Sigh. Another predictable crop of white males. Wake up Hollywood, it's 2016.

I spent some time looking into the Steven Universe fandom once I heard they bullied a fan artist into a suicide attempt and dear god, they are a highly disturbing bunch of people.
Also, is it in the AV Club's best financial interest to be writing about this? Chances are, it is.
What the fuck
It must be a pretty awful time to be running a humor magazine on a college campus these days with the climate the way it is. I wonder if that's going to be a big part of the show.
This has nothing to do with movies, music, television, comedy, or even food. If I wanted political advocacy, I'd go to Salon.
I've been a Harmon acolyte forever but after he drunkenly savaged some poor kid on Twitter who gently criticized him I have officially checked out of the cult. I always kind of admired how he'd be the first to admit he was a thin-skinned egomaniac, but seeing that up close was super shitty.
Yet another example of a clickbait website taking a side that "feels" right instead of objectively reporting the facts. Stephen Colbert based his entire character off this concept - it's called "truthiness".
The director of The Amazing Spider-Man said the same thing when he cast Andrew Garfield, but I suppose that was a time before constant pearl-clutching and white male self loathing was in style.
Cultural appropriation at its very worst. A white man mocking a proud people by mugging and spouting nonsense. Despicable.
Sadly, I think it might be too late.
Articles like this are truly helping to win the war on racism.
At this point, it's kind of stupid for people to be debating who should be the next Daily Show host, let alone writing lengthy thinkpieces about it. That being said, Trevor Noah just isn't very funny.
The "A" in "AV Club" is for "aggregation"!
This is several years old.
The only offensive thing is how mediocre this guy is.
He's the Daily Show's Sarah Palin.
I really kinda hate that the AV Club is turning into just another aggregation mill.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
(Yawn)
