I and millions of apparently deaf people think you're a snob.

Uh, wow. She seems nice and her music is fun. She also appears to be everyone's favorite reason to talk about why skinny white girls who sing about boys are popular, but neither her appearance or her music seem to be worth criticizing by themselves, so I fail to see why they're suddenly a political issue when taken in…

Wow, me too.

Does it have to be one or the other?

Exactly. Sunshine and rainbows are the best. So is "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

That's what I'm talking about.

Who doesn't like Taylor Swift?

Ugh, redacted. Accusations of slipshod journalism stand: please make it clear to people who haven't been following this story that this kid was present during the rape.

Yeah, agreed.

Sure. And I do think (and it sounds like you agree) the one thing that doesn't go addressed here is that if you just assume all you have to do to keep your boyfriend/husband is be hotter than he is, you are fucking selfish.

Charlie Jane, you are a terrific writer and I salute you, but I would rather watch "Bourne," "Prometheus" and "MIB III" every day of the week and twice on Sunday than sit through the misogynist barf-bag that is "Looper" a second time. If you can't write female characters, YOU CAN'T WRITE, RIAN JOHNSON.

But suppose you don't want to end the relationship and can't change the situation? I'm not saying that cheating is the right way to deal with relationship problems, but I am saying that people who don't feel appreciated seek gratification with increasing desperation. I don't think most people go cruising for hookers…

You're right, there could never possibly be two sides to a story, especially if one person has done something obviously wrong.

Uh... also, hotness or lack thereof becomes an increasingly less significant factor in a relationship over time. If you, say, ignore your husband/partner, refuse to fuck him, or generally treat him like shit, he'll probably cheat on you. Not that this is what the author's friend was necessarily doing, but there are…

That 1313 trailer is the boringest thing ever. Is it supposed to link to a different video with actual gameplay footage?

Gnomes. And the occasional troll.

You know what I am tired of, though? The neologism "mansplain." Because women do this as well, all of the time. Bad listeners who presume to unearned authority know no gender.

Just a little note to my fellow penis-havers on the subject of "Why do you dress like that if you don't want me to look?":

Experts were also baffled by the presence of a huge, ultra-fast insectoid monster between eight and fifteen feet tall, but when our investigative reporters canvassed the area they found nothing odder than a few flies with a propensity for landing on smooth glass surfaces.

I will say that in my experience, journalists with sterling records have taken products from companies they were covering, but generally speaking they were media companies and the reporters in question were covering television, film, video games, books, etc., and were either reviewing or directly examining the effects…
