I was not aware that Burton was the creator of Batman and Superman. 

Yeah, this is not what cultural misappropriation is and if you got paid and were allowed to quit then you weren’t a slave.

The “cultural misappropriation” claim is just as dumb. Even if there was a case to be made, it would equally apply to his films, which are themselves “appropriated” from the work and Bob Kane, Bill Finger and others.

Even though you’re a slave of Disney or Warner Brothers, they can do whatever they want.

I agree.  I might even go so far as to say that the majority of Republicans in Congress can’t wait for Trump and MAGA to be irrelevant.  Unfortunately, as long as Trump can speak, he will hold the MAGA cult members in thrall.

I do think that any Republican at this point who even considers the existence of the public beyond the writhing mass of Trumpist scum is a de facto moderate, even if by usual standards they wouldn’t be.

After it was announced that legendary voice actor Charles Martinet would no longer portray Mario in future Nintendo games (starting with October 20's Super Mario Bros. Wonder) but would become a “Mario Ambassador,” fans were confused. What is a Mario Ambassador? Why isn’t Martinet voicing the Italian-American plumber…

It’s really a fairly silly idea that Universities have an sort of discipline system for actions between students. Like do they judge over fights? It’s a throw back to high school and elementary principal offices. I strongly agree with whomever mentioned that these offices should help and coach survivors to report to…

Criminal courts issue protection orders that protect the safety of the victim with the threat of arrest behind them. You don’t need a university to do that if the crime is reported to police and the police act on that report. I am not saying that criminal protection orders work all the time but they have more teeth…

Any college or university is required by federal law to publicly report sexual assaults by year. Therefore, they have every incentive to persuade women to not report.

I’ve never understood the point of Title IX reporting. Sexual assault is a crime that should be reported to police. If the purpose was to send an advocate with the survivor to report to the police, to make survivors feel safer reporting, that would make sense.  If it is to ensure that the school keeps a record of…

It’s not just misalignment of incentives - we’re talking about a crime where there is often no physical evidence that something more than a consensual encounter occurred.  There’s a reason police forces have specialized departments for dealing with sexual assault, and asking some college administrator to take on that…

Gosh maybe educational bodies shouldn’t be tasked with meting out justice in matters where their incentives could become misaligned?

Literally. 

Its a private religious school. As long as the school isn’t receiving government funds for its educational activities.......

Yep, I loathe organized religion, but ummm you chose to work for a Catholic school.  You fcked around, you found out. 

Maybe don’t work for a Catholic school if you’re not going to be a good little Catholic.

And this is why you never work for any “religious” organization. 

You summed up my religious experience in a nutshell.
