Plus witch hunt is a modern term to describe stuff just like this. Central Park Five - witch hunt. Duke Lacrosse - witch hunt. Day care abuse scandals in the 80's - witch hunt. Mccarthyism - witch hunt.

I can’t wait to find out if rapists sink or float! LET THE TESTS BEGIN!

There has been a bunch of men accused. Where have you been? And there will be more. And not all of them will be guilty, not that it matters because everybody already assumes they are. Hence, witch hunt.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the guy when Barsanti and other virtue signaling bloggers get accused by some former coworker. It’s always the loudest “allies” who end up being the creeps.

Here’s an example... he used the phrase “witch hunt”... and despite all the people responding to him insultingly covering what the witch hunts were... they missed the point entirely. As a history major who specialized in medieval europe and did his senior thesis on witchcraft I can tell you for sure... yes women were…

It is, you dumbfuck, if anybody is accused for something and punished without proof. That’s the witch hunt part.

I miss the old AV Club.

I understand. It’s fun to feel superior. But if you try and fall in line with social justice politics they will eventually turn on you too. No one is ever pure enough for woke twitter.

He thinks that some of the things coming out don’t come close to the level of seriousness of those made against Harvey Weinstein/Kevin Spacey and shouldn’t get the same level of punishment. What am I supposed to be angry at him about, again?

Suggesting we discern shades of grey and nuance across incidents rather than a ‘good’ pile and an ‘evil’ pile without any context? BAD COMMENT.

I think AVclub has fully embraced the Tall Poppy Syndrome ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome) and... that’s not a good thing. Every day a new allegation or sexual assault post. Every day. These aren’t productive. Abuse should be fought, and as someone who has fought it himself (yes, sometimes men get…

Welp, I seriously and emphatically don’t give a shit. I hope someday soon the AV Club grows out of this “Look what this dude said when someone asked him a question! Can you believe he said that while also having a penis? Fuck him, right?” phase.

He is right, of course. Margaret Atwood just got ripped on Twitter for retweeting Andrew Sullivan. Margaret Atwood! The purity police will never be satisfied, except for that brief window after they denounce some beloved actor in a comments section. Then it’s off to find fresh blood.

Ladies and gentlemen grab your torches and pitchforks, which you were each issued the day you registered your Kinja accounts.

Which accusations were someone brushing someone’s knee? I can’t for the life of me remember those!

He said it’s a bit of a witch hunt?!? GET HIM!!!
