How the hell could you have left off Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green? Not only do they look like they could be siblings, but the makers of the upcoming Legend could have saved money on F/X and just had Logan play the other twin.

1982 was also a great year for queer representation in films. You had Tootsie, The World According To Garp, Victor/Victoria, Deathtrap, Making Love, Partners, Personal Best, and Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Some of these movies are better than the others, but it is quite impressive that…
Here is what I was thinking as I followed your comments. Everything in [brackets] equals my thoughts as I was first reading what was written.
noracharles: "If they go for S3, can we please get some Asian people on the show? Their absence from the landscape of San Francisco is embarrassing." [I agree with the…
I replied to noracharles. You decided to jump into the conversation. You started this and kept it going, yet according to you this is all my fault. You insisted you were not racist. I took you at your word, but then you just kept talking. The more you posted the less I was convinced you were not in fact racist. …
I assumed you had seen the other comments from moionfire and Justin F. in reply to your comments, as well as comments from Pixie Solanas, IminyJo, vallegirl, and others about the importance of racial diversity on the show.
At this point I feel like George Stephanopoulos trying to talk to Governor Pence. Pence only…
I said you were factually correct in the very first sentence of my very first reply to you, so I am not sure what you mean by "it's a start." As for the rest, it was your labeling of Owen as a secondary character that confused the hell out of me. I would say there are three main characters, and from them there are…
You did correct a factual mistake. Then you kept making the correction over and over again when the original commenter wanted to talk about the larger problem of under representation. You kept coming back to the original mistake like nothing else was important. You acted like someone who does not care about racist…
The premise of the article was "Holy shit, there are two many people of color in lead roles all of a sudden. They should be happy in just supporting parts on TV." That is what I and several other people understood you thought about Looking's Asian representation. I suggest reading this short article about…
Have you read this Deadline article about diversity in television? The author brings up many of the same points you were making.

I am twisting it by saying you are not racist and were correct….? I am too heart broken to even argue about this since they decided to cancel Looking. I guess you will never have to worry about seeing an Asian lead on the show now. You win!
You were arguing with a person who was calling for more racial representation on a show. Even if nothing you said was factually incorrect, it seemed like were picking a fight with someone because you hated their overall point. The whole situation seemed like a great example of the classic quote from The Big…
I acknowledge that you were correct in pointing out there is occasional
Asian representation, but noracharles' second sentence was "Their absence
from the landscape of San Francisco is embarrassing." Two small
characters do not properly represent 35% of a population.
I agree with noracharles that if you set a show in…
I just wanted to say thank you for putting up a well written fight with Ligeya. I am not sure how anyone can call Owen a major character (which is what your point was). Asians make up 35% of San Francisco's population, but are only somewhat represented on the show. It is glaringly problematic for this show to not…
As long as bigots exist, I have a responsibility to voice even the mildest opposition. That is how we silenced most casual racists. Racists know if they voice their hateful opinions, someone will confront them about it. Sexists need to know and fear the same thing. Every time you say something sexist, or defend…
Nope, just one of the far too few people out there pissed off at our sexist society. I know sexism will always exist, but I hope one day being a sexist will be as culturally unacceptable as racism. Racism did not disappear, racists just learned to keep their bigoted views to themselves because of shaming by liberals…
I was thrilled to hear that. Dykes To Watch Out For is brilliant. She deserves to be far more famous than she already is.
Of all the swear words I could have used, I think asshole is the most polite. In fact, to me asshole is the second-least rude word to describe someone you are angry with — jerk being the least rude. I could have gone with jerk, but I guess the shock of seeing sexism on what I thought was a progressive website…
Thank you for illustrating my point about why sexists are incapable of change. They never see their treatment of women as wrong, therefore they have no motive to treat men and women equally. Dowd, like many people in our culture, sees something inherently wrong with a woman in a relationship with a younger man. …
I think all sexists are assholes. I assumed since Dowd is sexist he would not respond to a logical argument. I wanted him to know he is a bigot, no different than a racist or a homophobe. He may not go around assaulting women, but he certainly believe in treating them differently than men. I appreciate your…
Hey asshole, Jason Bateman was born in 1969 while Abigail Spencer was born in 1981. Adam Driver was born in 1983 while Connie Britton was born in 1967. So Driver is with the "much-older" Britton, but you feel no need to mention that Bateman and Spencer are almost equally far apart in age. I can think of only one…
