Why can't we have any A.V. Club branded sex toys? Like Idiotking Wishes He'd Had Rubber Sheets?

Wait… Uterus… tilting?

You know it, meatbag!

How'm I doin, my old friends? Not well.

Aww! Well, I guess I'll know in about 24 hours whether I was actually good for any of those goddamn twinks.

Apparently no invite required now. Though you DO need a visible comment history and/or some good past comments/convos you can link to on here to "verify" your identity. TIF, as the first spinoff community, had some hella serious troll issues early on and has become a pretty solidly walled garden (the invite…

It's got its charms!

You ever pop over to the avocado or TIF?

Oh my yes! In fact, that's what it was first created with the thought of! http://tolerabilityindex.fr…

See, that's the sort of witty, urbane sort of comment we're not going to get anymore!

Oh! I see what you're going for there — very clever, just wasn't clear at first that you were figuring out how to use the system to build a workaround to its own biggest flaw! Pretty, pretty clever.

Look, just because no one cares about your comments doesn't give you the right to insult the rest of us!

You still over at TIF at all? Haven't seen you on The Avocado….

Plus, I think it's really pretty fucking obvious that I was going way beyond any "wink wink nudge nudge" pro-forma disclaimer. I know damn well that you don't get anything done or change anyone's opinions by being a troll or harassing someone.

Um, if you can find any male Gizmodo Kinja/Product managers on Twitter, please let me know and I'll add them. I hadn't even noticed — those are just the ones that could be found on search.
