Criticism is warranted but the level of venom in some of the responses (not talking about Felice Leon here btw) was excessive. 

Imagine getting big mad like this to defend Kayleigh McBullshit’s ass.

“Now, back to LMM, his Disney-fied self can get forgotten real quickly, just as quickly as he was called a genius not so long ago.”

“ tell me you think that asking for forgiveness is sufficient to correct the problem.”

The criticism is valid but my response when I read Felice’s response was “girl really?”

“Haters will hate!”

Good question, especially given the significance of the film to the community, I was definitely surprised that they didn’t find a Hispanic / Latinx director.

But would we really be surprised if somebody wrote something about why they could not find a Latinx director for a movie that is definitely a moment for the community?

My apologies, let me re-write that

Colorism is definitely an issue worth discussing but it was kinda weird to see the title next to the movie poster with a prominently-featured Black actor.

I think there is an interesting discussion to be had about what he’s apparently trying to do here (Haven’t watched it yet). Is he mocking or agreeing? The cross imagery makes me thing it’s more of the former but...tbd

Not an airport, no need to announce your departure folks.

Smart move to basically be the one owning the narrative rather than reacting to a Twitter callout from randoms.

“If Manchin can’t be successfully primaried (and of course, for that candidate to get a win), then Democrats need several more Senate seats “

I’m sure the quality of the show will remain the same after he leaves. And by that i mean it will continue to be a terrible show but hopefully a better experience for people of color that decide to subject themselves to this.

What was the issue exactly? I’d say the response was probably as over the top as the initial “hot take” and the fact that they embellished the fuck out of the story

Good breakdown of the shitty passive aggressiveness of that sentence

Yep, that seems more like an apology than whatever Chrissy Teigen posted (for a pretty fucked up thing she did vs what Ellie Kemper did)
