Well the AVClub isn’t being intellectually honest here. Parler’s anti-censorship mandate relates to ideas, not to threats and pictures of shit. I don’t see what they’re doing to be inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the site. 

lol it’s cute how you people think he committed some crime he must be punished for, or engage in some Maoist struggle session to correct. Maybe do some soul searching and try to understand where your pathological desire to control people comes from. 

Pretty much the entire newswire is cancellations now. They also need to stop calling it news because it isn’t. Whether the writers are on the right side of the issue or not they simply insert their own assessments of guilt in all the time, like this comment, buried among a bunch of statements that otherwise look like…

Roger Moore played Bond from age 45 to 58, and Elba is 47 right now (Craig is 52). Maybe you don’t keep him around for a 4-5 movie run but I think he could pull it off. 

If I had to guess I would say they are apprehensive about cutting him loose because of all his drug and mental health issues and the bad optics it would create. Better to just have him do the occasional harmless appearance. 

My god, liberals have just become their own kind of clown show. 

I don’t find it that controversial that there might be a component in the brain associated with gender identification that gets “flipped” or something. This is consistent with studies where people with ambiguous genitals were raised as the wrong gender, and the kids knew their whole lives something was wrong. But to…

I don’t agree with this. There will be lines that have to be drawn, such as with sport. I don’t believe I have any moral/ethical obligation to be fine with trans women in women’s sports because it aligns with their therapists’ treatment recommendations. But I can’t oppose it without acknowledging the basic truth that…

How do intersex people prove anything about trans ideology? Gender is a sociological construct, not a biological one. 

Especially since he’s wearing gloves and so he couldn’t even use his fingernails.

Disney doesn’t have to worry about pissing off actual white supremacists. They have a strong enough lock on the entertainment market that the casual racists will still watch their movies, and there aren’t enough hard core white supremacists of the boycott variety to make much difference to their bottom line (if there…

Hughes is a parasite. If Disney said nothing he would have been scathing and condemned them as participants in white supremacy. But they said something so instead they’re cynical corporate opportunists. You can’t reason with people like this because they aren’t honest actors. 

Nope, not anymore. This is why I don’t understand how celebs keep coming forward to performatively demonstrate themselves as allies. It always results in someone successfully cutting them down, and often, as in this case, the crime is inferred from scant evidence (i.e. she was an asshole to me and the only explanation…

God, even supporting the message isn’t enough for some people. They’re trying to amplify the notion that racism is not okay, but sure, chastise them as fakers. Shame them to shut up, make the chorus quieter.

Probably not, I imagine he would have had trouble keeping such thoughts from the cameras that followed him for years and years, and I doubt the filmmakers would have sat on that nugget (though they probably would have revealed it late in the series so as to prevent people from tuning out in disgust). You can be a…

Joe Exotic is a piece of shit. And also Carol killed her husband. 

I’m not gonna lie, you’re sort of adorable. 

lol, you can talk as much shit as you want on this site. But it seems like you see the topic of the newswire and then google to find out what social justice crime someone has committed and make sure everyone knows how much we should hate them. It’s...peculiar.

Your hobby of coming to the AVClub and trying to cancel whoever you don’t like today is oddly fascinating. Do you count this as activism?

Hey we hated Josh Gad way before Frozen came out.
