Oh, no question! I’m mainly saying that there’s no way that any media organization out there is conducting itself so perfectly that they can afford to piss off a man with unlimited resources to fund one lawsuit after another against them until he drags them into bankruptcy. Gawker wasn’t doing anything any worse than…

jesus do we need a big red no gimmick commenter who can just show up with a big red no avatar and post the word NO.

For all its many, MANY faults, at least you can downvote utter bullshit on Reddit. Here, you can... uh... not click the little star thing?

Yeah he should have just flashed his “women are bitches because they won’t sleep with me” badge.

Even in their farewell article, Gawker basically admitted that their business model hinged on being able to grossly violate the privacy of minor celebrities for a profit. And by upsetting that math, Peter Thiel became history’s greatest monster.

The two things that did in Gawker were 1) outing a private citizen, and…

What’s your favorite brand of khaki pants, bruh?

Her wording is a little cumbersome but it sounds to me like she’s trying to say “he didn’t do anything but me, I can’t speak for other people” with he added caveat that she’d take the word of other women coming out against Louis or anyone else really.

NOT only that but they’ve never reported on Doug Stanhope straight admitting to doing this.

[Note: Jezebel, like The A.V. Club, is soon to be jettisoned as a legal liability by Univision Communications.]

So, I’m completely disheartened about the decline of the commentary on this site. Especially after the dearth of participants last night. No amount of Kinda updating will fix the AV Club.  

Is there a reason why there are so few comments nowadays? Other than the obvious, that people just aren’t making them. I mean I know a lot of people were threatening to flounce, but I didn’t think that many would have gone through with it. I went into the comments of last night’s episode of The Deuce about 30 minutes…

Juggalos are way better than trump supporters.

Juggalos seem to be pretty consistently anti-racist, and hard core Trump fans seem to be pretty consistently racist. Both groups are poor, uneducated, tacky, and proud of it.

Well the group is so popular because of the fans more so than the music. When they chant things like family, they legitimately mean it. I’ve never been to one of their bigger shows but I have worked at a few venues where they played. Every time ICP played, the fans always made sure that the event staff was offered…

That “Dragnets — How do they work” sign is inspired.

I think if he’s shown himself to be actually apologetic, doesn’t repeat the behavior, and made proper amends to his victim, he should be allowed to work wherever they’ll take him. So often we see people who are unrepentant and aren’t really sorry. This guy admitted the allegations were true and apologized publicly.…

Dude is gonna commit suicide and the Internet Righteous are gonna crow.

Birth Movies Death still uses Disqus.

Wow, these instructions illustrate just how difficult it is to use Kinja:

Well, not in terms of commenting anyway. You still remain on, at best, probationary status in High School Cool Kid terms.
