Zipthesilver, how many Take Back the Night marches have you been on? What are you basing this "most victims recover in under a decade" statement on? Because in my considerable experience, this is very much not the case. If I'm mistaken and there is a reputable source available confirming your claim, please point me in that direction.

According to RAINN and the Justice Department, 68% of rapes go unreported, 98% of rapists will never spend a day in jail or prison, and there are 293,000 victims of rape annually. Meaning, 199,240 rapes go unreported, of the 93,760 rapes that are reported, just over 91,884 are never convicted, and less than 1,900 rapists are put behind bars. But yes, obviously false accusations are the bigger problem here.

I'm so sorry you went through that, guest. As a fellow victim/survivor/whatever the fuck you want to call it, I want you to know that I hear you. Seeing this shit get twisted into something that makes it even more terrifying to report a rape is awful. They don't understand the shame, the blame, and the hopelessness that we've gone through. My rapist got off with a slap on the wrist because, "he just made a mistake, it wouldn't be fair to ruin his entire life over that", despite the fact that he confessed. You're right, this is bullshit plain and simple. Stay strong, love.

Bishops castle is absolutely amazing, and is funded completely by the donations of visitors. The best news is that Bishop hates "the establishment" so there are no safety measures in place and you can literally climb all over that thing and no one cares. I climbed out a window towards the top and got an awesome picture of me as a gargoyle. Because I am an adult and endangering my life in pursuit of an amusing photo is my right as a 'merican.

Or just your episodic memory taking over for a brief period, this is why so many minor car accidents happen close to home. Your brain says "We've done this so many times before I'm gonna stop observing this familiar environment and let your memory fill in the gaps." If you are severely sleep deprived you may also be experiencing moments of micro-sleep. Your brain literally falls asleep for short periods of time and you have no memory of it happening.

It's cool, guys, Fox News taught me that if someone is disagreeing with me by using facts and logic I just need to speak louder and integrate words like "communist" and "nazi" to better get my point across.

Not necessarily, a married person can be raped by their spouse (male or female). Marriage doesn't equal perpetual sexual consent.

If they're not obligated to race match then how is it "objectively dumb to have a black person play a white character"? I am thoroughly confused. First you're saying "my statement only states specifically that black people playing white people is dumb, though the opposite is also dumb" but you finish with "By what logic should directors be obligated to race match". By your logic directors should race match. Either that, or your saying a director should race match only if a character has to be black.

This matters because there are talented Asian American, Middle Eastern, and Egyptian actors that may very well have done just as good a job as their white counterparts that we'll never get to know about. And any plot that hinges on the race of a character (Aloha made it known the female lead was half asian, the prince of Persia was from persia and had a Persian father, brothers, and uncle, and Moses has to be a Hebrew from Egypt for the story to have any meaning) should be played by an actor of that race. Dressing a white person up to look like a person of that race is seriously no different from when white actors used to put on 'black face'.

Okie-dokie, point by point
-More than are currently available (fucking hell, did you want an exact number?)
-Emma Stone playing a half Asian woman, Jake Gyllenhaal playing the prince of fucking persia, Christian Bale playing Moses, I could too easily go on
-By your logic on this point, you already agree that all the above examples are 'objectively dumb', and I return your previous question with a small alteration. Which roles "should" be played by whites?
-The Academy is meant to represent movie goers, not the population of the industry. The % of white people in America is 63.4, the % of white people in the Academy is 94, hence, disproportionate.

Seriously? Your argument against giving this issue the consideration it deserves is maybe some white person might not get recognized? I honestly can't figure out which part of this argument is the most flawed, the part where you don't think a person of color could be good enough to genuinely deserve an award, the part where you assume all black people are so petty they'll complain about anything, or the part where you believe the presence of any minority is just "token".

It's discussions like this that are making progress difficult. Burying your head in the sand and insisting an ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE are crying wolf is no way to live life. I'm not saying that you should feel guilty, none of this is about blame, no one is at fault. The problem is multi-pronged and complex, with not enough prestigious parts for minorities, whitewashing roles that should have been played by a PoC, people freaking out over a PoC playing a traditionally white character, and a disproportionate amount of the Academy being white, it is undeniable that there is a problem. If those issues didn't exist, there is no way 2 Oscars in a row would have been all white. No one is doing this maliciously, this is no one's fault, but it IS a problem, and one that simple recognition would go a long way towards helping.
