Yes, it's both of those things. A nod to dicks out and the practice of protest by showing female breasts.

It's actually interesting that they wrote in Uncle Kyle instead of calling him a cuck.

Can anyone confirm the flute song was Never Gonna Give You Up?

"They’re never framed as being right. Rather than actually try to understand where the girls are coming from, they resort to victimization, then anger, then self-empowered masculinity, essentially becoming the elementary-school equivalent to NotAllMen. Even Kyle, usually the voice of reason, gets more caught up in…

Also, since I'm shitting on AVClub from up high: The fact that your editors didn't question you on whether your two examples actually fit the argument of your article, nor did they point you in the direction of the far more interesting article shows they don't give a damn about your career.

You could have written a fuller, fresher view by addressing the influx of fanfic expectation into the creative work of others, a behavior that ignores the author's design or even authority on works that haven't even finished yet. It's a bizarre, twisted form of The Author is Dead, where the author can't even be the…

Probably, considering he has an audience and that audience would likely ask for a Ghostbusters reaction video. AVGN is a character he created and that sort of over-the-top response is kind of his base.

Yup, he was not interested in giving them money even to create a reaction video off of it.

"This idea—that it’s good taste and faithful fandom, not sexism, that fuels backlash against an unreleased, as-yet-unseen movie based on nothing more than a trailer—has been capably refuted elsewhere."

This did not feel like Archer. The only time it felt like Archer was with Pam's final joke. There's so much more to explore in spycraft, why do noir pulp with spycraft characters? It actually does NOT translate as easily as this opener implies.

Louie Anderson did a AMA on reddit, with a handful of question about Baskets.

I feel a major point the episode was trying to highlight was that Barbrady was once the only policeman in town and that's all they needed. The increase in police and their armament is a part of the current discussion on police brutality.

It's really not valid. It's a large stretch. Don't mistake examples of misanthropy and sociopathy for comments on gender roles.

This show isn't a comment on masculinity. It's barely a blip on the radar. That's the writer's own paranoia feeding into the review. Meta as fuck.

I am pretty sure people take male fantasy action movies as obvious male fantasy.

This is chick lit as all hell. Almost pure female fantasy. That being said, while a lot of it is groan worthy, you can enjoy bits of it for the historical work.

Agree. I feel the show is getting viewed through a Mad Men's lens when there's a major difference between the two.
