100 % agree. This piece is better than the movie itself! It just did not do it for me.

It’s not a world-ending sin (I still want to touch your chest, Chris Evans! CALL ME) but I feel like if they wouldn’t make a lazy racist crack about Nick Fury then they shouldn’t be making lazy sexist cracks about Black Widow.

(EDIT: That’s why I’m not really down with the ‘But she’s just a fictional character!’…

One of the things I loved about Winter Soldier is that she and Cap DON’T get together.

I feel like I'm falling into two camps here. Like, honestly the outrage over it feels kind of... Manufactured. It's like people heard it and were like "Oh, here's something we can be pissed off about." Like a dumb joke in an interview doesn't deserve nearly this much attention.

okay i’m admittedly biased here (we all know my love for chris evans runs really deep), but i feel like the outrage for the whole thing is disproportionate. Yes, it was a dumb-ass thing to say. It was a juvenile answer to a fucking dumb-ass question. i mean really. what is even a real answer to that question?

This narrative just reminded me how exhausting my 20s were.

“Wandering around” makes it sound like these two were out on the streets, weren’t they staying in a hotel? And the hotel clerk who “found” them is, well, the clerk there? This story is still weird, but this version makes it sounds a lot more nefarious.

I...what? Scalping isn’t a job. If you need to scalp dresses online to make a living, try getting a real job.

Starred for the excellent Neverwhere reference.

Unfortunately, some people respond to sweetness and light with a sort of avid viciousness. Full-on Vandemar-and-Croup style of “there’s something nice and pretty, I’d like to completely destroy it.”

SRSLY. I just came here to say this. I need this woman's hair right now. How dare she look so well kempt in a goddamn field.

alconleigh: Hang in there you’ll figure it out.

I love this because

Good god. It's like the mid-nineties got duped into spending way too much money on ombré highlights and see-through dresses.

Skinny Shaming is skinny people going “but body acceptance movement doesn’t accept bodies that are already accepted by literally everyone.” Like, the fact that I’m supposed to make room and worry about the feelings of people who daily make me feel like a fucking alien galls me to no fucking end. Get that shit outta…

When skinny people are forced to wear huge swaths of cloth that make them look ridiculous from a lack of other available options, then I will have sympathy.

‘Skinny shaming’ is like ‘reverse racism’...highly questionable to me.

Good try, Lane Bryant, but no number of beautifully shot images of Ashley Graham will erase years of trying on asymmetric polyester garbage at your stores, hunting for the one or two items worth buying.

And it was then we all realized the way they could make an Uncharted movie that appealed to both gamers and those not familiar with the franchise...
