Jezebel already reported on NXIVM last week. The person who runs it is not a woman; it is a man, Keith Raniere.

No, not more like lazy. They were there, chasing the story down, first. They’re the reason we ever knew about it to begin with, and they’re the ones that pushed attention to something they knew to be true without benefit of on-the-record comment to publish.

They do, actually. They got the word out, and thrummed up attention to the point that it finally broke. They never crossed a line doing it, either.

I don’t get the PRAISE for this apology that I am seeing here, there and everywhere on social media. CK issued a good apology because he was already outed, after years of gaslighting the public about these “ridiculous!!!!” claims and maybe blacklisting a woman comedian who said they were true? Fuck all that noise.…

And yet, it turns out, it wasn’t “shitty reporting.”

He waited until his professional livelihood was negatively impacted

Good. Now the creepy amount of AV Club CK defenders can shut the fuck up and listen for once. I’m sure many of them will still backpedal and take no responsiblity for actively being pieces of shit.

As a Creighton graduate, I’m ashamed of Coach McDermott, Jim Berscheidt, & anyone who attempts defends them. It’s revolting how much hard work these people will do in order to justify something so horrifying. Lauren Ward & Meredith Lierk are absolutely right and conducted themselves in professional way — providing…

I am continually impressed by the ability of large institutions to shoot themselves in the dick when handling these situations. Just the photo is an incredible own goal; everything after it is inexplicable.

Merriam-Webster’s definitions actually include both “strengthen” and “to give new assurance of the validity of.” So maybe do yourself a favor and drop this now.

They also owe Tig Notaro an apology for calling her “ungrateful” and shit for daring to speak out about this.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

I’m sorry, you actually believed that the rumor about a famous comedian (with a sitcom!) doing shady shit to women was about.... Doug Stanhope? Famous comedian with sitcom Doug Stanhope?

I want to go back through my responses and respond to all of them with the Times article. But I also don’t want to deal with that nonsense.

WHERE THOSE APOLOGISTS AT? What was that again about Jezebel rumor mongering and dragging a good man down and there haven’t been any “real” accusations?

Well, you see, most of us don’t actually SEE color, so we get really bummed when, after years of seeing our own skin as colorless, we are told we’re white and thus have been part of a system of perpetuated oppression. It makes us have the sadness!

Well without knowing what the assistant alleged or the parameters of Amazon’s internal investigation, allow me to (16 ton weight drops on my head)

We won’t fully know the extent until the Rams get three more wins.

Let’s try flipping that around. If you’re not prosperous, then by extension, you’re not living your life “the right way.” What a load of (rather un-Jesus-like) horseshit.

If Richard Spencer didn’t follow basketball, he’d probably have no qualms including a guy named Kyle O’Quinn.
