Shouldn't they focus on making the original show good first?

"seem to have consensual rape fantasies and enjoy "rough sex","

Thanks, but no. I swear to God the only reason why that painfully unfunny show gets any awards is because they want to see Sophia's boobs jiggle when she does her celebration dance at the after party.

I should have read down further to see your comment! I ended up writing my own, which is stuck down in the greys and will never be read. I was just too pissed to read the other comments. Thank you, anyway. While I don't have any opinion one way or the other on rom-coms as a genre, the gendering is a huge issue. Also,

Right? I don't think women are the main target audience for Duck Dynasty or Pawn Wars or similar shows, which make up an awfully large segment of reality TV.

Yeah, its not nexcessarily about those of us that don't like them, its that you'd think a site like this would know better than go down the '(all) women like this!' path . . .

I don't know who half of these people are.

I was thinking the same thing. Ah, cognitive-dissonance-induced snark! It's just no fun being the screen that people project their ambivalence onto.

Ah, there's nothing like comforting familiarity of the entirely predictable, cringe-inducing, shitty and self-serving logic of the otherwise morally outraged person when it comes to animal welfare. All is the same with the world.

LOL, "morality itself is subjective". OK, it's clear we have nothing to discuss here, since we won't even be able to agree on a starting point, like, for example, "raping a baby and throwing it into a blender is bad," since as you said,"morality is subjective."

Wow, that completely misses the point. You don't have to like me. Fine. My response was aggressive because it was written as a rant.

Or maybe it's because of negative stereotypes of feminism perpetuated by people whose interest lies in maintaining the status quo.

Except when it comes to animal welfare. This is a large portion of the Jez commentariat is generally incredibly and embarrassingly illogical and hypocritical about it. Then it's not a moral choice someone has made because they strongly disagree with the factory-farming system, e.g. (not against eating meat, but

I think that people don't like to examine the broader impact of their actions because to do so would make them feel guilty. When presented with a person who is advocating for something they suck at themselves they're suddenly and inescapably faced with their own repressed guilt. The guilt makes them feel bad so they

When will people learn that humor is objective?!

In fact, I'm surprised that the organizers invited him in the first place if this incident is indicative of the attitude they have towards feminists.

Found a picture of one of the organizers.

You're right. Unless things are 100% perfect, there's absolutely nothing good or worth celebrating about them.

What's it like to have such a shitty life that writing nasty things about a child on the Internet makes you feel better?

Maybe tomorrow you will fall down a well or something and no decent person who knows you will really give any sort of a shit.
