I imagined you saying this inside a fortified city under siege by savage five year olds who are minutes from breaching the walls and laying waste via tantrums and hyperactivity.

Testify, brother. I watched Barbie Spy Squad THREE TIMES last night with my kids.

Not enough violence/comic book tie-ins and franchise potential?

You know, its crap like this that introduces good people like me to the video pirating infrastructure... You don’t do this to a movie that KIDS are looking forward too, kids with PARENTS.

From Wikipedia: “In some versions, men or women who have attained the highest level of priesthood are called clizyati, “pure evil”, when they commit the act of killing a close blood relative (sister, brother, mother, father), incest, or necrophilia. This act is said to destroy their humanity and allow them to fully…

She lost me with the whole "It's not your world." Um, yes it is. JKR created this world. She can do with it what she likes. Bitch about it. Boycott it. Use it to educate. Whatever. But it's her story.

“Real” Skinwalker? As opposed to the kind made up by humans?

These creatures (apparently, as I’m far from an expert) draw power simply from the fear inspired by their existence, so even talking about them (with rational, intelligent people, anyway) makes them stronger.

The assumption is that the spiritual beliefs of Native Americans are somehow out of bounds when it comes to discussion, criticism, or creation of new stories.
Sorry, but that’s not the case. If I can make up stories about Christian legends, I can make up stories about Native legends. if they don’t like them, perhaps…

It’s shit like this that makes me realize why middle America turns its back on real social justice issues.

Says who? Rowling has no more obligation to American or British real history than the White Wolf RPG designers had, or the guy who wrote about Lincoln being a Vampire Hunter, or Harry Turtledove. IT IS FICTION!

As somebody who doesn’t live in the USA and is therefore not drowning in a morass of racial neuroses, I don’t find anything remotely offensive about Rowling’s description of Native American magic.

At least this article is filed appropriately. It starts out re-iterating already-discussed problems with J.K. Rowlings generalizations of Native Americans, lumping them all up as a single group, etc, etc.

I get that this was poorly researched, and there is no excuse for that.

What part of “fictional history” did you not get? You know, I was willing o listen to the Native American complaints. I really was.

They should have just held off on showing him.

I think this rant actually qualifies as three delegates for Donald Trump.

I’d like to think of it as a political statement, and that he was encouraging Canadians to “flip” Prime Minister Stephen Harper out of office. As a comment on the image read, “I hope everyone realizes that the bat flip did more in one swing for the morale and collective culture of [Canada] than Harper did in 10 years.”

What the hell am I doing with a bat in my hand? Get it out of here! [hic]

To me, this GIF ends the rebuttal from the traditionalists.
