That is no exaggeration

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.

“Variety’s Editor in Chief Claudia Eller reacted to the news by writing, ‘Are you kidding me?? Is this unprecedented???’”

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)_/¯ 

Sigh. And away we go. Next question: “What role does violent video games play in encouraging mass shootings?”
