Well then we have a lot of racist college campus otakus to track down and shame.
Nothing. 0 out of 10 on my outrage scale.
If they're comfortable with taking a racist, hypocritical stance, they should go for it. Otherwise they should think about treating all cultures with the same level of respect.
When do we get to start charging the cops with sexual assault?
Kimonos are a part of spiritual customs in Japanese culture and they are worn as costumes for dress-up without anyone batting an eyelash. This is an issue on Jezebel because the zeitgeist sees AIAN cultures as needing more outside protection than, for example, the Japanese culture. You are absolutely justified in…

The NFL is the best football league in the world. If you are the best football player in the world, you will play in the NFL. The NBA is the best basketball league in the world. If you are the best basketball player in the world, you will play in the NBA. Repeat with NHL and MLB.
Deadspin writers (and many American Deadspin consumers) can't handle watching or supporting a league that isn't considered the best in the world. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL - these are all alone at the top of the world with no significant competition.
I played Secret of Evermore in the SNES JRPG heyday and hated it. Secret of Mana was a little bit better but I've never understood the hype.
