    James Bond cannot be genderbent

    I'm talking about the people who co-opt media for their own purposes, not the audiences. If you want to create something that sends a political message, I'm all for it. If you want to take something of someone else's and change it to suit your own political narrative and by association try to...

    James Bond cannot be genderbent

    Notch is a degenerate

    Clearly the OP has a keen business sense and must be earning millions if not billions. Otherwise why would he make such a statement if he couldn't back it up by a fat stack of cash and multiple 'projects' on the go. What a decent fellow he must be. Certainly not a degenerate like that buffoon...
