Marvel is skipping Comic con this year. So are fox, but who gives a shit.
I’m really looking forward to seeing photos of various “Vision in Business Casual” costumes this Comic-Con.
One could even say that the only thing of less cultural value and that sucks even more than superhero films would be Sploid videos.
Nice! I’m dead serious about the storytelling, though. If I was the VP of development at a studio, I’d get a deal done with an option on your family stories. Or, as a publisher, I’d hire a biographer to stalk you for as long as it took to write the book.
I wold pay good money to hear your stories of them and your story itself.
“Oh the racist stories they could (and often did) tell!”
I think you have to read it looking for racism to interpret it that way.
“Also learned how to make great pakhoras.”
I’d really like them to just keep bullshit like this on Gawker’s mainpage instead of ruining the other blogs as well.

If you can judge an entire culture as inherently wrong, and that the people of that culture should have known better, then maybe that standard should be applied to non-European cultures as well.

Seriously, these kinds of articles just make me laugh to be honest. How does one get this job? She’s obvisouly just trying to be like “look at how much better and PC I am than you.” When in reality she just looks like a fool with a poorly written argument and obvious lack of knowledge and research.
Perhaps a more accurate, less hyperbolic title should have been :

My great grandfather died in a British dungeon and my grandfather was pressed into service in world war 2.
Not a single soul, young or old, needs to know Rudyard Kipling’s thinking or the time period of its writing in order to properly enjoy the story of a boy making animal friends. That’s not to say it isn’t valuable information nor that there should be no conversation about it, but to rail against this story as though…
One of the mistakes that laypeople make when evaluating historical artifacts and literature is that they attempt to judge the people who created them by the standards and values of their time.

“But apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?”
