I think that’s a very well-defined distinction. As someone put it below, if someone’s race is part of the context of their role, then removing race becomes a lot more odd. That seems like a very appropriate razor for why a white MLK feels so wrong (or a black slaveholder would feel wrong), yet a black Luke Skywalker…

You know what really gets me about it? We’re told that the choir of children practiced all year long - And all they sing is “Ding dong ding dong.”

For my dude, pretty much all lingerie is more work than its worth, which makes me a little sad because I think it could be fun. If I tried to wear any of these get ups, I imagine he’d be laughing too hard to pretend he liked it. I can’t even take away the wings on them and think “yeah that’d be nice”.

If I wanted to make my husband stare at me strangely and go “What are you wearing” yes, I would buy one of those outfits.

THAT song is perfect for what is playing inside a serial murderer’s head. Siiimply.. havin’.. a wonderful Christmas time (STABSTAB).

When I hear those first few synth notes and I can’t turn it off, I just want to curl in a little ball and cry.

False equivalencies really grind my gears!

Even considering various fictional characters, there are some identities that can’t BE rewritten as a different race, because their race is so important to their role, message or experience. Creativity isn’t always an excuse to just do whatever the hell you feel like with someone else’s story, especially if it turns…

White people flip shit when an entirely fictional character isn’t white. Seriously, test a black Spider-Man or a Latino Batman and see what happens.

Good for her. Black people have so few roles and she has that right as did brect, Williams & others. The director had a good heart but in the world we live in he is decontextualizing king

That opening Boing...BOING! Boing...BOING! synthesizer noise makes me twitch involuntarily no matter what season I hear it in. If I ever meet Paul McCartney, I will tell him to fuck right off for making that song. I don’t even care if he actually wrote the damn thing, his version is the most prevalent.

Oh my god, the synthesizer of my NIGHTMARES

While we’re at it, can we delete “Baby’s It’s Cold Outside” from all Christmas playlists?

It is really good. Watch it!

Seriously, all I could think was:

I hope more than anything ever in my life that she was paid to be there. Not only because that means Trump has to pay people to make him look like he has diverse support but also because she was paid to give zero fucks and read her book. Can she start a book club? Can we pay her to sit and read during all the GOP…

The bottom line is, you usually have NO fucking idea what’s really going on in a relationship, even if you’ve decided that you can fairly deduce what has happened in any particular situation. I’ve been on the other end, where I’m in a relationship with someone that’s not treating me right in any way, and know people…

He’s the one who deserves the wrath for breaking commitments and not being there for his pregnant lady, but she can be an asshole, too, since she knew.

He wasn’t married.
