Fat shaming is okay when aimed at a man.

Same.  They’re such assholes about the Succession spoiler.  What I can’t tell is whether the writers actively hate their audience, or whether they’re pushed to rile us up to generate the rage-clicks.  ¿Por que no los dos? 🤷‍♂️

You’re not the only one!

The concern about cancel culture - at least among the ostensibly reasonable folks I have offline conversations with - recognizes that the truly powerful will likely find their way back after “laying low” for a bit.
