If you channel everything through identity politics then sure, this is condemnation worthy as are the developer’s attempts to give you fair warning. But being a puritan about a sexual game written by a woman expressing herself creatively could also be condemnation worthy from an angle. And so can my comment... and…

I dislike Facebook and am about to delete mine. I dislike Trump and I believe that the Trump Tower meeting emails are ample proof of collusion between Russia and his campaign. I’m dusgusted by the behavior that Cambridge Analytica’s executive displayed in that hidden camera sting. I hate that our campaign finance laws…

Now if only you could find a way to say this stuff which regular people will understand and be motivated by. I can tell this is an attempt to dumb down the academic concept of Neoliberalism, to the non-academic reader, but it’s still so littered with academic finger prints that it’s off-putting. While many of the…

Wow. After years of playing the SNES version, fan translated super famcom ROMs, and then a mobile emulated version of the GBA release with added content... when I heard there was a new rerelease our with new art I was like “it’s my favorite game of all time, but I don’t need to play a new version... I’ll pass for…

The director has said he didn’t read the sequels. Makes sense if he wants to make his own vision of the original that he may not want to dilute it with influence from the other material. The character doesn’t have a specified race in the first book, so he cast the roll with an actor who fit his vision who was white.…

I respectfully disagree. Goblins are set up to successfully fill multiple needs of a low level campaign, as well be as scalable to higher levels.

I don’t have an understanding of the economics of this niche so I’ll grant that maybe they were low-balling her. I also have never heard of her while I consider the other three mentioned comedians to be household names, but I’ll grant that this could just be a personal blind spot. Even if she is in the same…

Most people liked it just fine, yet the only articles I’ve read are about the haters and Johnson responding to them. He should do his film a favor and stop feeding the trolls.

If Radiohead winds up winning 100% of the rights I’ll be mildly disappointed in them for being inconsistent with their anti-establishment/humanist reputation. Using IP to completely take all of the rights of someone else’s creative work, derivative as it may be, would seem to be unkind and stifling. Especially because…

Rape? See every time counselor Troi meets an empathic male ambassador or every other time she’s around a sparkly creature made of light. Also see how Dr. Mcoy earns the affections of unruly pregnant patients. For once Star Trek is presenting a sexual abuse survivor thoughtfully in a way that drives character…

That’s like saying “I gave up TNG after season 2. It just didn’t feel like it was about to become something vastly superior to TOS and expand what Star Trek can feel like.” I mean live a little, let Star Trek boldly go to new places awhile before you decide you like your future-fantasy to be old-fashioned.

Why the hell is there so much fuss about the 20th anniversary of some random moderately good movie from the 90s? Where is this nostalgia coming from and why aren’t we using it on much better 90's movies? Why would honoring this cable-rerun worthy show require enough decorum to shield a recently alleged sexual violator…

If you’re going to pretend that Oliver is a journalist than why on Earth wouldn’t he be obligated to put Dustin Hoffman on the spot about this woman’s claims?

Who the hell is Adam Clarke Estes or anyone else to decide which YouTube videos are too “borderline” or “appeal to bad people”. By encouraging YouTube to occupy the role of morality censor instead of neutral content host, you’re not limiting them, you’re empowering their corporate power to stifle independent…

She said something stupid on social media. I never opted into the idea that that should get people fired from jobs that aren’t about having good ideas.

“amoment my black heart opened up for”

Progressive Puritanism... surreal. This article shows the limitations of the prevailing militantly correct, positivist progressive world view. When confonted with the just and proper ephigy burning we’re all eagerly participating in to align ourselves with the undeniably righteous cause of the victimized, we naturally…

I’m getting frustrated with the denseness of people defending this as innocent when it seems so obviously offensive too me. But I just realized why there’s a gap.

Because issues of black identity are massively important and changing rapidly. The annoying black actress article you shrug off engaging with today, is the embarrassingly out of touch comment you make innocently a year from now that creates strife for your friends, family, or co-workers.

That is ridiculous. Looking at those two images, I understand instantly without reading anything (and you probably do too) why her hair was edited: Because it looks better. The reason it looks better to me and most people who see it is that we’ve been socialized with racist standards of beauty. And magazine covers of…
