“catering to the older audience”

Lesbian or not, it’s clear the author of the review is using her white womanhood to try and become the victim when messaged by a black actress she wrote a review on. 

Yeah, I reread that bit trying to figure out what I was missing that makes sense of that. It doesn’t matter how much ‘social power’ someone has if they DM you, because it’s not public unless you make it so. If Billie Eilish slid into my DMs to call me an asshole, I’d be alarmed and confused, but it wouldn’t have the…

“I’m posting it because I don’t want this person who has more social power than me to think that it’s fucking okay to do something like this.”

So the reviewer makes a reductive comment about how the movie is just an advertisement for cleavage, a star from that movie sends a private message joking that if the reviewer had paid more attention to the film than the cleavage, maybe she would have gotten more out of it, and somehow the reviewer is a victim?

Because BOTH of those places are places you don’t want to live LOL.  IF people wanted to live there the land wouldn’t be that cheap.

Covid deaths, insufficient medical care, witless governor, racism, low education levels.

I don’t know, the guy’s pretty picky about what he appears in.

OK, but that “at best” is pretty awesome.  Yes, Jordan Peele is the more successful of the two, but Keegan Michael Key is, by basically any measure, very successful.   It’s hard to imagine Desus and Mero would see that as a cautionary tale.  

Why do you want to infantilize women and take away their agency?

This is dumb

That age range is super fucked up but 18 isn’t a child, come on.

That’s not really fair.  You’ve never had someone’s demeanor be so off-putting that it made you uncomfortable and made that person seem untrustworthy to you?

I got a lot of downvotes on Reddit for stating that Chappelle’s argument was the equivalent of white people saying shitty things about black people and then letting themselves off the hook because they have a ‘black friend’. I’m guessing that’s mainly because 99.9% of the people on Reddit are stupid children. Or…

You know who else liked to hang out with prostitutes?  Jesus.  Why do you hate Jesus?

Water is wet — film at 11.

Praise Beebo! Legends was the reason why I stayed on AV Club so long, it was so nice of them to feature AV Club on the show. Now if only someone would pick up the show for a shortened, final season! 

Her defense didn’t have a great case. Hard to defend a defamation case when your client can’t stop perjuring herself on the stand. 

Amber’s defense really shit the bed. 

Don’t think of it as 'dropped a mountain on herself.' Think of it as ‘being crushed by the weight of it all.’ More poetic.
