The I’m rubber and you’re glue retort well regarded by incels everywhere.

Hey, at least we feel unearned superiority because of our opinions and beliefs, rather than our skin color and place of birth.

I’d be interested to hear if there’s a single, solitary queer woman on Earth who objects to watching Cate Blanchett play a lesbian on film.

I’m not dismissing anything. I’m saying that if I told you “I’m queer,” what more would you know about me, or my life, than you did before? What would you know I meant by it, when there are so many things that fall under that term?

people who complain about queerbaiting are the most insufferable people

This headline was confusing to me because I’ve always seen queerbaiting defined as hinting at a character’s or characters’ queerness but never confirming it. There ought to be another word for a straight actor playing an explicitly queer character. Queerface might work if it didn’t sound so much like a 1980s junior…

what a weirdly hostile reaction to what sounds like a healthy and respectful dialogue between two creative professionals who have worked together for multiple years

“that’s when you walk away from the job not ask the job to change itself...”

I can’t tell if you are sarcastic but I’m certainly not saying they were wrong to dump Snyder (although I have no idea why Gunn would want the perhaps impossible job of attempting to salvage the DC movies). My point is that it’s not like the people at Netflix or Warner really know what’s going on what with them…

There are too many crazy people on the internet to hold celebrities responsible for their fans’ behavior. Each of us is responsible for our own actions. I know when Snyder participated in some sort of online charity streaming event thing he criticized some group that had been supportive of him (in order to distinguish…

I don’t think the people in charge of Warner/HBO/Discovery or Netflix have the first, second, or third clue how it works either. I think the entertainment scene will look far different in a decade and once famous brands like Warner and Netflix will be just memories or just brand names to be put on the latest scam like…

I’m as queer as they get and I thought Velma was mean-spirited trash. It was pretty upsetting because Velma is a character I personally love and was excited to see this show for; I was excited to see a queer Velma and i’m fine with diversifying— making Velma brown doesn’t really seem out of place to me. The humor…

Here’s the thing though:

Im a South East Asian woman but I think this show is trash even if I took away it’s roots from Scooby Doo. Velma is literally an entitled brat in the show. She thinks Norville belongs to her to boss him around, she’s the embodiment of internalized misogyny for hating on other women who’s not her mom and hate them cuz…

That’s really cool how you, a white man, gains so much authority on this topic thanks to your brothers wife. What other powers does your brothers Pakistani wife give you?  Racist moron.  

But can we have the opinion that its a mean-spirited awful show anyway? Is that allowed, oh guardian of internet criticism?

All representation is good.

To be clear: This is hardly the first time Velma has been essayed by an actor of color (see Gina Rodriguez in 2020’s Scoob!, and Hayley Kiyoko in two Scooby Doo! movies in 2009 and 2010).

“Is the execution perfect? No. Is it a fun time? Definitely”

Most of the criticism I’ve seen of Velma has run along the lines of it being smug, mean-spirited, and not nearly as smart as it thinks…with the related criticism that the Scooby Doo connection only exists because the show wasn’t good enough to be made on its own merits.
