What I love about this article:
The irony is that Albert Burneko, who is smarter and more literate than Simmons, is also a shitty writer for exactly the same reasons as Simmons; a tremendous self-regard and a style that is more about highlighting himself than addressing his subjects.
I’m hoping this becomes a long series of rants by Albert that will get tagged with “Yea... no shit, but I don’t really care because I enjoy it anyway.”
You can feel the envy dripping from this article. Bill Simmons is a sports writer—so calling him a shitty writer is belaboring the point, which is what shitty writers do.
By obvious truth you mean that Tom Brady is obviously the greatest QB of all-time right?
I am an avid jezebel reader and I have to say, I am totally disgusted that a website devoted to feminist issues would report on this EXTREME invasion of privacy in this way. Beyond that, to comment on and poke fun at a woman’s personal decisions regarding her appearance and personal well being is not only undeniably…
Jezebel: Feminist until its not
Oof. You guys have turned into the mean kids at school that pass around some girls diary for lolz.
This feels cruel and vaguely misogynistic. How is it not? Shouldn’t we all be allowed the privacy of our genital grooming routines, unless we decide to become public advocates for the steam cleanse?
This is really unnecessary.
Sorry. He doesn’t get a pass, Polish. Eight year olds are taught to be gracious in defeat.
Do you know what a homosapien is? I get the feeling from reading this that maybe you don't.
I’m black, and even I find it comical how the article chastises the white cultural for not being okay with that comment. Whether it’s racist or not is beside the point. The phrase he said should not be condoned, nor should we try to shift the story to it being wrong for people to be upset with it.
Almost like he gave the guy a job, then took it back. Like some kind of....Giving TakeBacker
Lol, are you being sarcastic with that last paragraph too? If not: wouldn't that be excessive by any measure? Even if one is concerned with desensitization to violence, I don't think anyone is suggesting that (for example) Tetris and Sim City are causing violence.
Also, do you have a citation for that? I can't find…
The founding fathers would ask..."So you want us to make bullying illegal? How old are you? Freedom of speech is infinitely more important than your feelings."
You aren't serious? By saying that you want them to post threats is supporting gamergates position that the threats aren't credible.
Your safety is not considered lower priority because you are a woman. That is ludicrous conspiracy theory stuff.
What are you talking about...? TB has never attacked feminism at any point.
