Agree with your final points about the economy and demographics 100%.

...or anytime a blue lives matter enthusiast has to deal with the cops.

Hard to untangle the why?

Or Nancy Reagan supporting stem-cell research during Ronnie’s battle with Alzheimer’s.

Yeah, sure, but I have to wonder if it has more to do with the fact that people just generally hate Hillary?  Like, those voters were never going to vote for her, whether they once supported Bernie or not. Interesting point though, thanks. 

Jesus Fuck, he literally wants people to be oppressed for their own good.....

I voted for Hillary even though I detest her on a personal level. She was the wrong candidate and her not winning the election is on her more than anybody else. I’m sure misogyny most definitely played into it but so did her obvious entitlement and severe lack of sincerity. 

The spiralling ‘holier than thou’ dipshit would argue himself back into being 3/5ths of a person if he fucking could just to spite other people.

He must have at least a speck of royal blood to be allowed in the same room with the musty monarchy, otherwise they’d likely faint at the first sniff of a commoner.

I am glad you sad something because I really disagreed with this article but couldn’t really articulate why. And I am always down for taking down tropes, like I am having a hard time with Leia and the precocious child trope on Obi Wan Kenobi, but on Stranger Things it didn’t really feel like the typical trope. I mean…

Not really. He is exactly the type of person to use his murdered girlfriend as an excuse to act violently and irrational and then pretend its for the good of the people. The writing for him is sadly realistic and spot on.

The real cheerleading—the cheerleading that I know and love—is nothing like what it’s been depicted as (save for Netflix’s Cheer docuseries and Bring It On’s racially diverse and entrepreneurial Clovers led by Gabrielle Union). The real cheerleading is a sport, not a clique of spoiled brats.

Is the dead cheerleader a stereotypical trope? Absolutely. But to point out Chrissy’s character is notably different than the cheerleaders who died before her, only to ignore how that defense essentially contradicts your general argument that her death is “carrying out the natural ending for a whoring villain” is...…

Isn’t the whole point of Stranger Things the repetition of tropes from 1980s adventure/sci-fi/teen movies? It’s all deliberate homage.

Nice right-wing talking points.

ban people *but leave their wallets* LOL

I don’t know if this is true for you, but for me I think a contributing factor is just that I lived in a small town. The man in question never abused me, but I came to know the details of some of his break-ups, all of which escalated his abusive behavior toward women. It was one thing to watch a friend spiral into…

I had a friend in college, we kinda drifted apart and lost touch after college. A few years later, he reached back out when he and his wife were going through a divorce. His wife unfriended me on facebook, and one day I was curious as to how she was doing when something she’d posted popped up in my memories, so I…

I often wonder, with cases like this, if you’re a friend of someone accused of bad behavior, how far does your friendship go? I’m trying to put myself in a hypothetical situation, if one of my friends (male or female) was accused of something horrific, what would I do? Stand by them? Assume they’re guilty?

Fair: By definition, her profession - modeling - is ultimately an open invite to objectification, commentary, dumb opinions, misogyny, racism, and stupidity from strangers... This instance of that profession - being on the cover of a well-known, mainstream publication - opens her up to a wider variety of opinions. So…
