Eh, I've seen it happen. That's not right either.

Dude, dial it back. You're making those of us who just don't find her funny look like assholes by association. These people obviously enjoy her work, and they're allowed to. A few sarcastic quips is fine, but that's a little much.

Ehh, she's not a joke thief. Mencia is too far. She at least writes her own stuff.

Yeah, that's not cool at all. I never read the comment sections there (though I did read some of the pieces and didn't think they were great), but once it's past the point of snark, that's not cool. Genuinely hurtful shit isn't comedy.

It's the dramatic periods for emphasis in the headline that make it sound like it's the event of the century. "Cameron Esposito Performing at AV Club Comedy Festival" is a much better headline.

Eh, I don't think that's Brietbart level. I don't agree with the last part of it, but I still clicked "upvote" because I agree with the "Why, because it's not wholesale praise for Cameron Esposito?" part. I've been reading this comment section for years, and the way I interpreted it is that it's always okay to mock…

If you're not making fun of Drake, you're one of the only people on the internet not doing that.

Condescending? Huh?

I only jumped in because I wanted to make sure nobody thought my issue with her is rooted in her sexuality, and also because people started casually throwing the word "Breitbart" around. As someone who cares deeply about women's issues, I just wanted to be sure you weren't lumping me in with "sexist shitheads." She…

He's not a comedian (on purpose), but we're also pretty hard on Mahky Mahk, both with and without his Funky Bunch.

It's not #NotAllMen at all. That shit's extremely stupid. I just think we should be able to insult a celebrity we don't like. I'm not even one of the posters who said she only talks about her sexuality. I'm sure she doesn't, although off the top of my head, that is the only thing I recall. I've seen a little bit of…

Yes, yes they can and should. I can't think of Esposito's wife's name off the top of my head, but she's also funny when they're not together. Wanda Sykes is also hilarious, and before she became a super-bland talk show host, Ellen was funny. The issue isn't even remotely that Esposito is a lesbian. It's that she's a…

Awesome! You're perfectly allowed to do so. I'm sincerely glad you like her.

It obviously wouldn't be a thing if it was just this one Newswire. They aren't as bad about it anymore, but there was a while (before I was posting) when it seemed like they were posting something about her all the time. The disdain is no stronger, probably not even as strong, as you'd get with someone like Whitney…

People show up to defend him because the accusations have literally been proven false. Doug Stanhope admitted to being the jerk-off guy.

Yeah, except not even remotely. Do you have any idea the vitriol Breitbart throws at gay people? If you did, you wouldn't trivialize it by comparing it to AV Club snark.

Have you read anything about Louis CK in the past six months here? The Gawker thing gets mentioned against him Every. Single. Time. There are zero exceptions to this rule. It's like the Emma Stone Asian thing.

I think you're interpreting snark way too seriously. It's not even her quite as much as the way the site keeps loudly insisting that we love her.

Yes, because people who don't find a particular comedian funny or enjoy the AV Club constantly throwing her at us must clearly be sexist. Anyone who doesn't enjoy anything any woman has ever done is a raging misogynist.

I don't know why, but I can hear Tina Belcher saying that.
