When it comes to humor I only care if it’s funny. As long as you’re not making jokes at some kid’s funeral, I think poor taste is great!

I empathize so much with this comparison.

Now I want to watch this stupid sketch, but I can’t. I can’t find a video of it anywhere. Now, in my imagination, it’s the funniest sketch in the world, but I’ll never get to see it! It’s like...it’s like when you find one of those 30 second porn clips, and you’re like, “This is the hottest shit ever! O-oh my god, if…

The kiss described in her story is gross, no doubt about it. But to call a posed photo of him miming groping her breast ‘assaulting’ her? Juvenile, most certainly, but let’s not dilute the meaning of the word, the power of the act by calling this picture ‘assault’.

It’s the worst kind of yellow journalism.

Urine for a rude awakening if you don’t think it’s true

I’m sure you believe that. Doesn’t mean that you’re right.

“but I just don’t think the headline or the initial framing or even the fact that this article is being written at all gel with your actual sentiments, which I’m pretty sure are the same as mine”

But like... he’s not wrong? Trump is a bad person, yes, but anyone who actively hopes for a sitting president to fail is a really cynical pessimist at best or more likely a nihilist or an anarchist. I mean, what, have you got a great tweet ready to fire when he starts a war? Hope that he gets impeached, hope that he…

Sean — and I say this with an incredible amount of respect for you as a writer (one of my favorites on the internet), a journalist, and a person — this is legitimately clickbait bullshit. The mountain of qualifiers heaped in the second half of this article practically unwrites the first and proves that point. Except…

Statute of limitations.

As someone who would be considered a “liberal” by most people, I think there’s a lot of truth to this. This is why it’s ok for people to punch Nazis, supposedly. Also, like, if somebody does something wrong and seems to genuinely have some remorse about it, we should probably be willing to give them a second chance.…

Oddly, this won’t deter me from listening/watching his material. This behavior is totally in line with his persona.

“confirms”

So... if you want actual concrete claims prior to vilifying someone you’re a rape apologist?

Katie’s reporting on this was total dogshit. It consistently misrepresented events and statements and never corrected them.

No. I’ll freely admit to being wrong about Louis, but the nature of the previous non-stories were crap and deserved to be called out as the rumor-mongering they were.

Can’t just insinuate someone is a rape apologist for pointing out Brian Singer didn’t do what he was accused of.

It’s a pretty depressing fate for the Antichrist Superstar: spend the past 20 years trying to shock people, and now the only person left who still gets offended at his antics is Sam Barsanti. And that guy gets offended by Kellogg’s Corn Pops, so it’s not exactly saying much.

So... wasn’t John Misty just trying to be satirical?
