Anonymous asked: Did you see the comments on the Apu (Simpsons) thread? That was a dumpster fire of racism. I was surprised that Kaiser didn't handle that story, but it might have hit close to home for her. I can respect that, actually. Also, I've noticed after a lot of us have been banned or had comments deleted for being critical of popoholic, the site has quietly stopped linking to them. So that's a good thing!
I am glad to hear that at least something good came out of it. I checked the popoholic site once because somebody asked me about it, and I never went back.
I remember a similar thing with the “knocked up” expression Kaiser used to love. I took an exception to it because I think this expression is disrespectful of women. It sounds like getting pregnant is not something a woman chooses to do, but she just gets pregnant because she doesn’t know where babies come from.
I was put into moderation for saying it. But I kept saying it. Finally, a few months later one of the regulars made the same point and finally it got through to Kaiser and she stopped saying “knocked up”.
