Genuine mistake. Nothing I’ve read ever brought it up.

I genuinely did not know, I’m sorry.

Intersectionality is important.

Chappelle is a minority when it comes to race, but he’s in a place of privilege when it comes to being a cisgender heterosexual Christian. Those of us who are white need to listen to POC when it comes to racism, as it is not a thing we have firsthand experience dealing with, and those…

If you’re not a minority, I don’t care what you think, either.

The only opinion of “what is offensive to a minority” that matters is the minority group being attacked.

“Punching up” by making fun of racists is fine. Punching down by attacking Jewish people and the LGBTQIA+ community (the term is “transgender”, not “transgendered”, btw) who are also regularly attacked or even killed for simply existing is not. That’s being a bully. That’s Kanye and Chappelle losing every shrapnel of…

1. Why is he bringing up the shooting two years later? Was the other person involved a friend of his? Does he even know Megan?

2. I have no issue with celebs being into porn, but I feel like they should make a secondary account under a fake name just to go on a porn liking spree if they want to avoid it showing up to…

When I see people who still wear Harry Potter merch, I think about how there’s probably a lot of different people with different mindsets on JKR.

I know some people don’t use Twitter, don’t follow anything that happens on social media, and/or believe following celebrities of any kind on social media is too…

I’m fine with things like Haunted PS1 Demo Disk or the Dread X Collection as a launcher, even if I wish each demo didn’t load in its own window.

I’ve also seen “queer” used as “I am not cisgender or heterosexual, but as to which specific term defines me, I don’t quite identify with any of them”.

I miss the era of 4chan when they were making things like Katawa Shoujo, which was a dating sim where all the love interests had some form of physical disability. And…

I’m weird in that small spaces don’t make me claustrophobic if I’m by myself, but being in a large room filled shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers makes me intensely claustrophobic. I have a lot of respect for people who can work in Costco or a similar store and not be a shaky mess.

I haven’t watched many Christmas movies (family isn’t Christian & believes only Christians should celebrate Christmas, so I have no firsthand nostalgia for the holiday), but I always liked Rudolph because I took it as an anti-bullying message that transcended any specific holiday.

Well, that, and I’m a sucker for…

The one downside to geeky media becoming more mainstream is that people who only know “people will pay a lot of money for [a first edition comic book, a mint condition video game, a rare trading card]” are now stealing [insert aforementioned media here] much more often. A local drugstore in my town had a lot of Pokémon…

Anime parodies have been getting better as more and more otaku grow up and join the animation field. It’s nice seeing the odd well-researched anime homage in a Western cartoon, or a Western cartoon homage in an anime.

It’s not fully “new” per se, but FAITH: The Unholy Trilogy is currently on sale now that the Trilogy is finally finished. It’s essentially “if there was an Amiga adaptation of The Exorcist, but the cutscenes were beautifully, uncannily rotoscoped.” The perfect mix of horror cheese and genuinely atmospheric shit that…

I was interested in it for the F/F angle as well (my only other frames of reference for Gundam are G Gundam and SD Gundam), but it seems like it really hasn’t been addressed at all beyond that first episode. Which kinda blows.

Gotcha. I admit a lot of what I know about Communism comes from a “Leftist hippie who was still very anti-Communist” high school history professor who went on about how Communism was bad partially because no one would be allowed to willingly choose which religion they followed under it (which isn’t entirely correct,…

Speaking from my experiences from being raised Jewish— we also use the Hamsa in a similar way. It’s a symbol meant to ward off evil. We don’t have a concept of Hell or of Satan as a specific fallen angel, Satan is more an amorphous “corrupting” concept than a person. We also don’t use summoning circles or witchcraft,…

I’m hesitant to read/watch anything DC has done with Watchmen past the original miniseries because I know Alan Moore wouldn’t be okay with his characters used without his permission. I’m sure several of the works are halfway decent on their own merit, I just don’t like how DC is blatantly ignoring his wishes.

I’m…

It kills it for me when they do it with anime, or any other show that thrives on weekly cliffhangers and discussion of how the next episode will play out.

I also don’t really have the attention span to binge anything anymore. I think I can maybe do 1-2 episodes before I have to do something else.

That’s not my mindset. My mindset is “I know enough to be able to dissuade clueless grandmas from accidentally buying their preschooler an M-rated game just because they begged for it”.

To be fair, also,

1. I live in an area where there actually isn’t a Wal-Mart, that isn’t a job option for me.
2. I admittedly hate…
