It matters to me. It ain’t the site it used to be. It’s become a social justice lifestyle blog, not an entertainment site. Bring back Nathan Rabin, in all his perverted glory.

So, yeah, ultimately CaNcEl CuLtUrE isn’t the big scary boogeyman it’s made out to be because enough people are perfectly rational and can figure out if someone did something that deserves consequences.

You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.

So the fact that Grimes is dumb does not surprise me in the least, but the fact that AV Club is now stanning for communism is just a little bit off-putting.

disagree with Grimes’s politics all you want (I sure do, and I’d sure be mad about it if I gave a shit what she thought or said) but my god this is some of the ugliest, most misogynistic bullshit I’ve ever read. I can’t believe a man didn’t write it lol.

The only thing that stumps me is whether Schimkowitz was genuinely unaware (in which case he should have known if we’re going by this website’s standards) or whether he genuinely believed he could sneak this past the readership.

You get a star, because too many of the AV Club commenters are quite firmly orally affixed on Alamo’s toxic jock.

Are they the best Theater experience? Sure, but (to paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson) great, I have the *best* of the venereal diseases!

You’re surprised that the AV club is trolling for Twitter Racist Thirst, but won’t talk about the seedy underbelly of everyone’s favorite Keep-Austin-Weird theater chain? :P

If it wasn't so pathetic, I'd laugh at The AVClub trying to blame Ellie Kemper for systematic racism but not mentioning Tim League’s reported - and recent - failures to deal with sexual harassment and racial profiling across his various businesses.

Dude seriously....

It’s his schtick as one of the most prominent and annoying hyper woke trolls on this site after recognitions. 

AvClub’s news writing is pretty much just a delivery vector for unnecessary snark and abrasive takes. Hughes’ articles in particular.

This this this 

I’ll go ahead and help Doctor Professor out then, if not on behalf of the black community at least on the behalf of my little portion of it. Ray Fisher is coming off like he’s crazy. It seems like he’s hoping if he waits long enough people will just forget that he hasn’t said anything of substance on the Whedon thing…

Look. I have no idea who you are (other than a vague suspicion your account is linked to/an alter for Moral Dictata), and I have no idea who Dino Ironbody is. I do not particularly care for Joss Whedon. I suspect my political views are more closely aligned with yours than theirs.

Again, WTF? This isn’t as quite as cheap and really gross as attacking Lohan for no reason but it’s in the same realm. The ridiculous amount of inter-linking in a single article to try get more clicks on other articles is also stupidly apparent. Congrats for going full Spanfeller.

Cops are good in general.

“Cops are also often bad in general” For fucks sake. This is a sad story, that just got sadder after hearing of the man’s circumstances. Can we leave this shit for another more relevant article? I hope the man gets help, I hope Moranis is ok and that it all ends well.

They toed the line: the anti-maskers were rednecks and ignoramuses, while the maskers were pro-mask for all their usual SoDoSoPa-ian reasons. My favorite mask related joke was Stephen Stotch’s repeated use of the phrase “chin diaper.” 

My guess is that when you’re sitting at home combing through secondhand accounts of other peoples’ internet activities so you can write a thirdhand clickbait article about it, literally anything else looks like a great job by comparison.
