Why isn't New Orleans Mother's Day parade shooting... →
“American tragedies don’t occur on the southside of Chicago or the New Orleans 9th Ward. They don’t occur where inner city high school kids shoot into school buses or someone shoots at a 10-year old’s birthday party in New Orleans. Or Gary, Indiana. Or Compton. Or Newport News. These are where the forgotten tragedies happen and the cities are left to persevere on their own.”

All I want is an episode of My Little Pony where the antagonist is male pony with a fedora cutie mark who goes around harassing everyone for pursuing their own interests instead of dating him and then the mane 6 use the elements of harmony to banish him to an actual place called the friendzone and where he is kept prisoner until he learns to appreciate having girls as friends and...

Because I Apparently Want People to Be Mad At Me...
logic-and-art:
I recognize your point, although I think that it’s a bit premature to judge reclamation as an entirety. Any word can hurt when it’s volleyed at you in a negative light - I am a Jewish person, and I am so proud of my heritage, but of course it hurt when someone shouted “Jew!” at me while bouncing pennies off of my face. Do you think I can feasibly stop self-describing as Jewish?

I keep seeing people writing about rape culture and saying “victim-blaming and slut-shaming” right next to each other and… apparently not noticing the sharp contrast there??

Can We PLEASE Stop Using the Term "Slut Shaming?"
Like, we already had a word for it. It’s called “MISOGYNY.”
I just saw an article about “slut shaming” being written into middle-school dress codes, and all I can think is “COULD WE PLEASE NOT?” Like, these are middle-school girls. Must WE TOO label them with the term “slut” while claiming to have their backs? They hear that word enough from...

talking about race on the internet
Marco: Well, Debbie thinks this is all about her biological clock.
Stormy: She stopped screaming enough to tell you that?
Marco: No no no no, the other Debbie. Debbie the teacher.
Stormy: Oh, you mean... black Debbie.
Sparks: Woah woah woah, why is she... black Debbie?
Stormy: Not in a bad way, it's just to tell them apart because she's... black.
Sparks: Well, why don't you call her Debbie, and call the other one... white Debbie.
Stormy: White Debbie? That's stupid! I know she's white.
Marco: Then why do you call the other Debbie "black Debbie?" You know she's black!
Stormy: Hey, first off, I really don't think we should be talking about this in front of Dr. Quinn.
Quinn: Listen man, you're missing the point. What if everybody went around calling you "white Stormy?"
Stormy: You mean there's a black Stormy?
Quinn: ... No.

sushigrade replied to your post: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is Filming Now in Rochester
ASM disappointed me (and actually made L angry) because the only POC of note was a mustache-twirling caricature and the female characters were just props for Peter’s male teen power fantasy. Also, “lizards don’t regenerate. That’s salamanders.”
Yeah, that’s a pretty big problem with all of...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is Filming Now in...
The production team has selected my humble city to stand in for Spidey’s home turf for several chase scenes in the film, due to the fact that Rochester, NY will let them get away with certain vehicular stunts that the city of New York won’t allow. I don’t know if it will be at all recognizable after editing, but it’s kinda neat, and it will bring a lot of money into a city...

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people who can’t understand that this shit effects real actual people in real actual ways?!
I am sick unto death of people reducing these conversations down to “a children’s costume” or “a children’s movie” or “a children’s book” and dismissing the whole thing, as if the fact that the item in question was meant for children somehow makes...
