Canada. Changed a couple of words in the anthem and it's a huge loving national crisis and nothing else in the universe matters anymore.

I read they made it gender neutral? Of course fuckwits are losing their minds.

I remember when we quietly got rid of the 'no darkies' verse of the Australian national anthem and all the racists complained so much the government had to actually say, "Look you can still sing it yourself, we just won't be doing it officially."

"No darkies" verse? The three verses we don't use are all basically saying "we're really still British though" but they don't mention any other people or countries. And they were never part of the anthem anyway, it's never officially been the entire song - just the two verses we still currently use.

Pretty much half the drat thing was sucking off the Brits back when Australia was just a British colony and not its own nation.

But saying, "We'll only accept you if you're English, Scottish or Irish" is sending out a pretty clear message, especially given everything else our country was doing.

We used to sing the first and second verse at my school. That kind of fell out of favour in the Howard era. "For those who come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share" doesn't really gel with "STOP THE BOATS"

It's really more pro-British than racist though. It's not like it's welcoming immigrants from France or Norway or something. It's just more of the "we're really still British and the British are the best" stuff. And I'm not really sure what was going on at the time that relates? The White Australia policy ended in the '60s and the Racial Discrimination Act came in in the '70s, and Advance Australia Fair became the national anthem in the '80s. I was a child in the '80s so I might be missing something obvious on account of being too young or something, but I really don't know what you're referring to.

"Being kinky" in the story means "the man tries to control every aspect of the woman's life and frequently ignores her clearly-stated boundaries. Also he's only into kink because of his incredibly traumatic childhood."

50 Shades being trash has the unfortunate side effect of horribly misrepresenting the BDSM community, which can lead to actual physical or psychological harm being done to people.

Yeah, the big problem people have had with Twilight and 50 Shades existing isn't that they're terrible as much as that they're really popular and focus a lot on trying to normalize abusive behaviors like stalking and rape as either romantic gestures of love or mild problems that you just need to help your partner overcome because of how much you love him.

That is part of the reason for the Twilight/50 Shades hate, but really a huge part of the criticism is "the books are trash and the women and girls who like them are also trash."



The problem is that it can sometimes be very hard to separate out the anti-abuse criticism (which I wholeheartedly support) from the misogynist/elitist criticism (to which I very much object).

Fun prank I played on my friend. The day one of the Twilight movies premiered I posted an ad on craigslist stating "FREE Two Twilight tickets. Something came up and I cant make it. I want to make sure they go to a true fan. call me at (Best friends phone number)." He was teaching a class and got 20 calls in a 5 minute time frame. Suck it, Scott!
