Prominent American protagonists like Brazilian Eduardo Saverin.

Jordan Peterson is also a professor. And a fuckwit. Academic credentials don't make you NOT an asshole. Ben. Goddam. Carson.

Rowling has 14.2 million Twitter followers. She is not making an abstract point about feminism and activism. She is directly telling a subset of her followers that she genuinely believes that they have been tricked into transitioning from male to female, or that they want to be allowed to use the ladies’ room so they…

At one point she had given away so much money she came OFF the billionaire list.

Says the douchebag who gets upset over words that define bigotry towards disabled people and infers that autistic people can’t function on their own...

What Rowling has said is shit. Don’t defend this bigot she has more than enough money to do it herself. If someone says awful things they should be held accountable. 

I despise Rowling’s Transphobia, but I also really didn’t like that Alan Moore took an icon of contemporary children’s literature (Harry Potter) and literally made him the anti-christ because he didn’t think it measured up to the figures he grew up with (i.e. Mary Poppins, a.k.a. literally God)

“I don’t think J.K. Rowling is transphobic,” Izzard says. “I think we need to look at the things she has written about in her blog. Women have been through such hell over history. Trans people have been invisible, too.”

Yes, yes it can. Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean others don’t. Don’t be so dense. 

It’s particularly weird that Will’s dad says “The Authority” to his son, rather than “God”, a term he’d know his son would be familiar with unlike the term from Lyra's world which he'd have little reason to assume Will would know. Show shying away a bit from the theological implications, perhaps?

I loved the scene with Will and his father, it was heartbreaking. But getting ahead of that a little, I’m so tired of the “Oh, if I hadn’t abandoned you/was abusive to you/was distant from you then you wouldn’t have turned out so awesome! You see, it was a parenting tactic this whole time!” line so often employed in…

“We’re reliving the events of 2020.” Bracket responds, “Why the fuck would you want to do that?” It’s a good question, 

There’s a Se7en feel. Or maybe it’s just seeing two cops in a desert...

Congrats. Here’s your #1 asshole trophy.

buddy if it’s one thing i’ve learned about cocaine addicts over the years it’s that they don’t mind doing it alone in the house.

This is definitely a shock for me. I guess I’ve been sorta looking up to him as a fellow very nervous person who’s got it all together, more or less. For some reason this was the year for me where I finally managed to stay sober (after spending the greater part of 2019 hopped up on speed). And boy howdy, was it…

I quite like the Mandalorian, so here’s hoping they can get back to the S1 magic when half the episodes weren’t back door pilots for other shows.

Yeah... The had something decent on their hands with The Mandalorian, but then they gotta fuck everything up by being all fanservice-y and bringing Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker into this. Basically, the same thing that ruined the last movie. I’m close to not caring about any of it anymore.

“It is not, however, okay to dress up in blackface or an “Indian” costume, because people’s ethnic identities aren’t costumes and shouldn’t be trivialized as such.”

AH, the old “it’s called acting” argument. Look at it this way: when you’re picking out a Halloween costume, it’s fine to wear a doctor’s outfit, or a construction outfit. It’s fine to be Spongebob or Harry Potter. It is not, however, okay to dress up in blackface or an “Indian” costume, because people’s ethnic…
