For archival purposes, the first SU discussion to take place in the AT comment section after reviews stopped is here first, and here second.

At last I have, in going back through every AT review in my binge-rewatch, found the point at which we first invaded the comments with SU! I shall mark this moment down in history.

When I was a kid, there was a girl in my preschool (or maybe it was my church, I forget which) with two mothers. My parents just told me sometimes women fall in love with other women, or men fall in love with other men. It wasn't any harder to "get" than male/female love. I don't see why putting it in a book is any

Themysteryofgravityfalls.com is doing a letter-writing campaign to encourage Disney to give it the DVD release it deserves, so that's… something.

My friend used to pretend her Barbies were Pokemon trainers. I really have a hard time believing there's no market for making toys out of "action girls."

I know it's supposed to be ironic, but subtlety has no place on the internet. The terms need to be resilient enough that even the densest person will understand what they mean. Besides, scare quotes require you to use the shift key! who has time for that

7-11 was a part-time job!

My problem with the term "Social Justice Warrior" is that it sounds too much like a complement. Accusing someone of being like a warrior for their cause too often sounds appealing to the people who see social justice as some sort of competition to "win." Maybe something like SJ zealot would be more appropriate?

"Weird" is definitely the term I'd use. Also, speaking of weird, is there any other nationality that we have to put a qualifier in front of to specify we are talking about the people who originate from that country and not the people whose ancestors just immigrated there (I guess the Aboriginals in Australia are

Yeah, I wasn't really sure how to feel about the controversy at first, so I just waited until I heard the opinions of those who were actually of Native American descent. They seemed more or less OK with it and more happy about the representation her parents brought than upset about any misrepresentation she brought,

Tina in that dream dress looked so pretty! I mean, she still had that weird, gawky face that Bob's Burgers gives most people, but by this show's standards, that was adorbable.

I'm glad I'm so unobservant that I never realized until now that that was his voice. I might even forget it later!

I'd argue he's on equal footing with Greg Universe.

Let the dog decide what name it prefers! Each of you call the dog what you want to name it, and see which name it ends up learning!

I was disappointed at the lack of Easter eggs in this cartoon at first, then I realized that an entire half-hour of animation is probably worth it.

I never actually saw this video. The people in my high school who kept quoting it were really annoying, and I just sort of assumed it was something stupid not worth my time. Maybe… maybe I'll finally see what it's about.

Name him Dogdor

TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!!!!

No, I still haven't successfully landed on the Mun! My closest attempt ended in disaster when my ship began to fall into the Mun, I activated the retro-thrusters to slow its descent, and realized with horror that I'd been looking at the rocket upside-down the whole time. I nose-planted it into the surface and it
