Her “I wish for peace between my country and our neighbors” statement is pretty basic and the disproportionate response to it is more about attacking her as a proxy for the Israeli government due to her visibility. Holding a person accountable in this way for the actions of others due to their sharing the same…

It’s not antisemitic to condemn violence perpetrated by the Israeli government.

I don’t know what people expect from her. You really thought she was going to say “Death to Israel” or something? The left has lost the plot on this and is careening toward antisemitism, especially with Gadot since she takes a lot of shit for being the most famous Israeli in the world at the moment.

You know, McDonald’s food isn’t really as unhealthy as it’s made out to be. Yeah, it’s not good for you, but most other fast food is a LOT worse for you. People hold up a Big Mac as a prime example of unhealthy fast food, but a Big Mac only has 550 calories. There are other fast food chains that have burgers with 3x…

Context is important here - he’s not saying they’re not interested in Drax, he’s saying a Drax/Mantis movie didn’t pan out:

“America has to stop looking for heroes in its Bill Gates figures and start assuming they’re all Jeffery Epsteins.”

I had an 11 day period after my shot. It’s usually like 5 at most. I was...not a fan.

I don’t understand how anyone can defend Lovato in this situation. Aside from the point others have made that it’s on you to manage your triggers instead of expecting the entire world to cater to your specific issues, the fact that frozen yogurt was originally devised from diet culture is a moot point. Birth control…

it seems like another example of this collection of bloggers needing to criticize a white character if there’s a black or non-white character in close proximity (on that basis alone).

Honestly this writer on io9 always pulls crap like this. Io9 likes to throw unnecessary shade on good stuff all the time and it’s MOSTLY this writer.

Well said. Of course Rambeau isn’t the real hero of this show, it’s Wandavision, not Monicavision, how is that not clear?

Sucks to be Elizabeth Olsen who acted the shit out of her own show and was a strong female lead, but somehow wasn’t the real hero and didn’t do enough to tell not her story. Bummer. If only Rambeau had a future in the MCU to really establish herself.

If anything, I applaud the creators saw Wanda’s story as her own all the way through. [Famous so-and-so] or Monica or someone else didn’t need to step in to save Wanda, she pulled herself back from the abyss even with the harm she did. As I said about Dr. Strange to those who clamored for an eleventh-hour assist from…

You know what?

Nah, the show did what it needed to do with Monica: allow her to steal the scenes she was in so that audiences would clamor for more of her in future MCU properties. And it did that. This was her backdoor pilot, not her starring role.

Yeah, but they don’t require testosterone treatments for women who produce just a bit more than average. We are talking about people who produce three times as much (Caster Semenya for example) as average women. If anyone other female athlete was caught with those levels of testosterone in their blood, they would be…

Nope. Jezebel keeps barking up this tree with the wrong take. Two credos to live by:

But I wasn’t referring to the sixth place finisher, I was talking about the girls who finished third or fourth here and who could claim to be state champions if these transathletes weren’t competing in a state with a bafflingly lax approach to the competetiveness issue. They didn’t complain here and I don’t know how…

I didn’t see it mentioned in the article, but it wasn’t really that she finished 6th, it was more that she missed her regional qualifying by two places. From that context, her argument at least makes a little more sense.

I’ll grant you that I’m not transphobic, but I can get petty and shallow with the best of them.
