“If the last few weeks has taught us anything, it’s that we need more women in positions of power, not less,” Nessel says in the above ad as photos of Roy Moore, Charlie Rose, and Donald Trump flash by.

Sean — and I say this with an incredible amount of respect for you as a writer (one of my favorites on the internet), a journalist, and a person — this is legitimately clickbait bullshit. The mountain of qualifiers heaped in the second half of this article practically unwrites the first and proves that point. Except…

That wasn’t Kristen Schaal? That was a damn good impression, looked just like her. And I guess in the back of my mind Schaal showing up for a brief cameo at 30 Rock wasn’t a stretch.

“That boy ain’t right.”

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

That’s a wordwang!

Yeah, not the point. You want to shit on her for what she is doing right now working for her asshole dad, have at it. But It’s laughable that Katie is giving someone shit for their age 14 teenage years. And from reading her mom’s book, of all things.

Charles Harder is also responsible for giving us Kinja. If he hadn’t sued GMG, Univision never would have bought it and the AV Club would still have an active community.

Just remember: not making jokes about Harvey Weinstein is “being cowardly”, but making jokes about him is “too soon”. Welcome to the era of walking on eggshells.

Yeah that definitely a part of it. I just wish the left wasnt responding in kind.

Wow the guy who tells jokes about current events for a living told a joke about current events and now he’s a “disgusting pig”.

I wish we were all so easily amused.

Again, you just really raise the discourse and make your point of view seem so enlightened.

Please tell me how I’m a dumbass shitbird.

the other question is are people reporting those accounts. I had a girl on my friends list that I saw would use “spic” in posts about border walls (I’m Latino). I sent her a couple dms asking her to stop and why it was offensive. She never responded. Next time I saw her use it I reported her. She was blocked from her…

Racism obviously exists, but the logic that a celebrity would maybe attract more “report this post” clicks than random nobodies is pretty sound. I couldn’t find the examples of non-banned hate speech they’re talking about—if any of them are as explicit, and coming from a celebrity of approximately Lil B’s popularity…

You’re right, stoking racial tensions by trying to make something appear different than it is and rile up a base is only a problem when conservatives do it. My mistake! Sorry for aspiring for accuracy!

The spokesperson also adds that the site’s hate speech policies “apply equally to all races” and are “race-neutral.”

Huh, it’s almost like a celebrity with a whole bunch of followers will get more scrutiny than someone’s racist uncle who has 12 friends.
