My friend and I on launch night (we are both white) took walks to go catch Pokémon and we went through a church parking lot and into the back of a convenience store and I thought “we look weird as white men, imagine if we were black”

Horrible but not surprising. I think a lot of people assume Bill Cosby’s actions were unusual, when the truth is behavior ranging anywhere from sexual harassment to outright rape has long been seen as one of the perks of fame & power. If you could get Ailes and other men to speak honestly about their actions, they’d…

I don’t think the point is “this is a Pokemon Go specific thing” but rather “oh, look, yet another thing for POC to worry about doing in public”.

Yes, clothing is in this year...

OTOH, @JohnDingell’s timeline is comedy f’n gold:

The issue seems to be he’s not changing cereals for the second bowl. That’s just how it’s done.

Yes! I Iike to raise one eyebrow and ever so slightly curl my lip while maintaining silent direct eye contact for four seconds. Works every time.

Or, there’s always the old standby: “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“Did I? How do you know someone else didn’t wear it?”

Anna, loaded silences and hooded stares can speak volumes. Let the dillhole squirm and splutter his way out on his own.

Seriously. It’s always the smuggest assholes who think they’re the most logical people on the planet who are completely ignorant about how the human brain works - how it reacts to trauma. Hooray for Dunning Kruger!

I think it is a cool development for it to be an established character, and as a way to pay homage to Takei, but greatly diminished if he doesn’t agree. I suppose I believe his opposition should make it a deal breaker, but I wish he weren’t opposed.

Holy hell. I’m over saying the same thing over and over. See my other comments for the answers.

If he goes on to kill another woman, the only person responsible for that action is him. She is not responsible for another human being’s actions.

According to the 1995 Star Treknovel The Captain’s Daughter, Sulu’s daughter Demora was conceived in “a one-night stand with a glamazon.” So making reboot Sulu a happily married gay man would mean that in the original timeline, Sulu was in the closet

It’s too easy to forget about these things when there are literally half a dozen things just as awful and enraging happening every single day.

Why can’t we just assume that Sulu is a happily married bisexual man in an open relationship?

Would it be more palatable if Sulu was a bisexual man in a monogamous relationship with another man, with a daughter he fathered in a one night stand with a woman? Wouldn’t portraying a bisexual in a committed relationship be pushing the envelope even more? My bisexual friends frequently lament the lack of…
