I love how big lips are being called “Kylie Jenner” lips, because you know, black women never had full lips! No, Kylie Jenner created them.

I love how beards are considered a “new trend,” because Sikhs and Muslims having been growing them out do centuries! I also love how all the models featured on “beard blogs” are all white, because men of colour don’t have beards!

Man buns are completely a new concept because sardars and samurais never existed!

That thing on your forehead is COMPLETELY just a random “body gem” you stuck on, because it has absolutely NO resemblance to a bindi whatsoever.

That hair you haven’t washed in five weeks with twigs and dirt stuck into it is TOTALLY locked. It’s not like dreads have a sacred/cultural significance to black people and Hindu sages!

I’m seeing a thinkpiece on why Jessica Jones will beat Supergirl and, like…

*Grabs Megaphone*

Women are not subject to the rules of Highlander! There can be more than one female-led superhero show! They can serve different demographics and interests! Stop pitting all women against each other in some sick, subtly sexist Battle Royale!

*puts down Megaphone* … *picks up Megaphone*

Did anyone lose a Megaphone? I found this one and it has the name Brittany on it but I’m not Brittany, so like…

I find this especially idiotic because it’s not like they’re competing for ratings since Jess Jones is a fucking Netflix show that can be watched literally whenever and however people want. It’s not like people have to choose between them or anything.

“There’s a second female-led superhero show with powers.”

“Well, shit.  Pack it up, we’re going home.”

“What’s going to replace us?”

“They’ve already greenlit a new show about the manly pain that can only be felt by able-bodied straight white men as they make their manly way through a conflicted world.”

“…shit.  We never stood a chance.”

You would think that any competent show runner would look at the popularity of a similar show and think, “Wow, there’s really a market for shows with female superheroes! We need to stress what the two shows have in common in our ads!” Not “People like that show a lot, even though ours been around for four whole weeks longer. Clearly no one could like both! We will never acquire a bigger audience. We should give up right now!”

Jessica Jones is a show only on Netflix, that dropped all at once, and is only 13 episodes. Supergirl is on one of the Big Four networks, on a channel that is making efforts to skew to younger audiences, with 22 episodes. 

It’s not like they’re in competing timeslots. So they’re not really in competition for anything. This is a manufactured rivalry. 

This is like when they try to make rivalries between female celebrities where they are none. This is ridiculous and just about “you can’t like BOTH female-led things, you have to pick ONE, and then they’ll FIGHT EACH OTHER on the press circuit!” It’s gross and it needs to stop.

apparently “she kissed me back” is the only response halsey has to making out with a 15 yr old when she’s 21… as if that makes it ok.

and, moreover, shes done it before she knows its wrong lol:

also calling someone out in front of a huge crowd muddles the lines of consent…if you’re a celebrity that already creates a power imbalance and giving someone the choice between “consenting” and public humiliation just worsens that. the whole thing is gross and she seems to be completely missing the point of why.

Ben Carson is such a great example of how the concept of raw intelligence doesn’t exist, and that people can have wildly varying types of intelligence. This man is the best brain surgeon in America. Possibly the world. He invented a new way to treat seizures. He separated conjoined twins in a surgery that everyone else said was impossible. And he thinks going to prison makes you gay. He thinks the pyramids were grain silos built by the biblical Joseph.

So maybe you suck at something because in one area you’re Ben Carson The Politician but in another area you might be Ben Carson The Neurosurgeon.
