So, any negative thing, in any society in any situation comitted by a person of any ethnicity boils down to - racism. Now isn’t that convenient!

Male characters with flaws = relatable, realistic writing.

Female characters with flaws = hate crime

women dying? not in my fiction!

this argument often has merit (see: Daredevil’s Bullseye literally driving around with a frozen dead girl) but it’s just as often an argument that women can never die or otherwise be fallible in fiction, or that it’s always, unquestionably, rooted in hatred of women instead of being a…

Eh, she’s not dead. I haven’t read this story and I’m 100% sure she’s not dead.

Whistleblowers are protected when they follow the law and report their information to the Inspector General of their organization or through another sanctioned way. They are not protected when they leak classified information that they are not authorized to disclose. That is a crime.

I don’t think comparing Snowden and Manning to what’s currently happening does our side any favors.

Also, because “whistleblowing” means disclosing illegal activity to the authorities in charge of stopping and prosecuting it, and those leaks constituted neither.

Chelsea Manning isn’t in jail for blowing the whistle. She’s in jail for contempt of court, she can come out whenever she wants, all she has to do is comply with the subpoena.

OK, but if you’re worried about civil war, firearms are still marginally more useful than hot internet takedowns.

Oh yeah,that kid from Covington,KY. The teenager who was threatened and vilified for LITERALLY DOING Nothing......(BLACK TEARS MATTER)

Cue the women who think this story excuses her past sexually violent criminal behavior.

Right, because all cops are evil storm-troopers for you to sneer at , they are all racist brutes and neanderthals, rather than civil servants doing a million things useful and helpful to society and safety every day across the country, in a difficult and sometimes dangerous job. You don’t write about that, because…

I thought cop-hating was reserved for The Root.

Man with three houses who wears suit from Kohl’s is a weird pitch for president, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

They’re explicitly said that they’ve stopped making them because there are so many already on the market that new ones won’t sell, so not exactly the best news. Also, the commentary from gun types is that Colt’s AR-15's have always been more expensive but no better than anyone else’s, and the Colt has been doing the…

I am here for the black communities bad takes on snitches.

Why is your tone so consistently deragatory for someone “snitching” on their fellow violent criminals ffs....you’re choosing to be a part of the problem.

No, I’m definitely going to “Not ALL men” you because absolutely not all men are sexual predators who prey on minors. Come on, now. That’s a really wide and un-nuanced brush you’re using.

I struggle to balance “he’s a shit person”, with “he’s an employee who has not been convicted of anything.” The second is objectively true, and the first is subjectively true. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to work while the wheels of allegation and investigation and hopefully justice continue to turn?
