it's just such an honor to meet the ORIGINAL troutmask. i've been getting by with this cheap replica for YEARS.

That's a pretty great article. Here's the link: https://www.theguardian.com…

The opposite of virtue signalling and white knighting, natch. The More You Know!

i'm not sure how shrugging and acknowledging that one joke out of dozens in an episode was homophobic exactly tears Colbert off the air?

Hey, man, stop vice signalling, we get it. You don't need to black knight all the time.

If Putin were a woman, I highly doubt Colbert would have made an oral sex insult at all, actually.

I'm not sure why that would make the joke less homophobic? Like, yeah, news anchors DO generally try to avoid overt bigotry on air?

I dunno, I'm just a straight dude, but I kinda feel like all the times dudes have yelled 'c-cksucker' at me or implied that I was sucking some other dude's dick were at least attempts to be homophobic?

Frame this comment in gold and hang it high upon the wall

You get that the cast of Archer is full of terrible people, right? That's the joke: that these people are monsters who destroy themselves and everyone around them on a regular basis. The cast is openly racist, ableist, sexist, homophobic, etc, etc and that's more or less fine because we're meant to laugh AT them, not…

If it's any consolation, I wouldn't enjoy hanging out with you, either. Or really anyone who tells women to shut their cock-holsters on a regular basis? that doesn't sound like a chill party to me.

Homophobic jokes like this one draw their insulting power from the idea that gayness hurts your masculinity, that sucking dick is something women do, and that being a woman is a terrible thing for a man to be. So, uh, congratulations, I guess, on identifying the underlying framework that powers both homophobia and…

oh, that's an interesting take! i would have said that coulson was a secondary character throughout this arc, with the plot and character work being driven by daisy and simmons. they're the ones who remember the real world, they're the ones with an active plan, they're the audience stand-ins for exposition about how…

Blizzard died, didn't he? I thought Daisy shot him in the head in Costa Rica.

ah. no, the MCU disapproves of calling people subhuman based on who they are and preemptively killing potential dangers—what Hydra was trying to do in Winter Soldier, and what Trump has been trying to do with his executive order barring refugees and Muslims and ordering the detention and deportation of harmless…

i mean, lots of people make soap as a hobby! i bet coulson's stuff had rosemary embedded in it or something fun like that.

I'm curious who you consider the good guys in the analogy you're crafting.

i mean, not that i really care what you think, random dude, but trump has fantasized openly about rounding up and interning "illegal aliens" since he was campaigning, and has shifted ICE from pursuing violent criminals to rounding up parents, the homeless, college kids, victims of domestic violence, and churchgoers.…

That's what I thought, too. It looked like Gordon's plume to me.

Is Coulson the main character? I feel like that's been Daisy pretty much since the first season.
