Two points here:

Aw, that’s cute. You think that pre-civil rights and post civil rights politics are the same.

I’m surprised you spelled most of those words correctly.

You’re definetly Limp Bizkit’s demograhic.

I’ve been in plenty of locker rooms. Implying that you enjoy sexually assualting women with impunity is not and has never been a normal topic of conversation.

Getting tackled by a girl is nothing to be ashamed of. Now getting tackled by a kicker...

I’ve been getting my girlfriend into gaming recently, and what’s worked for me are the following titles:

I’m really not here to defend him, but that picture was from after the last out of the game - which you didn’t watch. Bad Kinja.

So, your entire post is effectively “this woman should smile more in public,” then when it’s pointed out she just lost her father you add a line at the end - but don’t change the headline or anything else in the post?

Cool.

Are you kidding me with this?

I’ve never said this about a Gawker Media post (which is probably saying something!), you should definitely just delete this. It’s just... Yucky.

Her hands were shaking throughout her entire speech, and she basically started sobbing when she brought up her father. The entire basis for this post is gross.

Delete this. I’m embarrassed for y’all.

Pisses me off to no end. As other commenters have pointed out, literally no one else in that shot is smiling. Even if her dad hadn’t just died, this is a disappointing article to say the least.

Her father just died on Friday. She explicitly dedicated her win to him. You should update (or better yet, delete) this article immediately out of respect to a remarkable entertainer.

What’s up with her?? Her dad died you asshole.

She’s just looking to the side. And no one around her is smiling either. So...?

I’m sorry, Stassa, but this article basically amounts to, “Smile, it can’t be that bad.”
