Educating people is important but if that’s the stated intent, we should examine whether that’s actually happening. Other commentors have pointed out that this piece was in a sculpture garden that is treated as a sort of artsy playground--not the sort of place conducive to solemn reflection. Is that really a good…

Man, her back story is so dark. Like sudden-descent-into-horror-game dark.

Read The Red Tent by Anita Diamant.

This is my very favorite game and you are a wonderful person for posting a GIF of it when I’m having a tough week.

Dude. Get on the “Jon and Meera are twins” train. At least that lightly-supported theory would have interesting implications.

You mean someone whose most-touted “qualification” is their inherited wealth? Someone whose temper gets in the way of ruling? Someone only interested in the fortunes of their own family and name to the detriment of the kingdom? Someone creepily obsessed with their children? Sounds familiar...

Like - can someone just tell me who gets the throne?

God, that fan theory annoys me. Beyond the frankly lackluster evidence for it, it just sort of undoes Tyrion’s character if it’s all just The Prophecy.

I’m honestly curious what you like about Big Bang Theory. The show is incredibly popular so there must be something appealing about it but I’ve never heard what that is, exactly.

I’m not a misogynist, and I’d like to not be judged on assholes I’ve never associated with.

What is the difference between being a good man and being a good person?

Given that you have spent something the entire duration of this comment thread attempting to explain your particular interpretation of “MRA”, it seems likely that finding a different label would be more efficient.

Laws are what define rights and responsibilities. Legally you cannot be denied care, thus it’s a right with the responsibility to pay for the services.

If inclusion in the Constitution is a criterion for what constitutes a right, you’ll have to change your position on health care being a right. You’re intentionally conflating “right” in the colloquial sense as it’s used in the article with “right” in a legal sense.

Not at all. You have the right to access health care in the US. However someone must still pay for the services rendered. That is where the privilege kicks in. To have someone other than the person who gets the service is a privilege.

I see a lot of these discussions that end at decrying someone for writing outside their identity, period, not a question of whether or not they do it well or what the broader effects of discouraging writers from thinking beyond the default white perspective.

The first episode at least was a lot of “men today aren’t real men” and “boy, aren’t millennials weird aliens that enjoy stupid things and don’t understand real life?”. I’m actually a bit impressed that they could stretch that material for six seasons.

The most appropriate reaction.

It also seems more than a little disingenuous. They care so little about cultural appropriation that they will (ostensibly) read an article about it and then write a comment. Sure.

So he chose intentionally inflammatory language and is now experiencing the consequences of that inflammation. Should we feel sorry for him?
