I’m with you, it was definitely cringey at the time. I always thought part of the point of the movie was that the relationship was all kinds of unhealthy for both of them?

“The truth is that data from more than a dozen studies of more than 30,000 transgender and gender-diverse young people consistently show that access to gender-affirming care is associated with better mental health outcomes—and that lack of access to such care is associated with higher rates of suicidality, depression…

Its been a hip fad since *check notes* ummm.... well the 20th century for gender affirming care, long ass time for existence of trans people dating by to the 18th century, Middle Ages and likely beyond that.  Obviously the same as pogs and parachute pants!

I guess but the fact he said he wants to be an ally after just vomiting up leftover Fox News taking points is a tad silly.  But yes he didn't do the Rowling of doubling down until you dig through the Earths core.

I think the answer there is that there was no scenario where Thanos is defeated on Titan. We saw Quill’s plan “almost” work until he loses his temper, but I think Strange saw millions of variations of the fight on Titan and they lose in every single one of them. No matter when Quill learns that Gamora died to give…

Because the comics and movies are entirely different but the mcu characters are the same characters in different movies? Your comment makes no sense.

Though Dahl did edit his own books to fit the times when he was alive.

Hold fast and best of luck, comrades!

Another day, another fight against the giant capitalists to try and claw back some of the colossal amount of wealth they’ve stolen from labor. Strike on.

There’s been a bit of a trend of this sort of thing lately: TERFs trying to find authors they can recruit to their side. They tried it with the late Terry Pratchett, claiming he would have been gender critical* until his daughter took to Twitter and told them all how much her father would have despised them.

In this case it’s less “roast Judy Blume online” and more “See? She’s one of us!”; the journalist is one of the many British weirdos obsessed with hating trans women.

The Angela Davis stuff was super awkward, in that so many Ethno-nationalists thought it was a “gotcha”, when the implications of someone black in America having white ancestors are obviously not going to be great for the white ancestor.

Hadley Freeman came up with the “Karen is racist to White ladies” bullshit. She also wrote this after Angela Davis’ White ancestry was discovered:

Freeman, (along with, it seems, the majority of British journalists “left” and right) is a terf and will go to great lengths to paint anybody she can as "on her side".

You motherfuckers leave Judy Blume alone. She has done more to help kids struggling with issues than any of you assholes who want to pounce on every syllable. Go feel superior somewhere else.

While I am entirely comfortable with the term ‘black’ (as a Black American) I am hardly offended by ‘African American’. The reason its so specific to the continent and not a country is that most ‘African Americans’ have little to no idea WHAT country our forefathers were from! Thanks to the international slave trade,…

“If a good movie is successful, people will make bad movies." Is this a joke I'm missing? 

And it took over a decade for EEAAO to get made, and it only happened because many of the people involved took pay cuts to accommodate the small budget, the movie got minimal promotion and basically only succeeded via word of mouth.

While not a remake, I still contend that Stardust was the 21st century Princess Bride

i always think it’s weird when people do this ‘won’t someone please think of the crew!’ stuff. they do not care, got paid already and have moved onto their next thing.
