I should not have to say this, but transphobic comments of any kind will not be tolerated here, or anywhere else. If you post any such material, expect to be blocked.

Look, people can culturally appropriate all they want. It is shitty and poor practice but no one is making it illegal. But so too can people talk about how shitty it is and refuse to buy or support those people.

So Hillary killed this dude but Anthony Weiner’s still alive? Puh-leaze

Love that this is what’s dominating conservative news today. You can smell the desperation.

This doesn’t make any sense. And cultural appropriation is a deeply troublesome form of injustice.

He makes jokes about liberals being butt hurt. It’s as bad as you’d imagine it to be.

I didn’t watch much but have seen a few episodes in passing....it was like the contrast between conservative dad Tim Allen and his liberal daughter and her liberal husband who I think was so progressive that he was a stay at home dad or something. Clearly a totally innovative and not at all generic plot that mined…

This stupid show has been on for six years? I’ve never even heard of it.

I obviously haven’t seen the show, but how does a regular ol sitcom espouse conservative values? What were the plotlines? A daughter gets pregnant because she’s only ever had abstinance only education and Tim Allen forces her to carry it to term but doesn’t contribute to the upbringing of the child?

This was still on? I thought it had been cancelled years ago.

“Hal Niedzveicki (a former Write editor) stridently defends the practice of cultural appropriation: “In my opinion, anyone, anywhere, should be encouraged to imagine other peoples, other cultures, other identities.”

Negron’s body was left uncovered in the street for six hours, which Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez says was an error in forensics protocol.

I don’t care if it’s a good guy or a bad guy

Right? Like... that’s a good thing?

That choice of words is so disturbing. Couldn’t have said something like “We should preserve the privacy and decency of the deceased”

“I don’t care if it’s a good guy or a bad guy—I will never allow that to happen again,” Perez told reporters.

“We hide the body” never sounds good.

The killer’s mother is a real piece of work too:

This is neither the time nor place for that kind of victim blaming. (There is no time or place for victim blaming, btw). Also, teenagers are not good at making decisions....especially when emotions are involved. I know I made stupid dating decisions when I was 17. So I guess what I’m saying is....no.

RIP Mercedes. I’m glad that you got justice. You deserved better.

Good. Can’t wait for him to rot.
