It’s like watching the Care Bears sing a song about bringing people together, then waterboard someone, then sing another song about friendship, without the tone of the show ever varying. 

CK started to gross me out when it seemed like his self deprecation never resulted in personal growth. Everyone fucks up and it’s ok to admit that and make jokes, but eventually you start to realize this shit is a pattern and we’re not laughing at fuck ups we’re laughing at a guy admitting he’s shitty and not doing…

“Maybe the next time someone expresses disappointment over a person’s comedic performance, we don’t suddenly dismiss it as being overly-sensitive or too PC.”

Exactly. It’s the third-party method of “I wasn’t being an asshole, you just don’t have a sense of humor [when I said those assholish things].”  

I agree- something about him has always seemed off to me. Even when I found myself laughing at one of his jokes, I would somehow feel gross because of it. I’m beginning to see that this “seems off” thing is common among men who use feminism as a smokescreen for their abusive behavior.

I came here to post this. It’s like he mixed up the separates on two blue suits.

Every sentence of this article was a delight to read. The way it was written not the subject so much.

From WaPo:

To be fair, we’ve had this level of corruption before. It was just in the era of robber barons in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Just like child rape, there is only one valid defense to having sex with someone in police custody -

You’d be surprised at the number of rapists who don’t actually think they raped someone, even after being told or arrested. All these white rich frat boy types have been told all their lives that they can have whatever they want, grow to believe that includes sex.

Looks like textbook fucking harassment to me. No slip on that goddamn slope, not at all.

Hmmm it’s like he didn’t know his brother sexually harassed women because he didn’t know that kind of behavior was sexual harassment.

So we’ve got a man who thought The Handmaid’s Tale is a utopian novel and one who might start World War 3 because someone made fun of his hair on Twitter.

Oh, I know! And her VP was scary Tim Kaine. All the guy wanted to do was speak Spanish and play the harmonica, not, you know, hang all the gay people. Glad we narrowly escaped that! /s

Yes! Not coincidentally, a lot of earlygoing fans seem to have fallen off the show as it shifted decisively into Don is pathetic territory.

Part of the genius of Mad Men was that it initially depicted Don’s womanizing as something glamorous and enviable, then over time began to depict that behavior as isolating and pathetic. You initially see Don as the ultimate capitalistic/patriarchal power fantasy, but over time come to see him as a desperate, hollow…

Probably because they’re a lot closer to eating cold beans out of a can than being super-genius industrialist billionaires.

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…

No. I think he meant Utica, NY.
