Similar to Sarah Silverman’s recent comments on Franken and Louis and some of the comments in the AVC comments about, people would rather bend over backwards to “think of the context and be compassionate” and comfort themselves in the (bullshit) idea that the abuser changed their mindset and feels remorse about their…

Bless Alia Shawkat for being the voice of reason in this sea of bullshit even though they only quoted her FUCKING TWICE in that entire shit show

It is like they have to okay it in their minds so they don’t have to feel shitty about themselves. You know you can say “It wasn’t acceptable and we told him that.” And hopefully they talked to Jessica Walter and she was okay to work with him again but that “he knows it better not happen again.”

Alia Shawkat, a younger actor with less clout than Bateman was able to speak the truth in that same room when she said that behavior wasn’t acceptable.*

they can just go fuck themselves. the show isn’t even that funny. also i perused the article (will not read thoroughly cuz again, fuck them) and the most reasonable quote is from Alia Shawkat who is only quoted twice in the whole damn circle jerk of a “conversation”:

I think this interview will feel very familiar to any women that wants people to know what happened to them was not okay, but also feel pressured to go along to get along.

Bateman: “not to belittle it, not to excuse it”

Reading the way these guys dismiss the incident in front of their co-worker who clearly DOESN’T THINK IT WAS NOTHING is very discomfiting. I get loyalty, even misplaced loyalty, but they don’t seem to have any toward Walter.

You need guns to protect civilians from the tyranny of the government.

This is what real Christianity looks like. Our peculiar American breed of political stunt-Christianity has been dominating the narrative for far too long now; when so-called Christians declared their support for Trump, that should have been enough for the pseudo-Christian political movement to implode on itself.

Trump attempting to show compassion is like reading VCR instructions written in English, translated into Japanese, then back into English

Um, it’s more than a little judgemental, I fully recognise that. I wish I felt differently but I just don’t. There are always Reasons but you don’t think it’s funny that those reasons always end with women taking their husbands’ names? Lots of men hate their fathers, but seemingly not enough to result in enough men…

It is such a rare phenomenon that the paper refers to it as a “micropractice.”

I majored in English in college and in one of my smaller, seminar-style classes we read Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I did not like the book, and during discussion I talked about how hard it was to read the male characters in the book constantly objectifying the female characters. One of the guys in…

People (men) need to stop equating mental health with mental illness. If the physical health center made a program about healthy living, we wouldn’t go “GTFO I’M NOT DISEASED.”

That’s fine, I won’t argue with any of that, I was responding to this

You haven’t read the book, I have and cops had been working off and on for the entire time. I am not arguing she didn’t influence the investigation, I am arguing the stupid notion the cops did nothing. The book is NOT just about Michelle’s obsession, but about the detectives who kept working on it when they could.

Nazi pugs, nazi pugs, nazi pugs fuck off!

“Who handles a gun without always assuming it’s loaded anyway?”

He’s apparently not that well-versed in safety. There’s never any reason to pull the trigger on a gun, loaded or not, unless you’re pointing it at something you’re okay putting a hole in.
