Does he deserve everything that is coming to him though? From what I’ve read the allegations all boil down to the fact that he’s kind of a jerk and not exactly a ray of sunshine to work with. If we start cancelling people for that 75% of the population is going to be out of a job.

I admit that I got tired of a lot of the Joss Whedon tropes mentioned here at least fifteen years ago. Still, I have to wonder if the huge amount of disdain for anything seen as a Whedonism in this wouldn’t have been here if this review had been made 3 or even 1 year ago... Even though I think he deserves everything…

Remember when The Sex Pistols had mohawks and everyone thought they were cool? Why are today’s Hot Topic teens any different??

Pete Townshend looked cool as shit because he could actually lift the damn thing over his head, give it a few royal smashes, then finish it off by planting it in Keith Moon’s kick drum. Phoebe Bridgers looked like your grandma trying to swat ants away with a comically misshapen stick

The amount of people here trying to have totally serious opinions on people they think were offended by the guitar smashing absolutely baffles me

... Is this a joke?

How dare you not accept the AV Club’s totally sound and not-at-all knee jerk assertions that every criticism made online must be fueled by misogyny/ageism/racism!

I don’t even know what this story is about, but people are saying they weren’t offended, they just thought she looked ridiculous. Seems like either you’re baffled by English or you’re just looking to be offended by people being offended.

It is because the younger generation is super lame.

That’s how I saw it but apparently it’s whining + the desire to “protect” the guitar.

Agreed. All this Gen-Xer whined about was the fact it was the lamest attempt at guitar smashing the world has seen. I mean, really, put some back into it next time...

It does lose a bit of raw emotion when you have time to set up pyro effects for it beforehand.

In fairness, whiny Gen-xers didn’t care that a guitar was destroyed; more that she looked silly trying to swing it, which is an indisputably fair description. 

In fairness to the Simpsons...the AV Club doesn’t really cover ANYTHING, anymore.

I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.”

Probably a coyote

I don’t like when non-Texans make fun of Texas. Yes, we know! But we can say it, not you! It’s like, we’re a terrible state in a thousand different ways, but at least we’re not Florida.

Jim Jordan was there also, so if anybody was willing to give a pass to someone trying to slip into a minor, it’s him.

Yeah, this is a publicity stunt, not a fucking act of expression. That’s what makes it shit.

Agreed.
