Or what about the new GTA that the female reviewer gave a 9 or 9.5 (can't remember) because she was very unhappy with the massive sexism, and she got fucking death threats because she said it was 90% GOOD.

It's always "Well, it's funny because it makes you uncomfortable" or someone trying to claim the actual definition of the word is what should be taken and not the definition as it is when you're actually talking to a person. They've got like three tricks, and they're old as hell.

Guy Gardner becoming Gal Gardner.

I just read the IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles today, and there's an inside shot of the variant covers. There were eight. EIGHT. For a single issue. If ever there is a '90s thing that needs to die, that's high on the list.

These are amazing. If only I could get one that says Melnitz, I'd be halfway to my comics-Janine cosplay.

Kinja, seriously, I decided mid-rant to not. Could you actually cancel comments when I hit cancel?

My biggest issue with the whole set-up was that Mary was clearly in charge along with Gareth, and she's the one who confronts Carol to try and explain, and she gets to say the catchphrase "You're the butcher, or you're the cattle," but at the end, after she's clearly been raped, she doesn't get to reclaim what twisted…

They accused me of silencing them because I called them liars on twitter. That's all I did. I flat out said gamergate was based on lies and bullshit, and they accused me of silencing. I pointed out I never said they had to shut up or tried to threaten them. I was dissenting, and that's different.

I know the feeling. I first saw his garbage side when Gail Simone tweeted it was a disappointment to find out how hateful he was, and he tweeted back and called her some names. I don't remember what, exactly, but I'm pretty sure he called her a bitch at least once. And then I actually read his feed and went, "Oh. Oh,…

As needed to be "shocking" and "ironic" of course. They don't really "mean it." It's just because bitches gotta learn not to be bitches.

And the guy who makes me occasionally hate that I like him so much on Firefly.

As I said to some friends while discussing it: 1) Why would you ever let Adam Baldwin name your "movement" if you'd spent five minutes seeing what a pile of garbage he spews on twitter? 2) It's never been about ethics; it's always been about rallying around a guy who decided he needed to "get his feelings out" by…

Very well done. As a casual academic research dork, it's really interesting to see the entire thing that is GG defined using pre-established understanding to show that it has always been about being hateful and has nothing to do with ethics.

I was debating a cosplay that included the skirt, and someone said it was bad to wear skirts because of the number of creeps, so I suggested just being in plainclothes and wearing a skirt, and I got the same advice.

I really like that harassment is decided by the person being harassed. It allows everyone's comfort level to be accounted for and absolutely refuses to listen to excuses from harassers.

True, but at least NYCC isn't pulling the "if we have a policy, it makes it look like we have a problem!" shit that SDCC pulled this year when the question came up. In my experience, simply having the policy and reminders cuts back on a LOT of crappy behavior, and when crappy behavior does make it through, the staff…

Oh, now that's perfect. Super easy costume, too.

If someone else is already snapping a pic, I don't mind if another person jumps in. Shots from a minor distances also don't worry me because it's pretty easy to tell what that person is taking a shot of based on how the phone (its usually a phone) is angled. YMMV with other cosplayers. But honestly, getting asked for…

I've had both those flavors. They are amazing. +5 to Biden for excellent ice cream taste. I do hope he tried one of the weird ones they have.

Ugh. I hope he chokes on his fucking "overeducated" degrees. Even with my ear buds in I get dudes in my face sometimes, and let me tell you, nothing says "winner" like saying "Excuse me" five times until I take them out and bark out, "WHAT?!"
