The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the best aquarium. Fight me.

But some of what he says here isn’t. We ‘re quick to label people we don’t agree with.

Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.

Jumping in to stress, if there are those who wish to argue it, that this is not “criticism.” Criticism is measured and well considered. Criticism makes an argument. Criticism makes a case. Criticism comes from a position of good faith and respect.

The polar opposite extreme would be a group of women doxxing and threatening to rape video game developers for games they didn’t like, not a woman voicing her opinions on a youtube channel.

Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…

That’s what gets me about that film—Tracy Flick was both absolutely correct in that she was far and away the best candidate, and she was abused by the teacher who had sex with her but nobody would talk about it. Everybody wanted to blame her for everything; both what she did do in cheating, and everything else that…

“The third world overall benefited from colonialism”.

Yes, you fucking jackass. That’s EXACTLY what I’m saying.

It sucked. But there are not only countless succesful male comedians out there doing similar caliber stuff but many of them have been vocally anti-trump, pro-gun legislation, etc. Those dudes don’t get this.

I agree. I usually don’t judge celebrities too harshly either, and judging other people’s feminism can be dangerous. But I think companies deserve to be side-eyed when they take the least controversial, easiest to perform parts of a movement and use them to promote their products. Taylor’s personal views here are…

Thanks. I read this but got bogged down by the Lena Dunham discussion and forgot how I felt and then you went and articulated it.

I know this sounds petty, but she annoyed me last year when she appeared on one of the late night shows wearing a pair of jean shorts, sneakers, and a tank top. It’s like, she was trying so hard to act like she wasn’t trying at all.

Tavi Gevinson is one of the biggest cultural dissapointments. Especially in this ripe new political environment. I loved all her writing and have followed her from the very beginning. She had intellectual vigor, character, and societal insight like no other.

Regardless of all this shit you just wrote, you said her going to rehab was fragile when she went there after getting chemo for lupus and all that caused her mental health issues. Unless you have been through this personally, you can leave the “fragile” nonsense at the door.

I don’t think celebrities are necessarily obligated to voice political concerns, but when TS uses feminism as marketing, I think she somewhat opens herself up to this kind of criticism.

Last October, the 24-year-old checked into rehab to deal with mental health issues which at the time she attributed to “side effects from lupus,” canceling the 34 remaining dates of her Revival tour. She spoke to Vogue for the first time about rehab, which she calls “one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it was the…

it’s awesome that she’s learning DBT! I think it’s mainly used for people diagnosed with Borderline Personality, but it’s honestly so amazing for all people. It should be used to treat more people with mental illness of any kind.

I’m thinking that he was going for the “tragic mulatto” trope due to her Mexican/Italian mixed heritage.

I’ve always loved this movie, partly for the reasons discussed in this interview. I remember watching this movie as a child with my mother — herself a German-Jewish refugee from Berlin who left on the Kindertransport at 15 — and seeing the tears in her eyes as she, too, sang along to the Marseillaise, and as she told…
