The way his eyes widen when he says semen...did the drugs kick in right at that moment? Was the thought of semen being anywhere but a lady’s baby making parts (her only important bits obviously) so scandalous to him as to elicit this reaction? Or maybe, just maybe, he really is the hate-monger I’ve been saying he is…

But man, isn’t it just next-level gross that we can even discuss this in those terms? Like we have to actually have a talk about a man-a presidential candidate-being “friend-zoned” by his daughters. What is this year?!

False. These six posts that were removed had nothing to do with either the Condé Nast situation or the Hulk Hogan lawsuit. Moreover, most of the suits related to these six articles have already been dismissed.

I just flipped through some of the more trafficked articles from the past several days...honestly, and this is just my opinion mind you, but I don’t feel like it’s significantly worse than usual. We’ve always had trolls trying to detract from the conversation but I don’t feel nuanced dialogue isn’t occurring all of a…

Depending on your definition of celebrity, Donald Trump might have been...

Really? I’ve seen more shitposters than usual on The Slot and The Concourse but I haven’t encountered any trolls worse than usual. Yeah the volume has increased a little since the Heat Death of Gawker so the haters have to go to its sister sites, but we can take it! We have the power of the dismiss button! And each…

Is it bad that I’m at the point where my first response upon seeing this was, “Well, that’s a blatant PR move on the part of the NYPD. ‘Oh we don’t hate black people, we escorted Rihanna!’” Like Rihanna can do whatever she wants but of all the artists to escort, they escort her? Not Beyonce too, even though they are…

Well none of the artists you mentioned are outspoken and proud Bajan women with tattoos so I’d say it’s not the NYPD’s usual pop star of choice to escort (read: this is their attempt at a PR coup).

I think only Kanye knows what Kanye means these days. Case in point:

If you couldn’t choose the exact song for Spotify, odds are you were using the free version; you can only do shuffle with that. Spotify doesn’t really reveal all its goodies till you put up the $

Right sure, but I’ve never even been a fan of that one line either to be honest. In my view, the whole “don’t save her/she don’t wanna be saved” refrain is a statement directed to male listeners, J. Cole’s homies. It’s meant as a warning to not waste time with the aforementioned gold-digger types because, while they…

I don’t know, doesn’t this seem rather thirsty of Drake? Like, this is the guy who has been high-key pining after Rihanna for years. The guy in this picture looks a bit too excited I think personally:

I’m with you on Drake’s problematic nature, but let’s not pretend J. Cole doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Tupac and co. No Role Modelz is pretty much dedicated to perpetuating the binary system of black women being either strong-willed and loyal mothers (queens) or ignorant gold-digging FWBs/girlfriends (hoes).…

Garth Ennis has a habit of engaging in character assassination to prop up whomever he empathizes with in a story whenever he writes for DC or Marvel. For reference, see the following: https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/?skip=20&tag=c…*

In an interview somewhere, George Perez even said that they wanted to telegraph her status as a vile character by making her “slutty.” Problematic in its own way, but I’ll be damned if they didn’t do a good job of making Terra a hate sink.

Bobby! Great interview, as always. I especially appreciated your question about representation in film; as a queer man of color originally from the suburbs of Jersey, I can count on a single hand the number of movies that I feel adequately represent my experience.

Between this and my new favorite show, Mr. Robot, USA is really trying to carve out a niche for themselves as a network capable of prestige genre television. Good for them, I say. The trailer for this definitely has me intrigued!

That last pitch sounds suspiciously similar to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...I’m very okay with that fact. Would watch.

And on the heretofore undiscussed Eighth Day, God trolled?
