Wonder if I should stop by her blog...



Who in the actual fuck cares.



Great, now they're branching the "crush" thing out.



Its people like you that make mental disorders difficult to take seriously. Die.



I suppose this is a good time to mention I hate uwu and everything else like it. It annoys the fuck outta me.



No one wants to talk to you, you attention whore.



Why is allistic a word?



Tumblr, KEEP GOING. Smoke them ALL out.



You are annoying.

You are beyond annoying. You are a sentient itch that refuses to be scratched. You're a spot of dry skin on the world's face.



...For fuck sakes...

since when was lara croft whitewashed? she's always been a british brunette with a tan (because you know, outdoors a lot). the confirmation bias is strong in these people.
@ guizonde: I think I like the way you think.

...Because the fact that Star trek was revolutionary back then (Roddenberry had to fight in order to have a black woman on the bridge of a space ship. And at least one female astronaut has said that Uhura was a big influence for her joining Nasa.) doesn't mean squat when you can judge it from today's perspective.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I'm not sure that's a criticism of Roddenberry? It's a joke. Jokes are not about nuanced criticism.

Also, pretty sure Rosenberg is a fan of Star Trek.

And let's not forget the fact that none other than Martin Luther King, Jr. convinced her to stay on the show.

No mention of gay Asian men?

(Although I am aware the character wasn't written as gay)

Tumblr bloggers are offended over a blank box.

We've been over this, they're not offended, they just find the idea that the cartoonist can only create cartoons that offend minorities to be stupid.

Well then give examples of people getting needlessly butthurt over cartoons. I mean, there's tons of political cartoons that are legitimatley offensive and deserve massive blowback (Micheal Ramirez, Bruce Tinsley, ect,)

The cartoon isn't about bigotry nor is it about being intentionally offensive. It's satirizing people like we see on Tumblr who are constantly offended by something.

I'll have two people smarter and wiser than me do the talking:

Quote
... I'm not sure they're wrong?

I mean, the cartoon makes the point that a lot of humour is transgressive in some way, and that's valid. But taken literally, it says that all humour must necessarily be transgressive, which is, y'know, not true. I'm not saying you should take it literally, because it's damn cartoon and all, but still.

And yeah, they frame it as the latest battle ground in the great struggle between marginalised groups and oppressors, but that's Tumblr for you.  That's the only way they know how to say something's bad.
Yeah, I agree with the Tumblr comments on this one. The cartoonist is whining that they basically can't make ANY jokes without mocking some kind of marginalized group. Charlie Hebdo isn't exactly biting satire; it's viciously anti-religious and advocates Islamophobia under the guise of "satire" and "free speech".

Well, clearly you, for starters.

Also, said minorities you speak off, assuming you can in fact speak for them.

Refusing sex for a month annoys your significant other, so PIV is forced.

Refusing to show up for a month to work gets you fired, so jobs are slavery.

Refusing to blog for a month on Tumblr annoys your followers, so Tumblr is an obligation.
