They really haven’t. Its true that the original trangressive slant of their humor worked better when we were lambasting regressive social norms, but now that norms have become more progressive it has served as fertilizer for conservative/regressive attitudes. Being transgressive is no longer subversive in a good way.…

“They’re “oooooh you’re not SUPPOSED to mock Jews and Transpeople and gays that way but we GO THERE!!!””

The AVClub is now firmly part of this new bullshit conglomerate which means they’re mandated to spew this sort of garbage. For the click click click click click clicks. Also Katie is a hack.

I think some people seeing this headline are in for a little disappointment if they are going in expecting the show’s message to blast only one side and not point out anything wrong with the cycle of aggression and violence that both sides fed. Those guys are very centrist and no one is safe from ridicule. And in…

Yea. It’s fucked up that a comedian known for some of the most over the line comedy does a joke that’s over the line.

Katie, your continual accusations of CK are bordering on slander here. No one has accused him directly, Kirkman has admitted that she wasn’t talking about him, and I feel like you took Tig’s comments out of context. She was stating that she felt he should address the issues, not that she knew he did them. Now, I’m a…

Holy shit, did you see Armie Hammer’s subtweet? Fucking savage stuff.

“Sincerity” from the guy whose whole schtick is manufactured edginess to try and scare the normies. Seems legit.

Lol @ “dodging questions”. HE JUST GAVE AN ANSWER. YOU PRINTED IT. Do you read your own articles??

There’s been this weird attitude shift over the past decade among left-leaning people. Now it’s all “SHUT IT DOWN” about anything remotely mocking or offensive in a way it wasn’t back when South Park was a darling for attacking Bush or Scientology.

It amazes me that 10 years ago South Park was this liberal darling and now people shit on it for being full of false equivalencies, which is a complete misrepresentation.

The commentariat is becoming more and more ideologically driven (or they were; I don’t know what has survived Kinja). South Park comes from a different ideological background, therefore it is anathema.

It’s also because after exhaustive search after exhaustive search, i come back with the same source, who has repeatedly said she wasn’t talking about CK.

Stanhope confessed to exposing himself to female comedians and masturbating, addressing Jen Kirkman’s initial complaints.

I think a key here is that no one has directly accused CK of anything. Someone heard a rumor about one comedian assaulting two others and someone filled in a blank with Louis and people started running articles like it was the truth. Even in the original Gawker article, the writer says he reached out to the victims…

what the fuck happened to avclub. This layout is making my eyes wanna file sexual allegations

“Dodging an incriminating question, or refusing to give credence to rumors?”

Last year they weren’t “too cool to care” about online harassment, not to mention pretty blatantly saying don’t vote for Trump.

Correction: AV Club continues to raise unsubstantiated allegations at every opportunity, a movie does not.

does a Gawker article and putting words in Jen Kirkman’s mouth really equal “allegations”?
