Academically, radical feminism is a branch of feminism that organizes its philosophy primarily around the patriarchy (rather than, say, economics or race), and TERFs are the subset of radical feminists who consider trans women part of the patriarchy. I’m pretty sure the term originated in the specific context of …

Can’t spell edgelord without “old.”

I was going to disagree, but then it occurred to me that this site (like most sites) very rarely reports on fake celebrity porn, which has been around for ages. Along with nazism and dick enlargement ads, fake celebrity porn is the Internet equivalent of a cockroach - gross, useless, and almost impossible to get rid…

Jumping in to say that Oldboy is about vengeance as pointless source of moral corruption (another SK movie I Saw the Devil has an even crazier take on the theme). Blue Ruin invites the question of whether the main character should (or could) have let it go, but it’s also pretty enamored of depicting violence.

I dipped in and out of the series. The pilot hit the usual zombie movie beats, but it was creative and had a lot of panache. Then I watched the Kansas City episodes with Melanie Linskey, and they were very silly. Still, the premise was neat, so I got the game, which has excellent writing and direction, but the…

Psychics know exactly who’s racist. We should get one of them.

I've been playing a lot of Resident Evil 4 now that you mention it. Maybe the 20th anniversary of the 2004 election is conjuring some stuff. 

Buttsoup Barnes: uncontested master of stating the obvious.

Fortunately I’m not presenting this at a statistics class, I’m fucking with some guy on the Internet who thinks physics is related to both racism and statistics.

There would be more white actresses, but the proportion would be the same as the larger population. Since 1930, the US population has averaged 82% white, 11% Black, and 0.6% Native. If actors were representative of the population, and awards were representative of acting, Native nominees would certainly be a small…

Don't forget Leonard Nimoy! 

This logic is internally inconsistent - if 0.01% of Native women go into acting, and also 0.01% of Black women, and 0.01% of white women, the demographics of acting would be identical to the US population. And if awards nominations simply reflected the demographics of the industry, 1.1% of nominees for actress would…

Apparently it's a bad year at the Oscars for women named Greta.

Hey hey, it was the 70s, and surrounding herself with lions and (I assume) walls of cocaine was a perfectly normal way for Dakota Johnson’s grandmother to cope with memories of “The Birds.”

My unwillingness to drink Miller Lite or eat flaming dog shit is likewise a matter of taste rather than a political stance. 

The movie “Just Say Yes” was hit and miss, but it had a wonderful version of Lorne Michaels, as a fountain of bizarre name dropping and backhanded compliments.

It’s a counterintuitive design choice, but it distinguishes this Indiana Jones game from previous ones - and also from Tomb Raider and Uncharted, which have occupied the same niche for decades. 

Subtle best post in the whole thread. 

So Marvel's doing what they did in 2015 again? Maybe Echo will appear in Defenders Season 2. 

It’s amazing when a statement makes less sense the longer you look at it. If people from London, Mississippi, and California are having a conversation, which of them is the native English speaker? Or are they all supposed to be pronouncing words the same?
