Can't argue with reason like that.

I think that "everyone who complains about "PC" culture are right-wing Trump supporters!" is precisely what fuels complaints about "PC" culture.

I think that would be a fair assessment of the Vox article, however, I'm going to have to push back against this comment a little bit. Those articles are very much about things that actually happened. Laura Kinpis did get a Title IX claim and protests, American Sniper was cancelled, Emily Youffe did get her speech…

That's a fair point, although I will admit I find this comment frustrating since it doesn't really provide a counter-argument itself.

Hey there NathanFords,

There was actually a really good article about this over at New York Times, it basically is the result of both: http://www.nytimes.com/2015…

I think the distinction though is that people part of the outrage culture do tend to be gaining more power, not less, in society and debates over media. That's starting to change, but its starting to change precisely because they've caused a backlash. As corporate culture increases, the risk-averse calculus of that…

Despite popular belief, politics and history aren't static. The idea that social justice of the 2000s is indistinguishable from that of the 60s/70s ignores the very arguments of social justice itself. The 2000s have represented an increasing focus, rightfully so, by social justice proponents that we need to address…

I'm confused as to how that is a response to Close-watcher's point though. You're not calling an individual "bad" or "good", but you are making a statement about the morality of their actions and social patterns. It doesn't make sense to judge an action as "wrong" if the individual is not taking part in an act of…

Oh yeah, I agree. I don't think the comment is objectifying at all. As I noted at the end of my admittedly windy comment, I think the reviewer is just engaging in sexualization/realizing he has a nice bod. Nothing wrong with that.

Although I wouldn't have framed it how you did, I have to admit when I read that I remembered a comment on The Verge that had been removed for calling an actress hot.

That's true, I think you're right about Bryce/Jermaine, them walking off together makes sense due to Jermaine's isolation more than anything else. I don't really see Jermaine becoming as loosey-goosey as Jake/Fin either so they still did a good job making them seem differentiated.

I did ignore the daddy issues too much in my analysis, but I see that as part of a re-tread of past AT themes.

So much this, as the kids say.

You know reading reviews like this is why I feel alienated from my own culture. I'm 21, in my senior year of college, and I'm part of a generation that is more liberal in many of its beliefs even if it still has a relatively shallow idea of what progressivism is.
