“This kids franchise doesn’t have enough moral ambiguity for me, and these heroes that everyone loves so much need to be brought down a peg or two.”

I will never cease to be amazed at how much damage Rian Johnson did to Star Wars. It’s mind-bogging that just one person could basically derail the biggest franchise in pop culture history. 

Because art is either good or bad, unless a white male produces it, at which point it must be measured according to both its quality and whether that person deserves to make it by virtue of their whiteness. These authors are children.

I’m actually more offended that this is what The AVClub deems funny these days. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. This is not the AVClub I remember from just a couple years ago.

The thing that gets me the most is that 99% of the people that you see online going after anyone and everyone for anything and everything, don't actually think and talk like that in real life.  It is just something they do to make themselves feel like they are right and doing something GOOD.  You would never hear most…

Amazing how most of the replies you got prove your point. I tend to be left leaning but I really hate the ‘’OMG you are SO wrong for SO obvious reasons that all you will get are insults from me’’ attitude that the more extreme members of the left fall into. Most of what Norm said was pretty short sighted but…

Hannah Gadsby is pissed because Norm is funny and she is not.

People don’t want the conversation or debate anymore though.  If you don’t agree, then you are bad and an enemy and must be shunned.  This is across the spectrum.  

Completely agreed.  It is a hard time for Comics with so many people wanting to censor anything controversial they say.  You said it much better than I could have.

well said..well said!!!!!

Excellent comment

Damn. What the fuck has happened to this country? You know what happened when people said or did something stupid and apologized for it? Back not to long ago everyone else just said "cool, whatever" and MOVED ON WITH THEIR LIVES. Now it doesn't matter if it was intentional or unintentional, people want to make them…

People are weak fuck your feelings...”words hurt me “ bullshit has got to go . People need to be held accountable for their own weakness not censor the world. If you cant handle words you will never handle life cry me a fucking river get over yourselves you pussies

Being offensive has sort of been Norm McDonald's thing for the past 30 years.  But we're all offended by everything now.  And this is coming from a female...

It still pisses me off how quickly the discussion about the new design turned into: “You only hate because you are a man and wanna fap to cartoon chicks”, when the real problem was the complete blandness of its anime-appropriation design. And honestly, it looks even worse in motion. I’m tempted to say that the…

Jesus Christ, it is about siding on the side of principle, FFS. But I guess your kind have no principles. Kneeling during football isn’t a free speech issue legally, but you support them, do you not????? The left used to push for protected speech during employment and won that battle in California, where political…

Honestly, I think the idea that more speech is the best remedy for destructive speech could be called a liberal value, but could also apply to the wider liberal project in general. You don’t have to be an American lefty to buy that.

plus there isn’t another Twitter or Facebook to go to. both platforms are monopolies. every time a competitive platform comes along, they are bought out by one or the other.

I’m being sarcastic. There are literally people in this country that think black communities are over-policed because white people hate black people. Couldn’t have anything to do with crime rates in those communities. 

I don’t have a problem with the left or the right. I have a problem the people that created a whole new political group. Well, not really a political group, just a bunch of people who use foul language and don’t have a leg to stand on when confronted, other than spewing more foul language and criticizing the person…
