I think Splinter served a valuable purpose and I wish they still existed for that reason, but the thoughtful, well-reasoned coverage to trash hot takes from out-of-touch, bubble-dwelling 24-year-olds ratio was not great.

Meanwhile they couldn’t lay into Johnny Depp hard or fast enough.

lmao they’re still calling it complex on here cause they were defending Jussie from the jump.
