I think you’re underestimating the ability of fandoms to stick their fingers in their ears at strategically useful moments.

The best explanation I heard was this. So many of these guys are the basement dwelling stereotypes you read about, the ones who can’t get a date. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s because they like comics and SF and fantasy and nerdy things that girls don’t get. Now, with more and more women becoming fans and…
Troll trolling a guy: “You suck.”
I’ve been a dude on the internet since 1992. There is no point in the last 25 years that I’ve experienced anything close to the shit women get.
It infuriates me. I’m involved with comic book fandoms more so than anything else, and good god. Like how can you claim to like characters that fight to protect people and preserve life and still be such a shitty person? How can you claim to love the X-Men while not realizing that YOU WOULD BE A VILLAIN IN THOSE…
I’ve been saying this for years: Fuck fans. You don’t own shit, you didn’t do shit, you’re just a customer. You don’t like the product anymore, go shop somewhere else. You’re not entitled to a goddamn thing.
Nope. Not even close. I am a man who is frequently online and I have never and will never face the kind of harassment women do.
Do you really think that men face as much harassment as women online? Honestly?
Jesus Tapdancing Christ! The women who write the show these fuckheads love so much are getting harassed & doxxed for writing the show these fuckheads love so much. That is android head-exploding levels of irrationality.
I think Vicky actually likes Chidi. Nice bit where she dissed his ‘soul mate’ by just dropping her pizza on the table.
I love that the whole system falls apart so quickly because Michael doesn’t have any of the four humans quite as figured out as he thinks he does. I mean, he can figure out that Tahani will be tormented by a small house but not that setting her on such a quick downward spiral will wreck his plans. And I continue to…
I loved his exasperation with Michael. Like, how is he supposed to know not to use the same excuse over and over?
Plus, the way she keeps obediently popping up whenever anyone says “Janet” continues to be deployed with impeccable comic timing.
I wondered how they would keep steam behind the whole endeavor, and pushing “Real Eleanor” and the evil support team further into the foreground with their own personal angst and contrary goals works really well.
The follow up to the Yogurt line made me laugh
I cackled with glee at Chidi going back to the almond milk as the cause of his eternal damnation.
Absolutely loved Janet explaining to Jason that he couldn’t come back to her house because she lives in a boundless void.
I’m so happy that the show is still delightfully hilarious now that we’re in on the secret. Far from becoming tiresome, the show is now running on pure, high-concept id energy. I love it so much, and I want it to somehow last for at least five years.
This is easily the weirdest post I’ve ever made, but I thought Sean said they were trying out the new butthole SPREADERS.
