I couldn’t get more than 15 minutes into the first episode.

Yes, but queer culture isn’t synonymous with furries.

Color me shocked that Hughes didn’t get out the CANCELLED stamp for a movie with a character named Screenslaver.

Why do rational people need these ideas hammered into them by a pop culture blog desperately trying to salvage its waning relevance? Or did I answer my own question?

Great job...internet?

Maybe it’s because people are way more aware of Chris Brown and his abuse than John Lennon’s?

Your take is bad. Any take that says “this person was bad, don’t consume their art” is bad, and an insult to the intelligence and agency of, well, everyone.

Hi, gay here. I also find this post extremely superfluous and bad. I don’t care to be solicited for donations for a film idea that requires charity to exist.

After a rather annoying, too-high-art-for-me-to-appreciate intro

Also, I submit that valid or not, Joelle’s take does not provide the context that you do in your comment, so it’s hardly useful to people who *aren’t* familiar with Walker, who I presume are a big part of the audience for this review. It’s just not effective writing.

Detecting “wafts of vitriol” certainly makes it easier to dismiss opinions that don’t align with your own, doesn’t it. Perhaps you can explain how to properly disagree with women. Is there paperwork involved?

This sounds a lot like the Outsider, but less interesting.

The biggest shame is that people probably will see the C+ grade and not bother with the review or the show, never knowing that the C was for Capitalism.

This is becoming more and more common. I don’t read the AV Club to pick through the reviewers’ politics. I want the writer’s insight into the creative output of the performers, writers, editors. Why it’s worthwhile to see, what makes it different (if at all) from the other stuff out there. It used to be really easy to…

Mr. Robot is way more than weird for weird’s sake.

I will hazard a guess that you are not actually from a Nordic country. I will further guess that you can’t point to any Nordic complaints about “culturally appropriating” Thor, but I’d be delighted and impressed if you could. Because then you’d be the first example I’ve seen of someone representing a ‘marginalized’…

Yes, it’s totally realistic. Not all mentions of race are political unless you insist on making them so. Straight writers write about gay people all the time. Tall people write about short people.

You replied as well, my friend. And yeah I’m frustrated because I see in this post an example of what I see in many places on the web, which is the severe dumbing-down of content to maximize ad dollars - would you call it different? 

FFS with these bullshit clickbait headlines. There’s a way to write engaging content that doesn’t treat your audience like little babies, but instead the AV Club is just another marathon runner soiling themselves in the race to the bottom.
