But it isn’t just the UNCLE death that is an anchor point, there is also the Captain Stacy death that made a huge change in Peter, in many ways more so than Gwen. They are the written character change points of a Spider-Man. One is to teach ‘With Great Power...” the other was to first teach the audience none of the…

I’m worried that in your eagerness to condemn Ellie Kemper for this teen transgression, you’ve failed to notice that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is really a coded communiqué to the members of the Fourth Reich.

Definitely one of the most toxically misleading headlines I’ve read all year.

Yeah, I saw someone comment that “at the very least, she participated in a racist and classist organization.”  I was like, “What, America?”  

We’re all responsible for it, but condemnation for it is another thing entirely.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ooh, these seem easy. I want to do one! How about:

There’s more black people at Veiled Prophet Ball than work at the AV Club

Welcome to: When Reposting Twitter Drama Goes Wrong - AV Club Edition.

She shouldn’t have to respond to this. It’s very likely she had zero awareness of the organization’s racist past when this happened (twenty goddamn years ago); she shouldn’t have to apologize for something she had no knowledge of.

Yeah, I’d reckon most pageants in the South and Midwest have racist as hell roots. But I’m not going to blame kids and socially-obligated young adults for participating in something that lost its racist overtones decades ago.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

Bloody Singapore redesigning England to fit their view. You wouldn’t see that the other way let me tell you...

That’s in reference to a car model being particularly deadly. Not exactly sure what you’re getting at.

Yea, that’s not what you said, though. 

“And hey, if the community cannot survive and rebuild as a proper, safe, caring environment, maybe it doesnt deserve to exist at all.”

She was 15. Good judgement takes time to develop, and not everybody has it by 15, nor should we expect them to. A better question is why the hell were the adults in the house cool with letting a 15 year old girl live alone wirh a bunch of men

Awful broad brush you’re painting with, no?

Whoa, Jisu was 15? Not to belittle her grievances,  but what the hell is a 15 year old girl doing living in a house with grown-ass weebs who probably grew up sexualizing Asian women? Again not defending Zero, but unless I’m missing something, that’s like moving in to the lions den. 

Im pretty certain this whole situation will only get worse before it gets better (not just for Smash but for the whole competitive FG communiy in general). That said, the recknoning is necessary if these are to be safe environments. And hey, if the community cannot survive and rebuild as a proper, safe, caring…
