Oriental is just not a thing, except maybe rugs. And rugs are dated crap anyway.

No need to be so combative about it. Bonus points for a false equivalence.

No. When someone cries for being called out on their own horrid behavior? It's okay to be incredulous.

If you think you can get the black experience out of the Podunk County Library? You're part of the problem.

I understand your conclusion. I just disagree and find it paradoxical. Assuming I don't comprehend you is that 'basic, condescending' shit I was talking about. At least assume I notice and I'm just an asshole. Let's try to have an honest discussion, no?

I did read the article. You make a lot of assumptions. I'm not in the business of perpetuating the affliction just because it's universal - I don't honestly give a fuck about these women. I do care about their daughter and raising awareness. Wins all around.

They're suing because they didn't consent and this wasn't some sort of karmic political justice. It was medical malpractice, pretty cut and dried. If someone used their own batter for every insemination (yeah, that's happened before), it would be just as problematic, even if this person had the mighty genes of Thor…

When those parents have no idea? They're going to take time and coin to educate themselves. Not to mention any potential counseling beyond the normal dissonance fertilization can cause in dynamics - adding a racial element her folks will never get? No fun. There's also the more practical concerns - hair care alone is…

That's also a big assumption to make. Racism is alive, real, and prevalent - largely through ignorance and ignoring the ignorance of others. Please don't paint me in those terms, and I see no reason to paint these women in those terms, either. No one should be pushed into the system of a racist world due to a damned…

Ahem. Because one lesbian couple in Ohio is going to single-handedly fix society. They can make a difference, but they already have by making the news.

It's not gross - it's someone actually recognizing the cultural, political, and economic costs of having a child of mixed race, especially without the resources or frame of reference to raise that child within the culture under which she'll be judged her entire life. So yeah.

The problem is that this very obvious common sense from a hindsight perspective is impossible to reflect in the planning and budgeting stages. All you can do is rely on known factors (brands - hence sequels, names - hence buying out studios, and formula - hence 'clones' of games). You can talk all day about…

Both are both.

Best hope we fix it before the full moon, homey.

That's a fascinating evolution. I admit, the only online voice I ever did was Mass Effect 3, due to my inability to let truly offensive sh-t slide. Other comments say people have transitioned to party chat? Sounds legit.

I will translate: Everyone is terrible. But everyone can be awesome. Hate haters. Play on.

Xbox Live just called from county. It needs bail money again...

Because height is clearly the sole important factor for an actor's performance - Sorry, RDJ... Hugh Jackman...

So long as the junior Robespierre's get the occasional yank the scruff? I agree.

Oh, I agree. But some of the parody-level activism occurs in the same circles. It becomes a problem when both reasoned posts (that I love and reblog when I can)... and the jerky crap get the same level of applause. It feels like that first week you get the definitions down. "That's terrible!" Okay. "AND YOU'RE…
