This is some Grade A “crazed high school queen bee” rambling.

There are actually several people in the comments claiming that! ETA: you didn’t actually say which “that” you meant so I’m forced to guess, and I’m guessing you mean the claim that people who are interested in this content are troubled and sick.

Haha I honestly want to say “don’t read it!” so you can keep the innocence of the anime, but everyone has their own threshold for fictional things.

Uh, you can't always tell if someone has a problem with alcohol. So your suggestion is really impractical.

Man Usagi Drop basically horrified me... before I go on, I'll ask if you've read the manga or watched the anime. Because the horror only came when I read the manga.

So basically we should treat every pregnant woman like a potential alcoholic? File the whole idea that it’s cool to have the occasional drink under Top Secret and never utter the concept in front of women lest they get Ideas?

There is a known risk associated with *binge drinking*. It’s like saying drag racing is dangerous so you shouldn’t get into a car and drive at all.

I was curious and looked up causes of cleft palates... apparently it's mostly unknown why they happen, but it's generally assumed it's mostly genetic, or possibly due to some types of medication taken early in the pregnancy. The article I read didn't even mention alcohol as a possible cause. Give your friends more…

“It models and rewards unethical, immoral, and illegal behavior in a way that has no strategic or narrative merit beyond its own controvery.”

Hand-wringing over mods is funny; it’s like this article could be about the mods for Bioware games that make the gay or straight characters bi (that’s normalizing the idea you can “convert” someone from their sexuality!!!! zomg!!1) or, if we carry it one step further, that fanfiction or fanart with problematic content…

I disagree, I’ve looked at the photos and can definitely see why they thought her look evocative of Hepburn’s Vogue shoot, in addition to Nyong’o’s elegance and stylishness being reminiscent of the classic, iconic star. Being mistakenly compared to one of the most revered female fashion icons is hardly a slap in the…

To be fair, it's far easier for the average Vogue writer to see Audrey Hepburn influence than African tribespeople influence. I'm glad she corrected them but not terribly surprised they thought comparing her to an iconic fashion name would be the way to go.

I was literally just thinking this. Just pull out your cell phone and start your camera app and say “I’m going to tape this meeting for my records, okay?” If they say no, there’s already some shady business. It’s so fucking sad that things have to come to NEEDING that.

Are you taking issue with the use of the word crazy? It can also mean “senseless”. I am mentally ill and generally have no issue with the word “crazy” but to each their own, of course.

There is a huge difference between “haters hating” and “literally some of the biggest names in the sport dismissing you outright”.

It’s a myopic statement that ignores the fact that when a career is male dominated, the men who dominate it tend to shut out women who would like in by making derisive remarks about them (like Bernie did). Passion for a sport doesn’t just appear in someone, generally it’s encouraged and fostered in novices by those…

Hahaha while I don’t personally like that kind of thing, I imagine some totally normal people are into it. That’s the thing about fetishes, the psychology of them is still fairly mysterious! People who have a spouse, kids, and a mortgage get super hot and bothered by, say, My Little Pony porn. Or inflation porn. It…

The kotaku comments section is not anyone’s office and making that comparison is very silly. I agree that it is fine if someone is uncomfortable with certain fetishes, but I think it's also fine to discuss how fictional versions of things are not harming or victimizing anyone and people should probably save their…

As a woman and a feminist I will not elect someone based solely on their gender. It would be nice to have a female president, but I will take a male president with whom I agree with on issues over a female president I do not.

It’s funny you mention Bond and Heimdall, because YES, people definitely cared Heimdall was black, and freaked the fuck out over it. (just google “Heimdall black” and you’ll see several articles about the debacle) Oh, and Bond... hair color aside, people have talked about the fact that Idris Elba (yep, same dude who…
