Yikes. I don't know where exactly on Jez it happened—I saw the discussion here that said we weren't that bad—it was only one person that wrote not-rape as not-enough-to-feel-bad about.

Oh, don't discount the black showrunner exception, with extra points if said showrunner is female and you have "pretty" eyes. Jesse Williams will never want for food or loving. Or work. We were clearly talking about work, and not about casting couches, because casting couches are bad.

Male angst is so HOT.

Albinos are an automatic twofer. Check the Matrix sequels for details.

Apparently on Jez they characterised last week's discussion as "not rape, so no biggie" and after checking the comments, that wasn't actually the prevailing discussion.

If at any point the percentage of black men threatens to outnumber the precise total of the most recent census, you kill the one you've had the longest. No show can be more diverse than America.

He was just showing affection to Maggie! It's not like he raped her.

If you do really comment on the strangers you say you feel are agreeing that you can, take note that you don't know what they thought when they left, or what they posted on their FB or whatever part of the internet they hang out on.

What I give a fuck about and what a mental health professional gives a fuck about do not align, and I don't give a fuck about that.

If I have to point anyone to a well reasoned "We changed our minds, and here is why. Sorry." post, this might be the new leader.

In general, I get a decent amount of written female characters the way I like them—I'm cherrypicking from extensive canons, because I'm not 100% up to date with anyone—I tried that, and gave up screaming.

I've read as much of that article/topic as I'm going to. The kink shaming wasn't subtle, and coming from a community with a tenet of YKINMK (your kink is not my kink—implying you have ones the writer doesn't like, so don't judge and move on) which is probably similar to the fic author's community, well, it reads like…

You really don't see any mocking of watersports? I'm not going to go through it again to cite for you, because it's really not that important to me, but I am surprised that you read the whole thing and didn't notice it.

What a hollow echoing vacuum you seek to live in. I think your horny male comic book writers should fill the comics with nothing but horny white guys. That should be fun, shouldn't it? If no one can write strong black women other than strong black women, it stands that you shouldn't be getting big breasted chicks in…

I'm going to sum it up as "These are mine, you can't like them."

Okay, now this is how you do satire. I dig it.

Is it safe for me to conclude that you don't know the reason virgins and their deflowering are related to unicorns? Or even armed with that knowledge was I totally opaque?

The plant plot has had, what, five minutes so far? All my judgement is reserved on that one—but Amanda Tapping is never a detraction, so I figure that whatever they hand her, she'll do a good job with it.

Don't mistake my predilection for questioning your logic for any sort of giving a shit.

My flatscreen before it did too. And it's not like I'm shopping for that feature. It's just been more than five years since I had a TV that blue screened when set to antenna and there's not an antenna. If Samsung is doing it (last TV was Samsung too) I think it's at least a significant minority if it's a minority…
