Emilia Clarke also spoke about her experience shooting sex scenes for the book

Why the hate? Someone’s gotta fork over the big bucks if our governments won’t. Let the Bazillionare Space Race commence, and godspeed, I say. We’ll get some actual technological advancements that will further mankind’s journey into the cosmos, while also having a chance to witness some one-percenter explode on…

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

or....perhaps white people who TRIED to be allies got tired of your Black-centric, you-are-what-you-would-be-in-prison, gangster bullshit?

As usual, a so-called “conservative voice” is all riled up about some idiotic novelty pop song that will be completely forgotten six weeks from now. And they wonder why normal people refuse to take their “voices” seriously.

Oh no. You thought that reply was for you (it wasn’t) and got really mad about it. How embarrassing for you.

America’s genocidal history also doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the use of some term like “spiritual animal”, though. It’s not some slur, it’s not a “tool of oppression”, it’s just a dumbass reach by people who want to appear like the wokest in the land.

Yeah, you’re right. He was just one guy getting murdered! Surely one person getting murdered wouldn’t spark a whole movement or anything like that. That’s ancient history.

Using jesus christ as an exclamation does not invoke a history of horrific violence

You understand the word “significance” right? A non-Native American talking about a “spirit animal” is about as significant as a non-Christian exclaiming “goddamnit.” I promise you’re caring too much about this.

Which Indigenous group says “spirit animal”? Or are you putting them all under the same umbrella?

Soooo, Native Americans are the only ones who can use the word spirit?

ahhh the good old “racism is ok as long as you are X% disadvantaged.”

First of all, I don’t give a shit about my Zodiac sign.

>> you’re shitty education system

(pssstttt... “spirit animals” have nothing to do with indigenous American civilizations).

For whom is “spirit animal” a cultural term, though? The Natives i know (Northeast north america, mostly) have clans with animal totems, but they don’t hold those animals in particular reverence, nor do they equate “clan animal” with “spirit animal”, as the former is familial, and the latter, personal.

I want to…

No, there’s no problem. It’s a really dumb thing to be mad about. It’s about as significant as a non-christian saying “Jesus Christ” when they stub their toe. Who fucking cares?

To be fair, if anyone tried to tell me the phrase ‘spirit animal’ is “cultural appropriation” I’d probably yell at them, myself. 

Can’t remember too many celebrity passings that make me audibly say “NO” when I hear about it, but this one definitely cleared that bar by a mile. So many wonderful memories watching the build team with my dad after school just about every day... thanks, and rest easy.
