Oh fuck is Ethan trying to play this off as some kind of political cause and not just a nerd tantrum?

As a lifelong Democrat can I just say that the liberal bias in media has grown beyond tiresome. Roughly 50% of the US population is conservative. Conservatism includes a large swath of beliefs and opinions and yet anyone who so much as questions the most progressive views is instantly labeled a MAGA Nazi. Whatever…

Walkable neighborhoods are only great if you aren’t picky with where you go and the climate doesn’t include extreme cold or heat. You can’t fit very many options in walking distance.

There’s so many things in Ragnarok that get me every time.

Any attempt at “wacky gross out humor” which has been SR’s modus operandi in the past would be met with calls for a boycott by Twitter keyboard warriors and progressive blogs across the media landscape.  Why take the chance somebody will feign outrage for viral exposure?

Scott Cawthon has donated hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to St. Judes hospital and other charities. What have people like you done? Just whine and moan because his political leanings offend you and you somehow think that makes you a victim. I’d bet my life he’s done more good for this world than any of the…

And, I would add, less interested in this web site.

Now, almost a full week later, Kemper has finally decided to respond to the controversy by posting a statement on Instagram in which she distances herself from “the organization” (she doesn’t name it) and says that she “was old enough” at the time to have learned about it before getting involved.

I was surprised by the other article and it’s invertebrate analysis of this ‘controversy’; Sam Barsanti is a different story, his idiotic ramblings are just his version of professional blogging. He’s got the editorial talent of a goat.

If anything this whole thing has made me more empathetic towards her and more interested in her upcoming projects.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

“Relatively small bear” is a mama bear with her cubs, and is relatively large enough to seriously fuck up a human.

There’s more black people at Veiled Prophet Ball than work at the AV Club

When I saw this trending on Twitter, I thought, “This is EXACTLY the type of story the current AV Club will write about without doing any work to put it into context.” So, yeah.

You guys have printed a fair amount of extraordinarily weak outrage-seeking shit over the past couple years, but this might take the cake. I rate this clickbait seven “UGH”s out of a possible five.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

“At that age [19], teenagers are mature enough to know what they’re being part of.”

The Atlantic reported in 2014 that the Veiled Prophet Organization barred Black and Jewish people from joining.

So she entered a pageant and/or attended some weird debutante event. Is there any indication that she was aware it had a racist history? It may be hard for some on here to believe, but googling the damn thing wasn’t an option in 1999.

Probably because the Israeli Palestinian conflict cannot be summarized as rich Israel bad, poor Palestinian good.
