Okay but can we talk about Snape's chest hair?

I'm having a great idea for a TV show right now. Basically, women who receive threatening/abusive messages from a dude on dating sites submit the guy's profile to the show, who then lure the guy into a date with a fake profile. When the guy shows up for the date, rather than the way-out-of-his-league woman he was…

I think she's the most overly manufactured pop star. nothing about her rings sincere. jay z at least put out a handful of classic albums and started from nothing. she has been packaged.from day one. so boring. the flawless shtick is easy when you're a billionaire.

YES. They are totally manipulating their fans by starting their own rumours about infidelity and a new pregnancy, changing song lyrics to hint at their relationship status and making faux artsy short movies and completely contrived 'documentaries'.

I love Beyonce, but is anyone else getting tired of her and Jay pushing their relationship in the media? For a couple that prides themselves on being private, they're giving themselves too much publicity.

The sad thing is Black women are good enough to be anything that isn't a stereotype to people no matter how much we work to dispel those assumptions of us. We work hard to live our lives and find ourselves backed against a wall when shit happens to us. We can neither run nor hide from stuff because we have people…

Why is it, that every single damn time, that a person of color dies, has a crime committed against them, or does something amazing, the mainstream media always feels the need to say "they were _____ and _____ and participated in ______ so therefore, they're one of the good ones." That shit is infuriating, because it…

I agree: I work with a lot of military and government civilians, and I hear and see the phrase "zero tolerance" a lot, but it's hard to tell what's actually being put into effect. This is a great example of zero tolerance, even if it's directed externally.

In response to this as a DC resident, I have to say GO NAVY.

This is a positive turn for a branch of the Armed Forces that has (as all of them have) had issues (to put it mildly) with the perception of rape and sexual assault.

Farewell, and may the Schwartz be with you, Dot Matrix...

WARNING: This is an angry rant!

What I'm so tired of is when a person or group of people spouts racist, fatphobic, misogynistic, transphobic or homophobic crap like they're being SUBVERSIVE and EDGY because they think it's fucking cool or something.

No. You're just like 90% of the rest of the world. You're a tired old…

Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.

Him: "Okay, so if my shop had a room that everyone called 'dead nigger storage', think…

"I have to wonder if those parenting classes cover how to obtain childcare if you are living in poverty"

Maybe corporations are classified as super-people because they're something men can give birth to.

Allow me to translate for Oscar. "why....................Why.................WHY? Why must I be ripped from the warm bosom of slumber?! Why must I be violently returned to this cold cruel world of reality from that glorious golden realm of dreams where I am free if only a short while from this dark tomb of awareness!…

I'll be frank: I've been doing a lot of the behind the scenes complaining about this from my end because that's the only thing I can do. As some of you might know, I started out as a mod and worked my way up. I've seen a lot of shit, even with the old system in place (and not just from one site - I modded all the…

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new…

That was a Gawker article, idiot.

It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…
