So, because they’ve been less than ‘woke’ in the past, we shouldn’t acknowledge this forward movement? Or we can only acknowledge it in a dismissive manner?

REALLY well put, Michael. Point 3 is something I’ve been thinking a lot about in this context: like, unless you’re exclusively making bluegrass music, you owe a huge amount of credit to black artists. That’s a damn FACT. So where does cultural appropriation start and stop?

Is flirting a form of cheating? Maybe, it depends, for all of the reasons Monique detailed here.

Wow, what a disingenuous corporate shill you are. Your article was little more more than a sad attempt to sound as hip-with-it and relatable as possible (“I hate advertising AND misogyny, amirite guise?”) while peddling the same trash advertising this place always does... Then someone calls you out and yow feewings…

You can’t put your shit toothpaste back in the shit tube now you realize your childish lashing out is costing you and the site reader loyalty...tsk tsk if only you realized that you should have just yelled “Fuck you” to the cold desolate emptiness of your shitty studio apartment instead of writing it in digital…

Ugh. I actually really enjoyed your article and then saw this.

Strong words from a glorified blogger.

“Fuck you.”

Nothing they said was really wrong.

Did you walk through a sandstorm? Your skin seems a bit thin.

This is not your personal tumblr horror blog, either do not engage with obvious ad hominem bait, or act like a god damn professional when you chose to respond.

That’s pretty unacceptable, dude.

Everything the guy said is correct.

I mean, he has a point. This site is pretty much half promotional ads trying to sell me shit. Trying to paint the AV Club as some bastion of anti commercialism is pretty disingenuous at best.

Alex,

You used words that fit a rhythm of information you learned in college.

You didn’t use them because they made any contextual sense, or represented anything about the reality of this journalistic apparatus.

And you don’t even have the courtesy to feign self-awareness when someone reintroduces journalistic ideals…

Thank You...its really not that bad down here.

Actually they were pretty good friends.

Because it was a tribute to Prince..lol
