Is this for real? You mean these are NOT actually jokes? This is crazy talk. I mean almost comical.

It's 30% finished atm, so don't expect too much from it :p."

I bloody love it Simon, Bravo!
I can see why its taking you so long, such small detailing. I applaud thee.

Unfortunately this is the problem Hollywood has. This is why so many people are calling to boycott the Oscars this year - not so much because there were no black actors nominated, but more because there are so few roles created for Black people, Asians, Hispanics and several others.
Your post is a perfect example of this and I totally agree with what you say.

Catrice is also right about ageism, this is particularly true for woman - why must older guys in movie always have a love interest that is at least 2 decades younger? WHY?!

Oh you little tease :P

No deadline was set, but be on your toes incase it is announced sooner rather than later :)

I wonder if Roosh V would change his mind if he was thrown into prison and they allowed rape to freely happen in there?

An Archive sounds good to me :)

Kikki. If you can't handle me at my Strider, then you sure as Helms Deep don't deserve my Aragorn wrote: "I've been working on it since like the day Emma made this topic is what makes it worse and now the entire thing is gone."

aaaww I feel for you :-(
Especially if your lost artwork was as creative as your username!
Epic.

Blimey O'Reilly, I'm glad i don't have to pick a winner out of these lot - so much talent!

It wasn't rude :-)
It was quite a fun suggestion though!

That would mean 100,000 autographs! :-o my arm hurts just thinking about that! If I signed my name that many times I would be sat in a padded cell, rocking back and forth, twitching and saying my name on repeat in a whisper to the doctors in white coats. :-)

Well done, its very good. A clever idea to have the word "feminism" written on each book in a different language.

Ty wrote: "To be honest, I think she got suckered into this and she's just too stubborn to walk out. I think a part of her keeping this up is also because of those who yell at her for it - Watson types don't react to bullying very well. I don't think she thinks this is going to change the world"

Do you really think Emma wants out? I mean if she wanted she could just stop or gradually detach herself from it by posting less and less about it?
Instead she has organised the worlds largest book club and attended one of the biggest speaking events (Davos) that happens every year. what about her upcoming Q&A with Gloria Steinem? or her Interview with Malala?

If I wanted out of something, I certainly wouldn't be organising endless events like those mentioned above.

I think Rey is a fantastic addition to the Star Wars franchise. She is strong & independent and its nice to have a main female character who doesn't need to be rescued by a man!

From what I have witnessed the addition of Rey has pushed the franchise further to now appeal equally to girls and boys. Sure a lot of girls already liked it before, but many ladies of my age who I have spoken to have never been interested in watching Star wars because they think it's a "boys film". But now, I see girls of all ages coming out of the cinema having watched star wars and really enjoying it - perhaps mainly because there is a character that they can look up to and call a role model as Luke and Han did for young boys 30+ years ago and beyond.

The only faux pas was the awful merchandise where the figure of Rey was not included either as a stand alone toy or in any of the sets, huge mistake there! I thought that whole fiasco was pretty outrageous and i'm very glad that people viewed their opinions on social media - forcing the toy manufacturers to realise their huge error and correct it.

In short - yeah Rey is pretty cool ;)
