I don’t think Amy “gets a free pass” when she’s consistently called out on things that are patently un-fucking-cool - the very fact that this is being discussed now is indicative of that. I think the reason why she garners a lot of praise is that she also has a lot to say that resonates with a lot of people,…

This black girl says gun control and continued funding of Planned Parenthood are not just White Feminist™ issues. Back it all the way up. Find something else to peg your criticisms of Amy Schumer to. There’s plenty.

Over-worked, under paid, under appreciated and surrounded by shitty kids? Yes give that person a firearm.

I can’t take “womanist” or “humanist” or any of that parsing terms to minutely describe where you're political ideals lie seriously. It detracts from the greater conversation and puts the focus on language. It keeps people who agree with each other fighting over the details instead of rallying support together. It's…

She’s also popular with some Black feminists/Womanists as well. My circle of friends will often forward her sketches around and I saw Trainwreck with a couple of my BF/Womanist friends (we liked it well enough, it was OK, not great).

I’m a boring, standard issue white dude, but I like her because she’s funny.

I dislike Amy Schumer for the same reasons I dislike myself. So I’m a huge fan.

“You don’t get to touch my boss.” This man is getting a raise. A $0.35/hr raise.

Umm, seriously? Please read my comment again and show me a single part that would lead you to think I’m a conservative lap dog.

Please, teachers can’t afford vests.

Yes, but not all sex workers are trafficked.

Unfortunately, the way this case is being handled makes it look like sex trafficking is a workers are legitimate business human beings.

Let’s assume I know how to construct a study, I know the difference between correlation and causation, and I am a neutral party without a horse in this fight. I am not pulling any sort of shit, gun control related or not. I was trying to make a short-ish post to point out the problems with the statement in the…

That’s not actually all that rare on Deadspin (and very common on io9). I’ll debate all day long on these sites but you couldn’t pay me to post on Gawker proper. I wouldn’t type a comment there with Bea Arthur’s dick.

What Caitlin Goldblatt has omitted from her narrative are three key points:

1) The “well-appointed” elementary school that was slated for closure, Langston Hughes, was hardly closed by the Baltimore City School Board - a mixed-race group chaired by a black man http://www.baltimorecityschools.org/Page/24788 - due to…

When I was a kid, I managed to pop a semi-sustained wheelie on my bike once and it freaked me out so much that I managed to do it that I fell off.

I like Kirsten Dunst, but I also do not. Anyone else feel that way?

...Clearly you haven’t been reading about anything she’s been doing lately for LGBTQ rights, as well as identifying herself as gender queer and pansexual...

No kidding. The comment I originally posted wasn’t even specific to Kara or Jia, but to a trend in Jez articles lately. But rather than address the issue at hand, they are turning it into something personal and making these extremely juvenile comments (“I don’t care!” FOOTSTOMP!). It is embarrassingly unprofessional,…
