It feels like we can’t think of it just as an internet thing anymore if it keeps on resulting in real-world changes.

“I can’t respond to any of your points, so here’s a claim of superiority and free psychoanalysis instead”

1. Her job might be illegal, but the other jobs of the women interviewed here aren’t. Being a cam-girl for instance is perfectly legal.

Its funny because this level of automatic psychoanalysis is precisely why people feel the need to pre-empt claims they aren’t “woke”. 

And I’m starting to think this lack of appreciation for iconography above all else might be my No. 1 hindrance in getting into anime in general.

I don’t know if comics as an industry can, but I know Tom King can.

So I tried to note this in my comment, but I probably didn’t do a good job: I’m actually not interested in critiquing Wonder Woman as a feminist character. I praise the fact that Wonder Woman has traditionally “feminine” characteristics, as her character treats them as being points of strength compared to the way we…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that designing under-age girls’ dance attire on a male sex fantasy from a videogame is something people can understandably be uncomfortable with.

I mean what does that even mean? Teach men not to be turned on by sexy women if they are digital? Ignore the sex fantasy nature…

This is a repost of my comment yesterday on a similar article but thought I’d leave it here for anyone interested in a different take:

“It’s not the male gaze that’s made little girls buy princess dolls for all these years,” she added. “They’re into it. And so we’re into it. Who’s been the fan base that’s kept Wonder Woman alive all these years? Women. So let her be every glorious thing that she is. Including hot and beautiful and sexy and loving and…

Got introduced to this band through Baby Driver, been loving them ever since.

I disagree with the OP but this is a weird escalation and personal jab at the OP for no real reason.

Pretty much the comprehensive response to this whole thing.

I just use anime as my relationship guide. Its why I am a successful, real person that is definitely distinguishable from a Reddit bot.

To be clear, I’m not claiming anyone’s legal, first amendment free speech protections are being violated in that example. I would argue, just semantically, that their free speech is being abridged, but that its a legal abridging of that free speech*.

They really haven’t. Its true that the original trangressive slant of their humor worked better when we were lambasting regressive social norms, but now that norms have become more progressive it has served as fertilizer for conservative/regressive attitudes. Being transgressive is no longer subversive in a good way.…

This is really cool and a great example of how all of us that benefit from disparities can find situations where we can use our privilege to help level the field in a small way.

I think we’re missing the nuance of the concern discussed in this article. The risk adverse nature of corporations might encourage more companies to re-think their relationship with streamers in light of continued, high-profile controversies like these.

The more streamers like PewDiePie associate the brand of video…
