No, I'm a humanist.

The only one you're right about is Conan. He isn't sexualized. Maybe that's why I don't get into that movie. It's odd that you think a person can only be photographed as a power fantasy or a sexual one, rather than both. Current superhero movies are all about doey-eyed pretty boys with aesthetically developed bodies…

I have a problem referring to anyone as garbage, even in extreme circumstances. And since you can't know the mindset of someone solely on the basis of using that word, I think writing them off as garbage is pretty extreme.

Slate? Race is related to genetics. Religion isn't. If race is an outdated social construction why are you arguing Maher as a white man can't use the n-word. Bit of a contradiction there.

Hey, I supported Sanders, and I'm on your side of this argument.

I'm pretty sure Carlin, not to mention Lenny Bruce, would side with Maher, if he were alive

You think people who disagree with you on this issue are literal garbage people—not just wrong, mistaken but garbage?

No, in fact there are other threads on the AV Club this week where people have given the impression Jews or Muslims are a race and were mocked for it, and the person doing the mocking got "likes". Slate has run mocking articles on politicians for making this mistake. Religions and races are two separate things, and a…

You don't understand what I wrote, and the idea that the male gaze has no place here is pretty far removed from reality. Wonder Woman has always had many more male fans than female (DC acknowledges this) and the movie was clearly designed to appeal to the gaze of both genders.

Unless I'm really, really mistaken. I'm pretty sure she's identified herself as female several times.

He really is gushing throughout this review in a way that's usually reserved for infomercial appearances, or Greta Van Susteran interviews with Sarah Palin.

I find Key and Peele mundane, but I have a huge crush on Jordan Peele, so I rarely miss an episode, anyway.

I think that's going to be the next For Our Consideration piece.

Even the most articulate person has lapses. Nobody's perfect.

Two comments decades apart are an example of him doing this "for decades"? For what it's worth, I was sexually abused when I was fifteen/sixteen, and I think in the case he was describing, it wasn't rape either, so I'm not faulting Maher there. I think you're taking the "tough minded comments" of a comic on tv a…

Unless I'm confusing him with someone else, there's another thread here where he says he really respects Easy and just comes to a different conclusion. So I didn't read his comment as hostile. Though as you aren't responding to that thread, it was somewhat out of place for me to respond to you as I did.

I love the thought-police nomenclature of using "He has a history of __" for "I have a history of accusing him of__"! Who knew we'd time travel back to the days of old Salem again? (Wasn't doing it once for the "communists" already too many times?)

Upvoted though I'm one of those fucking morons who voted third party.

Is he real anti-vaxx, or Jill Stein anti-vaxx (where something you said once was twisted, and no matter your background or stated position, people who don't like you never let it go)?

I just want to be saved smug, faux intellectual A.V. Club commentators. Why would you want to slap anyone? Susan Sarandon is still a hero to me.
