That legal argument is in fact being made. The Organization for Transformative Works has, basically, a fanfiction legal defense section with volunteer lawyers with just such arguments. Basically re: fanfiction, all they’ve had to do so far is offer boilerplate rebuttals to cease and desists so far. But if it ever went…

Oh, my friend, so many other people agree with you on that score, you have no idea.

... Then clearly you’re not a fanfiction-loving superfan. But a lot of people are.

The problem is that a lot of men are egalitarian when it’s just two adults in the house and turn out to have some unexamined assumptions when it comes to raising kids and what, exactly, a “mom” does.

Still Girl Scouts. They’ve been around for something like a hundred years, they’re going to keep on keeping on. Girl Scouts are a totally different organization from The Group Formerly Known As Boy Scouts.

Can Mon-El journey to the future / fly away to his planet or a spin-off show ASAP please? Seriously, seriously, so sick of this guy. If they need Kara to have a love interest guy it can be James or some other new male character, anything but Mon-El.

Go home, you’re drunk.

Enh, sober people with bad judgement, good acting skills, and no job prospects? I could see it. I could definitely see someone like her thinking, “Yeah, I might be tempted to relapse, but free money for pretending to party!”

See, I think it’s better for KNIVES that he doesn’t end up with Knives, so I’m cool with that, I just wish the movie was a little clearer about the hinted at epiphany that no, Scott, you are not actually an awesome person who doesn’t deserve all this. You are, in fact, an immature dick and in the wrong.

Three Musketeers is most excellent. Yes, yes, inspired by Dumas, but turning it into a Korean historical drama turns all the drama and ridiculous up to 11. The Athos character is also the Terribly Wronged crown prince - and married to the D’Artagnan character’s childhood beloved. The new crown princess is torn between…

Hey, he can be both a closeted bisexual who both has a penchant for men AND occasionally sexually assaults women. Criminals, they can be bisexual too, sadly.

... I don’t even know where to start. If you can’t tell the difference between private possessions and public art I don’t know what to tell you.

If you think Vietnam got as bad as it did because no one would speak truth to power to LBJ, I can see how you’d think it was your duty to speak truth to power to Trump.

Does there need to be a side? Sometimes people just don’t like each other at all.

... I don’t think one-sidedly giving pleasure to a man really counts as successfully hooking up. If the idea of casual sex is casual sexual pleasure, even if it is degrading, I hate to tell you this, but giving without receiving doesn’t achieve the goal.

Oh, I’m pretty sure that you wouldn’t need to be foreign to be an unwelcome traveler, just from a different province. Someone from Hokkaido would look pretty foreign down in Owari.

I would personally get a guide for a few hours the first day to show you the ropes, then wing it from there once you get the basics. Japan has a system of free volunteer guides who are super nice.

Yes, I may not agree with her politics, but Nikki Haley has done exactly nothing different than any other politician in the administration except be a woman and not white.

... How does a threat to a community as opposed to violence against an individual make it an invalid plot?

I’m not diagnosing because I don’t know him, but *cough* certain depression meds, if given to someone who is bipolar and misdiagnosed, can sometimes trigger manic symptoms. It’s a thing.
