Meanwhile we’re still waiting for the AV Club to apologize for publishing the initial article. That’s the real controversy. 

Psh finally. She was gracious but honestly didn’t need to apologize for anything. Go fuck yourself Barsanti.

I’m officially done with this site.

Eat a dick, AVC.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Too late to change the headline, kiddos. You let it sit as the main story for, what, 36 hours? Give me a break. 

She hasn’t released a statement yet, but here’s hoping she at least understands why people are upset over her participation in an event rooted in white supremacy.

Seems this post was written to generate clicks and nothing more. Glad to see the overwhelming majority of replies coming to Kemper’s defense here. FFS, it was more than 20 years ago, and she was 19. Believe it or not, most people evolve substantially after their teenage years.

Hey AV Club management-

This is such a stupid nothing burger... You guys didn’t even do your journalistic diligence to research the whole thing modernly. You’re just reacting to Twitter trolls and trends. This is such a bullying move by the AV Club, it’s disgusting. By the time she was crowned, the Veiled Prophet Organization had been…

I was an avid commenter on this site like a decade ago. Back then the TV Club sections were numerous and the pieces regarding current entertainment were just so well written. There were even numerous book and music reviews! Remember those?? Articles like this are just embarrassing, I really need to stop coming here.…

it has been discussed. shes even discussed it. you just half ass things and didnt know about it til people wanted it to be a thing. this isnt news. if you live in america, moreso the south, youre living in something that was a racist institution. when are you gonna write an article talking shit about everyone down…

AV Club: There’s no such thing as cancel culture!

This is a shit story, fuck you for 3rd version of it in two days.

This is seriously one of the saddest articles I’ve seen on this site yet, and genuinely might be the final straw for me. Maybe it’s finally time to remove y’all from my bookmarks. I have Twitter for surface-level reads and discussions of nothing-burger stories.

Dude, why the fuck is the lead on AV Club?

I’m very happy to see that the AV Club watched the Britney Spears documentary, thought long and hard about how society treated young women celebrities, then decided that none of it mattered the second they got some hot goss.

Honestly, the part of this article that bugs me the most is this:

Same. This article, and the fact that it’s still the top story on the page, is the last straw for me -- I’m leaving this site.

I’m deeply uncomfortable with this take, insofar as it can be called a take. What is your central thesis here? That this person (who I’ve never heard of) is, indeed, some kind of racist or white supremacist?

I hate to tell you this but: you don’t have any evidence of that.
