"Moral Panics"
—
First, a group or behavior is classified as dangerously deviant. The deviance is characterized as both a serious threat to societal welfare and as a symptom of deep social ills. The media whips up public concern on the subject by focusing rapidly increasing amounts of attention on it, often in an alarmist fashion that exaggerates the extent of – and the danger presented by – the behavior and those who engage in it. This in turn leads decision makers to act, usually with the stated goal of completely eliminating, or at least greatly reducing, the deviants and/or their behavior. Whether or not the action is successful, the panic eventually recedes as public attention moves on to other threats, real or imagined. ~Paul Campos (via fucknohealthism)

Gaix?
OK, I’m drunk and tired and I should just go to bed.

DON’T EVEN JOKE ABOUT IT DENISELLE.
:D :D :D :D
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I’m very drunk..
(Which might in fact be what Baltar is thinking in that gif…)

You mean like Brangelina? Gotta agree, it gets old very fast.
exactly like Brangelina, and Bennifer when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were a thing.
Bennifer is even worse.
Like, Brangelina is sort of cute and could maybe even be a fantasy name.
But then you have constructions like, I dunno, fandom things.
Now that I said that, I can’t think of any offhand. I just remember being confused and annoyed by them.
If Gaius and Six had a portmanteau name, what would it be?
