Don’t worry, it’s still worth writing off. It only ever reached heights of kind of fun, before swirling down the drain towards shitty again.

Kids color & gender code pretty quickly in life, from my own experience. I was only allowed to be Sailor Mars or Sailor Mercury when with my white friends in elementary school - because those ones looked Asian. If there was a Disney Princess thing in middle school, once Mulan came out I had to argue to not be her.

If how much I kept losing it on people who were sharing blatantly false information like “Liberal Media Chicago Tribune endorses Trump” (they endorsed Gary Johnson, one op-ed writer wrote a devil’s advocate piece for Trump) and “Harrison Ford urges fans to vote for Trump” (It was a photoshopped Reddit AMA pic) that

As someone above pointed out:

Live in & love Shanghai and I still agree with your comments. Shanghai is a really well-ordered city these days, but the problem with being well-ordered is a certain level of blandness.

He is basically John Barrowman’s twin brother

I can’t believe I’m wading into this but... Goku is an Asian name - he’s Sun Goku, the Monkey King, the superhero of Chinese mythology. He has a monkey tail in the comics. There was never any question about him being Asian-looking, even if the comics itself was never like “HEY BUT THEIR ANCESTRY IS FROM JAPAN.”

I have been harassed by cops before. Never was I worried that they were scared enough of me to pull a gun on me, or that I would possibly have a gun pulled on me.

Seriously, is this an issue that is hard for you in any English-speaking country (and most European-speaking countries beside)? TRY to find an entire day’s worth of programming that doesn’t have her skin color represented as some sort of “good guy.” Just try.

Well, that’s not TOTALLY true, because if you look at the pure numbers, the whole being “unarmed and shot” happens to black people more. Like, of course cases of white people being shot exist. At the same time, the likelihood of them being shot is not anywhere in correlation of their likelihood to shoot cops (88% of

I wish they had emphasized that more tbh. Watching her tear through robots like they were paper was just offputting, especially when we’d gotten a taste of what a realistic person’s fight scene would look like in Daredevil. Watching her kick ass, but struggle with it/dispatch in a non kickflippy way, because robots

I won’t say an opinion, but factually, here’s where to look if you want to see people frothing at the mouth about Black Hermione:

Just FYI, the moon rabbit features heavily in Chinese and Japanese mythology, which is why she’s the Moon Princess Usagi. And the Rabbit people see on the moon looks like it’s next to a mortar and pestle, so on full moon festivals, you do actually eat rice cakes because the rabbit on the moon is making them.

You mean like Hamilton the musical? Winning!

If it was truly about upping the appeal for selling to international markets, they would’ve cast an Asian person.

This... looks like somebody’s terrible fantasy fan fiction. I look forward to the “How Did This Get Made” episode about it.

I thought it was built in and I was supposed to have a poignant moment of staring between my character and Preston Garvey. I had just told him about losing my baby and he looked at me with so much compassion that we were both rendered speechless.

I know, right?

There are tons of popular culture things that don’t interest me. I don’t click into an article specifically about them to whine about how people are interested in it and then try to paint myself as some sort of cultural martyr.

Well, people did in fact try to prohibit alcohol in large part because it made a lot of men beat their wives in an era where you weren’t allowed to divorce your husband for beating you. Not to mention a lot of teetotalers I know are so because they had extremely bad experiences with alcoholics in the past so...

Yes, I agree, and so I guess what I should say is that definitely just about anything would be better than what GTA V has right now. We ladies are begging for crumbs with GTA V (and maybe that’s also why I have more trouble playing through it than - say - Witcher).
