You and me both.
Nailed it. I firmly believe that the majority of people who say this don't actually care about the issues when they arise in the news. They just want to appear philanthropic.
Because that's a total dead end of a thought process. "You can't care about A because B is worse and is also happening." There's always something worse. You can't care about B because C exists. Only spoiled people will worry about C because people with D have real problems. Of course D is small potatoes compared to E.
THESE PEOPLE ARE 25. 25 y'all. Like I'm 25, I still make stupid decisions and mistakes but this is just fucking ridiculous. Learn and grow guys. Learn and grow.
Valid points, but I think you are ignoring a key fact:
The thing with the Harajuku Girls is that it played on a fashion trend there—it is absolutely not the same as wearing a sacred headdress as a costume. It was a fad (one that was temporarily replaced by Japanese women parading around in blackface, I might add). Did Stefani really position herself as a creator of that…
I dunno. Gwen makes a good point—-Lolita fashion didn't just happen. The Japanese made it happen.
I don't understand... that line is specifically about Stefani praising the way Japanese culture will take some American cultural artifact and make it their own; without getting into whether it's okay for Stefani to do it (my understanding is that it's not okay for her to do it Because), isn't it generally acceptable…

Your disdain for your readership is apparent. The top-voted comment here is someone saying she understands that it's satire and doesn't find it funny. You don't need to explain it again to us.
Predators pick victims who are already damaged.....often by other predators. They help each other out like that, and men in general benefit because scared women have lower standards when they can't count on basic safety. And given the way we accept and support rapists, the standards for male behavior are kept…
"Attention-seeking" seems to me to be applied to people who are really seeking......comfort. Reassurance. Solace. Aid. But when it's women doing it, it just gets changed to.....something vaguely sleazy.
It wouldn't surprise me if people are throwing that at her too, although I personally haven't seen any of it (yet). I've seen her on some show, probably around 10 years ago, describing some crazy sexual encounter she had with some other famous person. That one was consensual, and the telling of it was so different…
But why didn't she do something to stop him? I'm not saying it was okay for him to attack her, but it was a public event and she could've said "no" or yelled for security anytime and since I didn't read anything in this statement about her doing that, I can only conclude she must've consented to being slapped. And…
its a passion i don't really share with twitter or really anyone outside of close friends
See? This is when I shake my head and think hey...wearing hearing aids since I was 5 ain't so bad after all. BRIGHT SIDE
When I was pretty small (post 4th grade, pre junior high), my headboard was on the common interior wall between my parents' room and mine. I woke up one night to sexy noises. I asked my mom to help me move my bed the next day. She didn't know until like, this year, why I moved my bed (I'm 29) and she was SO…
I'm pretty much like Gob Bluth when it comes to this sort of thing so I am so thankful I never heard anything. I did hear my parents talking about sex once and I spun around and went back to my room. I have a friend that heard her mom having sex, found her mom's vibrator, and other such things and I don't know how she…
Somehow, somehow, I remained unaware of my parents' sex life until like last year. I was home from college on break. My mom and I went to Walmart and she was like, "Oh, I forgot something in the pharmacy department. I'll meet you over *points to a location* there."
