    Real Housewives of Atlanta is known for being outlandish, hilarious and has trotted the line between what’s shade, and what’s problematic. This past Sunday, amongst one of the early episodes of Season 10 of RHOA, Kenya Moore came under fire (yet again) for what came out of her big mouth. It all started at Nene Leake‘s … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/real-housewives-of-atlanta-star-is-real-transphobic/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read

    An issue that is not only prevalent in today’s society, but also in comic books is – and you guessed it – sexism. Now you may say, “Wait a minute, we have Wonder Woman! She’s the epitome of feminism!” And while I won’t disagree with the fact that Diana Prince is a legendary, badass female character, unfortunately, … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/give-us-less-male-comic-to-screen-adaptations-and-more-female-ones/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read

    *WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW* It’s no secret that Netflix’s One Day At A Time was easily one of the most progressive and important shows – especially sitcoms – that came out of 2017. Which is why I was super pumped to hear that it got renewed for season 2, earlier this year in March. The 13 episode Season 1 tackled … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/what-were-hoping-to-see-in-one-day-at-a-time-season-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read

    It seems as if every year more and more films get released, varying in different genres, length, and reception. As a moviegoer, I understand (and join in on) the hype over new films and trailers that come out but also find myself scratching my head at the thought of some movies that make it onto … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/stop-supporting-trash-movies-and-start-supporting-movies-that-deserve-it/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read

    Now I know most of us TV watchers have created preconceived notions about each and every television network and their reputations over the years, but none can top the infamously, deplorably, and repetitively disrespectful actions viewed on and off-screen as The CW. First, let’s start off with the fact that The CW absolutely butchers almost every one … <a href="https://culture.affinitymagazine.us/why-the-cw-is-the-worst-tv-network/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read
