With his recent additions, including the “I don’t see why you’re so upset” canard, I’m thinking this is yet another instance of a dude JAQing off on the Internet.

Yeah, say what you will about the pitfalls of modern “woke culture,” but I for one am happy to live in a world where this kind of bigoted argument, which was once depressingly common (people used to call Ellen DeGeneres, one of the normiest women in showbiz, “Ellen Degenerate,” for Chrissakes!), has fallen so…

That said, you aren’t required to bend the truth, unless you are trying to insinuate that your perspective on a person’s identity, a perspective that said person felt uncomfortable over and hid, is more important in framing a person’s history than how that person wants you to frame them.

I don't love Juno or Diablo Cody but eat shit. They're both miles more interesting than this trash response.

The idea that -or/-ress words as being male and female terms is pretty common, but given the general meaning of the -or/-er suffix is “one who does” it would be better to think of it as a neuter/female dichotomy. Like ‘janitor’ or ‘observer’, the word itself is not meant to identify a gender, and the fact that we have…

Looking up “deadname.” This is really enlightening! Double thank you.

Good for him. I had a fellow friend make a similar transition at the same time, ditching female identity to nonbinary. They bore such a resemblance to Page that I used to call them "Juno" wherever they got snarky. Elliot Page's public transition was a key reason why my friend felt similarly comfortable in shedding…

True, but typically that part doesn’t change when you transition; they’re two separate things. I just like the term “queer” anyway; it’s more encompassing. But everyone has their preferences.

As I said, if done right, The Twelve could be interesting and worth a watch and season. I think it would be worse if they closed out the series without ever showing and explaining who they are beyond mysterious, boring, bogeyman, because what’s the point then?

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of “take some things that don’t go together and make something appetizing from it” genre of cooking shows. I really liked the Claire Saffitz show, since that was more my style - try to make something as good as possible with few limitations, even going so far as doing multiple iterations to…

Bummed me out, too, since I was just getting into it. I tried to give the Sohla-Babish thing a try, but I hated the concept. Actually, I saw that show right around the time Babish started doing a ton of product pitches and crossover stuff with other youtubers, so I quit watching him altogether.  I lumped her in with…

I dunno. The xenomorph might be like “you people are fucking weird” and just nope right out of there.

It’s strange and nasty watching people come to the defence of Allen, somehow claiming that because Dylan’s mother may have been neglectful than her account must be false, despite the fact that Mia wasn’t even the one who wanted to file the police report. It’s gross, and my heart breaks for Dylan having an entire…

Cancel culture has always been more of a right-wing thing anyway. Cancel culture started with the Hollywood Blacklist, and continued destroying the careers of anyone LGBT+, the Dixie Chicks, Colin Kaepernick, and a bunch of other people. They’re only mad about it now because it’s being used against them.

it’s an embarrassing movie that panders to white boomer values.

They deliberately manipulated people with the Peters stuff.

I don’t disagree, haha!

Abigail Thorne of Philosophy Tube did a pretty good video about it.

Yeah, that’s the conversation we had with our ten year old (different words though). “If you don’t know what a word means, don’t repeat it.”
