Ya know, if they ever do try to tackle it, a somewhat logical method might be that what caused their rift is their own confusion on the subject. It'd be a nice meta way to talk about the fandom's obsession over it.
Marceline being a (half) human girl and PB being a piece of sentient bubblegum, they might have walked

Did… did that make sense in your head?

…. You do realise that is 100% bullshit, right? Women have been FIGHTING for the right to die on the front lines just like every other soldier. And please SHUT THE FUCK UP about the draft. You can complain about it when the possibility it might ever actually be used again happens. As is, it's pretty much the

Sooo… Dr. Eric's epic meltdown was totally a Cthulhu reference, right? That was some serious "In the Mountains of Madness" shit right there.

I know we only really got, like, half a second of his laugh, but was blue-shift thingy voiced by Mark Hamill? Could there be a connection to the Fear Feaster or Faerie King?

Both of those instances were non-magical people in wholly non-magical environments putting it on. Maybe being magical or even just being around magic gives you a baseline resistance to its effects.

You could also say it established more of Jake's nearly sociopathic disregard for people other than himself, another crucial plot point in this episode.

I wouldn't call KKW an asshole. That final scene was incredibly tender. He just has no idea how to communicate with his dad. Probably because he's seen him twice. The far too common lament "excellent idea, horrible execution"

We should lobby for "mental gymnastics" in the Olympics. We'd take home gold every time.

I've always found this line of reasoning funnny. It's sort of saying "Ha,IN YOUR FACE! The Democrats have learned and matured as a party, while we've regressed to a shallow mockery of our former glory!"

Yes, because having the most prosperous economy in decades is always a clear sign of distress…

I guess you prefer wanking to the likes of Deer Hunter III and Spintires.

Umm… still kind of ironic, in much the same way your example is ironic. It's counter to their ideals, since it preaches anti-violence and egalitarianism right along side nihilistic fatalism.

Fair 'nuff. Still disagree, but hey, we kept it civil and intelligent! By internet standards, that's like peace in the middle east.

Dynasty Warriors isn't really a good example. It is already a massive cultural and anachronistic hodge podge, did a massive setting shift in Warriors Orochi, and there were a number of alterations over the course of the series, some that worked and some that didn't. Dynasty Warriors 1 is completely different from

Bias tends to work in margins and increments. Before the Civil War, there were free and successful African-Americans. Doesn't change the deplorable situation for all the others. So no, it's not that there are 0% that pass, but that it is even over 50% that fail that is the problem. Hell, it should probably be more

I have seen plenty of movies and said "the movie was ruined by it's treatment of women", so while you might not verbalise it that directly, yes, well represented and depicted women improve the quality of a movie by virtue of not sucking.
It's not always about positive growth, but the reduction of negatives.

You know a way to make a really good movie? Have a diverse, interesting cast that speaks to many people.

If you can suppose a single viewing of something violent or horrific is capable of imprinting and hurting a child, why would a culture of gender bias NOT harm them?
Now, I'll be honest, I think the MPAA is a crock of crap itself (which is sexist and heteronormist itself), so not that vested in including another type of

Well, it in fact DOES say something about which films get made. And that is an important question. Are people seriously not writing enough scripts that can pass such a simple test? Or is Hollywood scared of including such a basic thing as non-male-centric female interaction?
