You do realize we’re in the Gawker comments section, right? Who here is not doing armchair analysis?

If you believe that groups who are constantly under fire from the majority Republican Congress, who fight for the rights of marginalized individuals on a national level, whose members are literally physically attacked on a regular basis, are part of some shadowy cabal that needs to be torn down, you’ve got a really…

The good thing is that both candidates are for raising minimum wage, improving the healthcare system, and closing corporate tax loopholes. Even the Republicans seem to realize you have to act least go after hedge funds and corporate taxes. Out of curiosity have you seen this breakdown of what tax brackets would look…

He plays one of my favorite superheroes. Teenage me will never forgive him.

Yes, exactly. It exposes holes or oversight in their campaigns. “Oh, the youths want that? Shit, we better appeal to the youths!” “Oh, the women are pissed? Whoops!”

It doesn’t though. Not if you’re one of the people he’s not speaking for by being silent. It’s not enough to assume that a vote is good enough. You have to shine a spotlight on things, like he has here.

Do you rabidly attack people who have different opinions? If not then I wasn’t talking about you. See how we can acknowledge different types of people in singular groups?

I mentioned this elsewhere but I can sort of see where it comes from. The concern is, “Well I worked hard as shit to get here and no one handled me the fabled You’re White! Award at the door, so the system can’t be broken. If it’s broken then all of my hard work is discredited.” This is stupid. No one is saying you…

Right, they shouldn’t shut up. They should understand that all of the hard work and effort they’ve put into getting acknowledged and fighting their way to the top in a male dominated work environment is not negated by the fact that other people are facing similar struggles and are still far behind in terms of…

Anecdotally in regards to Rampling, I noticed there was a very similar response to proposed hiring quotas for women when I lived overseas and it’s something you see now in Silicon Valley. There’s this inherent belief that somehow with quotas or protective systems in place, freeloaders will swoop in because there’s…

What concerns me is that while both candidates are very close on the women’s rights and human rights front, Sanders only pulls this stuff out days after he’s called out on his casual dismissal of those fighting for reproductive and LGBTQ rights. I know his voting record is socially liberal, but when he speaks in…

A casual scan over the past articles from both of them shows a bit of a bias, mostly in the way the two are covered, not in the amount of coverage. Clinton’s articles/headlines tend to be negative or neutral. Bernie’s articles/headlines tend to be more positive. I think it’s less of a bias toward Bernie though and…

Just because she’s engaged in consensual, negotiated rough sex before doesn’t mean anyone is allowed to throw her around and hurt her.

I’m not even an Amy Schumer fan and that was my first thought. Sucks if she is stealing, but most of the evidence looks like either obvious stuff or things she co-write with a mentor.

Sorry, but as a fan of the characters and their runs, I just don’t see it that way.

I personally see it differently. It could be because I’m not the traditional white male comic audience, so my perspective may be different. That said, I certainly don’t want to assume anything about you.

There’s a super strong case to be made for the younger, more diverse set who are taking up the mantle. The all new Wolverine, Ms Marvel, and the partner-not-sidekick-Hawkeye are really good examples. Diversity may not matter to you, which is fine, but speaking personally, it’s really awesome to see them prove the…

Ultimate Cap was just so, so shitty, and I love Steve Rogers. You’re really right. Even when they do something “different” it gets bogged down in the same stuff. They need some kind of weird Fraction-esque take on him where they keep the heart of who he is but go at it from a new angle that reveals more to the…

I’m sure it’s the same in other places, but many of my PR professors would flat out say, “You get one question per email.” People are really bad at answering multiple questions in written form, even in a list. They’re more likely to wander off than finish.

Exactly! I think it’s all about spending money where it will most benefit your life, and sometimes that comes in weird, non-traditional places. Over the summer I was going through a seriously painful transition to a new city, new job, etc, and it became obvious that I needed a car. I could’ve gone with a cheap,…
