It’s a bit like “Shark attack” right?

Shark not have hands, so Shark mouth is also Shark hand. Human come to Shark house. Shark say hello and shake handmouth. Human see tiny bit of blood and overreact. Shark didn’t attack anybody. Shark just being friendly.

This is how I know “cancel culture” isn’t real:

I’m seeing a lot of “who cares” in the comments...  Does the Internet work differently for other people, or did they also click on this piece?

Do you have much confidence in non-Black men’s ability to meet your expectations? Asking for a friend that looks like eye emojis.

And it is. But still, your point stands!

Also, punk... was kinda calculated. It wasn’t about not caring what “haters” think about you, it involved a lot of actively antagonistic behavior designed to alienate people. Creating haters isn’t the same thing as pretending that haters materialized out of nowhere while you were just minding your own business... It’s…

In re:

I support all of this. I’m only chiming in to say that the “why don’t you try being a writer then” argument makes sense to me depending on the criticism it is responding to. It’s a million times easier to have an opinion on someone else’s creative effort than it is to subject yourself to that criticism. I think people…

I thought that movie was a bit of a turd, but I enjoyed the Mandarin fakeout...

Y’all don’t understand the government but you need cash now...

Who cares what you want? She has the gavel. You have a burner account.

A historic day for the “Loud and Wrong” coalition online! This L was hard-earned, but y’all get to take it today! And again on Friday when the bill is signed! And all the time in between, when historians are on TV saying that this is the most sweeping, progressive piece of legislation in three generations! Should be a…

As predicted, the bill passed. You wanna chime back in and tell me that it doesn’t matter because Biden didn’t powerwalk to the Capitol, rip it out of Pelosi’s hands and sign it? You wanna admit that, in your rage about basic math, you completely missed the radical, sweeping, massively impactful changes to the child…

And everything I just typed is before we get to the update to this same piece, which quotes Alexi McCammond saying the following:

I’m... let’s just charitably say “not in Teen Vogue’s demographic,” so I’m going to let you have all the runway you need to to decide to what standard the editor of Teen Vogue should be held. I’m going to hold YOU to the standard I was holding you to in my original response:

You used quotation marks to attribute words…

No, no, no...

“Sorry if I hurt anyone with my insensitive tweets” is a non-apology. At that point, you’re only apologizing because because people have said they’re hurt, but you’re still behaving as if you’re not sure they actually are. All actual apologies are ultimately “Sorry to” someone. And in the case of…

I can’t wait until this movie is finally available (for truesies) so that all of the people who have all of the opinions about it, and the director, and the process around its release, and the outpouring of - whatever - to get it finished and released can subside and we can go back to people’s ridiculous opinions…

Sometimes it’s easier to just copy and paste and move on:

“Let’s start with the obvious: We weren’t even talking about the minimum wage increase, so push against the goalposts though you may, that one isn’t even part of this conversation.”

TL;DR: The vast majority of us are out here hoping to get vaccinated. You’re the assholes with two shots screaming “BUT WHEN CAN I TRAVEL?!?!?!” You’re voluntarily casting yourself as Meghan McCain in this situation. And in roughly 48 hours, the bill will be passed and signed, and you’re still not going to recognize…

Ahhh... We’re checking in? Good!

Let’s start with the obvious: We weren’t even talking about the minimum wage increase, so push against the goalposts though you may, that one isn’t even part of this conversation. (For the record, not only do I support the minimum wage increase, I support indexing it to the poverty rate…
