“which is an aesthetically fascist tradition dating back to 1928".

I love Naomi Osaka, but, for her own sake, can Jez dial down the extreme hagiography a few notches? 

This article is cringe lol

Where does it say she prefers them equally? It just says she uses both. Which can mean a lot of things.

If your sympathy is so finite, then I highly recommend simply clicking out of the article and ignoring it rather than complaining that a gossip blog does not adhere to your individual standards for what passes as newsworthy.

You dolts only have one joke. 

It’s weird that you think that those same threats wielded by two different types of people have the same impact and inexcusability, bud.

You won’t see me arguing that a rape threat is okay if the person being threatened sucks.

That’s the thing about taking a principled position that a certain form of behavior is categorically or unequivocally wrong or abhorrent: it doesn’t matter what preceded the verboten behavior. This is a one-step analysis, “was a death threat levied?” If yes, then bad.

Death threats are certainly alarming regardless of how they materialize,

There’s nothing in the context of what she said that is saying “THIN=GOOD!” or... any of this stuff you’re reading into it. I mean this in a nice way but I think the solution here is therapy, because you talked about how they weaponize their inner voices but I’d argue that you’ve mostly been weaponizing your own and…

This. This review legit reads like an Osaka press release

That’s the impression I get. She is popular among a portion of Americans, but doesn’t have the status of the Williams sister, Agassi, Federer, ect. Maybe in time, but they act like she is the only important tennis player around. They didn’t even give a shit about who won the French Open or Wimbledon, which had great…

Oh, well that’s because the writer is wrong. When it comes to global elite level sports play and the media aspect of it, the particular things giving Osaka trouble are true everywhere. 

I’m a little confused by the “American sporting complex” in regards to the rest of the article. I know that Osaka has lived in the United States since childhood, but she is a Japanese citizen and the tournaments that she dropped out of are French and English, respectively.

A little bit of the backlash about true crime seems like “OK, let’s shit on more stuff that women like and judge them”

Just an FYI, but homicide rate is a better metric than “leading cause of death”. As a paradoxical as it may seem, homicide *should* be one of the leading causes of death age 20-44, because people age 20-44 should generally not be dying by natural causes which in turn boosts homicide and accident percentages.

okay, himbo is over now

Bridgerton. Is. Not a Period Romance.

Ok, in reverse order:
