I’m kind of thick but it took me two whole episodes before I was like “wait there aren’t any male characters? COOL” and suddenly realized what it must be like for dudes, after spending my entire childhood/adolescence watching things and thinking “um, this is cool but it would be cooler if there was a woman?” I’m drunk…

Just want to jump in here to back up YouDidThis. This is categorically different from the Vanilla Ice argument. Not sure what it is you aren’t understanding, but there is no musical line in Blurred Lines that matches a musical line in the Marvin Gaye song. Ice Ice Baby copies the intro from Under Pressure note for…

I think the distinction most people make is that Christianity and Islam don’t require payment for membership, so people aren’t pissing their lives away and ending up in massive debt to keep the organization running.

What about these women?

Dancer in the Dark

Man, this is such garbage. Trust me- I’m not normally a fan of this kind of pop music at all. My favorite bands are more along the lines of The Birthday Party, Butthole Surfers, Scratch Acid, and if I want sad music; sure there are better go-to’s. Though I’d take This Mortal Coil over Mazzy Star, who I find kinda…

Oh, lay off it with your pearl clutching. Welcome to 2017- tabloid media is gonna make a story out of whatever stupid shit is going to get idiots like me and you clicking on articles like this. So they asked her about her makeup-free face (as people do to me on a regular basis) and she replied that she didn’t feel…

They were also in need of a Watcher, apparently...

I’m still trying to get my head around Jonathan creating the show Empire!

As someone who genuinely doesn’t wear makeup, period. I don’t see why anyone cares what she does or doesn’t use. The linked article only mentions skincare products, anyway. Maybe she decides to wear makeup one day, too- it makes me angry just thinking about people turning this into a “gotcha” thing. Half of the reason…

I understand and appreciate concern over the frequent misuse of “free speech,” but to be perfectly fair this falls pretty squarely under the umbrella. No- free speech isn’t being violated if you say something stupid and lose a book deal, or tv show or whatever- but the government stepping in and banning ads based on…

It’s too late for me to edit, but I want to clarify my stance: I’m absolutely not trying to minimize the seriousness of anyone going missing- but rather trying to alleviate the fears of the poster who is imagining dumping grounds full of corpses, or another Grim Sleeper, or a massive sex slavery ring. Any of those…

Don’t know if it’ll make you feel any better, but this BBC article claims that it’s not a matter of an increase of missing women, just that the police department recently (this year) began posting every missing person alert to Twitter. Apparently the monthly average has gone down slightly, and most of those reported…

Why is there a hand coming from under the table, resting on the kid’s leg?

Me too, because it’s the only goddamn plausible explanation!

Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not, but it’s a direct follow-up to her saying “Everything’s fine. Of course it’s fine.” Coupled with an intentionally fake smile.

Yes! Everybody talks about how awful the 6th season was, but as someone who has struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, it was so refreshing to see a heroic lead spend an entire season dealing with it. Never before and never since have I seen representation of a badass, strong woman who also happens…

Yes, that alternate reality “crazy Buffy” episode was one of my favorites! 

What I got from that comment was that there’s still a large segment of the population who see porn stars as equatable to prostitutes, and view both as undeserving/incapable of withholding sexual consent. Sad, but true.
