This whole bankruptcy thing was a money making scam by the suits who bought out the company back in the 2000s and ran it into the ground.
Not only is the toy store brand not dead, but 30,000 people are now angry as this scheme blocked them out of severance pay and they are now unemployed and unable to return to work when they start up again.
Many toy companies including Hasbro are raising eyebrows at this, as the initial bankruptcy cost them millions of dollars in sales revenue and their stocks took a nasty hit (Mattel being the worst off from it, as Toys R Us closing compounded with steadily falling sales of their products). Advocates are calling this a “bad PR stunt” since the suits want the company to make sales for the holidays.
Hopefully, this will cause enough of a stink to kill it off for good. I’d rather say goodbye Geoffrey as I knew him than have him come back as a reanimated corpse controlled by greedy hucksters who put thousands of people out of work for no other reason than to line thier own pockets and escape the consequences of their own failings.
This one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen done by any company in years
Seriously. Share this. Impact sales. I wanna see Toy’s R Us driven in the ground for this shit-fucking hard. No mercy, just good old fashioned, cutthroat capitalism where the market says “FUCK YOU” in bright neon letters…just like the greedy fucks who orchestrated this whole thing like-except they won’t like it when the “FUCK YOU” sign is for them.
The very worst part of all this?
No repercussions. NO ONE is getting in trouble for any of this shit.
Not a single worker getting severance any time soon either, with the way things are going. Which is complete shit, because I know a few people who were seriously affected by losing their full-time positions with this shit fucking company.
i don’t know who decided that happy endings were boring but i wanna fight them. happy endings make all the bad shit that characters go through worth it, there’s nothing boring about that.
Look at the name, darlings, and realize that suffering does not begat ruin. Happy endings are not a lie told to us to make us complacent, but a whispered secret that we know to be true.
There you go again making everything all poetic and well worded and awesome n stuff. Flaunting your amazingness.

Stan Lee, the comic book writer and co-creator of nearly every legendary Marvel character, has died, multiple media outlets reported Monday. He was 95.
Lee was rushed to the hospital from his home in Los Angeles early in the morning, Variety reported. His cause of death was not released and his representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During his eight-decade career, Lee was a pioneer of geek fandom, co-creating a long list of beloved comic book characters in the Marvel Universe, including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Thor, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man.
exactly, thor attracts hopeless lesbians who desperately want advice from this Smooth Motherfucker and t’challa attracts smooth lesbians who like, see this trash pile and are like “he’s the worst we need to help him”
Donate if you can, and even if you can’t, spend some time this November educating yourself about the history of the very-much-still-alive tribe that sat down with the pilgrims, the continued history of colonization in America, and about the tribe/s whose land you are occupying.
I was waiting for the night bus at 1am the other night, eating fries, when a dude, high as fuck, tried to harass me. It took several “I don’t want to talk to you, please go away” for him to finally move, but I think it helped that another man was giving him the death stare and clicking his tongue at him. He then checked I was okay and whether I knew the guy or not. Good dude.
Shout out also the man who silently switched places with me on another night bus to be a buffer between me and a guy who had threatened me. Thank you
Men: this here? This here is what you need to be doing as allies. The men who harass and insult women are not likely to take our complaints about it seriously. But you, another man, they will listen to.
I was pumping gas at like 10 PM one night, and these bunch of drunk guys came walking up to the gas station, and one of them yelled over to me if I wanted to see his dick. His friend says to him, “You don’t have anything she wants to see.” and apologized. It was pretty awesome.
this is all we want from men. to recognize the wrongs done by other men, and acknowledge it. not give us shitass defense like, “not all men do that”
