“ Some Nickelodeon executives were worried, says Konietzko, about backing an animated action show with a female lead character. Conventional TV wisdom has it that girls will watch shows about boys, but boys won’t watch shows about girls. During test screenings, though, boys said they didn’t care that Korra was a girl. They just said she was awesome.

Thank gawd for Korra, SBFF, MLP, and hopefully a growing list.  

Boo for every time this “data” has been brought up, and hurray for the day when I can go to a pitch without hearing this.

 Just make something good, give it some heart, and stop testing stuff till it’s just a bunch of mush.

racist Hunger Games "fans" are racist

Reading this will make you hate society even more, but this is basically a collection of tweets of people made about how upset they were that Rue was black in the movie. Yes. Howupsetthey were. About black characters in the Hunger Games.

Like I said. Reading this will make you angry.

Art’s great nudes have gone skinny

Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created a visual re-imagination of historic nude paintings, had the subjects conformed their bodies to what the 21st century considers an ideal of beauty. The results are revealing—and quite shocking in what they say about the modern attitude toward women’s bodies.

Hong Kong’s sidewalks are literally overflowing with shark fins

If you’re a fan of sharks — scratch that, if you’re a fan of the ocean, in general — prepare to have your day ruined. You’re looking at a video, shot by Oceanic Love’s Gary Stokes, that reveals how shark fins are laid out to dry by the thousands along the sidewalks of Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.

This is the aftermath of what Gordon Ramsay — who, as a cook, is accustomed to seeing animals slaughtered for food — once described as “without a doubt the worst act of animal cruelty [he’s] ever seen.” (Fair warning: the clip here, which is taken from Ramsay’s documentary on the practice of shark fin hunting, is not for the squeamish.)

These fins you see on the sidewalk will be used to make shark fin soup, a delicacy which — despite running upwards of 200 dollars per bowl — is becoming increasingly popular among China’s rapidly expanding upper middle class. And, as Gizmodo reported last September:

…that means many species of sharks, some of them already endangered, are being not just overfished, but mutilated for their fins while still alive. And then thrown back into the ocean to bleed to death. Lately it’s happening to 1.5 million sharks per week. Up to 70 million per year.

But these fishing practices aren’t just overwhelming and cruel, they’re also indiscriminate. Shark fin hunters are as likely to lop off the fins of an endangered scalloped hammerhead shark as they are any other species of shark that they bring on board. In fact, many of the animals pulled from the water aren’t even sharks to begin with; it’s not uncommon for fish or even sea turtles to get dragged aboard.

Read more about how shark fin soup is killing the ocean on Gizmodo.

 If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe. • Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs. • At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate. • If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.  • Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”

leaving-things-unsaid: SO TRUE. I mean, I’m online way more than sometimes…but it’s still depressing. So I’m taking this annoying 6-9 on thursday (and I’m telling you because I want you to stalk me) and it’s about content literacy, so we were legit just talking about this. The guy writing on the board spelled “professionalism” as “proffesionalism”. I mean, I corrected him cos I know him and he was sitting right in front of me but still. They all admitted that they can’t spell. Y U NO SPELL RIGHT!?

dorkvader: roadmusic: loversoutoftime: rubanrose-: iamdeath:-ridd1kulus:abcdefgabby:ellaquent:rouge-noir:br0seph:constantflux:early-onset-of-night: Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it. Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this. There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color. But, hey, at least it tastes good, right? High five, America! *smack* Can I go throw up now. and this is why I rarely eat fast food anymore. Or try not to. It doesn’t matter what sort of person you are, you have to be aware of this. People have the choice not to eat this and they do anyway and feed it to their kids which pisses me off. Another reason why I prefer other countries because the availability of fresh markets i thought it was ice cream.
