    Fair enough. Edit: And I'm sure Bella would disagree with me if she read this, but it's how I feel. There are some people with whom I am not content in their views, but I don't think they're misogynists. I've met real ones. Like, someone who has spent the past five years arguing that women are nothing but toys for his one night stands and that all women will bear the brunt of his disrespect until he reaches closure the girlfriend that dumped him. He explicitly states this. That's misogyny.

    "I don't think that it's a problem that game developers under represent women as protagonists" isn't an active goal. It's passive. It's a dangerous apathy with which I strongly disagree, but I don't think it's misogyny. Just... incorrect.

    By the way, you aren't on Skype. I have director's commentary on this conversation, but you need Skype to hear it.

    Side note: I'm pretty sure Finn Hudson isn't going to end up with Rachel Berry or Quinn Febray. He's going to propose to the auto-tuner. If he had any loyalty, they'd be married tomorrow.

    Wait, then am I a llama or what?

    I need to add the back issues to my already copious issues.

    4th Era Marcian always got annoyed by people that cared to get gender correct. 5th Era llama confirms that Kali is female, only because she would do so herself.

    'Cuz she's not. Some are. She isn't.

    And I don't think that everyone's a misogynist. Some people insensitive? Ignorant? Mistaken? A hat trick of yes! But, by my count, misogyny takes an active intent. A looking at a person that identifies as female and feeling an invocation of negative feelings. And most people here don't do that. Not by a long shot.

    Realms of reasonableness, dear hearts. The first step of the last step of a debate is errant summation and assumption.

    *Sigh. No extended or deleted scenes. Nevermind that entire arcs were in the mid-season trailers that didn't appear in the episode. Nevermind that certain scenes were clearly cut for time.

    And what of the commentary? You don't write the Kurt-Finn relationship and not have behind the scenes on what went into writing it!

    And bonus: 90% of these special features are actually promo pieces that have been on Hulu for months. They aren't exclusive; they're archival.

    Not even going to bother to save up for it. This version is to the inevitable collector's edition what New Directions is to Vocal Adrenaline.

    I'm not inflexible, except when people are wrong.

    Definitely a post for those that have been keeping up with the forums. I adore you dearly right now.

    Welcome to the madness. The way the rules of been rewritten, this is more the off-topic section than ever. I confirmed this with TheOcho. As long as it isn't explicitly banned, it's allowed now.

    Hard to say. It's a hose now.

    This movie absolved her for me.

    I smirk knowing she'd say the same about you. Almost word. for. word.

    You say it's a pipe. She says it's a brush. It's clearly an elephant.
  22. Meh, not a big deal to me. Just a vague note. I'll focus on loving the pictures as they are. I will now proceed to look for a very specific character...
