I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming Static Shock series, but I'm kind of meh on the idea of Jaden being cast. His acting just doesn't impress me very much, but it's been a couple of years since I've seen him in a movie and it's very possible that he's gotten better, so maybe he'll surprise me. It also really bums me out that Dwayne McDuffie isn't alive to put input into the new series :(

Not news in a world sense, but my sister in law has her due date for her second child, who will be saying hello to the world August 4th.

Everyone is appropriately excited.

To be honest, although I do consider myself a feminist, I don't have much faith in that argument at all.

The social justice movement criminalizes racists, sexists, homophobes, transposable, and just general scum of the human race. These are good people to hate.

Awww. You wound me, anonymous commenter.

This would be why I stopped writing long fic no matter how often I'm asked to and how shitty people have gotten in their little "I don't read short fic" bubble.

It's not worth being poked for updates, and harassed if (god forbid) I lose interest in a novel length piece.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-24 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry that you feel that way.

What do you mean by 'anonbashed', though?

AYRT

I generally like it with on-point characterisation, yes. I especially love, if the author can get the edge of danger and safety right, when a character finds an unlooked for safety at the hands of an in-character enemy or opponent. Because the circumstances changed, because there was a space where mercy was allowable/advantageous, because some evils go beyond what even an enemy is willing to countenance. That kind of story. I love that so much. I like the spaces where all the dangers are so very real, and all the safeties are so hard-won and bitterly carved out, but they're there nonetheless. Someone made them, and made other people safe inside them.

I don't know. I have moods where that so very cathartic and reassuring to me.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Men%27s_rights_movement#Equal_rights_vs._sexism This might clear things up for you. The problem is that the MRM as it stands today is indistinguishable from the "manosphere."

It's basically useless as an ideology. While there are some groups that don't engage in misogyny, the truth is that the feminist movement, contrary to what you might believe, is the better choice to stand with if one is interested in advancing the cause of men in terms of equality, because the problems men face today -- gender roles, fathers' rights, toxic masculinity, the fate of gay men or effeminate men, etc. -- are borne out of a patriarchical system.

With, of course, the only criteria necessary to be considered one of those people being disagreement with the social justice movement.

So, yes, pretty much exactly what I said.

Re: MRAs

(Anonymous) 2015-05-24 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Those experiences, Are they based on you seeking out members of the MRM independently and talking to them? or being linked to them from third parties?

I'm at a point where if I vaguely recognize an actor I assume they were in Band of Brothers or Harry Potter.

I knew Nicholas Holt was in Mad Max but I still have a really hard time with him as the zombie from Warm Bodies. Must be the makeup.

If 19 people want equality and the 20th wants to kill all white men, stop pointing at the 20th and saying that's what social justice is.

That...is really weird. I can see Liam Neeson, but Jim Carrey? Is he playing a comedic role?

Coming across them in communities that I visit, and generally in the normal course of my routine as an Internet users, mostly.

The social justice movement is much larger than dumb teenagers/early 20-somethings who just discovered leftist thought and are obsessed with ideological purity. Your argument is insultingly reductive.

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2015-05-24 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's... actually pretty much accurate to say that the Imperials secretly hate anyone who isn't a High Elf (although they purport not to and instead just kind of let the conquered do their thing, not unlike the Mongol hordes). Whereas the Stormcloaks are just kind of openly assholes to anyone who isn't a Nord.

This was from what flavour text I could garner from talking to npcs, mind you. I am not sure if there was something I might have missed in my playthrough but it seemed like both options were not to my Redguard advantage.

Well if you were five, I'd say these comments were too much but presumably you're an adult.

(Anonymous) 2015-05-24 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. I'll just stand for equality and be neither.

Also, I won't blame all the world's problems on the boogeyman known as the Patriarchy.

Man, the Aristocats was hands-down my favorite movie when I was about four, 'cause I've always been a big dork about cats (and animals in general, really), and I still watch it from time to time on Netflix. Good times, good times.

I don't think it's necessarily the same, though.

White power movements are ridiculous, because white people have it better pretty much everywhere. They're just kicking an already marginalised group when they're down. While the same could be said for MRAs and women, I don't think it's the same. The current system with its rigidly defined gender roles does affect men in a few key areas e.g. the idea that men shouldn't like or shouldn't be involved in child-rearing means that (in the UK and USA at least) men don't get the same amount of paternity as the mothers of their children). That has a backlash for women too - maternity leave is used to justify the wage gap.

That's not to say that I don't think women have it a lot worse, because we do. It's just men do face specific instances of prejudice based on their gender.

Monday wouldn't be good. There are a lot of Americans here and Monday is Memorial Day.

So you're stupid then? Really really stupid?

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2015-05-24 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Not OP but I think they just wanted to talk about how Disney fucked up a lot of girls perception of self. But people started calling there five year old self stupid, saying there current self is mentally five, and calling them a troll for saying evil so they said fuck ya'll and left.

Yours was about the only comment on point about the secret.

I don't really blame them FS! has been extra dickish lately.
