“Guys, I’m super gay. Like I’ve been on Grindr for the whole dinner.”

Lol, he appointed Ajit Pai for this express purpose.

You’re the one making claims that Hollywood is extraordinarily predatory, so the burden of proof falls on you. From my perspective, you’re the one who is an apologist scapegoating asshole. Trying to deflect attention away from the rest of the country towards Hollywood is a blatant attempt to downplay what is happening…

While I was at Columbia I used to pray that one of the Koch brothers would run me over (non-lethally, usually, when I wasn’t suicidal) so I could pay everything off.

My comment wasn’t about any of that. I was critiquing your lack of empathy and imagination and supposed inability to realize *why* what he did was shitty. I’m all for forgiveness, and if Al can make amends I would rather him stick around because I think he’s great otherwise.

No, I didn’t misread your statement. Your statement was just wrong-headed and stupid. You need to own it.

Newsflash, rape and sexual harassment *do* actually happen everywhere! I didn’t see that line as trying to minimize the problem, but rather draw people’s attention to what may be happening nearby, because the common human impulse is to say, ‘oh that only happens with those predators in Hollywood, never in my…

I still question why you felt the need to even say that, though.

Because I feel like 1) it’s some sort of attack on Sarah, 2) gender-essentialist. It borders on trans-phobia and misogyny in different ways to suggest that she’s ‘cross-dressing’.

Evil always has bad taste. See Trump Tower.

Well, they’re the stupidest people, so it fits.

Stop putting yourself in his position, and imagine the woman was your sister or your mother. How would you feel about that? Or, if you yourself were a woman, though that might be too much for you.

If she accepts his apology, and he’s sincere, then I will too. I’m just so...disappointed. I respected him, and that respect has been tarnished.

I love her response. It captures perfectly my feelings re: Franken. I do believe forgiveness and repentance are possible...but first there has to be the reckoning. And always, the victims should come first.

The fuck is ‘male costume’? I take issue with that. Everything else you said I’m on board with.

My new prayer is that the elephants trample his entire fucking family and shit on their corpses.

Why? Just fucking why? Save the money and have a way better eco-tourist vacation instead of contributing to a corrupt system and extinction. I can’t understand these people at all, and that’s saying something because usually I’m almost too empathetic.

PLASTIC SURGERY FOR MEN! HAIR TRANSPLANTS! LIPO! JESUS CHRIST USE YOUR MONEY TO STOP BEING QUITE AS HIDEOUSLY UGLY! FUCK

Jesus H Fucking Christ. What the hell is wrong with people? This isn’t the 19th century! You are not a Victorian explorer! This is not cool! Or good! Those animals are basically extinct already! No one will think you are a man for shooting a defenseless creature! That elephant murder trophy will not get you any pussy…

Marry your partner in a personal ceremony and say fuck you to the Man!
