“Dodging” is maybe too nuanced a concept for the argument skills you’re bringing to the table, kiddo. If your reply is “hurr durr if he didn’t dodge he must have enlisted durr!” you can kindly save it.

You know you’re agreeing with the OP’s point right? It’s something we’ve seen a few times in the past few years, from “how can the Craigslist Killer or the Boston Bomber be good-looking?” to “of course Woody Allen is guilty, he looks like such a creep.” You both (and the quoted text) are correct that it’s dangerous to…

I was going to say, you don’t usually see a “sic” for what could have just been an auditory blip. It’s not even like she used a double negative or something.

“instinctually”? Wow.

My computer fucked up for a second so I read Dax’s tweet as belonging to the pic of Obama and Bourdain. I think it’s possibly better that way.

you don’t find two word replies followed by a soapbox dismissive by bloggers obnoxious, though? The reformatting of sentences is something that Gawker/Jez desperately needs. It makes sense that you’d take the “garbage person” vitriol in stride but please, for the people who genuinely like these blogs, crack open an AP…

It’s a great show but has nothing to do with this conversation and- to my knowledge- is not airing again until december and has definitely been covered by Jez within the past 5 years. Is BBC paying you to promote interest for the show? That’s really the only explanation for your left-field comment here.

Because it’s a launchpad for her feminist campaign? because her launch to fame isn’t any less legit than a dude who put out a song 5+ years ago- in fact, she’s worked pretty hard building her brand and cultivating her image? If you’re honestly asking this question it’s time for…

I mean let’s say you’re a fan of Joni Mitchell and you’re also aware of the psychosomatic damage she is potentially causing by being open about “Morgellon’s disease.” Doesn’t that conflict your view- and certainly your endorsement- of that celebrity?

From the linked article:

Also, “young man” seems rather coded when talking about an 11-year-old...

Did she even end up marrying that guy?

Yeah, who would have thought that someone who’s been public about their eating disorder struggle would have the audacity to gain weight during a stressful time? I really hope your boner can recover.

Whoa, easy on the scare quotes.

This is an excellent use of typo

And yet something so familiarly Ariana Grande-ish about the pose and expression...

This is excellent commitment to not seeing the forest for the trees, good sir.

You support people who don’t take sides? How does that even work? Do you not have an actual opinion about anything and just sit around playing devil’s advocate all day?

I mean you obviously didn’t support anyone in this thread to begin with so we’re not losing out on anything here...
