I think the moment that you adopt an editing policy on these sort of leaks, you enter into some very dangerous waters (not that releasing confidential information isn’t already dangerous...).

Are you saying that all the hateful, sexual, and demeaning comments directed at that woman were OK because of what she said first? That she was asking for it and got what she deserved? That it’s OK to use hatespeech on twitter as long as you’re not the one that started it?

You don’t see how making fun of someone’s race on twitter MIGHT be the same as making fun of their religion, sexual preference, weight, disability, country of origin, etc?

If Gawker Media didn't have double-standards, they'd have no standards at all. They sure as hell don't even have editorial standards, or spell-check for that matter.

Odd that Gawker media didn’t have a problem with the hate being thrown at the idiot Christian woman talking about vaginas:

While I’m not a fan of the AVGN stuff, I feel pretty bad for James Rolfe and the utter shit storm he got hit with just because he said that he doesn’t have any interest in seeing the movie, and it doesn’t look good to him. He even admits that it may turn out good, but he’s just not keen on catching because he’s pretty…

“gender of its cast, its rebooting of a beloved franchise, or basically just existing” - I think my issue is it just doesn’t look very good.

I think part of the problem is that all the really bad stuff that will happen due to climate change is still probably a couple hundred years away, so it’s really hard for people living today to actually care.

i can only assume that you’re volunteering?

to be part of the population reduction, in case you missed that.

politically-correct social-justice-warrior bullshit is messing with casting choices ... the arts are the one place where any kind of choice needs to be acceptable and the work then must stand on its merits ... if someone wants to stage Othello with all gay, dwarf transvestites - go ahead ... or the Sound of Music with…

Has to be a slow day for Kat “RANTINGSOHARD” T. has to make a long piece about something something conspiration something.

Yeah, this is ridiculous. Churning out your thesis statement over a rumor? The insane SJW mentality that crippled Jez is now doing the same at io9. It seems like the only thing that gets full articles around here any more is manufactured outrage, with the exception of a few decent pieces by James. Everything else is a…

^^^^^THIS!!!! Let accuse a company of racism based entirely on unsubstantiated rumors. HELL, we can even admit they are rumors and people won’t care. As long as we strike that nerve and get those sweet sweet internet outrage clicks.

To be fair, none of this has been officially confirmed.

This deserves the laziest response: A Garfield gif.

Nobody cares if you like it.

This is a story about dragons and incest, and yet time travel is where you draw the line?

Did the concept of time travel kill your parents or something.
