Honestly, I think this is an American-specific problem. If you read the comments on Adele’s IG post, the majority of Africans, Jamaicans, and Black British people see no issue with it and consider what she’s doing a form of flattery and appreciation. Now if she was in blackface I don’t think people would be as happy…

Now don’t get me wrong - I think Jenna did an amazing job of accountability, but I mean I honestly don’t see how new content creators are less problematic than old. Or how they need to make room for more younger creators — youtube doesn’t have a size cap.

She didn't do blackface. She had a bad, dark tan because she was a young woman from New Jersey who worked in a tanning shop. 

First of all, Jenna Marbles didn’t do blackface. She had a dark tan when she worked in a tanning shop. Tacky? Yes. Blackface? No. She had that tan in every video at the time.

So basically, she created a meme that’s now just catching on and she’s big mad about it. I’m not saying black women don’t often get the shaft end of this but what she invented was a meme ffs, not an actual tangible product or even a culturally unique thing like a dance or catch-phrase or something like that.

Goddamn,…

THIS. In Ca, most of the recent cases of child abuse involved the kids being “homeschooled”. I honestly don’t know the answers- the adopted kids were abused, and the most recent stories of missing/murdered abused kids in CA involved the biological parents. Family Reunification is the goal for Children’s services, and…

Ghostbusters fans need to just let go. The movies happened they were okay but it’s over. It’s not a good enough concept to sustain itself 30 years later. 

Please. Tell me, a woman, more about how I, as a female gamer, don’t actually experience sexism in gaming.

Her leg flips out, but it’s clearly after he’s pushed her over. His arms stick out, she falls over, her leg swings back in a (failed) attempt to counterbalance.

And people on twitter are trying to say that she kicked him or tried to trip him and that’s why he pushed her!

It’s unfortunate, because I really, really liked A Girl Walks Home Alone, but this interview is...ugh.

Another installment in “Rich talks to insufferable filmmakers you’ve never heard of.”

A reenactment of this interview, and the subjects process of introspection:

Oh, fuck this woman.

If the goal of this interview is to make me not really want to watch any of this woman’s work then you’ve achieved it.

You know how there’s a kid in high school that draws a cartoon of Bugs Bunny suckling from the teet of a cow, and the cow has a dollar sign on it, and then the kid is like, “MY ART IS SOCIAL COMMENTARY!”

That’s basically Banksy. It’s very surface level social commentary that feels more like the graffiti equivalent of a…

Don’t feel bad, though. There IS such a thing as a “statue of limitations”.

A wheelchair AND a neck brace... look, seriously, how can this poor old guy possibly be a danger to ANYONE...we should totally let him g...... ooooh, you sly old fox!!!
