Or maybe they know a little more about it than you do. But thanks for your help!

It’s all a performance designed to be self-aggrandising (though, to be fair, so is so much of what we do is performative without realising it). It’s very “look how good my tastes are, aren’t I great?” but couched in a thin veneer of “it’s just my opinion, man...”

I can’t wait for the threads touting those series, so I can swoop in and talk about how uninteresting they are to me.

Goddamn this would kill the DCEU if it wasn’t already dead.

Saying Gawker deserves credit for having its finger on pulse of breaking news is like saying the National Enquirer is the bastion of journalism because they broke the John Edwards mistress story.

Yes, and I would also like to see A.V. Club issue a formal apology for all its positive Louie reviews over the years. You guys knew about the rumours, you did nothing about it.

I’ll admit that I’m a fanboy for Jon, but I really don’t see the bullying - doesn’t he apologies at one point? When he laughs at first, it’s a reference to Jon’s own lack of social media savvy, not at the question.

These people are idiots. Trying to suck all the blood possible from this story while being as sanctimonious as physically possible

“Stewart discredits the source of the accusations (Gawker, “the internet”) and then claims that he’d never heard them at all.”

“Marvel’s still-bizarre decision to mush disparate comic runs into one cohesive aggregate”

Are you fucking kidding me? Uh, Ted Nugent literally threatened to shoot Harry Reid and kill Obama and Clinton. Yeah, this is fucking unfair.

really the old “your criticizing capitalism on a cellphone” routine. when are we going to all collectively move past these inane my first dumbass attempts at an argument 101

This is a dumb formula for an argument: “You shouldn’t use X to complain about Y when X was created by Y.”
You used that formula, and it was dumb. QED.

Can we stop being amazed by corporate Twitters already? Millenials break free of Madison Avenue’s influence, only to be gulled by its stupider, cheaper Internet analogue.

Fuck Off with this idea that dixicrats or especially the Confederacy were ‘the left’ or have any bearing on current day Democratic Party politics. It is a disingenuous point most of the time, and if you’re making it sincerely, it only betrays a child-like understanding of the politics. Like, really just go fuck…

You’re giving the audience way too much credit imo.

Exactly. They even sort of hinted at this in Daredevil season 2. Frank is an idiot with hubris and guns. He judges people without evidence, or very slim circumstantial stuff. He shoots first, asks questions later, and in his very first appearance on the show shot up a goddamn hospital (he claimed no one would get…

You’re giving the audience way too much credit imo. Yes, Breaking Bad’s show runners wanted us to see Walt’s descent into villainy, but to the very end there was a large contingent of fans calling Skyler misogynistic names because she was the sane, rational one.

Again, say what you want about Secret Empire, but it made it clear more what he was because The Punisher fit right in with that fascist regime. He didn’t need to be brainwashed.
