Dude, it’s TikTok, not a cure for cancer. Get a grip. The whole site could be nuked and there would be exactly zero net change in what is actually going on in the real world.

And I wonder what their reaction would be if someone said speculated how much Lizzo weighs? 

You are not a good person.

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

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

Yes, but it’s never been easier before the internet, and the rise of social media in particular. Mass harassment is now something you can do while waiting in line at a store or taking a shit at work, assisted by helpful notifications on various social platforms letting you know who today’s main character is in the…

“who is also Black, (*ancestors face-palm*)”

G/O Media Inc’s websites have really been struggling with generating content since Trump got kicked out of office.

+1 for “dry snitching”.

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Good. Don’t like the rules, find another tournament, employer or profession.

Bingo. Lot of pre or half written articles got trashed when the only violence that occured on theaters during Jokers run was at a Frozen 2 screening. The moral calculus that predicted shootings cus of the movie is very very dumb.

Yeah, I don’t think the film was any great shakes, and Phillips is an ass, but it did obviously resonate and not in the way the smug shitlibs thought it would. It’s not the only, best or most eloquent film about the alienation of shit jobs and failing systems, but it is a film about shit jobs and failing systems that…

I think a black actor should replace Joaquin Phoenix. That way, every side would have something to complain about. 

Of course. I mean, that is completely how it works, right?

I agree, but he’s not defending people getting fired or losing opportunities based on things that haven’t “aged well,” and I imagine if someone were to suggest that he lose those things because there were homophobic jokes in a film he wrote from 2007, he’d have a problem with that.

If you’ve made a joke that’s aged terribly, accept it. And if you don’t think it’s aged terribly, then say that.

You are losing the argument when the response is “Well Trump did it”. Now Trump is the standard for analyzing a free press?

Bravo to your post!
