Here's my theory: The writers wanted season 6 to culminate with Buffy having to fight one of her inner circle turned evil. The Willow thing just doesn't work well: Tara has to be refrigeratored, and magic confusingly (and kind of problematically) goes from symbolizing homosexuality to symbolizing drugs.

There's a weird viewpoint among people online… kind of this idea of "the world is shit and so we are all shit and it is naive and foolish to act like fairness is good." Like standing up and admitting there is no morality but Power is some rite of passage, some way to be mature. I don't get it.

It's weird how Warren was, at least for me, the first glimpse at the "nerd as evil, bitter, misogynist weakling" character, and how, in the ensuing years, that archetype has completely taken over our politics.

There's no other band, right? This person set up a song to play to could drum over it.

keeeeripes that was boring.

Wasn't she the president when MLK encouraged black people to get their shit together on the alternate-universe episode of The Boondocks?

I'm legit confused about where the line is between hoax and legit artistic license. It's not a hoax that Man or Astroman are robots from the future or that Lord T and Eloise are eccentric millionaires, so why is it a hoax that Lustfaust is a band from the 70s?

How is the White House simultaneously bragging that everything important comes directly to the people on Twitter and also acting like banning news organizations from press events is a big meaningful threat?

I mean, it depends. Are you a Randian true believer who thinks the ability to make money in any way you can is a moral good?

I'm sure all fans go through this, and I hope it's clear I don't mean anything by this, but….. they're really all STRAIGHT? All THREE of them?

Oh, I can't agree with this. The McElroys' absolute delight at the things they can make, and the way they develop the character from the images, are my favorite parts.

I got into them via Monster Factory too, and it's still my favorite thing they do. It's amazing how they take something that could spin off such mean-spirited jokes (creating ugly people) and making it feel kinda uplifting and positive.

This is harsher than I mean it, but… has it occurred to you that this "pro-censorship agenda" is in your imagination? Who the hell is excluding you and what does this exclusion look like?

I was honestly talking more about the people in the comments, who care more about their bullshit definition of free speech than they do about egalitarianism.

The amazing thing for me, with this, is not how many people want to be "anti-PC" and still told they're good people… I knew about that. It's how many people want to be "anti-PC" and still told they're good LIBERALS.

Where exactly does it say that people should stop watching his show?

I'm actually legit bewildered how on earth you can read this and see it as some kind of authoritarian bullying and not… just a person writing their opinions about a cultural and political figure.

Just jumping in here to let you know that later on in the thread, The Most Greatest Ever bragged to me about how he knows debates because he once read a book about logical fallacies.

Sure, but likewise, I suggest you not let "people who criticize halloween costumes are destroying liberalism!!" be the hill YOU die on.

I don't know the case of the particular lecturer you're talking about, but I DO know that it's not representative of how people typically criticize these things. One of the problems with things like this is it's easy to have a library of overwrought, extreme things your ideological enemies have done, which you then…
