“The internet deals in absolutes.”

The best part of Super Mario Odessey is when Peach just kind of get up and leaves Mario and Bowser for her own adventure. I want more of that!

Precisely. Reactions to a story like this set a precedent. If women are believed, more women will feel comfortable coming forward when it happens to them. However, and how it usually goes, if women are blamed, it impacts how everyday people react when it happens to them. They think, “If these Hollywood stars aren’t…

Asia Argento’s dad is Dario Argento. He is a pretty big deal in certain circles.

not to mention Rosanna Arquette, who’s entire family is in the industry

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

“The problem with the inner city...”

“I don’t see color” makes me see red, because it’s the most insidious of the group. Like, if you’ve never thought about culture, it sounds good a first blush, but it’s super, super harmful and an utter lie.

You fuck with my tools, I break your face.

I don’t think thats irrational at all. You have every right to be angry at this kind of treatment of another person.

I’ve worked at dealerships and yeah we play stupid pranks on each other but I’ve never seen it go past stuff like grease on handles, turning out the lights in the bathroom while someone was in there, farting in someone’s work area and walking away, you know stupid stuff. Lighting on fire, pressure washing, and beating…

Hazing is just an excuse for people in power to abuse someone else. I have never bought the bullshit that it makes you closer with your organization. There is a word for that actually and it is called Stockholm Syndrome.
