He admitted to these interviews at 25....and suffered no significant repercussions for 27 years when what he did was legitimate and legal abuse to be sued for and possibly be a felony in any first world state. Sorry, your non-apology even now is worthless.

You’ve never understood or cared to look into captured markets in late stage capitalism, have you?
This. I repaired a $800 Samsung TV for around $70 in parts, it blew again 3 months later because somewhere between the power board and the cabling there was a short that killed the motherboard. It was worth the repair in my mind because I atleast attempted it and resolved it, what I found out though was that getting…
Eh, a HUGE chunk of the furry convention world is in it for sex. I’ve been to enough cons to know about hooking up and getting it on. It’s not nearly as kinky as the CSI episode makes it out to be since again, monogamy is far more common in any community that isn’t exclusionary to it. But I agree that there isn’t…
How many name drop the concept versus just happen to have anthropomorphism featured? Beastars and Zootopia both exist without any meta commentary, the CSI episode went to the concept of furries. So it’s my go to citation since this seems to be semi-self-aware of the situation presented by it.
I’m not disagreeing with your personal assessment, I’m saying this is definitely an extension of furdom for some. There are some sections of this space that I would NEVER venture but I’m aware they exist and for some folks out there this is it. I just saw another article on slate about this and how an open furry was…
Exactly! They’re basically fit and well proportioned men and women who beyond the very nice fursuit masks are basically going to be dead-on attractive. It’s basically asking ‘would you date a solid 8?’ with an adding layer of contrivance. They reveal way more men’s faces in the trailer (men are judged on a much more…
He didn’t have a whip out but he kicked the crap out of his brother in the video, the kind of thing you do when you’re 13 and dumb, not in your 40s and a grown man. It was really eye opening. My mom who was a psychologist immediately pointed out how those behaviors are not just problematic but really do show how…
His comedy special when he couldn’t be on TV that he released post the non-compete clause ending was enlightening and disturbing. His physical abuse of his comedy writers was in any other situation a firing offense and definitely a series of lawsuits. What was interesting was how much Andy talked him down even though…
I’m not a convention goer in the last decade, so I won’t speak for anybody else but these masks aren’t all that far off in quality from what I’ve seen in the past. Different strokes for different folks but...yeah, I wouldn’t declare this as some ‘no true scotsman’ case.

So, you gather above average looking people who have near-model or straight up model good looks, put them in pretty high-grade fursuit masks and then have them go on blind dates? This is just a furry’s jerk off material. I really am not against it on spectacle but it isn’t much more than some executive who gets…
By the time I hit late HS/College the really alternative/punk scene was already fading in Pittsburgh, Club Laga was on the wane, Pitt’s punk scene was fading. Slackers on Southside was already starting to become a relic of the past as more bars started to crowd out all the weird shops that had cropped up there (I grew…
Classic outsider tales tend to be viewed through the lens of current outsiders. For me, I view these stories more along the lines of light-skinned people of mixed heritage passing as the dominant group. But again, that’s my go-to response because that’s what I study and think about.
Harmon made a whole episode about the continuity train and when the community went collectively ‘ok, so, you’re an asshole, now what?’ he really had no comeback for that. It feels like the other writers sat him down to explain how that episode sort of turned the corner on their shit and hopefully S5 makes good on…
Taiwan considers itself to be a part of China.
Horror is cheap and sells. Think about this, horror movies basically come in waves. The late 50s/60s had a surge with Hammer, then a steep fall off into the late 70s/80s when the Slasher film surged (I mean, in the 1980s we had 2 legitimate cultural icons), then a fall off in the 90s with Scream being too meta and CGI…
Him and The Clarks were so treated so weirdly divergent, I never really listened to Iris much but I’ve heard enough of the Clarks to know that they’re on the same level but you would think the Clarks were going on to reach the heights of alt rock and Iris was a complete has been. I was only born in 1984 so I remember…
I live in Pittsburgh and I happened to go to rural PA in the greater metro for a date a few years back and 38 special was playing. I mean, not like ‘oh at a small bar, good for them!’ but a HUGE venue, sold out no less, at the casino in the area. I give you they’re more a 70's band but they had continued success in…
Oof, you doubled down on trying to circle back to some attempt to make it literal. Interesting...
