Right? It’s like the amount of times I’ve gone to starbucks and a barista has mistaken me for Jodie Foster!? And then a man in a limousine has pulled up and screamed, “we found you Jodie. That’s right. You can run but you can’t HIDE” and then shoved me into a trunk and brought me home to a strange woman who claims to…
I don’t know about Peak Twitter, but that is definitely Peak Starbucks. They even spelled “Jodie” wrong!
Somewhere, Leelee Sobieski is frowning at her Starbucks cup marked “Helen”.
Yeah, this seems the important point. Why should we accept white male as the default assumption. If those qualities are germane, somehow, to the plot, then so be it. But to not consider diversifying characters, and to get in the habit of diversifying them, keeps us stuck in the same characters all the time.
I mean, we’re not talking about creating characters and then gender-swapping them. We’re talking about a preproduction process where the writers might say something like “alright, and then Nate and Sam go into this old man’s house” and then someone says “what if it’s a woman?” and everyone’s like “hey yeah.” Maybe…
Diversity is a good thing. Looking at every character and seeing if they should be female seems complete crazy to me. It’s rare that the gender matters at all in games (I mean storywise, not representation),so how do you have that conversation?
Fifty years together.
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read.
Copy that and I will. It’s been tough the past couple of days to see all the coverage showing Bernie supporters as violent maniacs. People were not acting their best on Saturday, but it is not nearly as one-sided as what is being published. There were significant errors on both sides.
I am not painting *you* as anything. I am also, in my way, as I mentioned up top, “a woman who supports Bernie,” although as a journalist I don’t throw my arms around any politician entirely and never will.
Can I blame the democratic party for running someone who America has rejected a few times now, and who’s politics seem to be pretty much moderate Republican?
I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just…
Word! Christina grew up watching Mariah and Whitney Houston shade the SHIT out of each other
Christina has done a good job of catching up over the years, tho. She can do things with just one look that very few shady queens can pull off.
Oh, honey, Mariah has been the shadiest bitch in all the kingdom since Xtina was prepubescent.
Also, how am I supposed to tell them apart? I mean, really!

And so many stories like this end up being revealed to be false, if/when something truly bad happens, nobody’s going to believe it, no matter the actual evidence. People have gotta stop crying wolf re: homophobia in/from the service industry.
