I'm not on board with getting on his ass about his own inclusiveness—I think that's a personal choice for every writer to make. I'm more questioning his use of "for the sake of it" as though that is a bad thing. It's tangential to the article but relevant to the overall discussion of diversity in literature, IMO.

I have a question about this. He says he doesn't want to "do it for the sake of doing it" and I have also been told this is bad—that it comes off as a "token" thing in the story—but I'm kind of wondering why it's bad?

The first half of the episode is super boring but once that Jamie guy showed up I was all in. Can't wait to see the next episode!

Fuck off bro. I'm done here.

Oh, fuck him. And fuck you for suggesting he deserves anything but scorn, derision and getting thrown under a bus.

You're fucking gross and you don't understand the abuse cycle. Get educated, grow some empathy and become a human being and then we can talk.

I hope this comment gets more stars so people can read it. I've been following this story for the past couple of days and wondering whether the whole thing would make any headway with his "fans" and the fact that he doesn't have a lot of fans makes me feel better. The whole thing has been a huge trigger so it's nice…

You're disgusting.

This is the first time in years that I've actively wanted to link someone to goatse. Thank you for giving me back a piece of my childhood.

Girl, bye.

It's a harassment case waiting to happen. Hostile work environment indeed.

Yeah I think the cumulative effect for me is just to click less on articles—

I just saw that, which is what prompted my own comment. Gross.

Do you even go here?
