Honestly I think it was like, look at Taylor swift. She is young. I can’t believe I had kids and a marriage at that young age.

I think it can best be explained by this Herzog quote:

Considering being thin, white, blue eyed, and blonde is sort of the American ideal and has been for a very long time I think your outrage is misplaced.

Yeah, considering that Julianne Hough dressed up in blackface for Halloween in 2013, I wouldn’t hesitate to assume that her discomfort owed to (at the very fucking least) racial insensitivity.

I loved when in the intro episode and Amber met her dance partner and she said she was excited because she had been an exotic dancer. He sneered and said condescendingly “that’s not the kind of dancing we do here”. Uh step down dude. Have you ever seen your own show??? That’s pretty much the only dancing you do…

A.) Walking, talking bowl of buttered noodles = perfection

Nah she meant what she meant. A woman whose body is outside the realm of haughty white chaste sexuality is to be admonished to emphasize how it’s wrong and you wouldn’t dare cause you’re “good” or whatever bullshit thing white women have used to belittle women of color because they’re threatened that they won’t be in…

He doesn’t think what he did was rape. His victim failed to say no hard enough, so it was acceptable for him to keep pushing her. It’s what men do! Whereas a slave being raped by owners is awful and horrible and deserves total condemnation.

I was going to see this because it looks amazing and because Gabrielle Union gave those pretty interesting interviews and wrote that powerful Op-Ed but I can’t with this dude. I won’t give him my money.

After reading all of the horrifying transcripts (the phone conversation was especially horrifying) it seemed pretty clear that he was acquitted based on the two having consensual sex previously. The way he and his friend harassed her was sickening. He doesn’t seem to have any remorse for anything because he genuinely…

I still can’t quite wrap my mind around the fact that two men who raped a woman then got together years later to write a scene where a woman is raped and traumatized, specifically crafted to evoke extreme sympathy and fury in both viewers and the main character himself.

What about inviting your friends in to watch and take a turn? No apology for that?

I don’t trust the character of someone who apparently feels no guilt about his part in a night that led to someone’s suffering and suicide. I can’t imagine doing anything that led to such an outcome and then not feeling guilty about it, whether my actions were deplorable or completely innocuous.

Gina Rodriguez is that social media friend who won’t stop gushing about her “King”, then 3 months later cross posts a cryptic message from Instagram like

I was nodding along with you until I froze remembering all the racist douchebags* who freaked out about Rue from the Hunger Games being “made” black even though she was literally black the whole time, you guys. Obviously it didn’t hurt the franchise any at the box office, but those people do exist.

Especially for a movie whose premise is literally “children from around the world who are peculiar are gathered onto an island for their own protection”. I read the book and as far as I remember all the characters were described as white and European, but there’s zero reason that had to be the case.

“huh, this was great, except it was a little too diverse.”

Attitudes like this are so fucking disconnected from reality. I have never once watched a film or tv show and thought “huh, this was great, except it was a little too diverse.” I cannot for the life of me understand why directors wouldn’t want to cater to (or at least pay lip service to) the 37% of America that…

- Tim Burton, basically.
