buoyed by the praise that finally women were being allowed to play crass, impolitic characters.

Back in 2004, when blogs were still a thing that people did, I had a blog. One night I wrote a long-ish entry on why I thought Rodney Dangerfield was the only modern comedian on par with Chaplin and Keaton. When I finished writing it, for the hell of it I went to Rodney’s web site and sent him a link to the post. (To…

I feel compelled to point out how absurd it is to say “Latinx.” I get the push for inclusiveness, but Romantic languages are gendered. Nearly everything has a gender. Going in and changing words in a way that does not match the existing linguistic structures seems far more offensive than saying Latino/Latina.

Yeah, when you put it that way, you still sound like a giant bag of shit.

I think Kanye’s career output has been fantastic, but in terms of the bet outlined here, he’d be someone I’d specifically avoid choosing because of his mercurial nature. I’d be afraid of the possibility of committing to four straight albums of Dadaist anti-art.

Hold on, you’re saying this is trash? A Mark Millar based film?

Bonus 13th question: who held back the electric car?

You’re not remembering correctly. You can read exactly what she said right here: https://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/250286/jen-kirkman-louis-ck-gross-behavior-podcast/

Does every article about Seinfeld have to reference how he said college kids are too sensitive these days? Or about how he doesn’t really care to pander politically to anyone?

But what will the AV Club run clickbait headlines about now?!

Referencing a Gawker blind item is like reprinting something scribbled on a bathroom stall and saying, “See? People are talking about this.” It is very irresponsible to hold a man’s reputation hostage until he denies (to your liking) unsourced rumors that don’t even mention him by name.

Kirkman’s been weird about the whole thing for a while. She was never the source of the masturbation rumors, she just said there was a married comedian who hit on her and made her feel uncomfortable and, when pushed for clarification, said “it’s pretty obvious who I was talking about” but also insisted that she…

Cradling balls isn’t sexist. Everybody likes to cradle balls.

almost every article published about CK re: these rumors since the Kinja change was her byline and they all shared a common thread of treating every blind thing as truth, and for an article “defending” him, she sure strongly insinuates that she doesn’t buy it with her commentary on the Gawker bullshit (which is my…

“I thought people would understand the nuance of what I was saying, and they didn’t”

She’s been with the AV Club forever, and her articles always contained a shred of outrage, but ever since the kinjapocalypse she’s turned the outrage up to eleven.

Wasn’t this established... years ago? Like, almost immediately after the story became a thing? To the point where every time it comes up here or Jezebel it seemed like the authors were purposely ignoring Kirkman’s clarification just to bait a reaction?

Wow, an article not bashing Louie CK based on entirely made up rumors, amazing!

[Note: Jezebel, like The A.V. Club, is soon to be jettisoned as a legal liability by Univision Communications.]
