It was terrible. I vented my spleen about it elsewhere but I still just can’t get over how awful it was. It took a fantastic and dare I say feminist film and turned it into graphic sexual violence DRECK. I’m rather heartsick over it.

I reject this backstory and adopt some of the many, many, wonderful stories on Ao3 instead.

To increase the number of women in a cast completely dominated by men, that’s why else.

I’m curious to see how this plays out (and definitely geeking out over it), but part of me also wishes it wasn’t called Captain America because I’d really like another film focusing on him. I assume he’s going to be the lens through which we see this whole conflict, but I’d still like something a little more small…

I'd be sympathetic if she had pointed at another patron's table and asked for bread rolls. The woman in this story claimed she'd eaten them before, though, and her friends said the only reason they'd come was for the "free bread." Since they got a comped appetizer that time around too, I'm actually inclined to…

Because she was an ass about it. She was rude to the server as were her friends. If she'd been polite then fair enough it would be mean to laugh, but she wasn't.

Dumb customer (me) anecdote time.

Because Feminists aren't made of straw and realize things are much more nuanced and complex then you seem to think?

In the Avatar universe, the fifth element is an awkward "Fan-and-Sword!"

Between this cartoon, and popular videogames like Last of Us portraying same-sex relations positively, it got me thinking: why is always lesbians? Where's the male gay couples?

Well...

Besides most of Season 3, as others have pointed out, there was the fact that Asami was the only person Korra wrote to for the three years she was recuperating between Seasons 3 and 4.

but the rest of the series and that ending was badly written.

Yawn, another tired comment about Jezebel.

Obviously she knows that the slave outfit is actually about ethics in game journalism.

your comment reminded me of this

Who will Arya look like? No one.

Your sister site io9 got a pic of the concept art for her costume:
