Maybe it just appeals to the pessimist inside of me cause that's what I really liked about the books, that the hero doesn't always triumph, and things are hard for everyone, good and bad alike. Spoilers: I mainly meant where the plague starts coming in and things get extra dicey.

While I really dislike to argue semantics, isn't that a bit redundant? To say something is glamorized is to imply that a glamorous look or depiction has been put on the subject. It all boils down to opinion in the end.

Oh god there are so many spoilers that I'm itching to type right now. I will refrain. I think that's the biggest pitfall in modern storytelling, where the tropes of triumph and happy endings have taken over what a good story can be. I'm not arguing that Saw is any good, but I'm saying why does something have to be…

The Daenarys rape scene is complicated in a whole other level as arranged and coerced marriages still do happen and the dynamics that go toward it... are, to be honest I'm ignorant of. But I don't remember thinking, looking back on that scene, "look how glamorous that is."

I did not get any of that in the rape scenes. No hidden desire by any of the characters (the victims) to you know... be raped. I really don't think GoT is a good example of glamorizing rape. Because its so brutal and disgusting and they want the audience to know its brutal and disgusting. The portrayal of violence…

I graduated an art school, while I wasn't in the Fashion department, I went to plenty of the workshops and the really sad truth is, a lot of fashion designer students aren't even being TAUGHT how to fit for plus sized bodies. All the croquis and mannequins are straight sizes, and often the tailoring classes don't…

I want to drink with this Jackson fellow. He seems like the type of guy I would enjoy throwing whiskey at.

I think that while I do think there's a lot of truth to your point, especially when it comes to things like physical violence, where even if one was extremely inebriated they wouldn't resort to violence unless there was something lurking there all along etc, but I think it's a bit different with the way we flippantly…

I just got two replies to this exact post, one, yours which is "never been much of a grey area", and the other where "there can be times where consent is less than clear."

Totally agree, I was having a conversation with one of my very liberal and I had though straight forward thinking male friends when we landed on the topic of consent and he went straight to the well it's all kind of a grey area cause of *insert any excuse.*

I always tip at at least 20% now after working as a waitress for literally just a day. I was such shit at it and it is such a difficult job to deal with people. If you can't afford tip then don't eat out, everyone should follow this rule of thumb.

But but there's a tie there.

This is a beautiful photograph... I must paint it.

This statement is more WTF than the article. I'm amused.

I want a notarized statement from Jesus okaying this.

That would require risk. A lot of insecure film productions really hate risk.

Halle Berry could have before 3 xmen movies and one really shitty catwoman flick.

Honestly, with the way medical research and data is presented today, you could probably find tons of evidence to support your beliefs no matter which position you take on any one issue. Data is so easily manipulated.

That is not plus sized. That is fairly close to average. The fact that people believe that is plus size is part of larger issue of only marketing thin women. http://www.mybodygallery.com/ For context.

I'd like some links and facts about this. Saying numbers grabbed from the air doesn't make it true.
