These are shitty PB&J bao, right?

Its not just this culture. Korean (woman-centric) TV is chock full of spunky tom-boy blue jean wearing heroines. Her female nemesis is invariably powdered and scented and wearing tight skirts & spike high heels.

In & Out is a romantic comedy?

My apologies if this has already been brought up in these columns, but I’ve always felt that There’s Something about Mary was that start of the end for Rom-Coms. Not because it was bad, I actually love the movie, but rather that it felt like Hollywood drew all the wrong conclusions about what made it so good and…

You know what fascinates me? Romcoms, a genre aimed entirely at women, frequently have the trope that in order for the protagonist to be rootable, she has to be a “tomboy” and actively hate things our culture codes as girly. That’s weird, right? That so many women have that much internalised misogyny, that the most…

Wait, what? How is Veronica Mars coming back? Kristen Bell is starring in another show for one thing.

It’s kind of odd that with most things in life, not accepting garbage quality is something most people try to do. Except when it comes to food, where apparently you get criticized for recognizing shit for what it is.

Can’t argue against that either. But I still won’t eat at McDonald’s or wherever it is you eat.

HI EVERYONE I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I’M CLASSY AND REFINED AND I NEVER EAT GROSS FAST FOOD LIKE A TACKY POOR PERSON OK JUST MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF HOW SOPHISTICATED AND COOL I AM BYE. 

They’re really milking this, aren’t they? It’s going to be

And he played Ben Chapman. Not a murderer, but evil. And if you’re ordering a pitcher to throw fastballs at someone’s head, there’s something messed up about you. 

In addition to being desperate for “nerd-cred,” I also saw him as the fat loser who got in shape and made some money and became motivated by showing up his high school bullies.

OMG woody allen v chris hardwick. how do you choose

Shouldn’t Trump be included on this list? Not even being snarky. If the Kardashians and Elon Musk and Woody Allen are on here... Trump was a reality TV star before and now his followers have to be described as “fans” more than supporters.

When I saw the list and noticed Joe Rogan on it but no Peterson, I knew the list was a sham. Peterson or Sam Harris are infinitely more obnoxious, with far louder fanbases than Rogan. I understand he has a right-ish wing podcast (don’t listen to it), but I’ve not seen many Rogan fanboys making the internet a shitty…

Who was a legit fan of Hardwick even before the troubles? His whole thing is to glom onto other things people like so that they pay attention to him by accident.

Also, Chris Hardwick doesn’t have much of a fan base. Most people find him genuinely annoying. It doesn’t make you part of his fan base to understand that an ex-girlfriend tried to railroad him. But I guess you need a “WOKE” category when you do this stuff.

Also, Rick and Morty has to win, right? That is the quintessential annoying fan base. If nothing else, the Szechuan Sauce debacle should guarantee them a spot in the final round. 

My officemate and another co-worker sit in my office and spend a couple hours a week talking about the Bachelor/ette every goddamn week like they’re gossiping about people they actually know in real life, and it’s fucking annoying, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a fandom, and if it is, it isn’t toxic. Just inane.

Supernatural? Joe Rogan?
