Spin slightly harder, and you MIGHT just turn into Wonder Woman.

As I said in the Ronson piece, there's this divide coming up where minority speakers are starting to find their voices and demanding they get a chance to speak with more clarity, and the usual asshats who scream of culture war have their bile up as a response. And caught in the middle are the good white liberal guys…

That moaning does seem to be a key component of those in the Sad Puppies field of SF. There's one author (who I'm not naming because he's got a reputation for backsearching and barging into comments) whose go-to screed seems to be, "Why do these liberals act like I'm the conservative Antichrist when I always try to…

Man, I don't know if you're trying to outpace Kevin Williamson for Most Rote Responses to an AV Club Piece, but you are certainly running laps around him thus far.

He also once said, "Well, I KNOW it's awful that Malala got shot in the face… but if it keeps other girls from going to school…"

For context: he was kicked out for writing an article calling black writer and fellow SFWA member N. K. Jemisin a "half-savage." And then using the SFWA Twitter feed to publicize it. John C. Wright then left the SFWA to protest the expulsion of the screaming butthurt racist who is willing to rationalize acid attacks…

The books are also much, MUCH more accurate about the myths. That bit in the movie where Hades turns out to be a villainous dick hurling hellfire everywhere? Yeah, that was for the movie.

Sadly, this seems to be a common trend across multiple media that sell themselves as "realistic" about geopolitics. Homeland made its bones selling itself as an intelligent thriller… and then it portrays one of Beirut's more cosmopolitan streets (seriously, we're talking the city's equivalent of Rodeo Drive) as a…

Man, fucking Shamrock. All the goddamn Irish stereotypes aside, she had one of the most metal power sources in history - she channeled the souls of angry war dead, still enraged by the conflicts that had claimed their lives - and used them to… alter luck. Slightly. It's like harnessing the force of a hurricane and…

I feel like we've reached a point in popular consciousness where minority groups who've traditionally been on the outside and had to kowtow for representations are starting to recognize that they have cache and a presence via social media, and are starting to be more demanding about proper representation rather than…

SJW originally emerged as sort of a blanket descriptor for the "worst of Tumblr" crowd - not the people who are strident about social justice, but more often than not, the kids who get on Tumblr, get exposed to this vast raft of concepts, and then go about them in all the wrong ways (like claiming that white people…

I remember when Gail Simone was still doing a column, and she wrote that story for it where Daredevil's "gritty Hell's Kitchen" styling runs right into Bullseye getting a latte at Clinton's latest Starbucks.

Yeah, I kinda wonder where people are getting "camp" out of the series that included an arc where the Spot used people for slave labor by extending his powers to keep their heads separated from their bodies.

Also, has there ever been an incident where Matt took on the case of somebody he busted as Daredevil? I've got a feeling he'd stay the fuck away from those cases to avoid any sort of conflict of interest.

Well, perhaps one of them is black while the other is slightly darker black. Ever thought of that?

See also: the casting call for day players on "Straight Outta Compton" that pretty much openly stated "We're using the paper bag test for this one, ladies."

Wasn't the genie on that show really, really white, too? There's this unfortunate trend in some Arabic/Asian-coded productions where the heroes are played by white Western actors, and then the producers find the brownest person they can think of to play the villain (see: Prince of Persia, The Last Airbender).

"Krieger, you will tell me what happened or I will LITERALLY emasculate you."

Man, I hope so. I know for a while they were saying the Green Lantern session wouldn't be recorded for posterity, so if they changed their minds on it… well, we all win.

These comments need more "Bitch Session."
