Yeah, she’s doing some awfully complicated contortions. For example:

Oh honey. I’m sorry. This is Jezebel. Only white women count here.

HAH. Hillary might not be “asking anyone to vote for her based on her gender,” but her people are certainly relying awfully heavily on the “but Bernie’s supporters are SEXIST” argument. Listen, I’ll happily vote for her if she wins the nomination, and a Clinton presidency would probably be no worse than Obama’s…

No they didn’t. They hid from this shit like cowards because they were afraid that the PC police would take away their progressive cred. Anna fucking Merlan herself has gone apeshit over rapes that turned out to be hoaxes and thrown tantrums over other fake outrages a number of times, and yet she and others are piss…

So, 73 people identified so far, who operated in a city square smaller than half a football field, in a single night, is a “small number” and those who complain are provoking “hysteria”?

Fucking THANK YOU

If they pull shit like this again, I hope they’re stomped to death in real time. Fuck religious fundamentalists of all stripes. You DO NOT get to immigrate to a country then complain that you don’t like how your hosts live. Fuck these assholes.

After the attacks in Cologne, there were accusations that the media weren’t covering them because they were concerned about inciting violence against refugees.

That’s true. He’s not exactly dabbing when he wins.

It’s not known among singers to be hard. It’s NOT hard.

People are looking for a reason to be butthurt. Mulder wasn’t being judgy at all, and the were-creature was just confused and looking for a way out of his predicament. It wasn’t a commentary on transgenderism at all.

I don’t know if the ‘transphobia’ part meant what you think it meant. Mulder’s explanation is so matter of fact that there’s no judgement from him on it. The confusion comes from Guy Mann and only adds to his bafflement over this whole being human thing. Something an animal takes for granted, like gender, isn’t as…

True - Mulder isn’t a character that is known for carefully stated meditations. Trying to suddenly place a carefully constructed description of the transgender experience in the scene could have come off as awkwardly as the shouted gay-denial protestations from that Seinfeld episode (“Not that there’s anything wrong…

Agreed. I find this article to be a tad extra sensitive on the topic. Mulder is clearly not incredibly familiar with the topic and explaining it can be confusing and mildly uncomfortable to some. Especially in a fantastical sense to a very confused were-monster who’s somehow Australian. To the general public this can…

It’s a show about monsters. I didn’t get that the writer was trying to draw a parallel between monster and trans* at all. Mulder fumbled his explanation and it felt appropriate. He’s a forty something year old cis guy that watches a shit ton of porn. He’s not going to get it 100% correct but he tried. The writer…

My mum’s from Wiltshire and now I’m picturing her sour-faced cousin sitting in the corner judging the proceedings in that way that she judges all of the things.

I really have no idea how to handle the Japanese side of things. Styles like “gothic lolita” and words used for anime characters like “loli” make me really uncomfortable but then I think can’t really go around calling out another country’s culture. Even more so ‘cause I don’t live there so I’m just yelling at no one.…

Moreover, Humbert knows he’s evil, and doesn’t care. He delights in it... at first.

I love when he points out that Humbert Humbert is an unreliable narrator but he’s so charming in his writing that he makes you kinda like him, making the reader unreliable too. “Damn! Ain’t that some shit?”

I feel like all people need to do, to get the real message of the book, is read the passage where he describes how he would love to knock Lolita up, so that by the time she has ripened pass the age of acceptance for him, he will have another little play thing ready to go.
