I see someone hasn’t had the pleasure of a Kale-Y Salad

Not because of the AV Club solely, but because they along with the Washington Post as well as film critic circles and other news outlets and journalists all together sent a boycotting message.

Individually we are weak, like a single twig. But as a bundle, we form a mighty faggot.

I think you’re laboring under the misapprehension that the Commentariat was some kind of locus of anti-Disney sentiment before the Kinja Dammerung. It wasn’t. Speaking as someone who trashed Disney and their stewardship of Marvel and Star Wars and got involved in long, drawn out flame wars because of it, I can attest…

I think it’s almost a guarantee the sealed off chambers contain curses of some sort. We talk a lot about what marvels the pyramids are but that’s nothing compared to how advanced Ancient Egyptian curse technology was.

Hopper: “Next time throw yourself into the Upside-Down, and rid us of your stupidity!”

Does screaming “no shit” into a paper bag under your desk count as reviewing now?

Mike misses El so much, that another girl’s presence within the group just heightened his sense of loss and trauma. Given his age I think it’s an understandable reaction.

Firstly he denied having made the racist insult, now he suddenly recalls that he did, but hey, it was part of a skit, a skit Yi apparently wasn’t in on. And to make matters worse he says that because his friend and colleague…

He could’ve taken the same tack many others are and said, “I had no idea! This is terrible and shocking!” Instead, he says what should be said, and he (appropriately) calls himself out as well. I give someone a lot of props for acknowledging what he did wrong and why.

tl;dr version: “I’m off the Miramax gravy train, so I stand to lose nothing by saying now what I should have said 20 years ago.”

“Their courage only hangs a lantern on my shame”

I don’t understand how this is a story about gender.

Because that IS “a sexism thing.” You’re telling someone that they should smile because you don’t approve of the expression they have. It’s telling them that their worth is based on how attractive you find them and that they’d be more pleasing, to you, if they were to change their behavior. It is saying that it…
