Something I don’t quite get: You see one off-color joke from one person and you immediately leap to the conclusion that that’s all that person is? That it totally defines their personality and behavior? That it’s appropriate to start calling them “garbage” (in a really transparent effort at performative virtue)?

One of these days I’m going to hunt down Kinja Ernie and hold a wiffle bat to his head until he implements per-user blocking.

The funny thing is, he’s clearly not actually devoid of intellect; he writes well and writes fast and I’ve seen him occasionally post comments where he talks at length about some topic in knowledgable and insightful ways.

No, I can believe it, because you in particular are incredibly disingenuous and performative. You’ve seen me comment on these stories before and you could quite reasonably know this isn’t my first reaction to this story. I’ve said explicitly in the past that I believe Fisher had bad experiences with these people.

I’m always naturally distrustful of any man who refers to himself as a feminist. Don’t mistake my intent, I 100% support equal rights for women. But as a man, I know it’s my job in this situation to take a step back, keep my mouth shut because this cause is not mine. Support where and when I can, but not take up the…

Even as somebody who followed those shows, I can say this: setting three of his shows in or around Los Angeles and not casting even one Mexican-American actor in a core role smacks of effort.

He was beating something.

Thing is, he doesn’t really owe us details - it’s an open secret that Joss Whedon is a piece of crap. We didn’t know the details of him firing Charisma, but it’s been known he did it because she was pregnant for a long time. And his ex-wife wrote an open letter a few years back detailing some of his abuse and…

Yeah, my bad. I meant American combatants. Otherwise I’d be leaving out 6 million Jewish people, 20+ million Russian combatants, and I don’t even know how many other European civilians, etc.

As a side note, I started posting on the AV Club in early 2017 partly as a way to dumb the pain and drown out the constant horrors of the Trump administration. So thank you all for helping me keep my sanity during these past four miserable years, and I hope you all enjoyed today as much as I did.

I’m the daughter of immigrants. I spent every day of Trump’s administration terrified that their green cards would be revoked. Every time I saw a car with a MAGA sticker I shrank into myself because I was afraid I would be the victim of a hate crime. I watched people lose jobs and die during this pandemic. I watched…

I never minded it since snarking on his fuckshit with the AVC crowd helped with the constant onslaught of said fuckshit, but come on, guys, there were more than a few times where you went out of your way to mention Trump.

Besides all the kids who were put in cages, hundreds of whom can’t be reunited with their parents, plus all the Muslim people who couldn’t see any of their relatives for the past four years because they were banned from coming into this country for no other reason than their religion, not to mention the 400,000 people…

I think the kids locked in cages and the people who lost family to Covid found it pretty fucking meaningful. He also undermined our elections and attempted to overthrow the government, which to quote Joe Biden is “A Big Fucking Deal”. I could go on but I’m sick of the fucker. Do not minimize the fucker, shit was not…

Wasting Riz Ahmed is one of Rogue One’s many, many sins. It’s not even clear why he’s there at the final climax. God, what a terrible movie. 

“I’m ignoring your point because it’s wrong.”

That shouldn’t be tough, I’m guessing the “best scientists” among these yahoos are just the guys who haven’t yet blown themselves up making pipe bombs or crystal meth.

Homecoming was the weirdest experience because for me, as a veteran comic book movie watcher, not having the origin story was a relief. For my wife and mother in law, their reaction was “He gets his powers from a suit now? I thought there was a spider involved in that...” Which left me to do a lot of very nerdy…

The only problem with Uncle Ben’s death in Raimi’s S-M is that Peter says Uncle Ben refused to hand over the car and then laments he was the “only person who was doing the right thing.”
