...regarding this kerfuffle:  I suppose there was absolutely nothing "oversensitive" about flipping your shit over the change, right?

Oh, right, I forgot: the accusation of "oversensitivity" only ever goes one way.

That said, I approve of their latest "suck it, unpleasable fanbase" addition.

Apparently, pointing out that a character is a laundry list of bad female-character clichés-and little else-is a sign of internalized misogyny now.

Yeah.  That yutz didn't have a counter-argument, so he pulled a "you're the sexist!" on me.  What gall.

Really; you keep telling people you that you can't take them seriously.  But considering how ( Read more... )

So I make a statement in regards to why I haven't been able to acquire a certain product.  The fact that it's kind of expensive is one of my reasons.  Another is that even if money were no object, there's no guarantee that there would be any available that would actually work for me.

No, it's not more fanwork ban crap this time.  Would that it were anything so tameIt's a fairly well-known fiction author strawmanning, throwing tantrums, playing the victim, and calling some blogger a liar.  This was apparently spurred by a kerfuffle between them a couple of years ago ( Read more... )

Now, see, I'm all for not being an insensitive ass.

But when you go to extremes?  It begins to look less like genuine sensitivity, and more like you're poking fun at people who actually do give a damn by creating a huge straw stereotype.

Just saying.

First off:  Tropes ahead!

Secondly:  Actual bigots do, in fact, suck.

Thirdly:  Someone out there is arguing, apparently without irony, that calling someone a damn fool is ableist.  No, I'm not talking about a ridiculous wank on a certain community, or any of its follow-ups.  (Although that did get pretty wacko.)  This blog claims that saying ( Read more... )
