I would say that it’s a very solid 3/5, which sounds like an insult, but I kind of miss the heyday of slightly silly TV and this serves up some 2000s-era cheese in places that I realized I kind of missed. For me, it was probably a 3/5 for quality of writing, but a 5/5 for pure cheesy enjoyment.

I’ll say this -- I hated, hated the books for this reason but devoured the show as a perfect piece of beautiful nonsense.

Yeah, as an adaptation it seems really impressive to me. The amount that they did to essentially fix issues I had with the book while giving individual characters their own backstories, arcs, and personalities... it’s not flawless by any means and the end is rushed, but when you consider the source it feels like a…

Not the OP, but I hated the books and loved the show. It seems like most people only like one and not the other.

The vampire yoga is very, very goofy and ultimately pointless.

Just throwing this out there: if you hated the books but read them because you thought it *sounded* like something you’d enjoy, I still really recommend the show. It fixed a lot of the issues I had with the first book, while introducing the characters in a much more natural way, cut out the stupid vampire yoga, and…

Men may have a variety of preferences, but the kind of men who get off on cat-calling women in public typically have a very narrow preference, and that’s for young, thin, traditionally-attractive, femme-looking girls who look easy to scare.

Depends. I can sometimes feel people fetishizing my plumper body but giving me the shame look. Like, great, so I have to deal with you staring at me and know that you feel guilty about it? Fuck off with that.

Yeah, honestly whenever I see men go on about the beauty of youth, what I really feel they’re praising is the beauty of inexperience and the inability to know what good sex and a good relationship should look/feel like.

Given how many people still say that she’s lying, yes.

Yeah, he really went hard for the Nice Guy angle, which is always a red flag.

And ironically, given how open he’s been about personal struggles, it’s all the more confusing that people think it’s completely impossible that he could’ve taken those issues out on someone else.

In short, he’s what we like to call the Alpha Nerd. Better-looking and more socially aware than typical nerds, but nerdy enough to feel like one of them.

I hate to fall into the same old tired trap of accusing people with whom I disagree of being basement-dwelling losers, but I genuinely think people like the after show because it replicates the ability to talk about something with your friends. It’s a way of recreating the concept of the watercooler chat, except with…

This is in no way a defense of him, but I feel like both Wil Wheaton and Seth Green have implied that they just don’t want to get attacked for publicly celebrating his return.

I think if you were to ask the average person who’s even heard of him outside of this scandal, his fame would probably go:

I guess by “worst of” I don’t mean the actual Nazis who are desperate to call anyone a cuck but rather the Nice Guys who think they’re better and are, in their own way, much worse.

I mean, according to some of his employees he was absolutely part of that crowd behind closed doors, even if he lightly condemned it in public.

Honestly, anybody who responds to the allegations that people like Louis CK and Hardwick have faced with a comment along the lines of, “So what — we get in trouble just for FLIRTING now?” are 100% definitely sexual harassers.

Yeah, he was most famous for starting the Nerdist, but he’s long since left the company and now is basically Mr. Aftershow and/or Mr. Panel Host at ComicCon.
