One of my colleagues in Montreal was a French-born PoC from Paris. He told me point blank he immigrated to Canada because of how badly he was treated in France.

Blew my mind, especially given the current climate in Quebec.

And I thought the bullshit anti-Muslim laws were the worst hypocrisies the French were capable of.  But I’ve seen it - they love to tout their grand open society, but holy hell do they lose their shit when you point out it only applies to white people of ostensibly secular (read: Catholic) beliefs.

This is absolutely false. Most programmers are salaried employees.

Never post Redpanels. The guy is an honest to god white supremacist.

... your username is adorable <3

Gold tier, no sarcasm intended.

Oh no, the tone police are out in force! How dare you be so rude to someone who was completely rude and insulting to you!

And that’s the problem - a lot of these workers will be classified as “exempt” to try and grind as much free overtime out of them as possible. I’ve worked at three game studios and 2 of them got in serious trouble for abuse of “salaried exempt” status to try and skirt overtime regulations. But they got away with it…

Seriously, I built my Beauty in 2012 for $900 and it's kicking the crap out of the models listed in that price range here.

I'm sorry other people in suffering disrupts your worldview that bad things only happen to…

Because the end is when she takes control. Why that has to happen earlier to make her a "strong female character" is why I hate most people's definition of a "strong female character."

I find it hard to find no character progression or even why you simply slapped her with the "damsel" label except that it's a simple,…

I think you missed the point of Infinite, though I think in a different way.

*MASS SPOILERS*

Elizabeth comes to see Booker as a savior. However, look at the crap she goes through. Now remember who Comstock really is. Remember the angry, accusatory look on her face as she reveals the truth to Booker. The cynical tone…

Cutey Honey predates Sailor Moon by almost 15 years. Actually, it probably inspired Sailor Moon, to the point that a lot of the staff just assumed Sailor Moon was ripping it off.

Though there was a Cutey Honey reboot in 1997 that recycled the Sailor Moon formula, was made by the Sailor Moon staff, and even took Sailor…

Uh...dude, her breasts *deflated* at one point.

Breasts do not bounce *inward*.

That title is actually fantastic reading. It started as a long-running joke in the comics industry before they decided to actually make it real, but they ran with it using just the right level of tongue-in-cheek humor.

...and I still wanna see "Archie Meets Wolverine" dammit!

"One of the best things about Final Fantasy heroines is that, generally speaking, they've tended to be strong females and haven't really relied on fan service."
