On one hand, yeah Nintendo has gotten by for a while with only incremental upgrades that aren’t anywhere close to its competition and people keep buying them. But on the other hand, you had no reason to expect that Nintendo would add 4K or a newer processor or anything else, people getting mad or upset at Nintendo for…

I’ll wait for the New Nintendo SwitchiU OLED Lite SP XL Pro Classic Mini.

“Yes, because that doesn’t happen at countless other events (e.g. proms, homecomings, parades, quinceañeras) for teen girls and women of every fucking ethnic group.”

Were there roving bands of self-important dopes deliberately bumping into the women for the express purpose of prompting the irritated response? Because if not, it pretty much ruins the comparison.

Does this make you feel good Sam?  To know you participated in a harassment campaign of a woman surrounding a complete non-troversey?  So much for not punching down, eh?

That’s absolutely what she should have done, and probably how she really feels, but saying anything less than “this is my fault, and even as a teenager I should have been researching the history of every party and organization my parents made me go to“ would have just stoked the controversy.

Czechoslovakia? The same Czechoslovakia that was annexed by the Nazis in WWII?

What exactly has Sam been doing for the last week that’s more important than this story, and the vital fight against teens participating in Southern balls that don’t seem to have been racist when she attended them, but were definitely racist before she was born? Weekend box office? Reporting on “alternate universe…

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

It first came to light in 2014, as pointed out in this article. So basically all this is “hey, how come it took her a whole week to respond to this thing we just noticed was reported seven years ago?” Performative outrage is just as dumb when it comes from progressives as when it comes from FOX news.

Great response from Kemper, especially when she absolutely did not need to dignify the outrage machine—which The A.V. Club fed.

Yeah but organized in Cicero and Berwyn. Two towns that have not had the best track record with race relations. I remember in the early 90s that a black family moved into South Berwyn(the very very white side of the city) and they got driven out after someone firebombed their porch. There was even a quote by a…

Lets not kid ourselves.  If you grew up in a town in this country with at least say 75 years of history, then chances are at least half of the organization that run in that town had a racist past

After reading this and a few other stories I am scared to look up if the Houby Parade and pageant from my home town is racist! I marched in that parade for years and both my sisters tried to be queen of that pageant!

And, I would add, less interested in this web site.

It’s a good apology. Mine would probably sound like:

Finally?

LOL Of course Barsanti is who they call on to double-down on this bullshit, and of course he gets just as much wrong about the actual truth, how shit unfolded, and Kemper’s apology.

Jake Flores said it best

If anything this whole thing has made me more empathetic towards her and more interested in her upcoming projects.
