“How could it have been any worse?” is exactly the sort of thing people say when they want to start a battle, because obviously it could have been in countless ways. And yeah, that sounds like shrieking fanboy - posts like yours were very common in the wake of both S7 and S8. Fair play to you that you don’t though! :)

I mean, you’re proving my point absolutely. People like you are beyond ridiculous.

I don’t think it was as bad as a lot of people like to make out (it was bad, but not car-crash bad), and in the longer-term, history will be kinder to it. Our generation, people who are 30-40-ish now particularly, will be writing articles about how it sucked from how until we start dying off, but I strongly suspect…

I really enjoyed GoT’s last season, and I’m bummed that more people don’t feel the way I do. Not because I think their feelings are invalid or some of their arguments aren’t legitimate, just that I know a lot of other people were invested in it strongly, and I wish they could feel as happy about it as I do. :-/

Look, for everyone who talks about ‘fast travel’ in GoT season 8, can we please look back to how long it took in season one for Ned, Arya, and Sansa to get to King’s Landing?

I don’t think people are saying no one should criticize Emma Watson, I think what people are saying is what Emma Watson’s done doesn’t really seem worth the criticism, and thus it feels weird for this post to lean so hard into the snark.

The bad thing is that it’s Emma Watson that’s doing it, who is a celebrity and should therefore by default shut up. There seems to be an ugly undertone of ‘stick to your lane’ to Joan’s response, regardless of the validity of Watson’s message.

To Joan, the highest possible crime is saying something that other people have already said.  Amplifying means nothing in her opinion.

Your ability to infer things that aren’t actually in statements is truly a monument to reading comprehension. Brava.

In a moment where the world is essentially on lockdown, and the rights of women in the U.S. are being run roughshod over in the dead of night, using coronavirus as a cover (See: the abortion bans in…

Personally, I find it to be less the website’s tone but this author in particular. There have been numerous complaints in the comments about the things she writes and the tone she uses.

maybe i’m just stupid but i do not grasp how adding more voices to a message that clearly has not yet been heard is... bad?? i get annoyed that people pressure me to be married and if someone asked me about it i would talk about it too????? i dont understand this crime.

So Watson uses her spotlight to spotlight things and, as per usual, Jezebel decides the best course of action is a snark piece.

You really ought to change the tagline of the blog from “A Supposedly Feminist Website” to “Not Even Really Pretending to Be A Feminist Website”.

oh one of those guys.

“Now unless that article that won’t load for me atm can give facts that are strong enough to disprove it, I’m always gonna believe dick Cheney helped orchestrate 9/11.”

Part of the conspiracy theory is working backwards from your conclusions.

This honestly isn’t true, because the demographics Sanders has staked his campaign on are unreliable voters. They couldn’t even carry him to the Democratic nomination, much less carry him to victory in a general election.

As a sidenote, I get that Jezebal stans for the USWNT, I legitimately do. It is the national team for their country and it is successful in its sport. Yet even with that in mind, man is the site’s need to rewrite and recast history when it comes to their past actions fucking wild. I mean claiming that the team was…

When I read the original news articles on what the USSF attorneys had argued at court, I legitimately laughed in disbelief. Also the core reason I read so many of those articles was to confirm that they had really made that case as I still can’t quite fathom it. Not only is it a bizarre case to make, for example every…

Gizmodo: “Stop comparing Coronavirus to the flu!”

Nah - it’s perfectly normal to compare it to the flu. It’s an obvious frame of reference to an illness with symptoms similar to, if not the same as, the flu. It’s somewhat worse than the flu - exactly how much worse is yet to be determined. There, I compared it, perfectly fine. The problem is that you can’t equate it…
