I can’t find it in me to be outraged over this. She literally says in the tweet to live your best life in peace and security. She’s not advocating violence against nor harm toward trans women. And for what it’s worth, I’ve never read a single book of hers in my life, nor have I seen more than ten minutes of one of the…

I need to read up on this story to have a better idea of what happened. Was Forstater harassing coworkers with her view or stating them from a work account? Im always iffy about this kind of shit. People have a right to their opinion even if its backwards. And employers can fire people often as they see fit and…

Plus, if trans employees are proportionaly over-represented among the group of employees protesting, won’t Google be able to argue that they’re not in fact firing them because they’re trans but because they violated internal rules? 

In this particular case, if what she allegedly did was true, I doubt Google will have a hard time on her case specifically. Not sure about the rest though.

Could not agree more. Mess of a story, and muddled social commentary. 

US was terrible and if anyone other than jordan peele had directed that, it would have been reviewed as rubbish.

You’re entitled to your very, very wrong opinion.

What is it with these ‘collision of male ego’ bunk? So much malice in that pithy little phrase. What, men shouldn’t feel pride at the work they’ve done? Or it is okay to toss them aside like a filthy rag once they are no longer useful? It’s no different than MRAs cackling like witches about ‘the wall.’

Can we please stop with the word stans already. Let’s just go back to calling them sheep.

Mark Hamill just said in an interview that he “doesn’t want any women coming to see this movie” and Billy Dee Williams added “or white folks!”  Another disaster!

Seeing The AV Club complaining about “the discourse” seems like a fascinating lack of self-awareness.

When you consider Boyega’s claim that “you are weak to believe in every single thing that you read” in the context of these words, it can read as even more callous.

Let’s go the actual quote, shall we?

this is how news happens today

This is the correct take.

Fine, using the word “weak” if it could be seen as applying to someone else may have been a poor choice.  But my god is he 100% correct.  People in general have GOT to realize that “Twitter blowing up” over something is maybe a few thousand people out of the 330 million in this country.  It’s not reality.  I can’t…

People are stupid if they took it that way. People nowadays lack context and nuance and I forgot the word I was looking for related to this. 

So, because a couple of slackjawed yokels on Twitter were offended on somebody else’s behalf, Boyega has to apologize for a statement in which he clearly was talking about himself.

Her character and storyline were terrible, but bullying the actress because of it, is just unreasonable and cruel. Freakin’ incels.
