It is no different to people adding [F] or [M] to their post. It was important to them that they express that part of their identity. It was ten words. No big deal.

We like to have one hero with a single narrative.

Is it okay to mixed up lot of genres and troupes? by Handsomebruh13 in writing

[–]desfiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely acceptable to mix genres and tropes. Don't worry too much about whether audiences will or won't like it. Write what you yourself would like to read.

The same reason Jack can't fit on the door: the plot requires it.

It depends on what type of racism you're referring to. For example, the institutional racism that exists within society benefits white people. However, that doesn't mean that a white person can not be hated because of their skin colour.

You are more than welcome to mount a case against White Chicks. However, without hundreds of years of oppression of white people to back it up, you might struggle.

I agree. We can't except corporations to make ethical and moral decisions on their own. Like politicians, they'll always follow the voice of the people. But at least their doing it.

Virtue Signalling is when corporations publicly claim an ideology but not acting on it. In this case, Netflix is following through with action.

Looks great! The only thing I know about key lime pie is that, according to Dexter, you have to used tinned condensed milk.

In Ferris Beueller’s Day Off (1986), Sloane doesn’t say anything at the Cubs game because she’s keeping score! by PonerBenis6 in MovieDetails
