“It could happen to anyone” should be used more generally, not in reference to Nexium. I can say with confidence that I would always have seen through Nexium, but it’s not impossible that a cult offering different ‘solutions’ more in line with my own values might have successfully preyed on me when I was young and…

He was the last person I expected to take the Roseanne route but I guess you never know who will snap.

Ruby really deserved better than this. From the moment we see her arrive as a talented musician annoyed with her sister, it’s all downhill. First, Christina rapes her by deception. Then Ruby herself is turned into a rapist with the store manager, eroding her dignity (having a sympathetic character sexually violate…

It’s ironic that this show spends so much time smugly satirizing rainbow capitalism and yet its only 2 queer characters are a villainous closeted evangelist and a bi female character who barely has an arc. 

Yeah, I was agreeing with them. 

Revenge rape can never be anything but disgusting, no matter who the target. I wouldn’t want to see that happen to Weinstein or Cosby even though they are far more monstrous than that store manager.

It would be one thing if Kwame said he was curious about dating women, but the show makes it very clear that he is disgusted by cis women’s bodies and only wants to sleep with a woman in reaction to his assault. He wants to use a woman to get over his trauma.

It’s not the same as with trans people, because it’s about *who you’re attracted to*, not your personal identity.

I am not sure anything will change your mind on this because you seem very certain, but I can tell you from personal experience that a straight woman did this exact thing to me and I felt incredibly violated.

I’m not super impressed with the Carl/Sissy plot line, but I think the Carl defenders are missing some key points. Carl’s status as a ‘good’ husband is based on the very bare minimum - that he doesn’t cheat and hasn’t yet institutionalized his son against his wife’s wishes. He’s still a man who treats his wife like a…

Is anyone else creeped out by Ben possessing Klaus’s body against his will? I could have done without that scene.

Thank you for pointing this out. We can say we’re mad that her host persona doesn’t match her normal personality, but that will apply to A LOT of people. A lot of people in that industry are famously vicious, Ellen is not the only bad apple. 

First, this show had Theo, who was violated by a guy who took pictures of her during sex without her consent, sent those pictures to other kids without her consent, but then turned out to be a far worse person because she faked aggravated rape, and suddenly those photos don’t seem as bad - their existence even saves…

I have never understood Cracker’s popularity either. We are constantly told she’s funny but it never comes across, and this is a big sin on drag race. She is the opposite of Alyssa, whose humor originally felt accidental.

In addition to implying that the Muslim kid from One Direction might be a terrorist, Bill Maher thinks there are ‘too many’ babies named Mohammed in the United Kingdom. When Fox pundits worry about there being ‘too many’ babies with Spanish sounding names in the United States, we all recognize that for what it is: an…

To be fair to Gilligan and the Breaking Bad writers, I think Skyler was written sympathetically and with more nuance than a lot of wife characters are given. Loads of reasonable viewers didn’t see her as a wet blanket trying to ruin her poor husband’s meth empire. It was just a particularly vocal segment of the…

Eric Goode’s Turtle Conservancy actually has a lower rating than Big Cat Rescue on Charity Navigator.

The irony is that it’s obviously Emily Yoffe who gets a thrill out of publicly denouncing women who accuse men of harassment, assault, or coercion. 

Robert Pickton really wasn’t very bright either - he also took forever to get caught because he targeted sex workers and authorities didn’t care about them so they failed to connect evidence etc.

Yeah, this guy is some kind of MRA douchebag, but that doesn’t change the fact that Katy Perry sexually assaulted him by exposing his genitals to a bunch of people. She doesn’t get a pass because he’s unpleasant.
