everyone who hates this article is dilbert author scott adams

you know, there’s a much much simpler way to understand all this that is not only more accurate but kinder?

I mean, I could point out that the idea of all women not having penises is a bit transphobic, but it’s probably not something she even thought about tbh. Not really marking her off for that, it’s just a relic of language that we’re entrenched in right now. Still, it’s not great and should be examined whenever it…

yeah I’ve known about this for a while and it’s pretty gross.

I feel like you’re one of those folks who thinks rape only happens in dark alleys by masked men.

I think probably the worst take I’ve seen of this is kate harding’s idea that we shouldn’t penalize franken because that would lead to other democrats getting penalized for their shady behavior.

lol all the comments saying they don’t know who dril is. like that makes you cool.

so liking cinemasins makes you.... smarter??? dang I would not have seen that coming.

the share of AV club commenters who basically exist to complain about site material that broaches uncomfortable topics is slowly marching past 80%. I believe they share some of the same pool of commenters that complain about any new or strange thing or idea made after, like, 2006.

I mean it’s possible that the virus died out due to there being no more people for it to spread to, meaning the only people who are left are people who are immune or people who were so isolated that it never got to them. Who knows though, it’s probably not really wise to dwell on it so heavily since the show doesn’t…

He’s not my enemy lol.

Nah.

Dude doesn’t need a damn cookie for deciding to do the right thing. The reality is, Seinfeld lives in a different world than most people do, revolving around stand-up comedy (and also being wealthy in New York). The old adage that comedy should always be respected even when it’s just thinly-veiled shitty attitudes is…

“About time, asshole.” is the right stance to take.

to be fair, who even does that nowadays

Yeah you’re probably right there. I guess I’ve just seen so many creators say their work isn’t “political” as a way to avoid taking responsibility for the ideas their work presents (see: print comics industry). In this case it’s probably more that he doesn’t want his show to have obvious political overtones, which,…

What’s funny to me in this is that Harmon says he wants his show to be apolitical, which, like, is impossible? I mean, the idea that a work of art has no say in the ethics of reality and how the world should work, and has no impact based on the society it was created in is pretty dumb. I figure by “apolitical” he…
