Science Fiction titles from Banned Books Week Spotlight List: The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood

  • In 2009 a parent in Toronto accused the book of being anti-Christian and anti-Islamic because the women are veiled and polygamy is allowed

    I wonder if that parent ever actually found out what the plot of the book is...

  • I would like to know which half of the population you think is receiving the hatred and which half of the population is lobbing it.

  • This comment thread is a completely bad faith framing of the issue. Creating safe spaces for women in tech isn't discrimination. It's elevating a traditionally underrepresented demographic. Lemme guess, you guys talk a lot about divorce court right?

    • the FDA is considering a ban on menthol cigarette sales

  • I'm glad I live in a country with universal healthcare. Your point is made completely erroneous by the fact that everyone's taxes are paying for your cancer treatment. This "fuck you i'll do what i want" mentality is literally antisocial conservative garbage.

  • It aint racist my guy. The chemical processes involved in menthol cigarettes increase the carcinogenic properties of the cig.

    Yes, no shit cigs are bad. Menthol cigs are the worst offenders.

  • No you don't lmao the FDA is kind of the authority here. There's nothing on store shelves that you can choose or not choose to put in your body that wasn't already cleared by the FDA. You have an illusion of choice.

  • Weird. I didn't know Gundams had wheels.

    Fucking trash article. Every single outlet reporting on this is calling it a Gundam. Clearly we wouldn't know what a 15 foot tall robot is without someone comparing it to a 100ft bipedal machine with massive guns and lightsabers that looks totally different than what they're describing.
