CBS: *casts Lucy Liu to play character originally written as a white dude*
Brinydeep Catfishbits fans: how DARE they!!! this is a travesty! a mockery of the source material! a fundamental betrayal of the spirit of canon and the essence of the character! Arthur Conan Doyle would be spinning in his GRAVE!!!
Paramount: *casts Bassethound Cul-de-sac to play character originally written as desi*
Bumpersticker Cardigan fans: jeez, calm down everyone, it's just ACTING. i'm sure they just picked the most talented actor for the role! Benny is so talented he could play any role, and the franchise should be grateful to have him!

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

I think people should have to get psychiatric, medical and government permission to be transphobic. Also, make sure your spouse, family and friends approve too. We wouldn’t to upset their lives by your selfish and rash decision to be transphobic would we? And before you get a diagnosis of transphobia, you need to go through the real life test where you have to live a year with...

I often tell people that I’m the biggest self-aware misogynist I know.
I was writing a scene last night between a woman general and the man she helped put on the throne. I started writing in some romantic tension, and realized how lazy that was. There are other kinds of tension.
I made a passing reference to sexual slavery, which I had to cut. I nearly had him use a gendered...

captain-smack-pigeon replied to your post: Tumblr or joined yahoo and they think they are going to delete nsfw stuff! Spread the word!
It’s because of this thing that Yahoo has where apparently you can’t post any NSFW content on any part of the site or it’s affiliates. By proxy, that means tumblr can’t have NSFW content either. How true this is can only be determined later.
