No need to be rude. About the 10th time I had to read twice to get my bearings, I was sick of it though.

Please, please stop calling him “Vladimir TrumPutin”. It makes it very confusing to tell who you’re talking about without a close reading.

That is understood. It is simply a matter of degree of acceptability. There is essentially no level of feminine behavior acceptable for a child seen as a boy, transgender or otherwise.

That’s pretty much the same fundamental logic why female same-sex interaction is widely and gladly tolerated in popular media by so many, but male same-sex interaction is still borderline pornographic even in its mildest forms, and when tolerated it usually involves strongly “effiminate” male characters. The…

That is absolutely the image (yes, that specific ad) that floated in my head as I started to write. I think that image may overly prompt us to believe that was much more the norm in its time period than it was, as photos do inflate memory, but it didn’t come from nowhere. But I think it almost certainly still exists,…

I’m possibly misreading what you’re saying here, but if I have it correct...

I was going to say that maybe we should leave penis-having out as a measure of worth. I also wanted to go on to say something about there being women in the group to help drive down my point. But then I looked it up and discovered that every single current member of the group is a man, and there’s only a single female…

Digimon’s 1st three seasons all ran on Fox. It’s 4th ran on UPN which, while notably lower market share, was not “obscure”. Both had extensive toylines. It did fall into relative obscurity after that (Toon Disney/Disney XD and Nicktoons are rare enough in cable packages that I’ll grant it), though the 6th series aired…

What are you talking about? Are you only counting original series stuff and not the followup shows? Because Digimon has aired 6 shows in the US, YuGiOh! had a similar number. Both of which ran until fairly recently.

Did you not hear the music in the trailer? It was a freakin’ NES-style version of that very theme song! My eyes bugged out when I realized. o_o

We’ll get any and every file that appears to paint Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and other related parties in a bad light. Probably even if we really shouldn’t due to legitimate national security or privacy concerns. And if I’m being paranoid, possibly redacted in such a way to remove context that would mitigate said…

Well that would have been three things though.

Did anyone else hope this was going to be the version of the song from the trailer, with all the overdramatic percussion and whatnot layered in? I was in to that version. This is just a boring rehash.

That’s not even half the missing spaces. I counted 11.

Is that what that is? I thought it looked like Alpha 6 from Power Rangers. That didn’t seem right though.

I admit I know nothing about how Ms. Post may have decorated it, but the style of that room is entirely a piece with how he has his Trump Tower penthouse decorated, so I think he’s likely owed plenty of credit.

I just want to take a moment to call out the term “energy executives”. Man, that sounds cool. Way cooler and less evil than what we might have once called them: “oil tycoons”. I’m sure it’s not EXACTLY the same, what with diversification and all that, but pretty sure that’s basically it.

It really almost has to be. If it was something radically different, there’d be rampant disappointment from the collector side of things. And this IS the collector-focused line. Something like Prime or RID or whatnot could get away with taking it in a new direction just fine.

Indeed, Full-Tilt transforms, and has a Titan Master named Necro (AKA Wipe-Out, but apparently that name couldn’t be used for whatever reason).

Huh. I kinda see “half-heartedly trying and failing to fake a smile to cover his crippling depression while everyone else has a good time”. But maybe I’m projecting.
