Good.

No, good comedy relies on being fucking funny. If you are, you can do that without insulting people, particularly if they don’t deserve it. If you aren’t, I’ll expect to see you on a comedy central roast sometime - and nowhere else.

There hasn’t been a good blonde joke told for about the last 200 hundred years, give or take.

Smart spin. I don’t know the full intent of this fundraiser, but if you’re trying to create a narrative of “it takes big money to even get close to that other politician”, this is an easy topic.

I’m with you on the “MoS made this extraordinarily easy” idea.

Ok, well to your first point, I’m not disagreeing with Lois Lane Syndrome, or that Supes would’ve been able to keep his identity going around people. That would totally work - mostly. I say “mostly” because it wouldn’t hold up under scrutiny. It would definitely keep him from being suspected, but once someone had…

That’s fine, but that shouldn’t mean you must continue to suspend disbelief if the story doesn’t need/want you to.

I don’t think that’s true. I’ve seen explanations as to why Superman’s “disguise” is better than it would appear to human perception (massive posture and personality differences to dissuade people from even checking, Though I’ll note that MoS doesn’t really show that, either), but I’ve never seen a reason why he…

My theater actually cheered at that scene. That’s what it looks like when worldbuilding pays off.

To be fair on the secret identity complaint, those simply would not hold up in today’s real world, superman’s especially.

That’s completely irrelevant. You’ve provided an excellent reason not to buy the game, but not a reason to prevent people from stealing it.

You’re ignoring the main issue for the minor one. “sexy schoolgirl costumes are bad” is this essayists opinion, and that’s cool. The dancers present might not feel that way, and that’s cool. But it is a fact that that is not appropriate for a Microsoft tech event.

Again, I’m not talking about what little “was said” in this particular situation. I’m talking about the society in which we live.

Yeah, this time.

It’s because boys bullying boys is not considered “positive” behavior, unlike boys bullying girls. “boys will be boys” is one (bad) thing, but a boy is pretty much never be told that he is being bullied because the other boy *likes* him.

Good to hear, but there are a few key differences between the two....

You can tell someone is an asshole when they’ve connected “morality” to “rules”.

Might as well let them get their jokes in, because Lord knows we’re getting ours.

Because .hack has way too much existential horror to be marketable.

1. Yes, until they are found guilty in a court of law. Have you read “To Kill a Mockingbird”? That’s a really, really common situation in American History, and Atticus Finch wasn’t usually around to prevent those situations from becoming unjust.
