Well, we’re just a bunch of resentful little shits, aren’t we? Pretending the show was never good for the sake of outrage is the epitome of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Things you love don’t disappear because of context.

Circular firing squad, commence fire.

I think I’d feel more comfortable if Felice León picked up this story. I know Gina Rodriguez got famous playing Mexicans and just an “in general” Latina on TV but she’s actually an Afro-Latina of Puerto Rican origin. Should she be reminding people of her roots more often? Did she get too good at playing a…

Not trying to troll here, but nobody seems to be answering this question and I am genuinely curious as to the nuances of this conversation. In the first article about this, it was noted that he father is Afro-Latino, making her Afro-Latina. Why is she not allowed to use the word?

It just floors me that The Root chooses to elevate knucklehead nonsense like this. 

I think it’s bullshit to have to go above and beyond to apologize for singing a song lyric in the context of a song which is 100% not racist....I don’t care what the lyric is....that’s how it was written, that’s how it’s sung. 

Black people still trippin b/c non-black people have the audacity to sing a song as it’s written? Jesus, this is dumb.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...

Ditto, the Arbiters at the AV club have dictated that the film is a disaster, therefore the sycophants mimic their influencers.

it’s perfectly fine and occasionally great, as usual it’s the echo chamber making it seem like the opinions are way more negative than they actually are

It’s really not.  Watched it with 2 other people and we loved the movie.

I watched the film yesterday and I loved it.  So did the 2 people I watched it with.  I watched the first film the night before.  It was also very funny and had me laughing.  I think both films balanced the horror and comedy just fine.  The opening of Chapter 2 was terrifying.  I also thought the ending to this film…

Are we allowed to praise Warren on Splinter now? I thought the official editorial stance is that her dna test kerfuffle was unforgivable and therefore Bernie was the only chosen one... 

Per Quinnipiac:

I watched 33 out of 40 episodes of Love Island’s second season (UK, of course, I have taste).

At least it’s not another update on who ate the Popeyes sandwich.

Yes. 

So this is what passes for content these days, is it?

Maybe just skip the Irishman and binge some more reality TV. Or just hit up a few Tik Toks. Better yet, just sit in a rocking chair and flick a flashlight on and off a few times against the wall. Works for my grandma.

Is it me or do the other characters look like they are based on actors too? Obviously Arnold for Terminator. Thinking Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa for Shang Tsung, Wes Studi for Nightwolf and Cameron Monaghan as Joker. Probably not a reach to assume Sindel is based on someone too but can’t place the face. And because…
