I mean, Bamboozled touches on the fact that plenty of black performers used to have to darken up their faces, put on shiny red lipstick, and affect a highly offensive coon persona, just so they could have an opportunity on the stage. Obviously, this is not that, but it’s still a bad thing.

In our society, white people are presumed to have the right to be where they are, doing what they are doing. Black people are not presumed to have these rights, so they are compelled to justify their presence and actions...if they’re lucky.

That’s a great takeaway from this article, and I wish your comment was above all the ones saying “I don’t get it/I’m too old” and those that clearly didn’t read the whole thing.

I don’t watch Twitch regularly. I have never really understood the appeal. However, I accept that I don’t need to. This remains true for CodeMiko. There’s an audience here, and people should be mostly free to enjoy what they enjoy.

But this article is interesting to me because of the technology and production. I…

I’m not into Twitch streaming, but we’re probably not getting another season of The Eric Andre Show until 2023 at the earliest and this shit has the same manic, unpredictable energy. Well, not the same same because it’s a few hours instead of 20 minutes of distilled chaos, but it’s close. I’m sold.

Throughout my 40+ years being a woman in the United States, I’ve learned that men who say they want a woman who loves sex and asks for it are on par with the men who say they want an intelligent, independent, direct woman: soon after they get what they want, they don’t want it anymore because they don’t like it but…

Never heard of this game, but that was pretty damn cool.

A bunch of white people who think you can get away with felonies by saying sorry are confused as to what constitutes white privilege.

Her Whitney Housten was so good Whitney Housten herself liked it. Debra has a good voice in her own right, and she got Whitney’s mannerisms down perfectly. Plus anytime she’s with Aries it’s good.

Eh, studies have shown that there are tangible benefits to working in the same space, even if your work doesn’t need to be done physically.

Because they listened to what their players want?

Used to Raid 40 back in Classic, BC, Wrath, and it was there 15 years ago. There was also RAMPANT sexism in the “leadership” structure of the two guilds I was in.  Women kept out of leading tank or healing groups for no reason beyond their sex.  I haven’t raided in about a decade but I can’t imagine the last 10 years…

I dunno man, I have a hard time writing off the entire company working from home during a pandemic (for basically the last year) as an excuse, given the fact that there are a ton of productivity and logistical issues that come up from extended work-at-home. 

I guess Sega knockoffs is just the THING now. Who is gonna be brave enough to rip off Seaman??

He said he’d push for that. Which he has and is trying to get pushed through. The government is not that simple. The Democrats do not have a filibuster proof majority to get the stimulus passed, so right now it’s stuck in limbo trying to negotiate with right-wing asshats who as usual do not want to approve anything…

It was Agatha all along!

I cannot expect a white man to ‘know’ what’s it’s like to be a Black person or person of color, just as he shouldn’t expect me to know what it’s like to live a do-as-you-want consequence-free life of white privilege. All that I can ask of anyone regardless of the color of their skin, religious choices, education level…

Lewis Tan had some absolutely stunning fight scenes on Into the Badlands so I have no doubt he will bring it on MK too

You’re confusing King from Tekken with King from Art of Fighting
