That house Asian thing is particularly bullshit when Cho has put herself out there as a critic of Swinton getting the role. It’s like, “I speak for Asians when I say we’re upset at you.” “Can you explain why you think people are upset about this thing, so I can understand.” “This bitch thinks I speak for Asians, fuck…

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

Yes, Asian people should play Asian roles. But Swinton’s role isn’t an Asian role, it’s the role of a white woman, which she is. The characters/roles in the film are not the same as the characters in the original comic. There is an Asian role in the film, which has been filled with an Asian actor.

Why isn’t it ok?

Being white means nothing in this situation. Here was one human being trying to earnestly relate to another human being of a different culture, and then said other person went on to be a two-faced ass about it for no reason.

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…

Why is Jezebel keep pushing the narrative that Russia, for God’s sake, caused HRC’s loss??!! Wikileaks came from our own people. It was Podesta’s emails reveal of Hillary using the DNC as her personal plaything, coupled with the Democratic Party’s own corruption in the primary, that caused many formerly staunch…

Fuck

The Electoral College is the system we have. It is ridiculous, but it is the known set of rules.

The left has shown itself to be as equally deplorable as the right.

its more than a little different. If you believe both of them did it, then Affleck is a douchebag who treats women like shit and has harrassed them, then payed them what the court believe they deserved. If you believe Parker did it then he raped a woman and then ripped her in the press until she killed herself. While…

If this is a movie review, why did you devote half of its space to repeating gossip about an actor’s personal life. I don’t support (any) Affleck either. In fact, they’re both dicks. But make up your mind what you are reporting: a movie’s merits or a tabloid snatch ‘n grab.

Another entry in the long running series “Bobby Finger Doesn’t Like Any Movies.”

“One can be for freedom of religion while criticising said faiths.”

Yes, and when you deliver a “sick burn” no actual heat is involved. Isn’t language fun?

It’s just such an insane hypocrisy that people on the left are A-OK with absolutely eviscerating people for espousing sexist, misogynistic, violent, warmongering and otherwise reprehensible ideas, but when you wrap it all up in Islam then all of a sudden they’re beyond criticism.

I thought Gamergate was dead. I guess they get periodically revived whenever the gaming press decides they need a boogeyman.

While nobody’s debating that Leo’s a douche, including Leo himself apparently, people who try to police the phone use of others are generally assholes.

Get off your fucking phone and say hi to the great Lily Tomlin! = I’m hanging out with an icon so you’ll have to acknowledge me!

American consumers is biggest road block to workers rights. Time and time again, Americans reward companies that exploit workers. Until consumers recognize their power and their role as ethical consumers, this is pissing in wind.
