- kita0610: Commentary on commentary - In the current round of conversation regarding cultural appropriation, I can't count how many times I have read comments which say essentially "I don't agree/this isn't my view of the world." -
- miriam_heddy: Not like the Other - The idea of "inclusivity" is often simply another erasure. It says, "I will hold this umbrella out over you, but you have to hunch over, walk at my pace, keep to my side, and go where I'm going, because it's my umbrella." -
- trobadora: of course everyone is just like me [poll] - Just curious: When you write original characters and you don't have a reason to specifically make them gay or straight, what happens? -
- marydell: Poll: Definitions of "Racist" and "Racism" - A Racist Is A Person Who... [POLL] -
