Rose McGowan has now told The Hollywood Reporter that the lack of context around the image is what makes it troubling for her.


Yes. There's no explanatory tag line highlighting the fact that violence against women is only OK if they're blue and you're a mutant demon.

Seriously? Unbelievable shit.

What "context" was she imagining? Trigger warning, do no emulate, no fictitious blue mutants were harmed in the making of this poster?

The Smurf Army are up in arms, as there are plenty of Smurfs around so no one needs to blue up for a part in any film.

Everyone likes me and thinks I’m great in my safe space.
In my safe space.

People don’t judge me and haters don’t hate in my safe space.
In my safe space.

Bully proof windows, troll safe doors, nothing but kindness in here.
In my safe space.

You might call me a pussy, but I won’t hear you in my safe space.
In my safe space.

Bully proof windows, troll safe doors, nothing but kindness in here.
In my safe space.

If you do not like me, you are not allowed in my safe space.
In my safe space.

Look and you will see there is a very select crowd in my safe space.
In my safe space.

People that support me, mixed in with more people that support me, and say nice things!
In my safe space.

Rainbows all around me. There is no shame in my safe space.
In my safe space.

Bully proof windows, troll safe doors, nothing but kindness in here.
In my safe space.


Dance! Dance!

Some over the wall has-been needed some attention, oh let's join the social justice bandwagon over something trivial and grab an easy news headline.

If feminists want respect and equal standing this is not the way to do it. It simply creates more anti-feminism and puts their cause back years

Nah, being able to suck a golf ball through twenty feet of 3/4" hosepipe is a good start though.

I seem to recall mistique kicking the living shit out of a midget who posessed no special powers at all in one of the last x-men films.

EDIT: Also, can't believe I'm the only one to think of this.

What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing, you've already told her twice.
