It’s really exhausting to see how many comments here boil down to “as an able-bodied person, I think disabled people are just too sensitive.”

Man. I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised that the comments on this article are so different to the comments on last week’s Constance Wu/whitewashing article, but I am. Basically, it appears that “chill the fuck out” is the consensus here. The one movie of the year about a person with a serious disability — not…
Cheese and rice, I am NOT making fun of her weight. I’m pointing out her lamentable hypocrisy about her size. She just, and I mean JUST, responded to body shamers for making fun of her normal, American-sized ass with a cool-headed “this is me. suck it.” and turned right back around with the Myspace angle pic of a…
According to Drunk History, Woodrow Wilson’s wife apparently made decisions for him after his stroke. #badassfirstladies
Fuck progressive comedy. Asian countries are known for using slave child labor. The joke was not great but you little girls need to learn the difference between jokes about nationality and race. PC is nothing more than communist group think to suppress free speech.
Yup. It’s starting to feel like a gratuitous pile-on, or getting a stab in when he’s already taken a blow. Especially three days after the event. I feel like people were maybe almost waiting for him to fail and when he didn’t the tactic changed to “look at me, I’m so woke I can criticise a black comic who is talking…
Much of Rock’s Oscars routine was poking fun at people taking #Oscarssowhite too seriously over other issues. And now those same people who took that too seriously are taking Rock’s Oscars routine too seriously over other issues.
1. Claiming Rock is racist because of Good Hair is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. The whole fucking point is that it’s an investigation on the effects of racism on western beauty standards.
Uh, did you actually watch Good Hair?
Enough already. Seriously, you guys have bigger problems.
sorry, but wasn’t the joke more about a country that uses child labor more than a joke about an ethnicity?
Thank you! I feel the same way only you dressed it up with better words.
Now, I am pro-choice. I’ll stand up for your right to have an abortion. Hell, I’ll drive you to and from the clinic. However, please, don’t call it a parasite. It’s not. Call it a fetus. An embryo. A collection of cells. But to call it a parasite means that is how you feel about everyone until they are born and…
I am 10 weeks pregnant and I was to hug you so bad. I am so so sorry for your loss. Pregnancy does suck, my baby is not a parasite. The other embryo I aborted was also not a parasite, it was just a potential future baby I wasn’t ready to have.
I am pretty uncomfortable with you calling an embryo/fetus a parasite invading a body. I say that as a pregnant woman whose had an abortion. I don’t think you are going to gain points with anyone with language like that.
While I am pro-choice, I find your descriptor of an embryo/fetus lacking.
Neither of those words originated on Twitter. They’re common, everyday words people have used for ages much like how they’re used in Owen & Kenobi’s dialogue.
They should have cast a black actress as an Irish immigrant instead of Saorise Ronan.
Ok, what I hate about the “there’s no minorities nominated” gnashing of teeth is that no one ever says WHY one of their examples of snubbees deserved to be nominated over one of the ones that were nominated. There’s a limited number of nominees, right, so if a minority deserved it, who DIDN’T? Did Idris Elba deserve…
