This is the exact response they should have made. If cosplayers are any indication, some people do like dressing up in impractically-skimpy outfits, but that shouldn’t be the only thing that’s available. More available cosmetic styles, not less, that’s the ideal.

That’s fine. Give more options so everyone’s happy.

Parker said the decision to not remove the revealing outfits players criticized about from the game wholesale because it wanted to balance the experience for “hardcore fans” and players in the U.S.

So now that all the good writers are gone, you guys are going with 100% outrage instead of the usual 85%? The last years of the AV Club are gonna be so lame.

Thanks.

The photographer used a neutral background so the graphic designer could add whatever backdrop they wanted. And the graphic designer said, “That’ll do.”

What on earth?!

I was honestly curious, because I don’t know where “watered-down goth emo” enters into Good Time, Cosmopolis, High Life, or Tenet, among others. But it would semi-accurately describe his work in the Twilights.

Well no, you said “Goes? Wasn’t he already the worst kind of watered-down goth, emo?” - So I think asking “Have you seen Robert Pattinson in any non-Twilight movies?” is a completely fair question, because that’s what you made it sound like. Didn’t seem like Jesse was trying to “make me into one of the sides in that…

Best wishes going forward for you Dowd. I enjoyed your work here very much over the years and this place is most certainly worse for not keeping you around

There’s some movies you can tell are bad just from the theater poster or DVD cover.  Every thing about that picture screams “This movie is terrible”.

Thank you for your reviews, Dowd. You and the rest of the writers stable deserved so much better. I can’t wait to follow y’all wherever you land.

Dowd flourishes his cape and disappears into the dark of night one last time. Godspeed, sir. Until the critic-signal appears in the clouds again, we’ll be watching.

A.A. taking a bow with a solid B, on a superhero film no less? Now I’m real excited

Farewell Dowd. You and basically everyone working at this site were so much better than J/O Media deserved.

Dowd, I’m glad the last movie you reviewed for this site was a halfway decent one. I’ll miss your good work around here.

Have you seen Robert Pattinson in any non-Twilight movies?

Change the false, slanderous headline. Ellie Kemper does not have a “racist past." She went to a ball when she was 19 years old. Be better.

I’m not sure that holding a 41 year old responsible for not knowing a beauty pageant was racist/classist when she was 19 (and really, from what I’ve read they were working against all poors, not just PoC) is really worth the hysteria.

1999 was a looong time ago and everybody’s understanding of racial/social justice has…

Yeah, isn’t this kinda like saying Kermit the Frog is a racist because there were confederate flags at some random Southern state fair in “The Muppet Movie”?
