Yeah I’m a trans woman and calling this “misgendering” feels kind of insulting, honestly. If you say you’re comfortable with two sets of pronouns, you can’t act like it’s this massively egregious thing for people to default to one or the other. I get that people always defaulting to “cis” pronouns feels like they’re…

Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

Example 1: The Democratic Party.

Except that Chrissy would direct message Courtney Stodden, in private, and tell them to kill themself. That is not edgelord, troll humour for the masses. That is private, ghoulish behaviour. And she directed her insults to Stodden for a period of about eighteen months. That is persistent harassment toward an…

A stray dog bit my sister once and we blamed my sister and kept the dog. (We also kept my sister.)

I headcanon Barba as being unapologetically bi.

You mean you don’t squee in cathartic pleasure when someone who said something you don’t like a decade ago when they were 17 suffers a huge career setback?

It’s so telling who we allow to “grow” and “learn” from past shitty behavior and who we don’t. This WOC made some shitty dumb tweets when she was a teenager, but Ted Danson did a literal minstrel show as an adult and we still love him on The Good Place. Kelly Osbourne implied the only people who clean toilets for a…

This is gross. I’m as woke/SJW-y as the next far-lefty, but she was SEVENTEEN. Jesus christ. If she had put that stuff out when she was 27*, then sure...you’re a grown-ass adult by then and should know better. But call off the dogs for a few months and see if she’s grown. I was a goddamn idiot when I was 17.

She was a teenager when she said those things, and has since apologized for it. A lot of us had bad opinions when we were teenagers.

No, no, no...

“Sorry if I hurt anyone with my insensitive tweets” is a non-apology. At that point, you’re only apologizing because because people have said they’re hurt, but you’re still behaving as if you’re not sure they actually are. All actual apologies are ultimately “Sorry to” someone. And in the case of…

Is it? I thought non-apologies were “sorry if you were offended” bullshit - you know, where they make it a problem of the victim’s reaction, not ackowledging that their action was the bad thing.

I don’t understand why this is an objectionable thing. I’d appreciate it very much if someone with patience took the time to explain it. Apologies in advance, I’m sure the existence of this comment will not sit well with people who already understand this better than I do.

Since colorism is systemically inflicted on darker-skinned people, it feels imprecise to call this a “colorism scandal.” If they lightened her skin, that would be a colorism scandal. Basically, I’m holding out for the production team’s response to this one. It’s obviously uncomfortable, but if everyone involved was…

Janice is correct about so call “models” who has no talent and only famous because of their rich parents.

The *English* love them.

I would not go so far as to say the Americans are more enamored with the Windsors.

Um, that’s nice, but where is Perez Hilton’s apology to the world at large for his entire existence?
