Just a reminder - Deadspin also had one of the best write-ups on the bullshit that was Gamergate, and was one of the first places that recognised what it meant:

Are you saying we should stick to sports?

So they just gave up and admitted that the Xbox is basically a PC and just made a PC tower. That’s cool, the design is solid.

Valve and other companies like facebook and such don’t care about cleaning up hate, only when it’s bad PR and the mainstream news is that they aren’t doing the cleanup will only move them to clean up or until someone with power can do so.

Almost like you spot the point and then completely ignore it.

This is what we deserve for teaching him how to read. 

Jared Leto has a cult. I’m done with Jared Leto.

This can be further shortened to “Christofascist” with little loss of nuance.

Bonhoeffer’s “Evangelical” church is just mainstream Lutheran. American Evangelicals are a rebranding of revivalist fundamentalism, and completely unrelated in organizational, historical, and doctrinal terms - the two share only a name.

This would be a fair thing to say, except that the discussion was, in fact, sparked by reviews written by, and interview questions asked by, reporters who had seen the film. 

FANPERSONS: Comic book movies don’t need to be callous, effects-laden spectacles made in a factory to print money for the studios! They can be artistic! They can be dramas, with as much to say about the human condition as any Oscar bait film! They should be considered seriously in the cultural conversation!

If Vazquez had, say, murdered a man, would Archer have said “I have a father so this really hits home”?

Not to nitpick Archer here, but there was a quote about people needing to talk about this through the lens of “I have a sister etc.” because it’s much less manly to be a feminist than it is to be an aggrieved property owner.

If you see something, and you have the savvy and insight of a psychiatrist, say something.

“Like bedbugs on your wedding day”

So to recap, Mr. “Our Society is Collapsing Because Free Speech on College Campuses is Being Threatened by Snowflakes!” is trying to get a media professor fired for a bit of criticism delivered as a harmless, pithy joke. 

I just re-joined Twitter like a month ago after a multi-year absence, and barely use it, but this whole situation has delighted me to no end.

To be fair, it’s really easy to shoot yourself in the dick while wearing those shorts.
