A lot of friends and family are helpless to watch someone they care about succumb to addiction. If anything, drugs like naloxone give them hope that their loved ones will not die and hopefully someday can be convinced to go in recovery. It's very easy to say that "idiots should die" when they're not someone you care…

use technicalities all you want - at the very least I saw him commit the crime of strong armed robbery and based on ALL the evidence he also assaulted an officer. I will grant you not making judgement on the cop, but if you claim he's not guilty of strong arm robbery then you're an idiot and no facts are going to…

The cops see it as people perpetuating an overly reported falsehood that has been debunked thoroughly. Let's say you went to college and a bunch of people started carrying a mattress around in solidarity with an ex of yours that has accused you of rape. A reputable organization has employees doing the same. Your…

You can still agree... People can use the word "thug" and not be racist. It is possible, even if Deadspin wants to shame you into believing it's not

It's really a shame that so many in the media (this site included) decided to make Brown (a guilty criminal) the poster boy for police violence. Had they just waited and centered this whole issue on Cleveland where the kid was actually innocent we would have really been able to tackle police brutality. Shame on…

a whole lotta white people were in there burning things too... Maybe when he said thugs, he actually meant, you know, thugs

It's really been the norm for a while, honestly. I've been lurking around here long enough to remember the "too smart to be raped" interview, and the critiques that were lobbied at the individual in question back then were met with outright hostility.

And she's not the only one. I've been a Jezebel reader for a few years and I have NEVER seen an author apologize for anything they've written when they clearly fucked up. Yet they never hesitate to demand other people to apologize for the things they've said or done. It's one of my biggest pet peeves about this site.

It's infuriating. I don't mind different opinions - I doubt there are any readers on this site that share my views on many political/social matters. You can disagree with people but the blatant dishonesty and arrogant attitudes of this author are disgusting.

omg im so embarrassed

You should be. This article is full of disingenuous stanning for a sexual abuser, and instead of looking at the whole issue, you're doubling down and pretending like the one issue you wrote about is the only thing people are losing their shit about. Jesus Christ, who taught you how to do research?

don't you get it? It's not okay to critique Jezebel writers. Everyone else is fair game though.

The journalistic integrity of an author has been called into question, and true to Jezebel ethics and practices, she fires back with middle school sarcasm.

I did not and am not a liar. I was taught early that private parts are private, which is actually pretty damn important so that children can recognize and articulate sexual abuse. My sibling and I were not bathed together past me turning 5, and we were not permitted to share a bed past me turning 10. I haven't seen…

Frankly you should be. In ignoring the actual content of the controversy you fail to add anything of value to the conversation. You'd have been better off simply ignoring the topic all together, but now that you've waded in it's pretty sad to see you do so disingenuously.

This article ignores the actual content of the controversy, though. It literally adds nothing to the conversation.

Everyone has different opinions. Being flippant about sexual abuse and leaving out giant chunks of relevant information IS embarrassing. Your snarky response is gross.

Yep. I thought about that after I posted it. I said yesterday that if this were a man saying these things all hell would break loose. Esp. if he was a man of color. It would be curtains for him, his career and shit...authorities would be looking into how they could possibly charge him.

I wish the website that so frequently discusses white privilege actually acknowledged it in themselves.

Here's the only issue I have. Dunham is getting quite the pass while others (Chris Brown) aren't. I'm not saying CB should get a pass. I address that in a separate Jez article. The narrative for him from him seems to be, "I was young, it happened, I'm still paying for it, Rihanna and I are good, when will the public…
