That Buzzfeed article stating there there were only 27 Black characters on Friends was just pure clickbait. I haven’t watched the show in years, and can think of at least 4 Black actors who had roles that are not listed in the article — Alaina Reed Hall (227) and Richard Grant (Deadwood) are two actors off the top of…

The hyperbole these days is driving me crazy. And god forbid you point it out. I wish people would stop labeling every difficult situation as "trauma" because when everything is a trauma, nothing is 

He was literally asked in an interview. Why do you do this?

Ugh I used to be excited for this project, but then I did research into the real HH Holmes and yeah no. Important to note Devil in the White City is a novel and not historical, the real Holmes actually never operated the Murder Castle. It was never officially opened, it was an extension of his true self, which was…

So WB is obligated to release it just because it stars a woman of colour? No, they’re not. And the people who made the movie still got paid for their work.

“As directors, it is critical that our work be shown to audiences”

N.E.R.D. has an entire song called “Spaz”. I don’t believe the intent is to punch down at disabled people when NERD, Lizzo, Beyonce, or anyone else use it in a fun song context. Trump convulsing on stage is an example of an obvious insult to the disabled. Is the website Twitch offensive to people with Tourette’s? 

I watched both a few weeks ago and enjoyed them immensity

If the title of this article was “Hulu’s ‘Not Okay’ Shows Us Everything That’s Not OK With Black Women”, everyone would be apoplectic.

To add, that same Variety report explains that partial reasoning for them shelving the movie was that they can now write it off on taxes, which is the most financially viable option for them.

There’s a writer for “Grey’s Anatomy” who was recently exposed as being the poster child for this sort of activity. For years she claimed to be a cancer survivor, and even got her job on the show by leveraging sympathy for her condition — she never had cancer. She said she was abused by her brother — there’s no…

Or, you know, it sucked, since women and minorities are human, have their own agency, and are capable of failure for reasons having nothing to do with historical prejudices.

They are absolutely tripping over themselves to be both victim and oppressor.

Welcome Gawker Gizmodo Media Group. A lot of these bloggers jobs is to find something to be irrationally offended by. Really the only ones who (kinda) avoid this are Jalopnik and Gizmodo itself.

As for this piece, it certainly feels like reaching for something that isn’t there

Yes. This was all done because of racism. You’re totally right.

It almost feels like from reading this piece, that the writer has forgotten that it was a scripted movie, not a real life person or sequence of events.

Lmao this is quite a reach, especially at a time when major corporations are trying harder than ever to have the vaneer of progressivism

Googled author’s name. First hit was her personal website. This is the first line of her bio:

What a bizarre interpretation of this movie. I watched it over the weekend, and all I saw was a young woman who felt invisible and unspecial, and made a stupid mistake which led to a series of poor decisions. She was genuinely annoying and unlikable, but there was nothing presented about “white entitlement” or…

Read this whole vapid opinion piece seeking the possible relevance of the race of the character. Left disappointed. 0/10 would not read your by-line again, Ms/Mr. Banting.
