BTS List - That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.
-- pricklyelf, on why Lex goes bad
LJ - Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"
-- Teague, reviewing "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones"

-- revelininsanity, on my relationship with my rabbit

From:I would also gently point out that you're making a number of assumptions. As
Our intent was not, at any point, to belittle or degrade those living in difficult circumstances. Some of the people in those threads are those people. Some of them used to be. Some of us have or currently do work in the Northern communities we're talking about.
What we're saying is that this meme hits us that way. Because the places that meme writes about are the places where our society has fucking failed people, where people are forced to live in awful circumstances they did not deserve or create, but were created for them by natural disasters or by racism and bureacratic indifference to straight up bureaucratic malice, and thus having those places be space for thoughtless happy funtimes porn between well-off white guys is kind of upsetting.
The people currently living in the real "Canadian shacks" were moved because of a flood and then left there to die of malicious neglect, and now our government is blaming them. So the meme is kind of a spit in the face for those of us for whom that's a major context.
Again, I genuinely apologize for using examples that apparently hit painful buttons for you, but I was not trying to belittle those people or degrade them. I was trying to draw a comparison I thought an American would understand, because Americans don't tend to know anything about Canada, especially northern Canada, so just mentioning the social issues tends to go woosh.
