Now, almost a full week later, Kemper has finally decided to respond to the controversy by posting a statement on Instagram in which she distances herself from “the organization” (she doesn’t name it) and says that she “was old enough” at the time to have learned about it before getting involved.

They got their 2000 comments on the story.  It was a success story. 

It’s a good apology. Mine would probably sound like:

Will we get an apology from Tenreyro for that piece of shit column about this?

yepyepyep, I’m sure Sam feels better having gotten his pound of flesh lol

LOL Of course Barsanti is who they call on to double-down on this bullshit, and of course he gets just as much wrong about the actual truth, how shit unfolded, and Kemper’s apology.

If anything this whole thing has made me more empathetic towards her and more interested in her upcoming projects.

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

They weren’t discovered by the Teen Vogue people, they were discovered two years earlier (and apologized for two years earlier), by non-Asians looking to bring her down a peg for questioning a man who threatened her.

They weren’t “unfair.”

How the hell do you know she will be fine? Do you know her? Did you ask her? Would you be able to stomach this if people brought up some incident from your past and blew it up beyond all sense of proportion just to use it as an excuse to pile upon you? A Japanese reality star recently killed herself after widespread…

“Cancel culture is made up, you guys. Now let me continue to insist that there are some commenters you should ignore forever because of my interpretation of things they’ve said in the past. Have I mentioned lately that cancel culture isn’t real? Because it totally isn’t. PS, cancel this commenter I don’t like.…

If its KKK roots were that prominent then there’s no way Kemper, a Roman Catholic, would be winning anything.

That said, is this an example of cancel culture, or how vulture capitalists have figured out how to wield the internet as outrage-doling Skinner boxes because facts are secondary to keeping content and clicks churning?

It’s somewhat ironic that, in trying to defend cancel culture, you’ve provided an example of one of its more insidious effects on the discourse.

You write for a website (and family of websites) that just tried to paint someone as a racist because in 1999 at age 19 her parents made her go to a ball that had started allowing Black people to join an insufficient amount of time (20 years) prior to that.

If Vince kept Paige on brand after video of her allowing her boyfriend to ejaculate on the NXT Women’s Championship belt, then the thing keeping Chyna out of the Hall of Fame isn’t her doing porn.

It’s very weird and upsetting seeing Waltman, Billy Gunn and others who are so strongly aligned with HHH (real life husband of Stephanie McMahon) who cheated on her with the bosses daughter and threw her aside as a joke. Waltman has a more complicated history with Laurer as he shopped a private sex tape and plied her…

Triple H is a piece of shit. RIP Joanie. 

Didn't know you still worked here...
