Man, this episode of SVU is *crazy*

Now, before we all get emotional and jump to conclusions we don’t know, can’t we all just take a breath, center ourselves, and just blame Tom Brady for it?

whenever I hear stories like this, where a child had to rescue her family from an abusive father, I can’t help but feel resentment toward the mother. If she couldn’t get her children to safety, she should have killed him and dealt with the consequences. Not her child. You protect your children with your life. If she…

Oh, Ted Cruz. Just when you thought your humiliation was over, things get even worse. You deserve it.

“My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn’t believe in mortgages... Now, obviously, I’m kind of far…

Cherry picking parts of quotes to remove context is fun!

I didn’t have much to begin with, but I have lost all respect for Julian Assange and Wikileaks. There is a huge difference in being for radical and absolute transparency (which I’ve always been conflicted on, but can understand the arguments in favour and certainly don’t think makes an advocate a bad intentioned…

Huh. I legitimately expected them to be worse than that.

(As an aside about the actual film, the suggestion that his approach was to “subvert subvert subvert”—either as the co-writer or director or both—is interesting because the reviews all describe an ordinary studio film, very pretty, awash in all the predictable well-worn tropes including the infamous ahistorical…

First of all he could shut up about all the women in his life as if that excuses the awful thing he did to this poor woman. Because him talking about his daughters actually made me all the more horrified by the incident and his reaction to the past being brought up.

The one that got me the most angry was on The Steve Harvey Show when Parker tried to play himself off as the hero - he’s just getting people to pay attention to the rape epidemic because that is violence against women and if he has to rape women and use gratuitous rape scenes as a dramatic device to get people talking…

Personally, I think that Ebony interview seemed close. He never really seemed to acknowledge his own wrongdoing (which he should,) but he seemed to be getting into they why of it.

Those people have access to a hundred years of films, books, and television all about slavery. If they don’t “know” about it, they don’t want to.

It’s disturbing because Turner made no mention of rape as the catalyst for his rebellion. Scripture was. It’s doubly disturbing because Parker seems to have put in multiple rape scenes with little female agency in order to spur the black male avenger to action. It follows Parker’s statements of indicating that he…

There are no innocents in slavery. That’s the point. There is another movie that fits this story, Defiance. It’s about Jewish concentration camp survivors fighting Nazis. There is no quarter given for “conflicted Nazis” or people just “swept up” in the Nazi Youth. They are all evil.

That the rape was a catalyst to Turner’s rebellion. Did not happen.

Lol, I give enough of a shit to click on the article

At this moment I totally saw the Queen!

Is it just me or is she seriously channeling the Queen here?

They wrote and taped something problematic, realized they really shouldn’t do that, and it didn’t make it to final.
