Reading these articles and trying to find their inspiration is as fun as reading the outraged responses of people who don’t get the bit. Brava, Cannibal Witch. Keep up the good work.

You don’t get it, though. You critiqued it as a satire on feminism in general, when it’s actually attacking a short-sighted flimsy application of “feminism”, not just in that Post article but any time it’s suggested we celebrate “strong women” like Gina Haspel and Megan Kelly for getting ahead in a man’s world while…

Why, though? They provide the context in the post. It’s clear what this is making fun of-beyond the fact that literally every Cannibal Witch post is a specific callout of some other idiotic thinkpiece. I’m struggling to see why this specific one is a Jezebel problem and not a you problem.

Right? And what blogger/journalist/English or Communications Major hasn’t heard of A Modest Proposal? Not the right audience for that lecture, especially since Cannibal Witch is almost certainly riffing off of Swift.

I think the issue is seeing it as a satire of feminism generally, instead of specifically being a satire of Alyssa Rosenberg’s editorial in the Washington Post which there is a link to in the middle of the article. 

I read this not as satire of feminism but as satire of the Rosenberg Washington Post piece—that excusing an abhorrent position (child eating or anti-LGBTQ “morality clauses” in an employment contract) by saying “hey, but it’s great that a woman is doing something modern and non-traditional!” is ridiculous.

Like, if they have mics under their masks, they’d sound like they had mics under their masks, right? Something fishy is going down.

I know virtually nothing about equipment but I thought the singing through a mask to also be pretty ridiculous. Even if the microphone worked through it, there would be a weird echo or distortion from the mask. I’m going with pre-recorded since they don’t even have to worry about lipsyncing.

that’s way too time consuming for me, but I appreciate the “if it doesn’t spark joy, it’s gotta go” mentality. You know, like Steve King. he doesn’t spark joy either, so he’s gotta go.

He didn't forget those things; he celebrates them.

Maybe she was being sarcastic?

as actress Cameron Diaz puts it, “When a director shows you his penis the first time you meet him, you’ve got to recognize the creative genius.”

Old white dude conveniently forgets about centuries of chattel slavery based on race; lynching; systemic and institutional racism; imperialist expansion, domination, exploitation, and decimation of non-European nations; the Holocaust (along with various other genocides and pogroms), and: denigratiion, demonization,…

teacher here.... you’re um, you’re not wrong. We (collectively) are trying to do a better job going forward and I personally do not shy away from the dirty stuff because it is so very important.

I mean, not to mention that this country was explicitly built using the land we stole from American Indian folks, and using the labor of Black slaves. You don’t get the freedom to, like, experiment with light bulb filaments if you have to go out and till the land for sustenance.

I missed The Green Book in theaters initially and was disappointed because I really like Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. Now it’s back, but I’m not sure I want to see it. Apparently the family of Don Shirley really object to the way he was portrayed. He wasn’t estranged from them as the film suggested. He had…

Hmm, only white folks have made contributions? LOL this guy...apparently he doesn’t know about traffic lights, Carver’s contributions to agriculture, NUMBERS!!!!—I mean, seriously, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...—yoga, spices, silk, Jesus Christ, Idris Elba, I can go on and on...

Lindsay did not listen to anything that girl said. She made up her own story for her in her head and just went with it. People not listening when I’m being clear is a huge pet peeve of mine. That conversation was so uncomfortable to watch. Does Lindsay ever interact with real people because that is not how human conve…

Thank you. No one ever says this. The biggest problem I have with KJ Apa (and this bothers me just as much watching him on the show as it does seeing him on a red carpet) are those eyebrows. If you want to dye his hair some nightmare funhouse clown color, fine, but address the brows to give it some credibility. Don’t…

It’s now the conspiracy theory party. Full on transition. A few years ago, we used to laugh at Alex Jones and condemn his stupid thoughts. Now those same thoughts are on Fox News and being repeated by Senators and House members. It’s legit frightening how stupid a large portion of our country is.
