I love hating things I haven't read, but what really puts the lead in my pencil is hating things that barely exist yet.

Not as much as they've spent on demonizing Google and Facebook employees for taking shuttle buses to work.

It was never a fair fight between fundamentalist Christianity and D&D. One was a dangerous system full of dark mysticism and threats to warp a young mind beyond repair, and the other was a tabletop RPG.

"Sometimes things are bad, and this happens repeatedly, so no one should complain ever."

This entire argument seems to teeter on disingenuously misinterpeting what people mean when they use the word clickbait. Clickbait and alluring headlines are not one and the same.

Oh shit! The Gawker family is getting sensitive about called out on their bullshit!

I believe this article assumes, wrongly, that the Gawker media properties (Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, et al) participate in journalism.

Sensationalized headlines used to make not-so-life-or-death stories sound like its LITERALLY LIFE OR DEATH is lame click baity garbage used to drive eyes to stories that don't deserve it.

Yeah, actually, I make decisions every day on who I will interact with. When I have a choice — and Beyonce and Lady GaGa largely DO have a choice — I choose not to associate with known rapists.

I'm going to go on my day pretending that you aren't really that stupid to think that someone who shows up at work for a public institution one day as a female wouldn't find it relevant to tell them her old name. By the way, she found it very relevant and made it very clear.

I get what you are saying, but it is literally a requirement that you publicly announce name changes so that people know that there is a continuation in person hood. It doesn't seem untoward, in the absence of specific threats not to reveal the old name, especially if the new name (and face) are shown.

Because the vast majority of CEO's are white men...

I'm ever so glad you think so, I'm sure you'll get some stars to make you feel better bro!

I can't even be bothered by this in the slightest. I find high fashion and Vogue (which epitomizes it) so ridiculous that the inclusion of reality TV and tabloid celebs and larger-than-life rap artists is totally acceptable. Major side-eye to anyone who thinks this is the end of times (any time.)

Expected influx cancelled. Everyone opted to fall over laughing at the sight of social-justice warriors defending a guy w/a household net worth of $300 million+.

This is Jezebel. Women in the US are treated just as badly as women in Muslim countries. The glass ceiling and lack of women depicted in television shows and movies is just as bad as honor killings.

Dude. Even in Alabama in 2004, a woman could testify in court, drive a car, and go to the supermarket on her own. I'm on your side politically, but let's not act like things here are (or have been recently) anything like things in Saudi Arabia.

I'm not clear how a woman who hasn't been indoctrinated into patriarchal values can genuinely integrate into Saudia Arabian culture. It would be objectionable and offensive to suggest that a girl can 'learn to love' her inevitable subjection.

I think the "getting used to living in and loving another culture" part was strongly implied already ("whom she finds surprisingly diverse in their views on the world and her situation") as was the part about the flaws in Saudia culture. As for loving it, instead of loving parts of it with a critical eye, that is such…

I'm trying to understand why Kim on the cover of Vogue is such a BFD. Why are people unhappy about it? It's not because she's beautiful; fashion mags only put pretty on their cover. It's not because she's dumb; I am sure cover models cover the entire range of dumber than Kim to smarter than Kim. Is it the…
