Ah yeah, lets encourage kids to be even fatter than they are now by glorifying obesity even more by now making fat superheroes. Good idea, liberal America.

After reports on Friday 

I read that article. There’s no retraction, no “whoops,” nothing. Just a new article repeating the facts. There’s even a link inside the article to the offending article! It’s bad editorial practice. Straight up.

I’d say it’s all about who knows you. It’s a very subtle but distinct difference. Sure I’ve met lots of people in higher positions or positions of power that I can say I know, and some of them might even remember me. What’s actually been helpful are the people who know me either though personal and professional…

THIS. This article perfectly encapsulates why I can’t stand Rich’s articles.

I’m confused what makes the statement that women are intimidated by a certain type of booze ignorant. I’m pretty intimidated by scotch and have no problem admitting that. Most women I know won’t touch it because it’s too harsh, is it just the word “intimidated” that’s offensive/ignorant? Like if they said “based on…

Personally I think the lady on the bottle looks pretty cool and even though I rarely drink whisky I have to say this bottle is appealing to me. Why should an old guy on a bottle be considered universal? Like others pointed out, most whisky drinkers I know are old and male. I don’t feel offended by this.

It’s not meaningful representation, sure.

Then why intro your article clearly insinuating that there is legitimate reason to not believe Redick? I love the editorial nature of Deadspin writing. Why not take up for the position of this being a bogus controversy, instead of seemingly stirring it up yourself?

There is not a place or state in the entire country in which someone can be charged with sexual harassment criminally. End of story. Full stop.

No. No no.

“It is indisputably sexual harassment. That’s a crime,”

Not really. Its to pump as many articles as possible out to justify this sites continued existence. And then pat themselves on the back for being brave enough to publish this garbage.

Honest question - would this story have been written if he did not win gold? It seems like there was ample time to discuss White in the lead up to the games. I am not defending him, I don’t personally have any affinity for the guy, he kinda sounds like a piece of shit and I know many people that know him and have…

Words have meaning, especially in the legal sense. Manslaughter isn’t murder in the 1st degree. Both involve killing someone. Rape and statutory rape both involve sex, but are different. Some people prefer to be specific with their language, you should allow them that choice.

Somali people are called Somali, not Somalian

Indeed. It’s a very strange battle to be fighting. And that the person shouting down Rose talking about her abuse is themselves an acused abuser just makes the whole situation even sketchier.

This. My friend was in the audience (she works & that b&n and as able to snag a standing spot). She said the heckler was extremely rude and had been quipping the entire time rose was on stage. I don’t take Rose to be a TERF at all. I think she’s so tired and so frustrated and so hurt (all valid) and coild use both a…

Andi Dier was trolling an obviously emotionally fragile woman. I’m not sure why Mortal Dictata and others feel the need to reward her behavior by treating her like it was some brave speaking truth to power moment. It’s just manipulative, messy, and sad.

Rose isn’t perfect but neither is Andi Dier (the transwoman) - different women accused her this week on Twitter of sexual assault and hitting on underage girls, though I notice no one is mentioning that here.
