Well, AVClub cared enough to write a pointless article, you cared enough to comment …

What

I don't want it to be — it just is — and again, it is disengenous to claim that O'Neal etc would not jump on some dumbass like Scott "Chaz Lamborghini" Baio if he called Guy We Hate a candyass, pansy, limp-wristed, whatever …

Are you saying that William Hughes doesn't shit on random people for no good reason?

:o

Again, a well thought out comment … but does this stand for everyone, or just people that we want to give a pass to because we like them?

I'll grant you this, but it is doubtful you would use this excuse for someone you dislike — even if that dislike is based on superficial terms. So I think that's nonsense.

I'd agree with you IF and ONLY IF this site didn't do exactly what you accuse me of doing — jumping on every single misstep and making a huge deal out of antiquated words.

I'm disappointed by the lack of "light in the loafers" :(

Ah, thank you

Only if you can't dip your shit

When people say "This person doesn't think their shit stinks" … this must produce thestinkiest shits in history.

Explain the cat part, dipshit

That's my exact point. It's an attractive, charming person being homophobic so we give him a pass. It's nonsense. No amount of justification will change that, other than to make people feel ok the next time they savage someone else who does this.

You're wrong and fuck off

It's a Simpsons joke … please read the AVClub Primer; this is next to Dental Plan -> Lisa Needs Braces

Really? Come the fuck on. This word is homophobic by any standard. If Bruce Willis called someone a candyass, the article would be about the homophobic angle.

Absolute bullshit. It's never been "just the opposite of hardass" — it's what straight men call other straight men in a way to say "Geeze you may as well be gay" as is "bitch" as in "Geeze you may as well be a wooo-mannn"

No, Mr JJ Steven, don't come any closer … Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Helps to have good genes, too.
