Agreed, this my least favorite take on this movie. Everything on that dumb moon evolved to communicate by doing a secret brain tentacle handshake. Equating it with sex is like saying everytime you talk to your dog you’re also having sex because we also say words with our mouths to each other during sex.

It can be that due to the physical and emotional connection the que provides - it is necessary for sex but ... man, so what? We use our mouths for eating and sex, some folks use there butt’s for sex and pooping and folks with d*icks use them for sex and peeing. The vast majority of external appendages have multiple…

Came here to make the same analogy. This article is just rubbish.

Agreed - surely there are less click-bait articles for an agency like this write about. I get that the appendages are sensory, but sensory tie-in and sex are two different things. I’m sure sex can be heightened with the sensory input, but the appendages aren’t sex ORGANS. But if the Na’vi didn’t have actual sex organs…

Sigh.

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.

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…

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.
