It is, in fact, what she said. From the article:

What’s objectionable about that? Paraphrased, it’s just “You can hurt someone with something that seems small and trivial in ways you might not expect, so try to keep that in mind.” Seems reasonable to me.

That’s interesting - where did you hear this?

“Can be spread” and “Is most likely to be spread by” aren’t the same thing. Skin-to-skin contact isn’t as likely to spread the virus as sexual contact. We need to be far less concerned with what bigots will do with information, since there’s no controlling that and they’ll make stuff up anyway, and far more concerned…

I think the people that agreed with the original tweet right up until the actual subject of that post objected to being cast in the victim role should take this as a teachable moment. Reflecting on your assumptions would have been much more interesting than this “you go girl” vapidity.

Taking the opportunity to rant (not at you!), but “neurodivergent” is not something you code for, because it’s an umbrella term that includes a bunch of specific conditions - Autism, Asperger’s, OCD, bi-polar, schizophrenia, etc etc. Those people might share certain difficulties be discounted by larger society in…

If the comparison isn’t fair, or meaningful, or enlightening, then not really. Any two things can be compared, but the word incomparable exists for a reason.

Two grown ups on their second marriages, and second go-rounds making their “honeymoon” an opportunity to have a family vacation with their newly blended families is not even a little bit weird.

You know what? I agree entirely.

Oh, I absolutely agree an adaptation doesn’t need to be slavish. There was a whole slew of teen comedies based on Shakespeare (10 Things I Hate About You, O, She’s the Man) and of course Austen with Clueless that were all very well received adaptations, largely because the makers clearly understood and respected the…

Well, that’s a misreading, as the creators already said, as posted elsewhere in this thread. She didn’t freak out at her hands, she freaked out at the room. And who doesn’t look in a mirror if they’re all of a sudden taller and a different ethnicity?

You’re right about the comic, but it doesn’t track with what happened in the scene (or with where they’ve gone with Kamalah’s powers in the show, and how they eventually dropped the body-transformation stuff in the comics): Danvers was clearly uncertain and then freaked out to be where she was (in a strangers room…

She’s not trying to repair her reputation: the reputation off of which she makes money *is* feckless rich person. She’s trying to get attention, because that is the business model, of which outlets like Jezebel and writers like yourself are an integral part.

You’re defending this as “not bad” because it was generically competent filmmaking, while everyone else is critiquing it as a bad adaptation of a specific book. I’d say you’re moving the goalposts, but I think you just kind of wandered into the wrong stadium.

She would have been about 14 years old when Cheney finished his last term and more-or-less dropped out of public life. He has never been a decision maker while she has been an enfranchised adult. He’s a trivia question.

Dude, I’m GenX and you sound like my grandfather, had my grandfather been a reactionary moron. The people with the least power and influence on the system are not the ones responsible for these issues. What do you think the average age of a Trump voter is? The average age of the Supreme Court Justices, or any of the…

Updating the “narcissism of small differences” Wiki with a link to this article.

Allowed? Getting responses appropriate for those of a a dumb snarky asshole does not prevent you from being a dumb snarky asshole. Seems like you’re looking for validation, which, again, speaks to your emotional fragility. Maybe Jezebel’s comment section is too rough for your sensitivities?

I think characterizing two lines of mild sarcasm as relentless mocking might indicate some emotional fragility, but what do I know.

They aren’t even updating their own masthead, there’s no way they’re paying any attention to the comments.
