I believe (though I am a kinja noob) that dismissing only comes into play with replies to your comments. So for example, if you hover over the three dots in my reply to you, you can find the dismiss button, but you can’t find it if you hover over the three dots on any of my other comments that AREN’T replies to you :P

Exactly. It’s kinda like the subtle nuanced difference between geeky stuff and nerdy stuff. And as I said before, io9 was a unique space in the sci-fi/geek community because it was founded by a woman and has featured a lot of diverse voices (I think it may have actually boasted more diversity than the rest of the…

Haha my favorite criticism of her is the “every detail must be correct or you’re wrong” criticism. For example, she describes a level of Hitman incorrectly or gets the year wrong—-> “ANITA SARKESSIAN IS A FAKE FEMINAZI WHO MAKES SHIT UP”

Ugh same! Io9 used to be so much better before the gizmodo merge. :(((

What if you yourself are gray? Can we grays be your cannon-fodder, please? :)

OOoh, no I haven’t read her but thank you for the suggestion! :)

Ugh, you’re right. We should invent mass space transport instead so we could ship force-birthers away to other planets.

Whoops, I’m sorry—shoulda been more clear about my sarcasm. I meant for my post to be sarcastic and to point out that even if wombs were separate from women, conservatives would still try to restrict women’s rights. But you’re right, artificial wombs wouldn’t solve all of our problems.

Yesss I will get off my butt and figure out how to stream it in glorious HD!!

I’m boggled at what you just pointed out in your other thread. I had no idea that the director had so much opportunity to do good but didn’t??? That is just willful fuckup.

YOU’RE HIRED!!! *slams palm on desk*

YESSSS!! *ahem* We are currently accepting applications for the position of Assassin American. While we are open to those with any background, we suggest that those with the following skillsets would be considered more competitive:

Reading this thread gave me the fear that you or other breathing humans have seen Gods of Egypt. ROOOO I HOPE YOU ESCAPED THAT DEATH TRAP ;_;

We should invent artificial wombs so that women no longer have to sacrifice their time and possibly health to gestate babies, and so that we can finally set aside the notion that anti-abortion activists care about the health of the child and not about punishing women for being women.

I think the whole “Asians are over represented at colleges” is actually harmful to a large group of Asian Americans we never think about, like Asians from poorer countries like Cambodia. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian Americans are disproportionately represented at colleges, but since college admissions staff…

That’s what I hope happened, but from the mom’s account it sounds like neither she or her daughter were aware of the actual joke until it happened? But if the kids were briefed on it, were they told anything at all about the joke? Were they told why it was “funny”? The more I think about it, the sadder I am for the…

Firstly, the phrase “Asians have more privilege” is weird since I just pointed out that grouping “Asians” together when talking about economic status is harmful because it ignore SE Asians and other poor Asian ethnicities. There is no real pan-Asian identity and it only exists in polling demographics.

I’m copying and pasting my reply to DJ Dozier’s comment because I feel like a lot of people are unaware of the problems Asian Americans face, that go beyond just “tasteless jokes”. Their original comment suggested that Asian Americans do not have serious issues because apparently they are better off economically than…

I don’t know if you’re trolling, but I’ll answer this seriously. First off, where did you get that information? Secondly, “Asians” is a huge and diverse population. I understand that East Asians and Indians are comparatively better off economically than other Asians, especially since the majority of Americans from…

I LOVE ARTHUR CHU (esp for his hard stance against online harassment, particularly in gaming)
