I’ve been in the grays since 2009, so who knows what the grays stand for? I wish Kinja or Jezebel never had a gray system. I was told I had to comment way more to get out of the grays and then I read comments that are vile and racist and somehow they’ve surpassed the greys?

I’ve never yelled at Kara. The most recent time I was ungreyed, I was stuck back in the greys within minutes. What irritates me is that the greys were designed to keep rape gifs out, not meant to be a cudgel to suppress comments, which is what the system has become.

Yep, you and me both. Sometimes a nice person will rescue a comment or two, but mostly I’m a ghost.

I have no idea how one even gets out of the greys at this point.

The whole grey thing is why I don’t comment here that much anymore. ESPECIALLY the smug “not grey” commentators who like to claim superiority. If I want to deal with cliquey high school bullshit, I talk to my teen about his day.

In that vein, what’s it take to get out of the greys, anyway? I like to think I bring (at least moderately) incisive/funny comments (and lots of Parks and Rec gifs) - but no dice. Am I to die alone and unloved, perpetually waiting? Kinja is giving me a complex.

Thank you—-a grey.

aw heck.

Constance Wu is a badass. Doing the thing your conscience tells you is right even if it could hurt you (career-wise, in this case) is honorable and beautiful and I am really impressed by her speaking up. I also agree with her re: Casey Affleck. What a turd.

This, exactly. I’m a gay white male, am I expected to get all of “my white people” organized? I had debates and exchanges of ideas with family members, people at work, friends. Some of them voted for Hillary, some could care less, and others are diehard republicans (work, especially). Using facts and reason did not…

I don’t fully support the picture.

Organize my people? As though as a white woman, all other white women are my people? Not only is that statement is not in any way helpful to the progressive cause (as white women are not given magical powers to convince the worst of white society to change their minds), it also serves to create a false division…

April 15th is a Saturday this year. I’d love to have protests across the country demanding release.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Guys, I can’t unsee this

Not like the drunk girl who’s been sobbing in the bathroom.

My favorite thing about this election is that the same people who always bitched that Obama was soft on Putin are now enthusiastically supporting a guy who is openly sucking his dick. Excuse my language.

“So let’s talk about the time you investigated the corrupt Blatter.”
“Actually, if you read the report, it wasn’t corruption. He actually paid them to do that.”
