I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

They also have a legal argument on the “deeply held religious belief” angle (what I remember in my head as the “We’re Hobby Lobby and we don’t like women getting birth control, so fuck you, healthcare” precedent), as one of their Fundamental Tenets is “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s will alone.” By that

They would have, had the second boy not assassinated the elder boy during a coup against another House. All that matters is that Loth the Spider Queen is appeased.

If the babies had guns they could save themselves.

What’s “j-school”?

So basically, “fuck activists, fuck activism, and the old ways are the right ways always.”

You went to a shitty j-school, then. It’s perfectly possible to cover this story without deadnaming Elliot, as evidenced by the HUNDREDS of outlets that properly covered it that way.

Its never not funny to watch the same old privileged commenteratti attempt to shit all over a celebrity infinitely more talented and successful than themselves.

And not only that, but the women’s soccer team brought in over $1.5M more in revenue than the men’s soccer team over the last few years. So maybe the men should be taking a pay cut if it’s just about revenue?

Just a friendly reminder that if you’re going to make the production argument (women should get paid less because they sell fewer tickets/jerseys/advertising minutes/etc.), you are, in fact, making the argument FOR equal pay. Women make less based on production BECAUSE WE ARE SEXIST AF, AND THAT’S WHY THE EQUAL PAY

I’m not sure that her assertion is that preposterous....

The blurb up top makes it clear what happened. “The AV Club” is a collection of individuals. Some of them thought the film was pretty good, but enough of them really hated it that it made the list. And now the comment section is going to be dominated by 20-something white guys crying about it.

Why not? Linda Hunt won an Oscar playing a man in The Year Of Living Dangerously. You do realize an actor’s job is pretending to be something they aren’t, right?

1) That’s the point. It’s not any different for Ledger to play a gay man, a preacher, or a psychopath. It’s all acting. He's an actor. Judge him by his performance.

Is it? Or do you not know what “acting” is?

It’s okay for actors to do their jobs. In fact, we used to celebrate and reward actors and actresses for taking on difficult roles that required them to learn to depict the world through someone else’s eyes. That’s what acting is. It’s literally their job.

Typecasting, like

Fact: It’s okay for actors to act. That is literally their job. Did you know that neither Sandra Bullock nor George Clooney were astronauts when they agreed to star in Gravity? Also Heath Ledger wasn’t a crazy psychopath when he agreed to play the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Black men can play white colonial slave

Many times they do but when you are trying to make weight that badly an ounce or two might matter.
