Homophobia is not kind by any account. Conservatism isn't harmless.

No, it’s not “fucked.”

Boycotts like this just don’t work. It makes the consumer feel better because “We’re doing something!” but it’s pulling at the wrong level.

My theory on why Night of the Living Dead had such a massive cultural impact (well, aside from being a fucking great movie) is that the movie went Public Domain straight away, allowing TV stations hungry for content to run it late night Fridays and Saturdays forever and ever, imprinting on the public.

It’s incredibly funny to me how a pretty innocuous comment is somehow seen as something that is destroying her reputation (as opposed to the fact that she makes mediocre superhero movies for grown-up children). There are millions of people who get mad online like it’s their full-time job.

Do you hear yourself? How exactly is a marginalized, minority group supposed to “do serious enough damage” when they’re in the minority? Your entire argument reads like a wall street dude-bro take.  It’s kind of like you’re missing the entire point of protesting. Yeah, none of the Twitch celebs took part, so what?

Not huge numbers but it’s got folks talking about it and Twitch’s PR is probably dealing with more inquiries about the problems. I don’t think anyone expected this to make Amazon terrified, but it’s gotten more eyes on the issues and showed that it hasn’t gone unnoticed by a decent amount of their users and media…

You’re suggesting that the acknowledgement is a step in the wrong direction?

I’ll never understand streamers insisting on living in LA when there’s no reason for them to live in LA. They work from home and if they become actual famous productions are spread out all over the place anyway.

This is why our economic system is so destructive. Perpetual growth is not a realistic or feasible idea, so making that the main factor that causes stock prices to go up was bound to lead to things like this.

TPTB have no interest in stopping or even reducing the rate of cocaine usage among the populace: it’s yet another way to enforce class distinctions. A sensible policy would be to completely legalize all drugs and then properly regulate and tax their manufacture, and use a large portion of that money to provide drug…

I bet if she told him she wants to bang other men he’d call her a prostitute, he sounds like a typical teenager.

Some (very literal-minded) people really took those aphorisms about “honesty is the best policy” to heart, when the truth is really that most of the time honesty is best, but you shouldn’t be honest to the point of cruelty. Kindness is much more important. Telling the gf about every little mental transgression turns…

funny how no one does this analysis when 30% of the population, but 70% of a writers’ room, is white men

I don’t think it’s fair to say it lifts the same concept or narrative as Blacksad. As I mentioned in my review, the game makes a very hard genre and tone shift. I didn’t want to spoil it but it’s pretty drastic. I wouldn’t call the art similar either.

I suppose I could’ve also mentioned Maus and go off on an art…

Alright, fine. I’ll consult my two subscribers and see if they’re willing to follow me to Facebook.

Yeah I find this story really disturbing, as I do with most parents embarrassing their kids on social media. This upcoming generation will have all their dirty laundry aired by their own parents. That’s gotta have some effect on them. I also feel for the kid as someone who wasn’t the best at figuring out tools,…

Frankly, if you’re old enough to drive you should have put trolling internet forums behind you. Grow up move out of your parents basement go to school or get a real job.

Do you enjoy watching grown men get paid millions to play children’s games with balls?

I’ve been dealing with neuropathy for the past few years, and every day I’m in a significant amount of pain. I used to be incredibly active, and really only ever was at my apartment to sleep. Now, I can’t do any of the things I used to because of the aforementioned pain. You know what I can do? Video games. My spatial…
