So Jezebel has decided to support this artist even though his lyrics are misogynistic and he is culturally appropriating an art form from a different racial group.

The joke was lame (lame’?), but does this mean that the entire movie should be dismissed as bigoted?

Good point. I’m just focusing on the award itself and the recipients.

Interesting that most the comments here have little focus on Moira Smith and Yamel Merino, women who sacrificed their lives to save others. But you know what, go on, Jezzies. Make your assumptions about this widower and how he’s just an awful person because he used the wrong pronoun and has no agency tied to his…

I am diabetic. I know I may not understand certain things folks with other disorders/diseases may have, but if I saw a shirt that said “I’m so sweet, I’ll give you diabetes,” I would laugh my fucking ass off.

So, is Jezebel now supporting Ellen Degeneres, who (according to this site) has displayed racist and transphobic behavior? Or maybe her talent and performance in Finding Nemo is making people lighten up about fake outrage?

I remember something that struck me in “Heathers.” The overweight girl gave a sweet smile at the end of the movie, signifying a new friendship. I remember asking a girlfriend “Why are they smiling at each other?” and she responded, “because the fat girl is nice.” I responded, “Just because she’s fat?” And that was one…

Who did you get shit from, if I may ask?

Exactly. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is still doing the right thing in the end.

When you see how “White” has become a pejorative, you can understand why someone like Rachel Dolezal would not want to be White anymore.

So glad you put that up!

I’m a Hillary supporter and will be more than happy to vote for Bernie Sanders in the general election.

It’s sad when you have to add qualifications when saying that a person is attractive.

Kid’s still white. Not good enough for Jezebel.

This song is better taken out of the context of Adele’s past records. Taken in context, it’s like her whole career is about perfecting a message to one guy who wants nothing more to do with her. #lethimgo

I wonder what the hierarchy of forgiveness is on this site. So, Amy Schumer is labeled a racist for a couple of jokes and should keep her trap shut; Eddie Murphy, who had entire sections of his routine dedicated to mocking gays, is harmless.

It’s sad when someone wants to declare that a woman is attractive, and that declaration is feared to be met with scorn, derision, or dismissal. There now have to be numerous qualifiers to state a very very simple opinion lest that opinion gets interpreted as something less than wholesome.

It’s articles like this where the word “white” is considered an insult that give me pause, especially as a minority. After constant exposure where “white” inherently means “plain,” “mainstream,” “uncoordinated,” “establishment,” “entitled,” “ordinary,” “exclusionary,” and any myriad of negative connotations, it’s no…

Fiction =/= fantasy

I like how people on this site who are defending Justin Bieber’s right to privacy have to first qualify their statements by saying that they don’t like him, as if support for one thing automatically means embracing everything about that individual.
