And yet the hero of Wonder Woman was still a man, and ultimately Diana’s involvement didn’t do anything except exile her from her home. *trombone slide*

Female NPCs get treated like male NPCs and...that’s disappointing. #OkayFeminism.

Oh, hey, and Smith? You apparently have selective memory about your own game! Cuz, remember that not everyone female in the game is, “servant, a prostitute, a witch, a queen or a little girl,” because of that, whole, you know, Empress…

Kotaku sticking up for a Polygon writer? Shocked. I am shocked.

For many black comics fans, cosplaying at conventions can be difficult a difficult and at times alienating experience for a variety of different reasons. For starters, there are the people who question the “authenticity” of a person’s cosplay because of the color of their skin. Even more annoyingly, there are folks…

Like how they appropriated El Dorado because there are no mythical African cities that could be used as a touchstone. *golf clap*

Yup, I just looked it up, skin tone means the same thing as culture.

Reclaiming our heritage. That’s like a fuckin’ colonial trying to claim ancestral nobility rights in Scotland because their great, great, great, great grandpappy (may) have been in London once.

HOW DARE HE SPEAK AGAINS THE CULT OF FEMINISM?! REEEEEE!

Can we talk about how the Amazons are failures? Diana says to Trevor at one point that the Amazons are the “link to mankind” or something along those lines. To me, that says they are supposed to be doing what they were originally created to do, which was to help mankind along...

Instead, they’ve been having immortal…

What was the whitewashing, exactly?

Except I never made the “dark-skinned female designed in Japan=ganguro” argument? Literally. Did. Not. If that were the case, I would argue that Kat from Gravity Daze, Yoruichi from Bleach, Fran from FFXII, or any number of other characters were gyaru, but I did not. Instead what I said was dark-skinned does not equal…

Oh, because she doesn’t use any Japanese, she’s not gyaru? Well, that settles it, then! Thanks for the clarification! I mean, not that it matters because I think this a fictionalized world, so there is the inherent problem of people attaching their biases on a double not-real character from a place that doesn’t exist.

…

Too bad WW doesn’t have a rogues gallery. I mean, I guess with Azerello’s run, which was good, it put her against the pantheon, but at that point, we’re basically ripping off GoW, so...maybe not go that route? Her lack of of identifiable or important villains has, in my mind, always been Wonderbra’s biggest…

This isn’t about an injustice. I was there at the con, I was on the floor when it happened. Essentially, this came to be a non-event. It could have been something, but it wasn’t. The situation got handled before it was ever a problem.

Now, everyone who is at the con has to suffer for this. There were two hours…

HAHAHHAHAHA

HAHAHA

Wait...

Ha.

Jesus.

Things That Aren’t About Race But I Make Them About Race Because I Need To Eat by Gita Jackson.

If by that you mean acknowledging the context in how it is popularly used by certain groups, then, yes, I am, fam. :)

*shrug* Like I said, that’s how I see it used most often. Maybe it’s the people using it, because they tend to try to weaponize it for some political purpose. To each their own, I guess.

Offend isn’t the right word. More like...the assumption that a skin color=identity is the problem, ya know? I have a convenient skin color: I’m black, but depending on where I am I can either be hated for the exact shade, or I can pass. I’ve been called a nigger on pretty much Indian res I’ve been on, but in those…

It unites them...under a single blanket term. That’s...some magical thinking. I mean, go back and read what you wrote. But you know, “my G”, maybe this little girl would do better than be superficially happy about someone’s skin color and learn about the culture that spawned her, learned why she wears the colors…

Nah, I grew up in the South, where, you know, we got called “colored folks.” So, really, I don’t see a huge distinction between people of color and colored people. It’s very superficial and lump term for people who aren’t white, which seems stupid to me, but whatever. I personally consider both to be extremely…
