Anonymous asked: Is it pathetic to dedicate your life to debating about whether things are racist? Do something productive with your life instead of focusing on criticizing others
You’re not great at thinking before you write stuff.

Anonymous asked: Don't you think constantly reminding people of racism and keeping people constantly thinking about it, reprimanding themselves, fixing it nonstop, always on their mind, is much more destructive then just all being equal and making fun of each other as we all do? I understand racist jokes, but some times I think people take it to far and see any sort of picking on as racism as long as the victim is of any different colour, Isn't that in itself, racism? Why can't we just be equal and not care?
Yo, I know you think you just blew my mind with your innovative “hey, did all those victims of racism just try being equal?” approach, but...

This past week, many Demon’s Souls fans were irate when they heard a candid interview with Sony’s product development head Shuhei Yoshida in which his initial impression of the game was, “This is crap.”
Now, while that statement was really about the difference between Japan’s parallel areas of product development and the United States’ linear product development cycles, as well as the differing expectations about demos and development progress, many fans of the Atlus-published game mocked the developer for what he took away from his 2-hour experience. The largest of these complaints was that he was somehow not “hardcore” enough and that his lack of talent was the reason he disliked the game.
I own a copy of Demon’s Souls. I actually enjoyed my time with the game. But, admittedly, I have played only a few hours of it during the entire time that I have owned it. While I would never say that the game is “crap” (and I doubt I have even heard someone say anything of the sort), I can see why many people, often apologetically, have never gotten far into it. (Hint: it has nothing to do with being hardcore or not.)

wtf?
You don’t know nothing bout no turbo teen, son. Welcome to the 80’s.
Hollywood went silent and, when they did speak, they teetered on the brink of defending Chris Brown.
Carrie Underwood: “I don’t think anybody actually knows what happened. I have no advice.”
Lindsay Lohan: “I have no comment on that. That’s not my relationship. I think they’re both great people.”
Nia Long: “I know both of them well. They’re young, and all we can do is pray for them at this point.”
Mary J. Blige: “They’re both young and beautiful people, and that’s it.”
Jay-Z, one of Rihanna’s mentors, spoke up: “You have to have compassion for others. Just imagine it being your sister or mom and then think about how we should talk about that. I just think we should all support her.”
In a sane world, Jay-Z’s statement would sound insane. Why would he have to remind his fans to support Rihanna after what happened is that she got hit in the face?

No idea who to give credit to for the image, but it’s a character from the L Word apparently.
““Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.”—
Maybe it’s just me, but Friendzone isn’t really…
The world of male privilege and demanded access to women just by being “good enough.” It is a world where people who say they should date you never date you and are considered the villains for having better options.
