Good gried, of course I'd save Sarkeesian. Real people take precedence.

...I feel really stupid. I didn't understand the article at all.

The first Jim Carrey movie I saw as a wee lad was the second Ace Ventura. It fricking traumatized me, mostly because of the raccoon. When we sat down to watch it my friend told me "don't worry, the raccoon survives." Then...it didn't. Hey, don't look at me like that. I was 8 or 9 at the time.

MASSIVE season 2 spoilers ahoy! I loved Avatar The Last Airbender. Though that show had some eye-brow raising moments, on the whole it was awesome. So I was really looking forward to the Legend of Korra. Well, the first season didn't blow me away like Avatar did, but on the whole I liked it...
