Did you consider that Collin Woodard is not Kristen Lee? Writers don’t all have to agree, these are individual takes.

It’s almost like different people are allowed to have different opinions about a car or something.

The staff has changed considerably in the last four years though

You’re probably right; if so, it does drive me nuts like it’s intended to, though. There are so many LGBTQ+ people who are ACTUAL heroes, and it’s all about Ms. Too Dumb or Entitled to Google Russia or Clean My Suitcase.

I was going to say the same (though likely poorly and confusingly worded).

At this point I think they keep it up because they know it’ll get clicks and comments.  Literally no one but the “authors” here believe she was wrongly imprisoned.  100% agree.

Yes this woman is horrible, but Jesus H. Christ, give it up on Griner. She was NOT wrongfully imprisoned, nor were the drug charges bogus.

Which, if you watch the show, the character did. A switch flipped whenever she heard her “trigger” statement - which is what…

Thank you! This piece reads like Madlibs, as filled in by someone with a traumatic brain injury...

There are a lot of real things to get offended about, I hate it when people stoke outrage by purposefully misreading statements. Especially on a webpage founded by Henry Louis Gates Jr. for much higher purposes than dragging down a black man for the clicks.

“Twitter was ablaze with criticism, noting that him likening a Black woman to an animal is just his latest problematic comment in a string of offenses.”

He used to be charming, outgoing, and gregarious. Now he’s only outgoing and gregarious. 

Me too. I think personality changes are so broadly indicative of dementia and aging, that it will be tough to prove his sparkle diminished due to this singular event.

Wasn’t this an episode of Scrubs? Is the man Richard Kind?
