I’ve just scrolled through the top comments, and don’t see anyone particularly defending her over this. Maybe they were outvoted. Seems to me the AVC still doesn’t like her, and in this instance, justifiably so.

“AV Club used to be like 90% of my non-porn time online”

Er... I’m still not seeing that one. But then I haven’t watched that show. Is it a reference to the early 2000s British rapper, Ms Dynamite?

There is currently an ongoing corruption investigation against him and his wife which does seem to be bearing fruit.

The counterpoint to this is that teenagers are always going to have sex anyway, whether the law says they can or not. All criminalising that would do is put even more young Americans in prison for stupid reasons. And if you think sending them to the military or college would stop them having sex... well, you can’t…

If anything, Trump is just the symptom of how fucked up the GOP got. He is their ‘moral compass’.

Is this a good place to mention it took me about three seasons to recognise the title ‘Transparent’ is a pun?

“If she were a man of color, then she’d never have the fast track that as a white person she has and you know it”

OK, apologies for misgendering you. I guess I was actually the one being mansplaining-y there! And I’ll take your word for it that you’ve got plenty of experience of sexism and feminism yourself.

All I’m saying is that I think Dunham genuinely identifies as a feminist, I don’t agree that she’s secretly faking it for…

Someone once said “It is hard to get a man to understand something when his job depends on him not understanding it.”

Well, it is at least partly about money. Weinstein had more than enough of it to buy people’s silence and maintain a ‘good reputation’.

“The entire internet is pathetic?”
Honestly... yes. And I include myself in that. The Internet has made us all into assholes (or, bigger assholes than we already were). 

It. Can. Be. Two. Things.
She does seem like kind of a terrible person, but there’s no way she’d receive anywhere near as much hate if she was male. Plenty of men have said stupid shit about rape accusations recently, without being burned alive by the Internet in the same way.

‘a show in Brooklyn with no characters of color’

What Odell Beckham thing?

OK, break it to me: what did Gabby Douglas do? All I can find is she ‘faced criticism for not placing her hand over her heart when singing the national anthem’ which seems pretty mild in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t get how you can say a woman is ‘not a feminist’ when she clearly identifies as such, and has been outspoken about women’s issues on many occasions, frequently drawing criticism for it. I mean, who the hell are you to say otherwise? What have you done?

By all means argue that she’s hypocritical, or not a good…

Well, that finally confirms it: we’re living in the future.

I’ve seen the description ‘funniest person on Twitter’ assigned to a few different people, and I’ve always thought it’s like saying ‘tallest person at a dwarf convention’.

There’s just as much diversity among monarchies as there is among republics: either form of government can produce good or bed leadership. Of the world’s remaining monarchs, some are lousy and some are pretty good - although the latter are generally ceremonial rulers with no real power.
The problem is when you have a…
