I think Gawker has more than enough diversity to have met the “token” hire threshold.

You should use this photo of them instead. It is one of the worst photos I’ve ever seen of a couple in all my years of traversing the internet.

Rom-Coms are already gay, duh.

This is perfect!

I wasn’t trying to make the point that Gawker was diverse?

See, that’s what I kind of wondered. You really gotta encourage kids to get into the industry, and I’d bet that seeing companies like Google and Facebook participating at campuses might break down some of the hesitation that younger minority kids might have because the tech sector is just so blindingly white.

You do realize that Gawker is owned by Denton, and a few other close confederates, though Denton owns a controlling share?

The Board of Directors for a company majority owned by one guy?

What does “senior leadership” mean? Because “senior leadership” the way most people would interpret it would be basically two people. Craggs and Denton.

I’d have to figure only small ones. I think there are dynamics at the front end of the pipeline that probably make it hard to have a truly representative workforce, even if you take affirmative action-like steps.

But mostly I just gaped at the screen, flabbergasted that he has no one in his life to tap him on the shoulder and let him know that his bro friends aren’t the only people on the planet.

How does a person grow up to be an adult without ever having the 2 minute conversation required to learn how to do laundry?

What’s the fun in that?

Even from a purely self-interested perspective it seems like the agent goofed up here. Society is responding to stories like this very differently than it used to.

Just don’t talk that way.

That’s not the problem people had with Benoit. No one has a problem with people thinking the WNBA just isn’t as much fun to watch. It’s the wholesale dismissal of women’s sports that people take issue over.

I think the author doesn’t know the first thing about the mayor or the churches, so he’s making assumptions about the nature of their relationship with one another and assuming that those churches have no agency in that relationship.
