Hey, I’m on your side, but claiming the moral high ground like you do with ‘because I am a caring person who believes everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect’ isn’t going to get you into conversation with anyone who’s actually fallen for Trump’s BS.  

I agree... although actually I feel like it’s the kind of attitude BoJack would have the other way around. Maybe the episode would have been better if the initial roles were reversed, so BoJack was the one trying to reclaim the muffins. He could have more obviously been umming and ahhing about them, then got annoyed

For the man behind Butterfield Direct and O News he has a strange attitude towards ‘parodies’.

I think it’s just a natural nervous response, they can’t help it. You know, like a spasm of some kind.

Yeah, he became pretty unbearable for me around season 3. He doesn’t get any better, but he does get less intrusive (he’s pretty much been relegated to the sidelines for the last few seasons, so he’s a lot easier to ignore).

It’s not a flag of the South though - it’s a flag of the Confederacy. Furthermore it is the BATTLE flag of the Confederacy. It is not representative of peace, it is representative of fighting to keep slaves.

Most of these aren’t revamps, they’re reboots or remakes. A better list would have been franchises that changed direction/setup during their run. An example would be Angel season 5; a slight change of cast with a massive change of setting, putting the team in charge of the law firm they’d been fighting against for

I still think 'mistakes' is appropriate. People get led astray. They find themselves in new circumstances, and they change, they don't know how to handle it. We know very little about what went on, and it's all pretty much unverified outside one not-altogether-unbiased source. If he did do what she accuses, then it

I always thought Joss was a great writer. And based on interviews and reports I thought he seemed like a considerate, compassionate guy. Nothing has yet dissuaded me from those opinions. Even if he's made mistakes both professionally and personally, who hasn't, who doesn't? If you thought he was perfect in either

Right. Better not to laud positive ideals at all than to be a hypocrite.

Have a national 'Burn a Nazi' day. Like Guy Fawkes night, but you burn Hitler or Goering (you can vary it with others - I'm sure many would burn Trump - but you set Hitler as your baseline). Make it a nationwide recognition that Nazis are BAD, because some people clearly aren't getting the message.

They should just call it 'Obi Wan', that'll leave them open to make 'Obi Two' and 'Obi Three'.

This is probably going to be terrible, but it should still be entertaining, at least for a few episodes.

It's not quite the same as leaving your heart in San Francisco, but it could make for a decent ballad.

I hope Trump quits/is pushed sometime in September/October/November. I want to see South Park's take on it. Maybe they'll even get to use their missed opportunity 'I'm With Stupid' as the title.

I don't see why those would be a barrier to practice if not law (although even that could be changed). It just involves everyone acknowledging that the Confederacy was in the wrong, in the way that Berlin has acknowledged that the Nazis were in the wrong. Taking down the statues is a good start.

I'm not saying the Nazis and the Confederacy were basically the same, though I am drawing an equivalence based on both sides fighting for abhorrent ideologies and both sides losing their respective wars.

Right - and there should be a similar approach to the Confederacy. Because when people glorify the actions and ideals of the Confederacy, you get protests like the one in Charlottesville, and the attitudes and actions of those involved. They just want to preserve the legacy of the Confederacy - but it is a legacy that

And you're still doing it. You're right about most of the details but you're using them to obscure the important point, the point that too many in America are ignoring - THE CONFEDERATES WERE FIGHTING FOR RACISM. This makes them BAD. Fuck whatever details you want to throw out about the Union being shitty too - they

I don't fully agree that there's always another choice (I've fortunately never been in a situation where I've had to be tested in that way, so I shouldn't like to say how one can react in those circumstances), but I do agree that the people you cite are the ones worth remembering, worth celebrating. No matter how
