Honestly, I can super relate to doing something performative in a non-performative context and it being a huge fucking mistake. Sometimes you do something and feel like an asshole, and it’s because you’re an asshole.

Can I agree that the apology was lame while still thinking the “#Rashomon” tag was well-used? Regardless of it being used in reference to an Asian, it distills his point into a single word: Two people may remember the same event very differently, without deceitful intent on either side. It’s certainly less charged…

You really live up to your screen name.

If people in the grays are going to continually shit on every single sentient organism within a 10,000 mile radius of the state of California, and lump every single one of them into same group as the fucking actual rapists, then I don’t even know what the fuck anyone is supposed to do.

To be fair, to suggest Corden is condoning Weinstein’s actions by joking about them is like saying Stephen Colbert condones everything Trump does by joking about him constantly. Ridiculing Weinstein/Trump is the point.

Just remember: not making jokes about Harvey Weinstein is “being cowardly”, but making jokes about him is “too soon”. Welcome to the era of walking on eggshells.

Plus I seem to recall a bunch of publications getting mad at SNL for not making any jokes last week.

Wow the guy who tells jokes about current events for a living told a joke about current events and now he’s a “disgusting pig”.

While it seems pretty ridiculous at this point to act like Weinstein didn’t do anything wrong, I do think the idea that we shouldn’t be too quick to always believe these kinds of allegations isn’t totally without merit. The principle of “innocent until proven guilty” may not technically apply outside a courtroom, but…

That’s an entirely rational explanation.

You will now be banned from the ex-Gawker-but-still-Gawker network for your lack of hysteria and blame throwing.

“Anyone who says a bunch of vile shit and tries to play it off as satire or shitposting can go straight to hell.”

If you really followed Fantano for years, you’d know that his Thatistheplan videos are clearly satirical, and that he definitively isn’t alt-right.

I would recommend against taking sensationalist journalism at face value (aren’t we supposed to be past “fake news” by now?) but if out-of-context quotes are your jam then, go ahead, crucify the guy with a black wife for being a nazi.

Hate to be one of those folks who has actually collaborated with Fantano within the past week on a review and has had somewhat regular conversations with him, but that Fader piece was a total hack piece and borderline libelous to boot, deliberately stripping out context because Fantano has taken aim at some of their…

As a follower of Fantano’s for years. I’m just going to have to point out how much of a reach this article is. To cite one video and two podcasts from a body of work including close to one thousand videos, it can be quite easy to cherry pick a few key problematic moments to build a reactionary article off of. The…

Seems like “shit posting “ as defined by av club is any posting that’s doesn’t fit their ideology. this is probably a shit post. I miss when this website used to write great shit about art and not cover “shit posters”

It’s not too hard to understand the satiric tone of those thatistheplan videos. Fantano is a critic who spends a lot of time reading shit on the internet. When he picks on SJWs, it’s only because they tend to think in dogmatic cliches (his real target).

paranoid people who think a new Civil War is coming

Unfortunately this healthcare bill is a zombie, and not one of those George Romero zombies that can be easily killed, but one of those brain-eating Return of the Living Dead zombies that keeps coming until you incinerate it, and then the fumes spawn a thousand other unholy, unkillable bills in its wake.

Call me Noob Noob, because this episode had me like, “God... DAMN!!!’
