to at least think about the possibility that officially endorsing slavery was an unforgivable sin for the early US. Like, yeah, why isn’t the flag of a nation with slavery enshrined in its founding document a symbol of racism?

Oh man, I thought you were joking. Klay is actually the absolute best, weirdest dude.

Rape by deception is a crime in which the perpetrator has the victim’s agreement and compliance, but gains it through deception or fraudulent statements or actions.

You’re 100% correct.

The joke is that Pete/Grammer is trying to trick the Barbies into sex by promising them parts in a movie, a reference to the sort of behavior epitomized by Harvey Weinstein. That is, it’s a reference to actual women having sex under threat of damage to their careers.

Right? Cousins is worth literally nothing, but KD is worth the max. This seems like one of those cases where more trust needs to be put in analytics over...whatever the hell they’re using.

The Wizards need to go sit in the corner with Dwight Howard’s contract and think about what they’ve done.

It’s weird, though, because he really isn’t. Even if he doesn’t get any better, he’s still a decent starter on most teams in the league. It’s just a weird inverse of whatever deranged instinct drove someone to offer Bismack Biyombo $80M.

I feel like people in these comments are interpreting it as a sex joke instead of a rape joke? Hopefully? Because otherwise I’m kinda horrified.

Does that change if you think about this as a barely-veiled rape joke? I mean, I’m as averse to cutting parts from old media as anyone, but it’s a pretty gross bit.

I still sometimes think about the dog barking, “Arugula! Arugula!”
