Yikes. Seems like he’s a little defensive. And that she kinda did what he was accusing her of.
Wait. Let me get this straight. He’s going to therapy for jerking off without making sure he wasn’t on camera? Look, I’m not gonna dig on therapy but if I was a therapist and there wasn’t a great deal more to that story, I’d charge him for the hour and tell him not to come back. Ever. Maybe tell him to make sure his…
That is kind of the thing about these “cancel culture doesn’t exist” things... usually when people say that what they actually seem to mean is either “cancel culture does exist but it’s good actually” or “cancel culture should exist but it isn’t as effective as I want it to be.” I think a lot of them are kind of…
You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.
Obviously it's going to be a #metoo inspired plot, with Vince Vaughn speaking out publicly about the time in the first movie when Isla Fisher raped him. Hilarity ensues.
So she entered a pageant and/or attended some weird debutante event. Is there any indication that she was aware it had a racist history? It may be hard for some on here to believe, but googling the damn thing wasn’t an option in 1999.
which means by Rian Johnson’s metric, it’s shit
Says the guy who whines about “cancel culture” because people can’t abuse their co-workers...
He’s not the only one. I defend Rise and Fire’s comments. But I also defend your right to comment too.
I think James Franco might be a bad guy though. Hard to say. I personally think people are allowed to judge that for themselves like Seth Rogen (who was kind of pressured by Charlyne Yi to throw him under the bus)
Beautiful Rise and Fire!
“being pro-Palestine is not equated with antisemitism”
Ok, big response to this, apologies if it gets didactic. It’s not you, it’s me. But there’s a lot more there than the Reddit post you link implies, and the link and name you gave me sent me down a big rabbit hole here. And I may be collating these ideas more for myself than you, and I apologize that you woke the…
Yup, that’s very much the impression I’m getting. This is an amusing, and not unreasonable, way to promote the show, but in the end he either names a song, and we see that this was a fun little dramatic promo, or he concedes that in the moment his brain is a bit jumbled and he can’t think of one, which is fine; not…
Totally, and it’s completely fair if the approach doesn’t work for you. If you haven’t seen her older stuff, a lot of it is with her co-writers on Desus and Mero at the time, and it might land better for you in that more personal context.
I don’t know if “cancel culture” exists or not. What is clear is that those who claim it does wish it not to, and those who claim it doesn’t wish it to.
Yeah, I wanna see the whole thing too. I’ve been burned too many times by the outrage merchants in the past. It’s kinda like a reverse milkshake-duck thing going on.
That you think the follow-up question to “I like Jay Z” being “Which Jay Z song do you like?” is a “gotcha” question implies a belief that follow-up question are inherently gotcha, meaning almost all journalism that goes beyond pre-prepared responses is offensive.
And since that’s the case, go fuck yourself.
See, now…
The B99 writers threw out several completed scripts due to COVID and the events that lead to George Floyd’s death. They, along with other crew members, also donated to the National Bail Fund Network, which pays for people’s bails. Andy Samberg has also said that they want to make sure they are not precieved as a form…
