For Your Consideration something that has nothing to do with the AV Club and nobody cares about. Great Job Internet!

Wow, how this site has fallen.
So, the story is basically “author has met person who is currently going viral for some reason”? OK then. Good for you.
Katie:
Is this what AVclub is now? Rather than post entertainment news designed to encourage comments, or post politically related entertainment news designed to ‘wake’ people up, you are just going to post shit tearing someone down? I mean... come on its obvious the guy is a dick, but by the very nature of this article you…
Yeah. And it’s their prerogative to do so but that doesn’t mean the rest of us want to look at them via modeling. To get outraged about the lack of obese older women in modeling doesn’t really hold much water for me. I don’t go to an art museum and get outraged that there isn’t more shitty art to look at.
Why does the average American woman reach a size 16 or more? This is actually not normal if you look at American women vs women in the rest of the world. Yes, people get a bit heavier as they grow older, but size 16 and more is ridiculously extreme. No one is born that way.
No one should be represented if the market doesn’t want it. No more than I should be an engineer at google. My traits are not needed in that profession (or wanted for that matter.)
Yes, but that is a nuanced position and such positions often seem unwelcome here.
Can one oppose DeVos/Trump and still think the Obama-era Title IX instructions went too far? There’s plenty of evidence of specific abuse (“weaponized Title IX,” as DeVos calls it) - is there any countervailing evidence that the new policies have helped victims?
Exactly what I was thinking. This is NOWHERE NEAR enough. I hope someone forces them to payback a lot.... like way more then these people need. Just to make an example of them
I think there’s a difference between what South Park does when they have a fight between two crippled characters that lifts directly from They Live or the fact that Timmy is a thinly veiled reference to a side comment in Phantasm and what Ready Player One offers, which is just Hey look! Remember Marty McFly! And Hey,…
Excellent article. I question why the NFL would allow an avowed Giants fan, whose family has had season tickets for 60 years, who has a shrine to Eli Manning and Phil Simms in her Giants colors painted sports cave, rule on any case involving the Giants or their rivals-especially in a matter as important as domestic…
Its that there are literally no witnesses to the events
-Dr. Thanning’s quote is pretty ridiculous. How is s/he in a position to say whether Thompson “pretty much told the truth as well as she can remember.” Is Thanning aware of all or even most of the facts that Thompson has claimed; is s/he aware of those accounts which conflict with Thompson’s. Neither doctor says…
I hate to be THAT GUY but this is why I cautioned against jumping to conclusions and trying this case in the court of public opinion. I got absolutely dragged for saying that a few weeks ago as a DV apologist. DV is the most frightening false accusation that could be made against you because even if there’s more than…
That is an absurd statement and not supported by reason. Stalin was anti fascist. Stalin had 22,000 poles killed in the Katyn massacre alone. Stalin is not good. Therefore your statement that “being anti-fascist is good” is a fallacy unless you agree the Katyn massacre was good.
So you are an anarchist. government serves the powerful without a doubt. However in well run states the government serves the less powerful and provided protection from the degradation that undoubtedly would fall on them without support.
Can we apply a bit of nuance and identify an element apart from the rest of the anti-fascist movement that revels in mischief for mischief’s sake? Or are we turning a blind eye to that now?
I’d say the real problem is the straight up anarchists who get lumped in with the antifa and immediately start shit just to cause mayhem.
