I agree with you. I’ve noticed that criticism or mockery of Christian religions seems more...acceptable, for lack of a better word.

You are the one reduced it down to who had the most instagram-worthy sign and pleasant empty symbolism. Women organizing, and congregating to protest together peacefully is a powerful statement toward this bullshit hateful administration that that did go unnoticed.

You are right that voting in the mid-terms is vital, but I disagree with the assertion that the Women’s March was “empty symbolism “.

It’s not just more voters. Events like this are inspiring more women to run for office. The original march last year resulted in the formation of organizations that are helping women to become more politically active. That can only be a good thing.

I think the “Power to the Polls” theme is really important. You can have the biggest marches, but nothing will truly change if you don’t vote.

Yeah, I’m not sure where this “Well just ask Muslim women why THEY wear their hijab” argument keeps coming from, like there aren’t millions of Muslim women who left their respective countries specifically to escape the sexist culture. I dated a Persian guy for 4 years when I was younger and he had a mom who left Iran…

No, America should be moving away from all religions. And, as quick as they can.

A person practicing their beliefs freely, peacefully and voluntarily is never a problem. BUT it’s only OK if no one wants to prevent her from taking it off without consequences, otherwise it’s no choice at all. That’s the problem IMO.

But the Heathers were the villains. JD was also a villain. We’re supposed to empathize with Veronica, who was essentially used by both, even as she craved acceptance from them.

Yikes. I mean, I guess that makes the change less awful if he doesn’t think the characters he changed to be fat, queer and nonwhite aren’t villains but that’s such a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material, I can’t see this being watchable to anyone who might enjoy a reinterpretation of Heathers.

They should’ve just called it Reverse Racism: The Movie and kept it 100. I need to know who thought of this shit. I’m assuming its the same people who are convinced there’s a war on straight white people, christmas and families and that one cousin who sits on message boards lamenting about how everyone is so sensitive…

Me in 10th grade AP english when I was asked to analyze a book I never read

we used to sing “teenage suicide...dont do it!” in the halls. always thought that was such a great premise. also, the very real part where Heather spits water at her reflection after giving some guy at a party head. Been that.

Reading the story as a 30 year old, I wish she just left. If I were in her position now, I would have left in a heartbeat. Screw your creepy guy. Bye.

Imagine my surprise to learn that using French is racist.

I liked the original because it punched up, at power structures. Marginalized groups were shown to have more depth than those that controlled the social scene in the movie.

““The three Heathers are incredibly powerful and ruling the school; they’re the people you would want to be.”

The show-runner has a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material. Quoted from EW:

So, basically, some irony-struck West Coast elite numbnut, decided that since everything in America was socially different aprés Obama, that the time was ever so ripe to skewer the formerly downtrodden, now in charge.

A teen dramedy about a traditionally pretty blonde white girl taking her power back from a fat chick, a black girl and a gay dude, as the adults marvel how crazy it is that people like her aren’t already at the top of the pyramid. What could go wrong?
