I mean, just look at the original Star Trek.

My personal “favorite” is when the behavior and anatomy of these fantasy creatures map to stereotypes of groups of people and we’re expected to just write this off as a wee coinkydink.

Always been a fun thing in fantasy & sci fi, people are willing to accept other races like elves, orcs, goblins, asari, krogans (just naming more famous sci fi ones), with all sorts of colour. And are usually on their side in the game/book/movie. Defending them against racism, like drow that are usually looked down…

The pen was mightier than the sword that day, for which we are all grateful. 

Years ago, I was moving from one crazy, dangerous neighborhood to another slightly less dangerous, yet equally crazy neighborhood, when a mentally ill homeless person randomly tried to cut me with a box cutter. Just one of those things. One second he was trudging by silently, the next he was coming at me, also silently…

I don’t think her reactions are a bad thing, if anything they’re probably sensible but definitely hilarious.

You’re not alone haha

I do it too.

I enjoy shooters as much as the next guy, but collaborating with a gun manufacturer to create a real live, mass produced version of a video game gun, is just awful.

She makes a good living at fantasy cons and horror cons. Her family should respect that.

As someone who lives on the left side of the political spectrum, one of our side’s worst tendencies is our collective insistence that our shit don’t stink. For all our smugness about red states and blue states, I’ve had way more racial slurs hurled my way on the streets of New York and LA than I ever did in North…

“Malina brings up some good points (aside from this assertion that ‘the anti-racist, progressive left often seems to tolerate and, at times, produce’ antisemitism”

I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the idea of suing for wrongful death— I’d rather just have my loved one back, and money can’t fix that.

It’s his music festival. He’s the main organizer of it. He regularly encourages people to storm the stage. His culpability is off the charts and his ass is going to get shredded by attorneys.

Harley Quinn was snubbed but she and Poison Ivy kicked everyone’s asses at the after party, so it was all good

I don’t know why they insist on having one of the awards be “Clown of the Year.” Every year they give it to someone besides the Joker and then they’re surprised when he shows up to murder everyone as revenge.

Even more baffling is their “Guy Called The Riddler Of The Year Award,” which always goes to city councilman…

This was an especially good year for the Gotham Awards, as they only lost three guests to the Joker’s laughing gas before Batman arrived. A new personal best for casualties!

For that last part, it’s pretty ironic considering Autism Speaks’ own name. But yes, hidden malice or opportunism through ‘good intentions’ works effectively enough in our society.

Comrade Britney was placed under a conservatorship for, essentially, reacting as any young parent would when paparazzi were harassing her and her children. Meanwhile, no one is trying to place a conservatorship on Kanye West, or any number of entertainment and sportball men. 

Twitter is not McCarthyism because Twitter in not a panel of government officials acting under the color of law, you dumb fuck.

Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, creators and famous people complain about Twitter, what they’re really complaining about is that their no longer shielded from public opinion. Please to be…
