“The trajectory of her fame (constant need for any type of attention, erratic behavior likely associated to abusing drugs and/or other mental illness, displays of narcissism, etc.) seems very similar to a lot of other doomed child stars”

Also, in honour of the Jezebel commenter who pointed out how ingrained the gender/age disparities are in Hollywood:

This is what it is, then? The potential of an alternative-feeling, feminism-leaning, actual-journalism cadre of meaningful, earnest writers of the storm, here at Jezebel?

Any word on making them less vapid? I hate the ongoing stereotype most of them underline that as a woman its shoes and abs and makeup and all things skin-deep that I am presumed to squee over.

“They’re just so pure and better than us humans.”

*Chortling and thinking about how wrongbadevil it was for others to care about not ruining the original Ghostbusters, for example. When its something -one- had an attachment to, then of course it’s wrong to remake it. When -one- didn’t care about it, then those people who cared are idiots. Now imagine they swapped all…

You both should sue for your tuition back, as Mammoths aren’t dinosaurs, they’re mammals, and roamed America the day before yesterday.

Made me cry, but straight up and straight down isn’t “orbit”, and 21 miles isn’t space. Still, looovely. Just looohvly. [Paul McCartney accent]

I’ve been working hard to raise a white guy, but have been convinced to smother him in his sleep tonight given how easily his future has been defined for him here.

Sorry, T-Pain, the Boy Scouts do popcorn instead. Nobody has any illusions as to how much lamer this is.

No, I’m afraid you’re quite incorrect. We’ve sequenced the human genome. We can compare the DNA of all peoples with great accuracy now. There are no differences between the DNA of someone we call “black” now and someone we call “white” now.

Every dreadlock I’ve ever been near looked and smelled dirty. I have therefore always assumed that one cannot wash dreadlocked hair. Is this not the case?

I read it as relying on the trope that men who like to fuck males are gay or bi. It wasn’t conflating the two, simply pointing out that a hetero male abuser would be more likely to molest girls than to stick just with males as the allegations suggest.
