The Real Life of Online Role-Playing
Roleplaying: it's one of those things that most people have heard of, but not truly thought about or tried. The first thing most people think of at the word "roleplaying" is kinky costumes in the bedroom, or video games like Final Fantasy XIV or Skyrim. For someone like me who is on their computer out of boredom, there is online roleplaying. This means messaging someone else, possibly in another country, and playing out scenarios with or without sexual content. More-often-than-not, it is a sexual, anonymous chat to play out fantasies or characters. There are so many different types, and different ways to do such things. It is honestly so much fun. I am considered to be addicted to the escape from my real life through essentially co-writing stories and fan-fictions that are beyond anything true to life, or the ones so realistic you feel like it's a second life. Role-plays can range from being a simple hookup scenario to a crazy fantasy land with dozens of characters living and dreaming to the extent that a few have made me cry—happily, or in empathy to my character's hardships.

25+ Innuendos in Harry Potter You Didn't Notice
It seems impossible that teenagers in a boarding school never thought of getting a little intimate sometimes. We never heard about anyone having sex in the Room of Requirement, using “engorgio” to make their wand bigger, or taking advantage of a love potion. They all married their first love, had kids after tying the knot, and lived happily ever after. It just looks like everyone dying and being tortured was fine for kids but spending some time between the sheets was too much.

Why the Graphic Depictions of Bullying in '13 Reasons Why' Are Necessary for Viewers
If you managed to make it through the Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why, then you're no doubt a little shaken up. After all, it's a show about a girl who leaves cassette tapes behind to tell those whom she feels are responsible for her suicide why she did it. The subject matter alone is a powerful thing, and many people who read the 2007 novel by Jay Asher wondered how Netflix would visually represent the story.

The History of Warren Publishing
Warren Publishing ran from 1957 to 1983, it was founded by James Warren in Philadelphia PA. He later moved his company to New York in 1965. Warren specialized in Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction magazines. Warren published other genre magazines focusing on different subject matter such as teen romance or adult humor. There were two things that set Warren apart from other comics. First they were sold in a larger format than regular comics thus classifying them as magazines. Second, Warren exempted his publications from the now defect Comic Code Authority. This allowed the writers and artist to inject more mature content into the stories. This included some coarse language, violence, sexual situations and nudity. These two factors helped Warren reach an adult audience.

Elle (2016) - Review
Dutch provocateur Paul Verhoeven has long been a film-maker I admire; I first saw Robocop (1987) at about 10 years old, having previously only seen family/children's fare, and it kick-started my true love affair with movies. It's outrageous violence and bitingly satirical humour, combined with a surprising humanism in dealing with Murphy's fate, made an unmistakable impression on me. 30 years after Robocop's release and I'm blown away by the maturity and evolution of Verhoeven's style in his latest film, the intoxicating Elle. The black humour is still there, but it's punchlines are now people and their behaviours, not society; the violence is still intense, but more considered and impactful, and a damn sight less gory. Stronger than ever though is the humanism; Verhoeven appears a man that believes in the importance of freewill, of agency, in our lives. You're only truly alive when you own all of your decisions and their consequences.

Top 10 Judge Dredd Stories
Set mostly after the Atomic Wars of 2070, the population of the USA is contained within three enormous mega cities, one on each coast – east, west and the Gulf of Mexico – and each home to about a billion citizens. The only thing that prevents civilization from descending into chaos and destroying itself is the savage arm of the law. Called the Judges, they are the police and they are the military. 2000AD also features many other characters in totally different scenarios, but its main star is one particular Judge, Joseph Dredd, who serves in the huge Mega-City One that covers the entire eastern seaboard.

Serpieri's 'Druuna'
In 1985, Italian comic book artist Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri made a splash with “Morbus Gravis”, a science fiction graphic novel and the first in what would be known as the “Druuna” series of erotic comics, named after its eponymous hero. Said series became a (notorious) example of well drawn European comic books, especially regarding its anatomy in the human characters, after which Serpieri was granted the unofficial title of “The Master of Ass” by his fans.

Cosplay Is Not Consent
The buzz and excitement of a Con is unrivaled by any other geek/nerd/otaku gathering in existence. The single release of even the most popular video game or comic book is only a fraction of the atmosphere of a convention. Before you even get to the convention however, you may notice people around you that are headed to the same event. How do you know that they’re fellow convention-goers? Cosplay of course. At the 2015 New York Comic Con, a large sign stating “Cosplay is NOT Consent” greeted some hundreds of thousands of visitors upon entering the Javits Convention Center. The slogan is a part of a recent movement to end sexual harassment and tasteless treatment of cosplayers (mostly female) that may or may not be sporting revealing costumes of their favorite characters. The harassment ranges from the creepy but somewhat harmless photos without permission, to the full blown stalking, and even sometimes, sexual assault.
