Like on one hand, I get it. She’s dealt with disgusting misogyny and slut-shaming for a long time, and that’s fucked up and unacceptable. But also, she’s been so disingenuous in the way she’s promoted and profited off this image of herself as a perpetual victim while simultaneously decrying it. This whole debate was…

OMG yes.

Bruhhh this is so embarrassing. Imagine being as rich and successful as this and still giving a shit about a throwaway line from a not very good netflix show. Just go take a bath in diamonds or something, Taylor. 

It boggles my mind that people can make that kind of money for such pursuits.

Cool. I look forward to Millennials fixing America’s social ills since Gen-X failed. Then I look forward to articles like this, written by Gen-Z, complaining that Millennials did not fix America.

Exactly.

Why would we think it would be? Even taking this up to a higher level than misogyny, The problem of sexism is not intrinsic to sexism. It’s the problem inherent with unaccountable power in power structures, something we might be able to limit and mitigate but that I doubt we’ll ever be able to completely eliminate.…

COUNTERPOINT: We can both investigate Cuomo for his increasingly-apparently abject mishandling of the nursing homes AND totally lambast Ted Cruz for being the worst kind of huckster-Senator who is fiddling as his state is anti-burning.

If I had to choose (why would I? Imagine your own scenario) I’d choose only films from before 1975 rather than only films after.

Dude’s not even a film writer. He’s a national correspondent who covers the American South. Who cares if he doesn’t watch anything before 1975?

I can’t help but draw a comparison between Trump supporters in 2021, and the congregants of televangelism who continue to donate their social security checks to the same TV prophet who went to jail for not paying his taxes, doing drugs, and picking up hookers.

While this sounds bad (and it is on the surface), lets put some other numbers to that.

The Republican party at this point is about nothing other than survivalism and that means “stop Democrats”. If Dems want gun control, Republicans don’t. If Dems want to address climate change, Republicans don’t. If the Dems are tired of watching American Idol, Republicans love it. This largely has to do with…

LOL dropping R and N bombs on some long ass post that no one will read. This is a dying former Gawker site I’m still fucking around on because of boredom and familiarity not the best place to drop your racist manifesto. 

There is a world of difference between comparing *public figures getting pushback on their stated views* to putting people in concentration camps, and comparing *putting people in concentration camps* to putting people in concentration camps.

It’s always funny to think how much children entertainment Disney, Fox etc has generated where it’s a bunch of scrappy underdog kids standing up to an evil corporation. 

They don’t even understand what their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was all about. Do we really not expect them to screw up interpreting Sci-Fi as well?

Well if there’s anyone you want on your side it’s Ben “I’m proud to admit I can’t get my wife wet” Shapiro.

The legions of supposed fans who seem to have completely missed the moral lessons of properties like Star Wars, Star Trek, various comic book heroes... do we really need to implement a test before people are allowed to enjoy entertainment? How do you not fucking get Star Wars?

Uh... I’m on Disney’s side in this particular case, but it’s not as though they aren’t the Empire of showbiz.
