The site which rails against both appropriation and Ed Sheeran on a regular basis winds up having writers who like Ed Sheeran going on the Dembow riddim!

It’s all in the bias of the author of this article. The author won’t come out and admit they don’t believe Boyden’s defense or claims.

Comments like these are just as useless as trolls, ultimately. Without pointing out at least some clue of who the troll to ignore is (this doesn’t require bringing anyone out of the grays), you’re essentially tone policing.

Yeah this is one of many examples of Jezebel being hypocritical for their own pet causes.

For the record, Angelina Jolie would be an awful candidate for that position, and not just because of narcissism. (edit: I know you were being sarcastic, but I like pointing this out to temper people’s fawning over celebrity attempts at altruism).

That’s true. I guess I’m so cynical about this subject that basically any step towards reform feels like a drop in an ocean, while commentaries like this article make it clear that most people don’t have a clue how big that ocean actually is...

This is a start. But as long as American award shows are only interested in focusing on American output (or the insult that is the Oscars “Best Foreign Film”), these shows are a joke, to be frank.

Mariah just can’t help herself. Either too dumb or too prideful (or both) to just shut the fuck up about this.

We live in an age where showing accountability is akin to admitting weakness. It’s all just assholes and the internet sycophants who make an echo chamber defending them.

Hot take: that episode of Cribs sucked and was a terrible career decision

The asinine nature of your observation perfectly reflects the asinine tone of contempt in the article you replied to.

The very same.

Anyone who hasn’t seen it already, watch To Sleep With Anger.

I agree 100%. And with that said, I recommend Robert Bresson’s films. He’s the antithesis of all you’ve just railed against, and imo, the greatest filmmaker ever.

This isn’t true, but the image put in my head was funny.

I blame Thom Yorke and the onslaught of poseurs he’s inspired.

For the record, the Soulja Boy/Chris Brown conflict (and Soulja Boy’s increasingly erractic behavior) have been one of the more interesting things in pop culture in the past couple months. Admittedly, yes this subject isn’t on the radar of a lot of the Jezebel constituency. But it’s been interesting. The…

edit: it’s been a long week already so I initially read this as sincere. I’ve since rethought that and am going to assume this was sarcasm. Why is this coffee not working?

And NBC continues to capitulate to garbage!
