After we learned what “they are a nightmare to work with” was evidently code for coming from Harvey Weinstein (according to Peter Jackson, retrospectively), I’m now permanently suspect whenever an actress is “renowned” as being a jerk or hard to work with.

She’s actually been rooting for Meghan regularly - telling her family to stay out of it and for Meghan to pay the critics dust. Markle also applied for a job on the show as a model/presenter for segments. That’s the connection. It’s not malicious.

Cynthia wrote public condolences to Kim and Kim accepted. When you’re dealing with someone as mentally unstable and victim-y as Kim you know that private condolences can be twisted. SJP would also have been blasted in the media for not giving condolences. It’s really lose-lose for her here.

oh, well then, enjoy your upcoming coma.

Famed actress Barbara Stanwyck once explained why she didn’t respond to rumors: “The more you kick a dead body, the more it stinks.”

...only if you think her father’s legacy is tarnished because he might have slept with a man.

I miss Banshee so much!

Mostly that is how I feel about Ball’s stuff too, but Banshee was a joyfully pulpy love letter to exploitative 80s action movies.

You have to admit, ICE is a much catchier and hipper acronym than SS ever was.

If whether or not you like an artist’s work has anything at all to wanting to see him brough down for sexual harassment or abuse of power, you are MISSING THE POINT.

The first season already improved on the book, and I’m more of a Fuller kind of person than Gaiman (who’s a bit overrated to me).

I honestly don’t know how you can read Harry Potter and not realize it is already an SJW love fest.

To explain the mentalities you described, I have to refer to a subset of fandom that, over the years I’ve started to term ‘purists’ or ‘canon purists’ to be clearer. In this context ‘canon’ refers to the original body of work, as presented by its creator.

I’m not sure what on earth you mean by parroting my words back at me.

Except shipping as a fandom term dates back to the 90s, meaning the vast majority of OG shippers are at least in their 30s if not older now. As a concept of making fan works that pair characters, esp. same sex characters, it goes back to the 70s so...

You can do both. This girl suffered from schizophrenia. That’s not something be brushed aside.

It always bothered me that they tried these two girls as adults.

Emphasis on “historical driving forces of white nationalism”. I’ve seen plenty of white nationalist propaganda that prominently feature still images of Taylor Swift, Sansa Stark or some other random white woman. It can’t be understated how the idea white female purity/fragility is perhaps the most potent fuel for…

I’ve defended people who had 100,000 images and people who had 5. Do you think the number of images means anything in a world where you can just drag a folder with 50,000 images onto your hard drive from your file-sharing server of choice? (I can assure you that the federal sentencing guidelines think that the number…

fuck off
