Everyone, including Steffi Graff, agrees that the first point on this slide will no longer be true very soon, so... *shrugs*

I’m not too mad about it because a) the Olympics is next year and she and Venus are about to shut this shit down and b) she’s gonna break Steffi’s record. I hope she does it with Wimbledon (I would say the French Open, but she’s much better on grass than she is on clay; and yes I fully expect her to dominate the…

You thought Venus looked miserable? She looked calm as hell to me and Serena was the one that was full of emotions. I mean, she barely looked at her sister between games. Venus has always been better at accepting defeat than Serena and she played one helluva game. Serena was literally on the verge of tears the entire…

STEVEN BOCHCO! I missed one! But, like the first person who jumped in my head was literally Aaron Spelling (RIP). I mean, Charmed was everything to me, but c’mon now....

Well, that’s interesting because it’s not the same. In fact, it’s a false equivalency. A white woman playing a white woman vs a white woman playing a nonwhite woman? How, exactly, would that ever be the same? And before you start on about the “look” of the character, race and racial pride is a very big part of what…

Past tense? Aaron Spelling, for one. Alan Ball was another. Lorne Michaels used to be good. Chuck Lorre still gets shows on air. How? I’ll never know. Ryan Murphy ruins all his shows by the second season, see Glee, Nip/Tuck, AND American Horror Story. I tend to like Aaron Sorkin, but The Newsroom is terrible. And Seth…

Yep.

The problem is Emma Stone is not Hapa. Like, not at all. There are plenty of actual Hapa ladies who are working actresses. There are also women who grew up in Hawaii who could’ve been cast as unknowns. This isn’t unheard of. Crowe was lazy and that laziness turned out to be racist. He needs to do better.

I told you a while ago to let it go. I’m glad you’re taking that advice lol. Go lick your wounds, doll. It’ll be okay.

Sure there are. And there are plenty of people who fall right in between the two who responded to you. The fact that you are focusing on the overly negative responses or even mistaking criticism for negativity is part of the problem. I can’t help you with that. All I can tell you is... dems the brakes. You and only…

You gotta take the good with the bad. That’s life. You won’t get applause every time you write something with good intentions. Dems the brakes, sir. I piss people off with innocuous shit, too. I just don’t really care beyond a certain point. I’ll clarify, like you. And if people still don’t get it, well... okay.

LOL why are you so defensive? Do you honestly think that you can’t learn from this exchange? I can only glean from this interaction what you might be feeling. Ya know, based on your tone and your use of sarcasm, you seem to be shutting down. Hey, we all have off days. I mean this, move on. Really. Tomorrow will be…

You say you’re not mad and yet that last sentence suggests otherwise. The melodrama is not actually helping you, but whatever.

You also refuse to address the fact that your position is paternalistic, which is the majority of the problem. Again, sometimes your opinion is not needed.

You really should’ve just said that, then. Words mean things and you chose your words very poorly. You can’t be all that mad that people didn’t understand your original point. You used the same paternalistic rhetoric that many men (and women, for that matter) use to explain why women shouldn’t do x, y, and z.…

I know you mean well, but you literally just said “Men don’t dig [this artificial small waist look]. Like, when women say that we don’t care about your male opinion, please understand that we are reacting to you saying we shouldn’t do something because YOU don’t like it. That’s nonsense. Words mean things. Yeah, the…
