You didn't nod sagely enough!

What about that one time they hacked the planet? No appreciation for Acid Burn and Zero Cool.

Remember the brief time when hackers did interesting or even valuable things with their skills instead of being total assholes?

All incredibly well said. Thank you for summing up how I feel so well!

Here's the summary I had been following, which includes reactions from other folks:

I should probably expand on this: Nick Robinson has been accused of some gross, creepy behavior towards women. Receipts were not provided (not that they have to be) but based on the reactions of many people who have worked with him, including Griffin and other former podcast cohosts, it seems likely that the

That Reply All double feature WAS really fascinating.

Oh I agree completely, and I can't imagine Griffin ever doing something like that. I felt so bad for him this weekend. But was glad it was Nick, not one of the good good soft boys.

I was going to come here and say that I don't get why people get so attached to how celebrity couples fare, but then I realized that if any of the McElroy couples divorced I'd be heartbroken, so I can't talk.

No snark here at all: good for him. Even if you feel pretty sure you'll be supported, coming out can be friggin' scary.

Molly, I'll take Sterling K. Brown off your hands if you don't want him.

My AV Club life was so much better when I blocked Genji. I can't recommend it enough!

Yeah, I'm more upset for Griffin. And the women involved of course.

God fucking dammit can't ONE PERSON I LIKE be decent? Fuck!

What what?!

I did read the entire thing. It's sexist evo psych drivel. Sorry you're stupid enough to buy into it.

I'm saying people who use any evidence of any difference between men and women as evidence that sexism is okay are sexists. It is clear though many studies and through real world experience that even if there are differences, women are just as competent as men in literally any field, so this guy's bullshit about how

Except tons and tons of women are interested in stereotypical "man" stuff. It's almost as if societal conditioning is what has influenced many interests and not biology, though I know it's scary for you types to realize many women might be better at math and video games than you.

No, sweetie. "Women aren't good at tech because pseudo science" is not reality.

I wish all sexists identified themselves so easily.
