the harsh reality is that tribes wasn’t making them money. they loved it, which is why they showed that love in this patch, but they have to pay their employees so they can continue working and eating first. they have expanded their company a TON since the launch of smite I expect that they will have a lot more…

Relax. Bernie officially became a Democrat this year, and isn’t going to run as an Independent if he doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. He’s not going to throw the election to the Republicans.

I’m pretty sure a “little” case of voter fraud and disenfranchisement in Jeb Bush’s Florida lost Al Gore that election. Interesting how the narrative has changed such that we blame 2.5% of the population for what was clearly a massive failure of democracy on the state and federal levels.

Yes, not judging someone based solely on probably biased allegations is misogyny; good job trying to make that word meaningless, therefore making it easier for ACTUAL misogyny to flourish.

Addiction turns you into the monster you were always secretly afraid you were. It’s a horrible disease, but one that methodically and ruthlessly strips away your ability to have anything to give to the people who love and rely on you. Weiland’s treatment of his children is inexcusable. No, he didn’t do it “on…

“and the second being that anyone who was really into Star Wars was a target for bullying, derision and general nastiness”

There is like a 25% chance this is an ill-considered performance art project. I hope it is.

Lynch mobs, huh?

Yes. We need to stop eviscerating each other over minor gaffes, especially within and among liberals. That kind of infighting, frankly, is stupid, reactive, and accomplishes nothing but division among allies. It’s dumb. Give people a goddamn break—particularly when you know they’re on your side.

Yep. Also, stories like this make me extremely grateful that I’m not famous, because people would probably be mad at me on the daily for “poorly phrasing” things.

Exactly. I understood what he was trying to say. It was poorly phrased, but it's clear that he meant that he wanted Star Wars to be more inclusive of female fans rather than shun them.

So, this is what feminism at Jezebel has come to?

Omg dude, so much this. I remember when Jez first reported on his comments a week or so ago there were all these people howling about how he had “Erased women from the fandom.” I mean for fuck sakes. I’ll say it again: I always thought it was clear that he was acknowledging that the franchise hadn’t done much to…

Yes. The demand of perfection that a lot of modern progressives have is getting tiring. That used to be the domain of conservatives and more nuanced, sophisticated thought for us liberals. Not so anymore.

I wish there were more room in the modern media world for a bit more easy generosity between folks. It’s wearying to always be demanding apologies, you know? People goof. They say stupid shit. They get tired. And it sometimes feels like we’re all just waiting for someone to piss us off so we can purge some hateful…

The movie had its problems. One being that it was focused on a production company based in Florida where there’s no regulation at all. There was also this weird vibe that the men were disgusting and the women were exploited. That’s a pretty simple dichotomy, and one that rests on the old trope that women are weak and…

It didnt change except you are grinding fates too.

It’s any industry where a person becomes too valuable to challenge. Ghoneshi, Cosby, Deen, all of these people were publicly lauded and often the sole reason a project might be successful or someone else’s career might be made. When that situation exists, consequences have a tendency to disappear as challenging an…

Angel brought a notebook with her to the show with notes she had about the relationship, clarifying that Deen’s behavior “does not represent porn; this represents a specific individual.”

Can we please not feed into the dumb idea that wanting to engage in consensual BDSM is caused by mental illness/leads to mental illness? Plenty of rapists aren’t into BDSM. Being into BDSM does not, over time, turn someone into a rapist. Only rapists are responsible for their rapes, not any of the subcultures that…
