Women aren’t delicate, fragile fucking things that cannot watch such unpleasantries without a proper fainting couch nearby.
If a dude invited me over to watch my favorite movie(Blade Runner), I’d consider him a catch.

Honestly, I would shop at Fat Girl Clothing for Fat Girls if I could find some decent, non-vanity sizing and well made basics. Stop with the useless, patronizing - fabulous size, queen sizes, curvy sizes. I’m a fat adult woman who does not need clothing tags to make me feel better.
I don’t know for sure because I’m not a writer on the show and therefore I don’t know what the idea is exactly, but from the little bit that Spellman mentioned there, it appears that it will be a show about how slavery never really went away and how modern institutional racism was germinated then and continues now.

Severen is my favorite popculture vampire ever. I mentioned over on io9 that there was something so American about him. The leather Ramones type decorated jacket, the grungy, messed up look complete with the boots with the spurs and the Texas charm with the under streak of unpredictability of always living by the seat…
I grew up watching genre movies so he was in a lot of movies I saw. My favorite role of his was the vampire in Near Dark.
Men do the same thing. Don’t believe me? Ask any of your female friends how quickly their random interactions with dudes can turn hateful. Far too often, as soon as we say we’re not interested (yes, even if we’re so, so polite about it), the ‘flirty’ dudes who were just telling us how hot we are/what they wanna do to…
Yup, totally agree. Based on her instagram posts and tweets about how amazing she is and how amazing her friends think she is, she won’t grow out of this either. Which is fine because it keeps good people away from her, I guess.
It’s a little like Highlander if you think about it lol!
That is exactly what I have been doing for most of this past year. I have cut off all communication. A person can only do and take so much....and you are so correct with your analogy. It is so very true. The saddest part is, I have forgotten the nice person she used to be. Anytime anything nice comes out of her mouth,…
I wouldn’t trust Margaret as a friend, to be honest. This little situation reminds me of people who compliment a person on something random and when the person walks away, they turn to you and talk shit about them. lol
Margaret could have handled this differently. Based on how much shit she talked about Tilda afterwards, I wish she would have been more honest in her email replies rather than act syrupy sweet, like it was totally okay for Tilda to contact her.
I agree that Tilda Swinton seemed completely clueless. I have no issue with Margaret Cho having hindsight anger about the Email exchange. I don’t think Cho had to mischaracterize what happened. She could have simply said “I got angry after thinking about the email exchange and this is how it made me feel.” And bam!…
just because racism is a major problem doesn’t mean Cho can lie, mischaracterize, and spout bullshit
This was not cultural appropriation. It is a comic book character, and you’d be just fine if a white comic book character got played by a different race.
accesscode has been using this as an opportunity to demonstrate her withitness despite her whiteness. A well-to-do entertainer reaching out to another well-to-do entertainer privately to get some honest feedback on some public complaints is hardly a micro-aggression... but accesscode needs us to see her as more…
I agree with all of this. My only issue with Cho was her volunteering to keep the convo private and then making it public.
“Buy a book” would have been a completely valid response. Cho instead decided to engage in a conversation where she tried to educate Swinton.
