Amentep

I didn't know she had a tie with an emag; my understanding was that she'd expanded a media studies paper into a kickstarter to create videos for a youtube channel and that kickstarter caused controversy since she initially abandoned what was promised to do other things. That said, I wouldn't know about her at all if it wasn't for people who hater her magnifying her reach by retweeting that they hate her.

Thing is Sarkeesian shouldn't have even been on the radar of what GamersGate claimed to be about (she wasn't a game journalist, but an academic researcher). The fact that they kept bringing her up demonstrated that what they claimed to be about had nothing to do with what they actually felt aggrieved over. And honestly most of the attention Sarkeesian gets is from the people who don't like her magnifying what she's said.

The main character is a boy who fell into a cursed hot spring while training with his dad. He is cursed by the cursed hot spring of a drowned girl so when he is touched by hot water he becomes a girl, and cold water a boy. Similarly his dad is cursed to be a panda (and who, to get out of trouble, pretends to be a literal panda) and a large number of the cast for a variety of reasons end up at the same training springs and cursed by various drowned entities. Also everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, can be boiled down to a vaguely martial arts-like competition. Ice skating, dance competitions, chess, whatever. Add in that the main character cannot turn down a challenge and will always end up in the wrong body for what he's trying to accomplish and comedy ensues.

Jessica Rabbit. She took her husband's last name. He was Roger Rabbit. Re: Pepe Lepew - never liked the character much, so won't miss him. Supposedly they'd filmed a scene (where he gets comeuppance, of a sort) but with the production juggling and changing directors it isn't going to be in the finished film.

I never really got her being out of uniform or being treated as a quasi-civilian, to be honest. TOS had already established Psychiatry as part of Life Sciences in "Where No Man Has Gone Before".

This is the official statement from Seuss Estate - https://www.seussville.com/statement-from-dr-seuss-enterprises/ No studies or events are cited at all. No particular conclusion is made, however these titles have been controversial for years.

The problem with your argument is the Seuss estate does not cite the 2019 study, nor did they commission it. As near as I can tell, it is an independent study published in the journal Research on Diversity in Youth Literature and was only added to the CNN article for context by the reporter. The study in question was committed to answering the question of whether Seuss' oveure was anti-racist as had been claimed by others in the youth literature field (particularly within context of The Sneetches and Horton Hears a Who specifically and without a broader context for the works). In that sense, the statement that Seuss didn't address non-whites in his human characters makes contextual sense (whether you agree with the conclusion or not). The important thing, again, is that the Seuss estate does not cite that 2019 study as their rationale for their decision to pull the 6 books (nor, for that matter, was the library reading program saying they wouldn't count Seuss books towards their reading event cited).

Your argument is apparently that once a creator creates something they (or their agents) cannot voluntarily withdraw the creation from the marketplace of ideas (or at the very least, cannot voluntarily withdraw if you deem the study they commissioned that led to the decision to withdraw flawed and there exists statistically invalid polls that fell on the side of non-withdrawal).

We ask that the users of this board treat one another with respect, even when opinions differ. Please remember this.

TNG Cause and Effect Fun Time Loop story (think Groundhog Day before that movie came out.) Weird to see Kelsey Grammar in such a bit part, and the episode doesn't seem to have an end so much as just stops.

It's Seuss' estate pulling them from sale, so opinion polls are irrelevant. Opinion polls of self selecting populations are also statistically invalid anyhow (assuming I'm reading you correctly that the poll was conducted of those watching the show).

I remember reading a lot of the Golden Books (like The Little Red Hen) as a really young tyke. Dinosaur books and Richard Scarry and Dr. Seuss followed. When I got a little older I read The Three Investigators (aka Alfred Hitch**** and the Three Investigators) and somewhere in there was Dahlov Ipcar's The Warlock of Night and a bunch of other books I barely remember at this point. I remember reading The Hobbit when I was ten or so because both my older brothers had. Somewhere around 12 or 13 I tried to read Dune and The Lord of the Rings and had begun reading Doc Savage, the Avenger, the Shadow, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard/L Sprague De Camp's Conan and Piers Anthony's Xanth books. Maybe that was when I tried to read my brother's Thomas Covenant books too. And picked up Robert Vardeman's Centopah Road which I followed for awhile. Oh and two of the Shannara Books were somewhere in my early teens. But I read a lot of comic books. 60s Doom Patrols, Challengers of the Unknown, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, etc, 60s and 70s horror titles like House of Mystery, Eerie, House of Secrets, Red Circle Sorcery, or Creepy; Weird Western Tales (Jonah Hex and Scalphunter), GI Combat (Haunted Tank), Weird War Tales (Creature Commandoes), Out Army at War (Unknown Soldier), Archie, Harvey, etc. My uncles donated their comics to us and so there wasn't a time that I remember that there weren't comics to read or re-read growing up. EDIT: OOOOH how could I forget Terran Trade Authority #3 Spacewreck: Ghostships and Derelicts of Space!!!! I checked that out of the library dozens of times!

Its the Daily Mail, so I give a tentative...yes. Although it might also just be the tabloid equivalent of click bait.

Yeah, I got a chuckle over the headline disconnect as well.

So because a report isn't in good faith, it changes whether racial caricatures are racist or not? The article I read not only described some of them, but I found it fairly easy to find images from most of the books online by just looking for the name of the book and "offensive images". YMMV. But the story continues... Outrage as eBay REMOVES listings for canceled Dr Seuss books 'because they glorify violence' but allows copies of Mein Kampf and Louis Farrakhan's books to be sold Yeah, yeah, daily mail, blah, blah.

It's his estate that pulling the books from being reprinted again. So...

It felt like I was watching it real-time then.

I think the sunset was posted in realtime.

They aren't but it would get them something 'new' to market and sell if they hired a new creator to rework the works.
