No, I’m saying that people of other ethnicities have also been involved in attacking asians. I pointed out black folks particularly because they are one group that I know that is particularly not into trump, and people with black identities have been involved in multiple violent altercations with asians in the bay…

The thing that complicates matters for me is that, at least where I am, many of the acts of anti-asian violence are being committed by other people of color, especially black folks. There have been numerous attacks on asians by black people in the bay area in the last year (and white, and latino, and middle eastern).…

The evil genius of the republican party is that its policies enrich 1% of the population, but they convince 50% of the voters its good for them becausesomething something socialism mr. potatohead cancel culture. They are going to double the fuck down on white identity politics and the culture wars and voter…

A study came out a few years ago that showed that conservatives were much more generous than liberals, and it fucked with people because it doesn’t fit how we liberals like to view ourselves. People couldn’t admit that maybe there are some good things about people who identify as conservatives. Conservative…

But if you look at how many people vote, it is a fraction of the population, and the people who vote republican are a fraction of that fraction. So you are condemning a state based on at best 30% of its population. Not to mention that republicans especially like to make it really, really hard for non-republicans to…

I’m a californian who has family in Texas. If I drive 30 minutes from my super-progressive area I am in Trumplandia. My texas relatives and their friends are all super progressive democrats who are fucking tired of hearing people from california and new york talk about them like they are goddamn neanderthals.

Right? She had several hits that were songs about exes,and songs about how she had songs about exes, and then acts like it is some horrific act of disrespect to note that she has had multiple exes. Her schitck is so tired to me.

I didn’t mean to imply that calling out racism or sexism was performative or bad. It is our job to call out white people being racist, or men being sexist or abusive. I don’t think of that as being “woke.” I think of that as being a decent person, and conservatives branding that pejoratively is some bullshit they’ve…

I mean, I learned early on that the people proclaiming the most loudly were often overcompensating, selling a story they were trying to get themselves to believe as much as other people. I think buffy is awesome and did great things for TV. it isn’t that surprising to me that the guy behind it was really shitty to the…

I can only talk about my experience, which is in a liberal bubble, and the jockeying for status within that bubble. There’s a difference between calling out actual racism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, etc., and being a self-righteous douchebag.

Also, Political Correctness and Woke Culture both have a shitty aspect of self-righteous in-crowd elitism that sucks. I am a gen xer who has always tried to be an ally, and I hated the humorless self-righteousness of political correct culture (which I always experienced as white folks calling out other white folks to…

I’ll say, as a white cismale, one of my projects/goals/whatever moving forward is to work on reimagining what maleness, whiteness, straightness can look like in an equitable society. What does it mean to be in an equitable, multicultural society? How do I show up? How do I have confidence and pride in my heritage and…

It does seem like much of their platform is just contrarian brand differentiation from democrats. What is infuriating to me is the extent that, through these last four years especially, I’ve learned that a, they actually don’t have any values, b, they will mercilessly spin or ignore facts so that they continue to fit…

I compare it to a dog pooping on the ground, and we all saw it poop, and republicans are like, mmmm, chocolate soft serve! and we are all like, it is literally dog poop, and they are like nuh-uh, it’s chocolate soft serve, and fox news is like, dogs make the best chocolate soft serve with their butts and libs don’t…

Thanks for putting into perspective like that. They are a minority, but a loud, powerful and destructive one.

I LOOOOVED Buffy, really enjoyed his Marvel stuff, and in general have been a fan. At this point I am no longer a fan. It isn’t surprising that a director is an asshole and everything that is being said about him tracks with stories of “difficult” directors that I have heard before (I have no connection to the…

Yeah, she could fight, she was beautiful, she was charming, and she was fucking bad ass. Such a bummer she was also an asshole.

I know. It’s a combination of a, a corporation holding so much power, b, the fact that there are ideas that are politically marketable, that 1/3 of the country believe, that are so fucking awful they’ll get you fired, and the checks and balances we have is hopefully the giant media corporation has more sense than one…

She should have shut up, but I also understand feeling like the fact people were trying to silence her made it even MORE important to talk. Especially because she represents a view point that millions of americans have, just not those who tend to work in film or television. So now the right wingnuts have more fuel to…

I don’t agree with her posts, but I can’t be so glib about someone being fired for tweets. Chuck Wendig was axed from Marvel for being pissed off about Brett Kavanaugh on twitter. That sucks. Totally Marvel’s call, but it sucks. It’s not great that a few corporations hold so much power and can effectively make it…
