Fuck this. I already pay for the Hulu/Disney+/EspnGold pack, Netflix 4K multi-user pack, DC Universe. And I have Xfinity’s top package with bandwidth and channels.

The AVClub reviewers really are, aren’t they.  Anytime the PC babies get used, you know sites like this one will hate the episode citing some nonsense about “Matt and Trey failing to take a firm political stance”, or the episode being “tone deaf”.

This was my take too. I think you get it more than the reviewer.

Spoiler: author is a PC Baby. 

Stephanie is too busy being Woke to be right. 

“if anyone is going to try and discuss what happened with Semenya it should be another Black trans woman, not two cis white guys from Canada”

Iv noticed entertainment writers in this vein will make ridiculous conflations, like comparing Louis CK to mass shooters, or Joe Rogan and Sam Harris with neo nazi waterheads.

Why the hell is the writer saying that the ‘Randy Savage’ look a like is representing Caster Semenya? That’s insane. She’s never identified as male the way the Randy Savage look a like did, and most certainly does not look like Randy Savage. This is clearly an incredibly ham fisted attempt to add racism to the crimes…

I just can’t agree with a lot of your review. While this is an issue South Park maybe should have avoided, I ended up thinking they did a relatively enlightened job based on how I watched the episode. This is going to be TL:DR post, but what the hell:

This was a great episode. (I actually thought AVClub would give it an F so I’m surprised by the C-). Also, who are the two cis white guys from Canada who shouldn’t be offering their opinions on trans issues?  (Trey and Matt are from Colorado).

Recognizing the need for nuance but offering none... Isn’t that the meta-joke? I mean, that does seem to be a pretty good summation of much of our culture and not in only LGBTQ terms but in multiple ways. We all recognize a need to engage in the nuance of these subjects but every discussion boils down to bluntly…

Cagliostro it’s not a Ghibli movie tho, Miyazakis’s studio was created much later.

Lupin, the thirrrrrrrd. Lupin, the THIRRRRRRD. One of my first and still favorite anime series.

A man leaves behind such a legacy never truly dies.

The first time I remember hearing about Lupin III was in the mid-1980s, when I found a copy of Frederik Schodt’s book Manga Manga: The World of Japanese Comics at the local library. While there was just a couple of mentions (and one illustration), I have to say I was intrigued by the little I saw.

This band hardly seems like the most habitual, or even a particularly frequent, offender in that regard. I think vastly more of their material is sincere as opposed to ironic.

I don’t want to overhype it but I kind of love the White Album, and it’s actually kind of mind-boggling to me that they still get as much flak as they do, having put that record out pretty recently. This one and most of their other recent stuff is more uneven, but White for me is solidly within the realm of Green and…

Have you listened to the White Album?

Definitely seems like a good use of your time. 

This comment is the epitome of ignorance.
