It’s literally out of the abusers playbook. From a book everyone should read (especially the people thread), Lundy Bancroft’s “Why Does He Do That?” in the section about warning signs.

I think you should shut the fuck up and let people deal with their ongoing relationship trauma however they want. 

I think you’re being very naive here. He couched it by using “healthy” boundary setting language, but what he was asking for was extremely toxic. If you’ve ever encountered someone like that, you know these demands only came after a period of love bombing that got her invested in the relationship, making it hard for…

‘Defining boundaries’ means letting your partner know the things that you won’t do. I.e. “I am uncomfortable with heights, so if you’re looking for a partner who will go rock climbing with you, I’m not the right partner for you.” If your ‘boundaries’ are placing explicit limits on your partner’s behavior (beyond…

Nah, it’s typical deranged misogyny. Imagine following a professional surfer’s Instagram, liking a bunch of her surfing pics, then once you start dating her, going back through all of her pics and sending her specific ones to take down because you think they’re too revealing and pretending that she violated your…

Well it is about a suburban kid. They’re basically tourists. 

Star for the Svengoolie reference.

This article seemed like it was going to list out a few points, and just stopped at 2.

Ft. Wayne native here. Coney Island is heaven. Three with everything (four if I’m really hungry) and a coke in a glass bottle.

Otherwise, Ft. Wayne is a culinary meh.

I cook a lot when I travel, but I don’t travel like Danny with a big family so it’s a bit different. When I travel, I make food at “home” to balance out the places I splurge on when I eat out. Or we’ll get stuff to cook a meal on a night when we’re so spent from activities that we don’t want to go out and sit at a…

I completely believe Robert Downey Jr. when he says that Mel Gibson helped him during the lowest points of his life and helped him get sober.

FYI: The Dr Emilio Lizardo (account: paging-doctor-parody) imposter account posting here in this thread is NOT the long-established account user known in the …

ultimately this is more on men not to assault people.

It was the perfect end for this show.

Oh don’t get me wrong, dude’s racist as shit - our internet personas are just exaggerations of our regular selves (we’re lying if we believe otherwise). But it doesn't make him less of a troll. 

This is dumb as hell. I don’t know what “people” you’re referring to in your post, but the Black people who were involved in this situation in 2005 damn sure knew this shit was racist (not “racial insensitivity”—it was “flat-out racism”). This behavior wasn’t less racist 20 years ago than it is now.

Killing their characters off was an overreaction to the actresses’ DUIs and a shitty plot twist 

Lindelof is at least willing to reflect and realize he probably was a dick.

This bums me out. It seems like Carlton Cuse was the bigger problem of the two and, at least based on how he responded to Maureen Ryan’s queries through a PR person rather than straight-on, less willing to engage in real introspection about it. It’s clear that Damon Lindelof has thought about these things in the years…

Lindelof and Cuse essentially say “How could I know I was a dick on a show I was running if nobody told me?!”
