This. It’s like if a black man wrote an essay about Obama and heavily implied he wasn’t a real black man because he never joined a gang or smoked crack. It’s literally criticizing the man for not embodying stereotypes.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

Laverne Cox

I think a quick glance at the False Equivalence wikipedia page oughta do it.

Personally, I’d like to see her try playing a person who gives a shit about Palestinians.

You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person

Really, you just need to look at his background to see where this stuff comes from:

If those words are dangerous, capable of inflaming suicidal ideation in susceptible populations, is it wise to reproduce them in length in a comment? What is gained by this, other than you expressing moral outrage at the cost of others’ mental health? Did you really ~need~ to spread those dangerous words to express…

But Scientology handles power differently than the Catholic Church. Celebrities are/were deliberately manipulated and paraded around in such a way to give Scientology an air of glamour to the public. There’s also about a fraction of Scientologists in the world compared to Catholics, like 25k compared to 1.2 billion, so…

I tried to watch, i really did.  I just couldn’t divorce Elisabeth Moss’s scientology from it and just watch it as a show.  

Unless things have changed since the early 2000s, the guy with the restraints is an actual Chicago cop. Which explains his struggle to put a white person in handcuffs.

Reminded me to tell everyone that as odd as it sounds, Howard Stern’s wife Beth has the best kitty account on Instagram, as their various luxury homes have basically been turned into the nicest cat shelters in the world. Worth a follow! 

I’m so sorry this happened to you. This is a complicated situation for both of you, but in my opinion, it was the police officer who let you and other women down by inadvertently discouraging you to report. I think it falls to people in power to do something about it; at the same time, I understand she had whole host…

These women all tell stories of him doing EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS HE DID.

I hate Kristy’s parents now.

It’s absolutely amazing to me that living in a world where there has never been greater access to knowledge and scientific research is making so many people even more stupid and less educated than they would be without that access.

Now if only the same logic could be applied to Scientology and David Miscavige.

I find it rather odd how on many issues we’ve ceded control of the wording to the other side. Anti-Vax, Pro-Life (which gives the implication that Pro-Choice is choosing death), TERFs (nowhere else would bigotry be called “radical” or feminist for that matter), “Law and Order” as a codeword for racial profiling, etc…

We gotta start calling these people what they are: child-killers. They would rather have a dead child than one who has autism or some other (almost certainly fictional) “vaccine injury”.
