Fuck everyone who harassed and bullied her.

You should've stopped after that first sentence
BTW, I find it interesting that Rand never had kids nor did any of her heroic characters. How would her philosophy deal with child-rearing, which is personally unprofitable but socially beneficial? A Randian businessman wouldn’t produce children of their own but would still rely on others to produce children to…
Alexandra Erin made an amusing point on Twitter: These guys miss the whole point of John Galt. The point was that he was a single, unique, irreplaceable individual. Rand would probably hate the fact that these mediocre kids were turning him into some catch-all populist symbol.
As someone who loved ATLA but didn't get involved in online fandom until Korra, I was surprised that Zutara was a thing. Zuko never really had any relationship with Katara before switching sides. His thoughts were always on Aang, his father, or his uncle. She was just another person to fight on his way to capturing…
Don't forget The Last Airbender
I, like most of the fandom, believed that the Blue Fairy was secretly evil or, at least, had her own secret agenda. Even after the show jumped the shark (Cora’s death IMHO) I kept watching because I wanted to see what her endgame was. Then it became clear that no big twist was coming and they couldn’t figure out how…
Maybe she named it Rickon Street because it’s only One Way
“Rian Johnson Understands What Star Wars Needs to Do in Order to Survive”
You think Chuck Bartowski wouldn’t be able to play a smart, good-hearted yet goofy and somewhat immature hero? Really?
“Non white, non male directors are a financial risk” is something you just cannot say in a post-Wonder Woman, post-Black Panther world.
1. Female pirates ARE historically accurate. Look up Anne Bonny, Mary Read, or Ching Shih.
Just because you CAN go anywhere doesn’t necessarily mean you want to go there. If there are small towns whose only appeal to outsiders is as a place for travelers to rest and resupply, then better transportation technology would make them less appealing. You see a similar phenomenon in the real world where freeways…
White people need to stop pretending that their culture doesn’t have irrational or superstitious elements. If building this observatory meant tearing down the Sistine Chapel instead, I expect white people, even atheists, would oppose it.
You’re damn right that I benefit from all that wealth and technology, but only because POC rose up against their oppressors and demanded to be treated like human beings. I’m no revolutionary, I just benefit from their actions. If white men had their way, I wouldn’t be allowed into the store that sold these gadgets or…
The results of colonialism were terrible. Ask any Indian who lived through British-induced famines, any Native American displaced by Manifest Destiny, or any Congoan murdered by King Leopold of Belgium. The results of people rising up against colonialism and demanding that colonizers treat us like human beings were…
Spare us that white man’s burden crap. White people didn’t give us their wealth and technology like some benevolent father figure. They exploited our land and labor to benefit themselves. We only gained access to it after we fought their exploitation and colonialism. And that’s what this observatory fight is about.…

White man: You Hawaiians need to modernize your primitive religion.
