Why are they called Steamed Decks when they are obviously grilled?

If I was Neve Campbell, I’d tell these producers to fuck off. 

It’s still baffling to me that calling out a government for its mass killing of civilians—which include scores of women and children— is somehow seen as controversial and offensive. You know who called out Israel’s government before Oct. 7? Israelis. Protesting their radical right wing government’s attempts to…

Pretty fucking wild how the AV Club… is omitting the ACTUAL antisemitic part of Barrera’s posts

Condemning Israel makes you anti-Semitic

So she meant exactly what she said. Good for her. 

You can’t say it isn’t happening when South Park parodied it

“You’re wrong about what what “angry white guys” are upset about!”

Ehhhh, it’s arguably closer to a sequel than an adaptation. The first episode is an adaptation, everything after is a sequel taking place in the same chronological space, like, the present day scenes in Back to the Future 2

I can promise you that, if they’d advertised the twist, there’d be a ton of people complaining that “Boy, I wish THAT hadn’t been spoiled in the trailer!”

It’s the fact that it’s EVERY. SINGLE. Franchise and adaptation.

“Most “angry white guys who hate women, etc” aren’t upset that women can be heroes, or black people are replacing white characters, or that LGBT stories extist. They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”.”

The anime was about Scott Pilgrim. He just wasn’t the main character.

“They’re annoyed at the enormity at which those things happen, often seeming extremely deliberate in it’s attack on “straight white men”

Oh come on. As a straight white man, absolutely none of those stories with female or minority or LGBTQ even remotely feel like an “attack”. You know why? Because I’m a well adjusted…

It actually says “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” on the package.

This is a hilarious instance to get upset about what you’re claiming though. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is already a deliberate attack on the straight white male protagonist. Scott Pilgrim is not a likable character (that was a big part of why I had mixed feelings about the movie). The point is that he’s a selfish…

It literally is an adaptation. Adaptation doesn’t mean “exactly the same thing as the source.”

Nah, it was actually great, and a majority of the criticism comes from people who can’t process stories they don’t immediately relate to.

People incapable of character growth hate character growth.
