I agree that the comment you replied to sucks, but I just want to chime in that the term most definitely does not easily communicate that. I had no clue why the author was choosing to misspell misogyny. Of course I was also able to read the article just fine without understanding why they were using that spelling/word.

>she's clearly upset about Donald Glover's dating choices

I feel like you're interpreting a whole lot from one line here.

It seems relevant, in an article questioning his view of black women, to note that he doesn't date black women.

I also can't help but notice that rather than simply disagree with her on the relevance, you're accusing her of being overly emotional about it ("she's clearly upset"), which is a common way that women are silenced.

You are free to disagree with her, but you should not try to discredit her by attributing emotion to her and then attacking her on that ground. Your take largely boils down to a more polite way of saying "look at this women, she's acting hysterical!"

I literally said The Simpsons is more iconic than Spongebob. Also I'm not trying to downplay The Flintstones impact, I'm just saying that I think Spongebob is more recognizable nowadays than The Flintstones. This is also not taking into account overseas since I'm not sure how popular Flintstones is overseas, but Spongebob is a phenomena worldwide.

Harley Quinn's been a spot of alright, but yeah

feels like after Justice League Unlimited ended, they mostly focused on programming for younger kids, and standalone DVD releases for the older audiences. Some of them have been decent, but others not so much and nothing really great for those craving a longer series.

"The Batman" started out pretty rough, but did improve a bit and have some decent episodes later on

I’m not saying Lost is the primary influence on the content of GoT, I’m saying Lost proved that it was feasible to make a big budget genre show on TV. Yes, Rome existed, but it also got cancelled for being way too expensive. Lost actually ran for multiple seasons and kept a pretty huge following. That’s the difference. LOTR isn’t a TV show so not sure what to say there

Yeah the BBC has a mandate that includes some sort of motoring show. It doesn't need to use the Top Gear brand and I think most people have moved on from that format. Have a proper motoring tv series with historical pieces, consumer reviews of cars and bikes, and motor sports coverage. If people want dated comedy they can watch TGT.

>Glover is a free man in a socially free society. He can date whoever he wants to.

It's such a strange argument anyway. If Glover had dated 1,000 women, all of whom are not black, then it's reasonably to say that Glover isn't attracted to black women (which is still different from: Glover doesn't like black women.)

But if Glover has only dated a few women and has dated the same woman for the last 8 years, then his dating choices tell us nothing other than that he likes his current partner (and mother of his children).
