Go back and watch the trailers again. Tell me that they’re not portrayed as thoroughly likeable black dudes, hip-hop and do-rags or not.

Are you intentionally talking like a post millenial hipster wannabe, an SJW who reads between the lines and makes his own story up and puts opinions in other people’s mouths just to draw attention to himself? Because, y’know, you sure as shit sound like one.

It’s amazing how all you have to do is mention race on i09 and people are quick to jump all over you ‘you must be a RACIST! What an ASSHOLE!!’ etc. etc. It was actually a legitimate question. I haven’t seen the first Bay movie - just the trailer, like this one. I don’t intend to watch it, either.

Why are the TMNT now a gang of do-rag wearing ‘bros’ from ‘da hood’, not only visually but culturally, too, all wrapped up in a hip-hop soundtrack? I just find it kind of odd.

Really bored of reading ‘articles’ that should be confined to Katharine Trendacosta’s personal blog. io9 shouldn’t be a sounding board for your own annoying opinions. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but after the Kipling rant - forget it. You’ve turned io9 into one massive downer. It’s just…

This trailer, like the trailer before it, is horrendous. It has NOTHING to do with sexism, at least not for me. I really liked The Force Awakens - female lead. I fucking LOVE the trailer for Rogue One, and guess what? Female lead. This trailer, for the new ‘Ghostbusters’ film, is just bad. If the cast was reversed and…

This site has devolved into a series of what should be personal blog posts. I used to come here for sci-fi/science/movie/TV updates, but now all I get are the overwhelming and faux political rants of the PC brigade, forcing their own ill researched opinions on the rest of us like they’re facts and making everyone who…

That’s kind of funny, in a way, because that’s exactly what Kelly said about you. We’re probably just going to have to agree to disagree on this one and shake hands I think. I don’t want to offend you, man. But you can’t just wave a banner around and say ‘this applies to all people’, because it really doesn’t. And…

I can’t call whether he is or isn’t - there isn’t sufficient information to make an assumption in this thread, so I’d rather not. But great to hear about your story and your aunt - in the 70's too - that must’ve turned some heads at the time! And I say that in a very positive way. My overriding point here though is…

Well, I did read the entire thread, and that is exactly what you seemed to be implying. But anyway - the point was that Kelly was more offended at your comments than she was with anything in this episode.

^People like this turn other people into victims. Not all trans people are cowering behind the sofa because of pop culture references, y’know. Have you lived with someone who went through a male-female transition? I have, and I do. And let me tell you, she certainly doesn’t share your point of view.

You’re assuming that the poster isn’t an openly gay man, which is ignorant and offensive, is it not? You’re also stating that, in order to engage about a subject, you actually have to be that subject (i.e. talking about being a gay minority? Well, you can just stfu unless you are one!). Can you see how hypocritical…
